Simple pleasures

I was rereading all my past posts and damn, I sound like the same emotional teen, angst ridden, drama queen I've always been. Ha! I guess it's true, I haven't changed a bit from 8th grade : / Oh well!

Anyways, all has been good here. I've been working on some projects that have kept me extremely busy along with work, but right now they are all open circles. It can't be helped because of the nature of what it is but I'm hoping to materialize some soon!

I miss Arti. I wish she weren't so far away... Esha is here though. Sitting next to me. Coloring. I enjoy coloring with her. It's quite relaxing. I guess I'll get back to what is important - staying inside the lines.

"We want the best for you"

We always want the best for those we love. But, what we don't realize is that while we push for the best we are destroying their now, their happiness... and in many cases their best.

The conflicted ramblings of me

"You can either go (emotionally) broke running around trying to please everyone, or you can spend your time creating, living and being AUTHENTIC" - From a blog posting by Jenny Blake

Patience

Patience and Understanding. Something I wish more for every single day. There just isn't enough. Whether it's with myself, people in my life, situations I put myself in or what life has given me - god, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

And if all else fails - don't worry, be happy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIM3GHvBQjY.

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...

...I hope you dance.

Before I left for Mason, my mom printed these lyrics out, signed it Love, Mom, and gave them to me. I carried them with me throughout my 4 years in school. The same message I kept in my heart thereafter. The words are simple, beautiful, humbling.

Then that day came, when he asked me to dance. And without knowing what it would mean then, I said yes. The song couldn't have been any truer.

In every moment I want it and even when I need to hear it, it is all in this song.
