Headbreaks and Heartaches

write out your thoughts, keep a clear mind at all times. a clear mind is an open mind. and an open mind is the key to all success. writing is one of the most fabulous ways of expressing yourself creatively and channeling your word vomit and mind cloudyness into something else. throw all of it away and put it somewhere, like in a painting or in a notebook, (or a blog!), and it will be off your chest and out of mind.

My Little Bubble of a Dream: Amish Style

So my last post was because of exciting news i just recieved. I have taken a very fond interest in the Amish and their culture and way of life. I have visited Amish Country several times and read many books on the Amish. I developed a sudden, random desire to have an Amish penpal, and create a relationship with an Amish person. Everyone thought I was crazy, and I did too. But it wouldnt leave my mind, and I decided to just go for it and answer my strange interest.
So i set out and started emailing and contacting everyone and anyone I thought might be of help to me, and was getting help from some people, but mostly I was recieving responses that crushed my hopes and basically said my dream was 'impossible'. And I started to believe it was true.
One man from a company I was emailing was going to contact his friends who lived near and had friends in the Amish community. I didn't expect anything from it, but after i followed up another email with him, he said that he had contacted them and they were going to talk to a family that might be interested. That was yesterday.
This morning I found an email labeled "Good News!" in my inbox. I have the full address of a girl that wants to correspond with me, and I am so thrilled. I share this with everyone because I had a seemingly impossible dream...and it became a reality. So do not give up. I will continue to update my penpal status, as well!

Dreams really do come true. Jiminy Crickett was right all along. Nothing is impossible or too out of reach for anyone. If there is something tugging at your heart and sticking to your insides and clouding up your mind, listen to it. Follow it. Dont let go of what you desire most in life. Whether it be something silly and little, or the dream of a lifetime, if its worth it, go after it. Dont make the mistake of living in the 'what if...' We all are created with the ultimate potential, so dont sell yourself short of that. Stick to your guns, and follow those dreams. Dreams can come true, and they arent just for children and Prince Charmings. We ALL have dreams. And they CAN come to life.

Love and Fate...or Hate?

Why do the minds of men tend to function so differently than the minds of women? Or is it just my mind? Is it only because of my particular way of thinking that I find myself butting heads in all of my relationships? I think that most of the struggle in relationships comes from miscommunication. Its so easy to get angry at your significant other when they dont see things from your eyes and understand exactly what your feeling and what you want. I know first hand that I get automatically frustrated when my boyfriend doesnt say what I want him to say or do what I expect him to do. Isn't it peculiar how we unknowingly have expectations in our mind for everyone? And we want them to live up to the standards we set. The interesting thing is that these standards are unspoken, invisible rules. Women make up lists of qualities, traits, behaviors and different expectations in their heads for men. And a relationship, in a sense, or dating, rather, is almost the time for men to search and discover exactly what to do and how to act. It is a natural thing to do, I am not bashing anyone. But I find myself getting angry and starting a fight when I am upset about something and my boyfriend doesn't understand automatically...I realize he doesnt understand because I do not explain or communicate anything to him! Lets give these guys a LITTLE leeway..

But hey, I still think men should be able to read my mind and understand me automatically. Aren't I right, ladies?

Lollipops and Cotton Clouds

There are too many times in life where we tend to second guess, 'what if', or hesitate in many situations. We, as human beings, are gifted with the beauty of a brain, but accidentally use it in some events. I believe in the sense that there is indeed such a thing as thinking TOO much. Go after what you believe in and feel, don't think twice about it. Thinking too much can swallow a person entirely. I don't advise not thinking at all, because thinking things through is crucial, but I advise throwing away thoughts of worry and negativity, and letting yourself go. We put up way too many stop signs in life for ourselves. They are just excuses. There are already enough stop signs we will encounter on our journeys through life, so lets stop when necessary and quit building our own barriers.

Lemondrops and Sunflower Seeds

Colors of joy and happiness are intoxicating and fullfilling. Yellow is my favorite because of how incredible it makes me feel. Did you ever realize how colors evade your being and create a feeling in you without your permission? The golden rays of the sun hitting your skin is the perfect medicine when your having a bad day. When I feel lost and ready to rip my hair our, I close my eyes and let the glimmer of the sun dance upon my skin. Sunshine is a magical thing.
