A Challenge? I think yes!

So I'm really happy with where my life is right now... I didn't realize how unhappy I was until I became happy again. I'm starting to see life in a totally new way, and it is refreshing! So with this new happiness I am going to try something I've never done before: I'm going to do and say everything I want to. I don't mean that in a bratty teenager way, I mean I'm going to be brave and tell people what I'm thinking. I'm going to take chances that could totally make a huge difference! No more sitting and hoping things happen without any initiative, I'm going to take charge. I'm also going to do things I've never done before. I want to play paintball, and ride a roller coaster, and get a tattoo, and get in the car and go somewhere I've never been before. I'm going to do it. No more restraints. Life will be fun for a change, I'm sick of being afraid of everything... I've already started a couple of those things, and I feel great! I can't wait to see what happens next! I hope everyone that reads this does something new and exciting just for the fun of it, you know you want to :)




As a footnote, I just want to say that I wasn't depressed or sad this last year, just blah. Don't freak out!

Moving Forward.

Today has been surprisingly inspirational. Thank you C.J. for always making me feel good about myself, I wish you could know how much you help me.


I rediscovered a music heaven today. I feel so peaceful and hopeful while surrounded by this music. I wish I could go back to Austin and do exactly what I want to do the entire time. Have breakfast at a hippie joint, enjoy a nice morning at Waterloo records, lunch at a health foods store, an afternoon of art galleries and vintage shoppes, and maybe even hang out with some of the sidewalk folk. What a day that would be. Anybody want to go to Austin and spend my perfect day with me?


Someday I will be content.

Is there for hope for the hopeless?"




My favorite painting by my favorite artist.
"The Scream" by Edvard Munch.
One of my goals in life is to see this painting and his many other masterpieces at his museum in Norway.
For some reason when I see this picture I feel peaceful.
