Stars

Star gazing – it is a beautiful past time. It’s hard to believe something can be so beautiful yet so far away … and when you get up close to an actual star their appearance is completely different

I like to think we are stars

Each one of us is unique and although you think certain things about each one of us – once looking up close you notice something completely different

Another thing that I notice while star gazing is the number

Sometimes there are very few stars out while at other times there are way too many to count

In life I truly think you go through periods – one: being alone (but not completely) and two: with your love (of many shapes and forms)

You also seem to get less or more opportunities in life depending on the people you know

If you know few then you tend to get less events available to you but if you know numerous amounts of people, more events seem to appear

That’s another thing about star gazing and life – they are both unpredictable (for the most part)

Shooting stars are always a surprising bonus when looks at the night sky – it allows you to make a wish of another surprising bonus to occur in the day light

They are magical in their own way just as we have a little magic in us too

I like to think we are stars – a magical wonderment that allows for brightness while the rest of the world is dark

Consistently Inconsistent

 I've certainly proven that I'm unable to regularly journal or blog. That I'm pulled to write when things are bad or awry or beyond my control, but rarely in a time where I feel joy, happiness or am at peace with things. We all know I'm here, journaling again, because I'm in my head. Feeling. Reflecting. Likely overthinking. As to be expected - consistently inconsistent.  I've been pushing myself for months now. Focusing on doing more, achieving more, earning more, finding more....always more . And I am so t i r e d. Somewhere along the way of trying to redefine myself and achieve goals I had set for myself, I lost sight of why I was doing things. What was motivating me. Why I set these goals. 

Tick Tock

Tick Tock Tick tock That's the sound I hear, every time I debate changing something. That's the sound I hear when I wonder if the work I'm doing is enough It's the sound I hear when I wonder how I can make a bigger, better impact It's the sound I hear when I question my purpose and abilities Tick Tock…Tick Tock…Tick Tock. Over and over, I hear that same sound. Am I ready for a car? A house? A family? Tick Tock.  Will I ever be?

Simplicity

I understand so many of us live incredibly busy lives.  I myself am a full-time university student, trying to keep my average above 70, hoping to start a new volunteering job, playing intramural sports at my university, and maintain my close relationship with my family, friends, and Wallee (inside joke/story! you know who you are).  I know of people that work two jobs, others that are in school full-time and working one or two jobs, and of course there are those that work full-time.  We all have our own additional stressors and troubles, which often cause us to become tense and uptight, moody, forlorn, wistful, nostalgic, and are simply draining mentally and emotionally. When I reflect on my life right now, I realize there are times I don't exactly enjoy it.  I'm not a fan of the way education is taught, graded, and judged and that often causes me displeasure in my studies.  Sometimes I just get run down, tired, and sick of all the pressure.  I'm sure man...
