I have been the wonderful age of 22 for a grand total of 1.5 days. I haven't written in this blog for a grand total of about 1.5 years. In honor of the year long drought of journaling and the recent celebration, I've decided to contemplate and note 22 thoughts that cover the last year and a half. This way, I'm all caught up and can start new and fresh next time I write, which hopefully, will be sooner than a year away.
1. I love my birthday. It's the happiest day of the year for me. It is a day where I surround myself with the people I love and am reminded, every minute, that I am loved back.
2. Life can get hard without you realizing the real reason why.
3. Life can be good. Life can get bad. Life can be real good and life can get real bad. Sometimes imagination saves you and sometimes dreams drown you.
4. Expectations make life challenging. It's how the actual achievement or failure is coped with that defines the outcome.
5. Anger comes in one shade: darker than the pain and uncertainty it hides.
6. Time and faith work together to create long desired masterpieces.
7. Two hours is far but manageable. Eleven hours is isolating, jumbled, disconcerting and wrenching.
8. Sleep is a necessity though not so easily obtainable. Every little bit should be treasured although it's easier to gain and then abandon when you're not alone. Sleeping, just as much as waking, is safer that way.
9. Loyalty matters. I'd almost forgotten that. Many times it seems that loyalty has become a long lost virtue. It's very nice to be rewarded for being loyal to what you believe in.
10. I need time to play. The life void of enjoyable, creative experiences is not one for me. No matter what tasks are pressing down on me to be completed, I still need the chance to have a little fun.
11. Not knowing what I want to do with my future is frustrating. Knowing what I want to do but not knowing how to do it is unnerving. The thought that how to get what I want is not what I want to do is disheartening .
12. Forget regret or life is yours to miss.
13. Jealousy is a dangerous arena. Everyone inside has the potential to win or lose but none more so than the guardian of the gates. It is up to them, and only them, how much of a threat is created.
14. The world really is a stage. Each person has their role in the production and each person has a different purpose, character, and part. The characters in life, as in any play, also have different relationships when it comes to each other. Some people provide the core emotional support for the hero/heroine while others are simply the chorus. Conflict inevitably arises when this balance is questioned and/or tested against the will of the cast.
15. Grater's ice cream and Starbucks are two things I have yet to get enough of.
16. Enjoy the people that surround you. You don't always know how long they will remain standing next to you but they have the ability to etch a moment in time. Embrace the people you care about, take the risk and leap in. If you find yourself being drug through the current, it's ok to get away to the surface for air and try again elsewhere. When you find yourself finally floating, its worth all those times you sunk.
17. The possibility of a supernatural world beyond that which we can perceive is an intriguing theory. A world intertwined with ours where angels and demons battle for souls and our free will tallies victory or defeat for both sides is both comforting and haunting.
18. Home is a word I've always taken for granted. All those sayings, home is where your heart is or home is where your toothbrush hangs etc. have never really meant much. I used to think the term home was nothing more than a label. Now I'm not quite sure where that label fits, my toothbrush no longer has a hook and my heart only beats inside of me.
19. Trust should not be feared for fear is best faced and overcome with someone you trust.
20. I should quit cheering for any sports team I like. They always lose. Then again, there's always next year.
21. Grey's Anatomy is the best show ever and I love it very much.
22. Summer has come and passed. The innocent can never last. Wake me up when September ends.
