I try to think about what I want my life to be like when I turn twenty-five, but all I can think is that it’s only two years from now. My mind asks me to think about thirty than, but it all becomes this hypothetical thing of what ifs and could be’s and I don’t want to go back down that path, and get stuck there and forget about what is right in front of me. Though I also know I need some short of direction or path for my future to go anywhere what so ever. So I thought in the grand scheme of it all I guess I’ll just write down the things I know for sure.
· I feel like I need to grow up and put away with childlike things, but the inner child never lets me bid her away for too long.
· I’m much more of a girly girl than a tom boy but I have my days in both realms.
· I’m a writer, and I wished to be published and make a living out of it. (Well known or not)
· I watch far too many cop/murder/investigation and horror sitcoms and movies for my own good, but I feel like deep down it keeps me prepared and in the know if should happen in real life.
· Afraid that I might wake up one morning and Stanley is gone (passed away) I always give him a belly rub and kiss and tell him I love him. (Extras if he doesn’t want to sleep in my room)
· I get in my own way more than I admit to myself; I let outside sources become inner demons.
· I like fruit and sorbets and smoothies and such more than I like chocolate or cakes, though a chocolate chip cookie (chewy or soft) is always hard to turn down.
· I love weather, and get bored of it staying constant and I miss Colorado more for it slightly, besides that my family is there.
· One of my greatest fears is I will become like the extremely heavy people on TV documentaries that are too big to get out of their chair or bed.
· Sometimes I feel like I’m constantly fighting the battle of wanting to be pretty (even considered beautiful) but not perceived as dumb. (which I think is fueled by my mother somehow)
· In regard to the last statement I’m trying to learn to grow out of my habits of not caring how I look, and embracing how I feel and want to look for me.
· Another one of my fears, and would be regrets is to watch life pass me by. Which I know if I don’t start acting differently or changing things up I will be doing.(Perhaps have been doing for a while now)
· While I think some of my art and/or writing is good, most of the time I believe its amateur at best.
· I find it hard to fall asleep at night unless I’m utterly exhausted from the day’s events. And in the morning even harder to get up, regardless of how much sleep I’ve gotten or how fast I feel asleep the night before.
· Half the time I see the tattoo on my wrist I think it would have been better had I just gotten the one bird on the inside of my wrist near my thumb. (Though it’s constantly out ruled by the reminder it does give me when I think about its meaning.) Plus I’d never get any of my tats removed.
· I’m afraid that in the end even when I lose the rest of my extra weight, that it won’t be enough.
· As much as I love going out to dinner and such at night and would at most consider myself a night owl, I think I truly am more of an early morning person, when it does work out right with sleep. I quite enjoy seeing the sunrise and the morning itself.
· I truly want to be able to go full Monty (totally out) and design and décor my bedroom/ future home one day.
· As much as it scares me I do one day want to learn how to swim, more so that I can protect/teach my kids when I have them.
· I want to have kids and be married by the time I’m 35. (Which might be hard to imagine at this point-see very last quote-)
· I would never get surgery of any kind unless it was needed; I just don’t think it’s wise to mess with what Mother Nature has given you.
· I would have to live with the guy I want to marry before I married him, since I truly do believe in the saying, “that you don’t truly know a person till you live with them”.
· I love books and should read them more often, but when it comes to buying them it’s hard because I like to read a book than pass it along for someone else to read than it sit on a shelf to gather dust, just in case I may want to read it again one day.
· Silly but true I watch as many England Patriot (Seasonal) games as I can just to root for the other team, because I think Tom Brady gets more credit than he deserves.
· If/when I go back to college I want to study languages (Spanish, French, German, Greek and maybe Arabic) and better my writing and take art/design classes and some music ones(learn piano/guitar) and learn about all the religions and cultures in the world, though in the end I don’t know what degree I’d go after if anything.
· I wouldn’t mind wearing my glasses more if the frames were wider and they changed in the sun so I wasn’t blinded when I went outside.
· I am not only a perfectionist to a fault (where I talk myself out of things, or rush them if I know it can’t be perfect) I also have an addictive personality.
· Alcohols taste gross to me, and in general I’d rather have a Rockstar’s energy drink or some Berry or Apple Sparkling Cider.
· I’m really interested in how the human body works and while the site of organs is disgusting, my curiosity usual out wins my disgust. Though I can’t stand the sound of breaking bone (when they show the plastic surgeon breaking the nose on the lady getting a nose job with a hammer I cringe. It’s like nails on a chalk board to me.)
· I am 23 years old and I have never, slow danced, dated, kissed, or had sex with a guy (or anyone) and I’m ok with that, most of the time.
Thank you For reading.
I feel the same way about a lot of the things you mentioned.
ReplyDelete1)The fear of becoming one of those heavy people on t.v. I think because I have let myself get to a point now that I think I used to swear I would never get to. It scares me a lot.
2)I'm the same way with sleeping as you! I can never fall asleep at night and even when I do I could sleep all day it seems come morning. I also consider myself a night owl but one of my favorite things in the world is that early morning time. (when I'm awake on the rare occasion) I love the crisp air and just the overall feeling of being up. So why do I feel like I need to be a night owl? It's a mystery to me.
3)I am also a perfectionist to a fault. I often give up on things I don't think I will do perfect (perfect in my eyes anyway) I kind of hate that about myself but I think in a way its a good quality to have in some things.
4)I love the arts too! I want to study and learn them all (only problem is my naggy perfectionist side doesn't think I can do it so I just don't for fear that I will fail.
Anyway these are just a few of the things I feel the same way about. (there were a lot up there I feel too) I think we are a lot a like in a lot of ways and I think that's definitely why you are one of my favorite people even though we rarely get to hang out and see each other. I just feel this connection with you and I actually admire you in a lot of ways. I consider you a fascinating person. I really do! This post was just wonderful because I got to learn even more about you. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for your comment!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree w/ number 1 on your list it scares me because even though I know I've lost and kept off 50lbs it was so easy to put that plus another almost 100 lbs on, its would be so easy to become like those people on tv if it I let it and my mobility is something I could never give up.
The sleeping thing is annoying huh! I try to use melatonin when I know I need to be asleep quick/early and it helps be I feel almost even more groggy and sleeping in the morning if I dont let it totally work for a full eight hours before getting up. ANd yes on the early morning crips air and etc. haha we are odd birds and maybe need to get into a better sleeping pattern. (I gotta say no matter when I go to bed though if I have to be up at 8 or early I need that cup of joe, the warmth helps me more than the caffine I think.)
I am totally the same in being a perfectonist, I just dont plan things sometimes because if I dont than they can't fail. Though I never saw that as being a perfectionist till a couple years ago actually.
Don't let your fear of failure stop you from creating, your little craft project and blog is so inspiring and cute and you created that. Let yourself just explore your creativity even if its something you just do in a journal and keep to yourself.
I'm glad we share these things, its always nice to know your not alone in your little quirks haha. ANd I totally get the connection and wish we could hang out more, I had a blast the last time we did and wish it wasnt so hard.
And awe thank you so much I dont think anyone has every told me they admire me let alone find me fascinating as well! Your a cool chica and I totally felt like you and your husbands realtionship is something I need to make sure I model my future one after, its the one I've seen that truly makes me hope and believe in that for myself along the road in my life. :)
And thank you for sharing your stuff on your blog, I hope things work out all right no matter what your going through!
