Who are You?

" Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth." -Rumi
You will never figure out who you are if you are completely content believing everything everyone else has told you about life. You don't have to take everyone else's word for it. Live your own life, figure out what life means to you. Because other peoples definitions and stories are not enough for you to live life off of.
Find your own beauty and your own inspiration, don't let others expectations and doubts limit your view of your life. Unfold life yourself.
If you don't live your own experience in life you will never fully figure out who you are. This life is like a mystery for each of us to unfold, and we all have a different story with a different mystery to figure out.
For a long time I haven't been sure of who I am, I felt like a lost child in a dark night. No matter where I looked I couldn't seem to find a clue of where to go, or who to be. In the last year or so I became so worn out by trying to make people love me, and trying to please people that I had nothing left to give. I came to the conclusion that I did not love myself, so I couldn't expect someone else to love. I did not know who I was, and no one else could show me. I needed to figure it out for myself, almost immediately I realized as I came to find myself I felt more embraced by the people around me. As I came to accept myself others did as well.
Other people will come and go in your life, but you... well, you are not going anywhere. Each of us are given the gift of living with our conscience, our choices, our heart, and our mind for our entire life. You might as well learn to love yourself, and create yourself into whatever you have ever wanted to be. Unfold yourself, find yourself, create yourself and most of all love yourself.
Who you are now doesn't really matter, because you can change, you can create yourself into anything you want to be. Don't have reservations, feel free to set yourself free.
Who are you? It changes everyday some good and some bad. But when we realize that we have power over some of the changes in our lives we empower change for good. The changes in our lives that we have no power over, well we do have power over how we respond, and that is all the power we need.
So go for it, find out who you are, master it, and make your life a masterpiece.

Patience for tomorrow

I had something I wanted to write about for tonight's blog, I had something that I had been contemplating for a while and had finally formulated a way to talk about. However it would end up being a long blog, which I have no problem with, except that I don't feel very well. My thoughts are having a hard time being complete. My brain hurts and I feel like i have been emotionally running in circles, just a tad. And I decided not everything has to be done now, yes sometimes there are some very meaningful things that you would like to see happen that just can't right now. And this is one of those times, it doesn't mean that the future can't bring those things you want to see, it just means that you sometimes have to be okay with waiting for it. I will write about the things I feel the most about. but I am not going to throw something together just cause I need something to post. I have started to learn that you can't throw the most important things to you out there...

A voice for you

Lately there hasn't been a whole lot about my life that has made absolute sense. But the things that do make sense right now I am sure will never change. I know absolutely that I am a beautiful daughter of God made not only purposefully, but made on purpose, even the parts of me that I consider to be ugly. But somethings aren't as ugly or as bad as they first seem, you just have to wait to see the unexpected and sometimes unexplainable beauty. I know that this life is amazing and beautiful, but it seems to me that only a belief in a being higher than yourself whether it's God, or Buddha, or whatever thing it is people choose to believe in gives you enough insight and hope and depth to see past all the scars and marred moments of life to see beauty, I know that God loves his children enough to speak to them, not only in the past, but also now he will always find a way to speak to his children, because he loves them. I also know that the saying "if its not okay than i...

The Shame Game

     Exactly 450 days ago I got married, the day that everyone says is the happiest day of your life. I was happy, incredibly happy. But happiness is a strange and interesting emotion, it's not like instant gratification or even like the anticipation of a surprise, it's soft and quiet. Happiness comes through the application of true principles in life sometimes the result is so subtle that you will completely miss the happiness if you don't know that it is real and existing right in front of you. Happiness is like a habit and if you stop nourishing it, it will fade and completely disappear, most of the time we don't notice the absence of light and happiness until it is so drastic that it would take a great change of action to restore it.     On January 24th my husband moved out after almost 13 months of marriage. I had always known marriage would be hard and that it took effort and change to make it work, I saw my older siblings in their marriages and I knew w...
