    “if you wanted to do something absolutely honest, something true, it always turned out to be a thing that had to be done alone.” ― Richard Yates   ------------------------------------------------------   I don't remember if I've written on this before.  I have spent so much of my life imaging a future with a husband, and a family, but in the end I could end up alone. You see, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being alone, in fact I quite enjoy it. If I'm bored I can do something and not worry at all how the other feels about it. I can cook whatever I want, clean whenever I want, heck I can just lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling for hours and have no second thoughts about it. I have no problem with being alone, now or in the future. I deeply believe that either way I have the power to do immeasurable things with great force and conviction with or without someone by my side. Often times my only obstacles in this life are people, peop

Every person you meet is touched by you in some way." -Anonymous   ------------------------------------------------------------------- I keep forgetting what day it is so I keep missing posts. my bad.   I went to the beach this week. Nothing bad can come from going to the beach, let me just make that extra clear. The beach is one of those places that brings me life and I will never stop reminding people of that. I went to the beach, but specifically the tide pools. I am an ocean nerd, that is not new information, but the tide pools at Venice Beach were by far some of the coolest ones I've ever seen. So many different creatures in the water. Anemones, fish, algae, crabs, maybe even an urchin or two living together in this tiny pool when the entire ocean in one rock behind them.     Sitting there on a rock, in a weird position so I wouldn't step

  “The scarcity of time is the reason we have to concentrate on one thing at a time.” ― Matt Perman   -----------------------------------------------------   I think I'm good at multi-tasking, but I am really not. I mean to say that while I certainly can have many things on my plate and get them all done, it causes a very strange reaction in my body. I become overwhelmed until I make myself sit down and write out everything that I am actually doing to let my brain know that it will all be okay. Even as I write this I am doing two things.     But there's always time for a metaphor or a simile so here goes... I think of the time we have in life like a dessert. It's dry and long, but there are bits of plants, animals, rocks. Most of the plants are prickly because there is something trying to rid them of their habitat. Time is a dangerous thing because the more time we have under our belt the closer we are to being rid of the earth (sorry that

  "Money won't keep folks from grieving, and it won't stop love from leaving. So here's my two cents: what's the use in making money." - Ben Rector   ------------------------------------     I think it's funny how worried everyone is about making money, myself included. I mean I understand that this society capitalizes off of everything and grows from human desire for more material things, but we can live without it. The world has become one giant materialist hell hole circling a ball of fire in the sky. Nothing has true value anymore. A photo never seems to mean as much unless it was taken with the nicest camera or the newest phone. We go to event just so we can post about them and bring home some sort of physical representation that we were actually there. If you couldn't take anything to a new country or place or bring anything back to prove you had gone, would you still go?   I deeply crave to disappear and not have to dea

"On a scale of 1-0 are you happy?" - Bo Burnham --------------------------------------------------------- Happiness is one of those terms that doesn't really having a true meaning. People have depression, people have other mental conditions, people have good days and bad days. Happiness is a relative term. Something closer to euphoric (I've been pretty partial to that word lately) and cheery would be better. That being said I'm going to talk about being happy anyway and use that word regardless. I just wanted to clear things up with the word and the connotations that follow it. Happiness, my dear friends, is quite a lovely thing because you can posses it even if you're having a crummy day. I meet new people every day and always get the question "how are you." It's common courtesy to ask that, but instead of answering with "good" or "fine," I've been answering with "happy." I am in a rut. I
