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.

Confessions of A Virgin

    "These are the times that try men's souls. Tyranny like hell is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain to cheap, we esteem to lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price on it's goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated."     -Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, 1776     Years ago a series of events played out in my life, not all pleasant; but required, I am convinced in the making of the person I am today.     About two and a half years ago, I was hanging out with some of my girl friends after a broadcast fireside one night. They were talking about men, as woman usually do, and their physical interactions with men; probably not with the respect that should be remembered in conversations with others. I was the innocent one in the ...

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...

im not running

The last few weeks have gone by so fast that time feels like cool water running through my fingers, there's no way to stop it you simply have to enjoy the feeling and the sensation while it's there. I have sent my baby brother on his mission since I was on here last, I have decided to move and a host of other choices great and small have come to heart with in the last while. The main one though is the moving thing, I just recently got the feeling that I'd done what I came here to do and that it's time to move on. So i'm moving, I've been in my current ward for two years, two beautiful, hard, sometimes ugly, very miraculous years. I'm not the same person I was when I first moved in this ward, and it's a good thing, I think. Actually I'm pretty excited too I feel I have done so much these last two years and have learned so much and this ward is all I have known since I moved to salt lake, so I am taking a leap. It's exhilarating really!!! I feel ...
