you know what?
every once in a while for about 2 months i have wanted to write. i probably should have done it when the urge came because i remember they were good thoughts... but they are long gone now, buried in my hippocampus or wherever dreams die.
begin.
i don't know, maybe it's college, or maybe i'm getting older, or maybe my hearts just changing, but last january i did a novel thing for me (and maybe others) i made resolutions. i kept them. well, pretty much. and whatever the case, it was life-changing! something about making a small, practical, do-able list of things i wanted... worked. no lie, i had never done a 'life to-do' list before.
all this to say, every once in a while i'll catch myself saying 'you need to add that to what you need to work on.' here's some for ya, LIST:
following whims. who doesn't love that old lady in the grocery line that asks you how "my lands! how you college kids can do so much!!" randomly or that geeky guy that sits down next to you and asks what your major is and what you're studying, tells his life story, asks if you are a model (aw) and then hands you his web design business card (hang out in 1st floor neilson). there's something so fun about that. to be free to act on all the silly things you think and just be more expressive.
not hating people. i just honestly don't have the time anymore. i can hardly think of anyone i have hated starting this semester (and believe me i have run into those last semester people more than once-- lol that was just a joke. but it makes a point--remember thAT!). you don't have time to KILL. 1john3:15 haha think of that<:)
talking to God about things. he's probably the only one that doesn't mind hearing it.
seeing beauty in faces only their mother could love. let's start this out.. i love beauty. i love all things beautiful. i'm a designer for heaven's sake! but not all things beautiful are love. what i mean is that beauty does not always equate with good. there are some incredibly attractive guys and girls out there. let's face it, it's nice to look at good looking people and kind of sad/odd/scary looking at others. there should never be god-awful people. and when there starts to be, you have a problem. i am convinced that if i ever marry it will be an ugly but beautiful guy. they're way nicer, and finding beauty is way better than being blinded by it.
using your powers for good. i still haven't fully talked myself into this one yet. i am extremely sensing/perceiving and can read people like a book. i know exactly what people want.. sometimes i am incapable of giving them it, or flat unwilling to...but most of the time i use this "skill" to an unfair advantage. i tickle people's ears. professors, employers, acquaintances, friends...it is very unethical. but then again is there really a law against tickling? is it lying or living? i don't know this one yet.
appreciating the little things. in some way this reaction from this guy is incredibly moving: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI when did life cease to be so incredible.
bulletproof. i wish i were. peoples opinions, expectations, attitudes, aren't mine. why do i need to take them on?
