I just want to inspire. I want to inspire love and joy and hope. I want to inspire a movement -- a revolution. I want to speak honestly about real issues without judgement. I want to create thoughts and give them as a gift to the world. I want life and the pursuit of happiness to be on the top of everyone's to-do list. Think about it. &live |
Day 23. The amazing moments in life
This is part of a project I have for myself this year. 365 Reasons to Live. It’s pretty self-explanatory, and I would love it if you would check it out and follow =)

The series itself doesn’t entirely intrest me any point after the 4th book, but I suppose they are still a quality series. I just believe the franchise itself is entirely overrated. Maybe this stems from my lack of enthusiasm over almost anything fictional or anything mainstream. But honestly, I can think of a hundred things more productive than going to the movies, especially one that is banking multi-millions without my help. So excuse me if my disinterest of your excitement over the new movies isn’t quite the reaction you wanted, but I am equally entitled to my opinion. So if you don’t want to hear my honest thoughts, don’t invite them.
The truth is, the HP fandom drives me nuts. Last week I honestly almost gave up on the internet because of this. I just really couldn’t care less about any of it and I am getting so damn sick of it all.
I suppose in the end I just find it a bit sad that, as a nation, we are willing to invest BILLIONS into a fiction based franchise, yet we can’t seem to find the money to fund a proper educational system. Or, do you realize how many people that money could feed? How many people we might actually be able to get off the streets? I don’t think people can honestly even comprehend the HUGE difference a little change can make. You gotta look at the big picture. Donating that $10 to a charity instead might not be immediately beneficial to you, but in the long run, it quite possibly could leave us all better off.

So this is where it sets in..
The reality of my complete dissatisfaction with my life. The sinking feeling that I’m amounting to nothing. The ever deepening pit in my chest as I continue to feel that something is missing. And I’m constantly ahead of myself, planning things that might not even be possible.
I’m bored at school, I have almost no interest in my job, and I feel as if I’m being constantly abandoned by everyone I love and care about. I guess my own longing to run away stems from this. I never feel at home no matter where I go. Sure, some places are nice and I fall in love for maybe a week, a month, a year….but eventually it all gets old. These places are pages and I’m just waiting to until they can be turned.
And now I’ve come to realize that it might be awhile until I’ll actually be willing to settle down and plan a future with somebody. While I accept this because I know what I want and I will only be happy if I put my own needs first, it also adds to my loneliness. I’m not at a point where I feel I can compromise my plans for anyone yet. I’ve done that one too many times and I just can’t do it again. Fullerton is where I want to go. And after that, I’m hoping to get a master’s. I want to study abroad in London. Maybe spend some time on the east coast. And how can I have a long-term committed relationship knowing I’m bound to be somewhere else in a matter of months? So what is the point in getting involved in a serious relationship now? I would rather save myself that heartbreak.
And sure, it might be nice to have something simple, but relationships are never simple. And it might be nice to have a boy who likes me to dote on me even if I don’t feel the same, but I don’t ever want to settle…and this feels too much like settling to me.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I have lost my motivations because I’m quite sure what I am living and striving for. I try to remain positive, but life just isn’t fun anymore…and if it isn’t fun, then what’s the point in living? Especially when I look at everything and don’t see any of it getting better anytime soon.
Life doesn’t slow down for anyone. You gotta get on when you can and hold on tight, because if you don’t, you might just find yourself with your face in the dirt.

This is an absolutely adorable and uplifting film/poem. It reminds us that there is often nothing wrong with being alone. In fact, we should take the time to be alone and be happy with the fact, instead of obsessing over the ways to prevent it. So go ahead, treat yourself to a dinner and movie.
Lonely is healing if you make it..
If you never take the time to understand yourself or who you are alone, then how will you ever be able to truly fall in love yourself? Just like the way we take time to be alone with a significant other, we must also take the time to be alone with ourselves.
