Write.

I've reallly taken to blogging as of late. To be honest, it's given me a reason to use my brain. In fact, even after writing on here, I take out my black journal and write in it. Which means that I'm writing twice as much. I use to just write in my journal when there was something bothering me, but now I'm recording everything that happens to me. But I'm enjoying it all very much. I've actually never felt more liberated in all my life. I'm finding my voice, my heart, and my opinions. Actually, recording everything and looking back on my life thus far has made me realize that I have lived a life that's pretty amazing.

I think it's the simple things that are taken for granted. Most people just toss the little things, like the smell of the air before it rains, to the side. They ask why that musky dirt, grassy smell is important. I'll tell you why, because one day you won't smell that smell anymore. You'll be laying in the dirt. There's a lot of things that I've come to pay attention to. Like the sounds outside of the window at night, the sound of my son breathing at night, certain comforting things that I've began to take notice to.

I love the Goo Goo Dolls. Especially their newest song-"Before It's Too Late". That song is amazing. There's a few lines that I've fallen for. Like the first two lines, I wandered through fiction to look for the truth, buried beneath all the lies those lines are amazing. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks so, but they're so vivid. Then there are the lines Don't fall, just be who you are, that's all that we need in our lives. What amazing advice! JUST BE WHO YOU ARE!!!! I love that. Is it just me, or do songs written for movies seem to be the most beautiful songs you've ever heard. Take "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls. City Of Angels was a beautiful movie with a beautiful soundtrack, I loved the song "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan. I love the Snow Patrol song "Signal Fire" from the Spiderman 3 soundtrack. But you see what I mean?

I was trying to write my "about me" section on myspace today, and what I came up with was amazing! I didn't think I was capable of writing such an about me, but I did, and I'm going to share it with you! So, smile, cause you get to read it.

Okay, here it goes:

I don't quite know where to begin, that's a problem of mine, you know. Not knowing where to begin. Kind of like I don't know where to end these things either. But I'll try my best to introduce myself in an amazing way. I'm generally a happy person. I enjoy hanging out with my friends, like any other 19 year old. I love my husband, as a wife should. I adore my child, he's my life. I love writing because it washes away the dust and dirt from my brain. I enjoy watching movies because the soundtracks. I love listening to classical music because it's soothing. I'm a high school graduate, and that's something I'm proud of. I dream big dreams and know that eventually one day, I will make them all come true. I believe your destiny is something you create. Our pasts are what teach us to be better individuals. We are the sum of our errors. Life is beautiful if you take the time to live it. Don't forget to say I love you to those that you love. Don't forget to apologize to your friends. Never take anyone for granted because at any moment they can disappear forever. Don't forget to slow down in the rush that is life and smell the roses, because it's a sweet smell you might not get the chance to breathe in. Winning isn't everything, it's that you participated. Live your life loud and proud, don't be ashamed of who you really are. Never take the simple things for granted, because they are the most precious. Ask questions, it's the only way you learn anything. Don't be a fair-weather friend, they're annoying; But most of all, and I mean this seriously, make friends that will be there for you through the tough times and the good times and be that friend for them.


And that was it.

Anyways, I do hope you all are having a good day...don't forget to write for yourself, it'll feel so liberating.
