Free Your Mind
How much do we as people actually value the beauty and significance of our own minds? As humans we have naturally grown accustomed to trying to blend in. Its easier to share the same beliefs and moral values with a group of people than it is to disagree and have your own opinion. Although that may be an easier route I have come to disagree that it is the right one. There is a reason why we are all constructed differently; granted there are like people with the same views but its important to keep true to yourself. I think fitting into your own skin is something that comes with age. There comes a point in everyone's life where you realize that being yourself really is the only option. Life is too short to spend trying to impress others. Being yourself is beautiful and there are plenty of people out there that will value your personality rather than not. & for those that don't agree, well that's their opinion isn't it?

A quick note. Days like today really make me wonder where the sense of family always sticking together even in the face of trouble has gone. Im living with A family that technically isnt related to me at all but they act like more of a family figure than my own. The problem lies within generations,if your brought Up in a seemingly every man for themself home than that is going to follow you for the rest of your life. Only you can break the cycle and IM sure as hell ready To do that in my case. Family is all you have, treat it like its gold<3
Allow Me To Introduce Myself
So ALREADY I started writing this in the most text book form. My name is blah blah blah, I'm blah blah blah years old and like to blah blah blah. That's what is expected but in all actuality does it really matter? I for one think age is pointless. I don't think age should define a person because really what do you learn from someone by knowing their age. That's right, absolutely NOTHING. Whenever I meet someone new I like to play a game with them, its as old school as it comes but just a little more factual. Ten facts about yourself, about your interests, passions, beliefs. So what better way to let any soul that decides to read this disastrous little blog know about me than by doing just that! Here it goes....
1) I consider myself to be a very outgoing person. I've been known to get a bit carried away sometimes, but hey what's life without a but of embarrassing stories to tell as time goes by. In the same breath I also think I'm really shy and guarded. I really enjoy being by myself and I have absolutely no problem with calling it a night at 8pm on any given Friday night. Pretty much I'm a walking contradiction but what can I say.
2) I love fashion. If I could drop everything and become a stylist I would. There's the dreamer in me I've always loved to shop and take my friends shopping. I mean really what girl doesn't but for me its so much more. Clothes are works of art and we are their canvas. You can learn so much about a person just from looking at what they're wearing and I love it! Although I've had to cut back recently in my clothing addiction I still love finding things that I've had for a while and mixing them up with something new! I'll always love clothes and deep down inside I'll always aspire to be Rachel Zoe.
3) I have a great respect for people that work hard and do things on their own. The most revered people in the world truly had to bust their ass's to get where they wanted to be in life and I honestly believe that if you work hard enough and really put your mind to something you will always accomplish your dreams.
4) I want to leave an impact on the world. I mean really who doesn't but for me it means so much more. I think everyone has the capability to make their mark. Everyone is meant for something, we are all here for a reason and our life mission is to find out what that reason is. So many people spend their lives working towards the "big picture" that is having a job that leaves you well off, having a loving family to come home to every night, and hopefully have enough money when they reach their sixties to retire to FL. I'm sorry but although it is necessary to do all that in order to survive that is NOT what we are all here for. The world is huge and I have every intent on enjoying it for as long as I can!
5) I want to travel the world. I'd love nothing more than to live in Europe for a year. I want to see this crazy world and not through others, I want to see it for myself!
6) I'm a very independent person. I don't rely on anyone for anything, because that is just setting yourself up for disappointment. However this doesn't mean that I don't genuinely care about the people in my life because I do. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm a very easy read, however don't be quick to judge because there is much more to me than meets the eye.
7) I thrive off the simple things. I love a good cup of coffee in the morning. A good hair day. A nice home made dinner. A good book. Candles. Being surrounded by friends and family. Laughter and even Tears. Silence is a beautiful thing. A day of doing absolutely nothing. And so so so much more.
8) Until recently I don't think I really understood what life was all about. Although I'm sure I still have a lot more to learn I strongly believe that Happiness is key. Without happiness what is life really worth living?
9) I love music. I honestly relate to so many songs and their lyrics. I think its a beautiful gift to be able to touch so many people with your words and I would love nothing more than to be able to give that gift to others.
10) Which brings me to my final fact. Why am I writing a Blog?! I would never in a million years think that I would be one to do such a thing. But then again I never would have expected myself to be where I am today either. Ultimately the main reason behind all of this is one so I can vent and two because I'm in the process of finding out what I want to do with my life. I recently met someone that inspired me to follow heart and made me feel for the first time that maybe my beliefs and values weren't as crazy as I thought they were. I've always enjoyed writing and have always prided myself in how I can make myself come across exactly the way I want to when I write. So why not! I can't promise greatness but I can promise one thing. Everything I do will be true.
