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.

There's someone in my life

    A couple weeks ago I went and watched the movie ' A Fault in Our Stars' in the theaters, i cried, not just the sad end of a movie cry. It was an almost hysterical, I'm falling apart, and for some reason this is really hitting home cry. I don't know why. Well at least I didn't at the time, I cried myself to sleep, and I didn't know why. I started crying and just didn't really stop until I feel asleep.     Well not everything remains a mystery, and not everything is apparent immediately, somethings just come when they come. This did, it came, there was no stopping it, it came.     At the end of the movie there is a moment when Hazel Grace is reading a letter from Augustus, something he wrote to her or about her before he died. He tells her that pain is part of life, and that we can't choose pain, he says " You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers. I...

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...

Judgemental Driving

So this may be a little known fact about me, but I have road rage. It's not really extreme but I have no patience with other drivers and I often catch myself judging other drivers over simple things. Such as what lane of traffic they are in, or which lane they decide to turn into. It's probably not super apparent, but something that if you drove with me often (which no one does by the way) you would probably notice. Tonight was a good example of this problem of mine, there was a car in front of me that turned into a turning lane to a road that in my mind seems to lead no where. As I watched this car I mumbled under my breath something about "Do you even know where you are going, or are you lost? Cause that kind of goes no where important." Than I thought about it for a second and realized, maybe their home is on that road, maybe they are going to visit a loved one. Maybe they are headed to a best friends house, in all of those cases it would be a road to somewhere im...
