Dirty Fashion Secret!

What I remember from my dream...

He introduced me to a world I had never known before. Showed me love I wasn’t sure existed. His affection was unreal and treated me like I was the only person who mattered in his life. He showed me hallucinogens and we fell more in love. As I became addicted to the drugs, I became even more addicted to him. He didn’t crave me as much as I craved him. He left me feeling dizzy in the world that was unknown to me. I was lost. And I still am.

KISS-keep it simple silly

Oh romance! Every girl needs to remember to Kiss! Kiss, Kiss, Kiss! Pun completely intended! The acronym for kiss or Keep It Simple Silly... is exactly what I'm doing. Since hanging out with this boy I've realized that there is much more to people than they may appear. We're merely getting to know each other and what finding what emotional and physical pieces make up the matter of our puzzle. It is so important to remember that things are not always what they seem. Just because he plays hockey, does NOT mean that hockey is his life... vice versa for me, just because I shoot photos, does not mean I want to talk about photography twenty-four seven. The activities he does are but small pieces of his puzzle that I've put together on my own... but what makes his puzzle captivating and complete to me are the pieces I have not earned to discover.


The more you trust someone the more pieces you feel comfortable revealing. The more revealed, the clearer relationship free of complications you have. It all seems so simplistic but there are complicated pieces of everyones puzzle. It's how we handle and accept these pieces that allow us to see the full picture for what it's worth. One thing that is hard to take into consideration is that although people may have negative pieces to their puzzle... it is only one segment of their entire image. Just as photography is one piece of my puzzle, it is a piece that is almost worthless. That piece of me is something that people may associate with me, but it is only a small simple part!

Evil vs. Mental illness

Although the priest Sunday morning was about 100 years old, he was talking about how all of the negatives in this world are in relation to the devil. The main topic was of the Colorado shooting just a few weeks ago and how the killer was a form of the devil... If I had a few minutes to spare after I would have told him that I completely disagree. The shooter of the Colorado disaster was mentally ill, not taken over or in a form of the devil. Statements like this make me question my already fragile faith. How could he drain the hundreds of minds sitting before me, under the "voice of God" suggesting that this man was the devil? To me, there needs to be some sort of line between religion and science/evil and mental illness. Please don't get me wrong... what happened in Colorado was tragic and appalling but has nothing, if anything to do with religion. I will remember this as a horrific event that cross country has touched the lives of many, but the people involved will be for the rest of their lives.

The General

No, not that "Maine" commercial. I've generally been thinking about life today. I want to hear people's stories, experience new sensations, and clean my slate. TODAY, I'm going to consider it clean. I want to start actually living and not watching life go by. I want to experience what I never thought was possible and start listening more than hearing my own thoughts and opinions. Inspiration comes from within but is better influenced by our surroundings and misfortunes then anything. I say this in a good way though... you can only go up from the bottom and theres a lot of hidden secrets we don't know down there.

Let the man lead...

To be edited later but I can't help but compare me always wanting to lead my dance parter instead of follow them. It's even a challenge for me to let the man lead because I lose my rhythm and step. Is that not the same in real life?

Expectations

It's been a while since I last posted and am going to start blogging a LOT more this summer (maybe even tack on some faithful followers!). Consistency is key in this situation because although I’ve posted a little over 80 times… the spontaneous needs to stop at least for a bit. I’ve had time to catch my breath and start focusing on new future goals instead of just talking about them!

 I’m gonna go ahead and pour myself a glass of wine now!

 

Lately I’ve been thinking of different situations and expectations verses reality. If we expect something to happen and it doesn't, as people we get upset or discouraged when reality does not match up. I need to change my mindset to be open to let anything happen and be satisfied with the results!
