For happiness. For sadness. For the ramblings that stream through my brain on a minute- to- minute basis.
Not really. But kind of.
This is my attempt at stream-of- (sometimes I am barely) consciousness writing. So, hang on.
Lately, I've had a lot more thoughts than usual. Some weren't so nice. Although, some are pleasant.
I'm learning that the older I get, the more I REALLY don't care what people think of me-for better or worse.
Some days, I feel like I'm 65. Others, 21. I don't know about you, but I've never felt 22. I don't really remember that age. I guess it wasn't important.
I was inspired to write this blog by one of my most favorite human beings in the world. She's strong, beautiful (inside and out), and has seen some shit. * I'm sorry, but I'm also learning that sometimes, there is no more appropriate word to use than the aforementioned. She writes in stream-of-consciousness, and I am fascinated and awed by how her brain works and how her stories come to life.
I'm not sure that I have THAT many stories, but I do love to watch people. I could do this for hours on end. I wonder if I could make a living doing THAT. I guess that's what security guards do. Surveillance people, maybe? I'm not discreet enough to hide in the bushes without wanting to jump out and scream, "surprise!"
And speaking of people, over the past few months, I've re-learned that if you can count the ones that will go to bat for you on one half of your hand, that's doing pretty good. I mean, really stick their necks out to say, "I believe in person XYZ, not because of what they COULD do for me, but because of who they are on the inside."
Who am I on the inside? Too many things to list. I am selfish. I am passionate. I Google EVERYTHING and everyone. In fact, I may know more about you than YOU know about you to begin with.
I like to read, and I love research. I believe in learning constantly, and get bored pretty easily. But, I believe that deep down, humans are good. Life just gets in the way.
I love all things that sparkle, shine, and are girly. Glitter included.
I don't like when people or life get dull and boring. I think God wants more from us, all of us, than that.
So, that's me. This is the blog. Stay and play a while if you'd like. More ramblings to come. Maybe I will be a detective, since I love research and people watching.
I'll keep writing, too. Just in case..
