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!

Irresistible Impulse
There is a phrase I’ve forgotten… something along the lines of “go with your gut feeling” but the impulsiveness of a ‘gut feeling’ may not always be the best bet. I can’t exactly preach to the choir, but the unhealthy reactions that I’ve given out lately seem to come at the wrong time… or wrong moment, where if I would let time play its course than I would have nothing to worry about. (ARRR) wrong.
Where is my safety net? I envy those who can fall into a net of controlled thought. My mind seems to work so impulsively with no control like air pockets in bubble wrap that seem to keep popping making the problem worse than supporting what the comfortable plastic is actually there for (realization and control).
Ah, I agree, the mind is a terrible thing to waste, but how exactly to control the minds impulses is one technique that may benefit and allow me to take advantage of not giving a shit about things that don’t matter.

Jean-Luc - Trust
Here are three things I know to be true:
1. I know that Jean-Luc was right when he said a "a good story has a beginning middle and end" although not necessarily in that order
2. Not all that glitters is gold - but it might in your eyes under a certain light
3. I'm still young, and gathering all my past/present knowledge and experiences to learn what I do not know of the future
Dan Brown suggested that the key to the future is hidden in our past and also that trust (powerful truth) has its own gravity and eventually pulls people back to it. (i'm not going to lie- hah) but trust is a huge issue for me and I can't help but keep past events on my personal back burner. It's easy to pull back a page and rip it out of a book, but it's unrealistic to pull a page from my past in fear that it may be the key to my future. I do believe that people come in and out of our lives for reasons whether it is to teach us lessons or change our attitudes but how can I shake this horrible quality that has been embedded in me for almost four years?
Let the pages keep turning in hopes that my experiences and growth will help me take control of my future to be the best person I can possibly be.
