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.

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...

Keeping Memories for Yourself

In my last blog post I talked about enjoying, remembering and relishing the details of your life, this has become more and more real to me through out the summer, because the last year of my life has been one of the greatest blessings I have ever received.     Almost exactly one year ago today I was working in retail in a clothing store called DressBarn, contrary to how it sounds they actually have really cute clothes, and despite everything I did like work there. I also knew there was a lot missing in my life. I had fun coworkers, I had some awesome customers that I loved, but I felt pent up and frustrated a majority of the time.     I have always wanted to be a mother, I am LDS so a huge focus in culture and life is the family. I lived about 125 miles from my family and mostly just saw them over Holidays because I didn't have money for the travel back and forth, and I didn't want my parents to feel like they had to pay for the gas. I wasn't dating anybody or even...

Warmth and Love

The past few days it has really hit me how much grief and loss affect each of us in our lives. No matter how much those around us seem to have it all together there is a great chance there is something that they are grieving in their life. In September my family almost lost my mom, she has always struggled with kidney stones and due to some oversight she ended up in the ICU with sepsis. For days I waited at home unable to do anything to help feeling almost crippled by the pain and fear that I might lose her. One night I went up and laid on her bed and wound up a music box and cried. I didn't want my younger brothers to see me completely fall apart so I stayed in my parents room until I had nothing left to cry. My mom recovered and was able to return home, but even now 5 months later there are moments I can still see that she is still healing from the experience. I know looking inward on my heart that I sometimes feel flashes of the fear creep back in, and that in my ow...
