Tribes

I belong to the tribe of awkward white girls. To the tribe of oboists and the (tiny but mighty) tribe of mellophone players. I belong to the tribe of internet addicts and that of the anti-socials. To the tribe of tea enthusiasts and to the tribe of the amazingly sexy Matthew Gray Gubler. I belong to the tribe of literature lovers and the fried calamari devourers and the tribe of the future crazy cat ladies. I belong to the tribe of rude, opinionated young women who prefer not to shave (waste of time, especially in the winter.). and i belong to the tribe of comfortable t-shirts and old shoes.

extroverts v. introverts

i think that neither extroverts nor introverts have it easier in life. everyone's experiences are different. If everyone was an extrovert, I think there would be much more competition, brutal honesty, and the need for adventure. If everyone was a introvert, things would be quieter... in a way (am lacking better words). Most folks would be a lot more chill. I think extroverts make better leaders, because they are more confident. I think writers are more introverted, because writing takes time, creativity, and lots and lots of thought. I can't really answer the questions about neighbors and teachers, because that is a very relative opinion. Different people have different traits that work for them. In my friends, I really don't care if they're introverted or extroverted, because I see myself as equally both and I really just want to be accepted and for my friends to actually like me and stand by my side. I think that introversion and extroversion do matter some, but you can probably get along in life without worrying about it.

Life Law 10= You Have To Name It Before You Claim It.

The road I am on is unique to me. My path does have several obstacles, and those obstacles will change as I grow as a person. Other than that, my road is quite smooth. I've got a loving home, good friends, and solid ground beneath my feet. I, like many other people, am faced with choices, like the traveler in the Frost poem. The traveler is faced with two choices: the well-traveled, non-threatening path, or the path less traveled, an unknown journey. To be successful and live a full life, I would choose the way less traveled, and make new experiences for myself. The people traveling with me have roads that run alongside mine. Some of these roads diverge from my own and others stick close by, and these are the people I am close to, the ones I look to for support. At the end of my road, I want a family, a career, and a home that I can support. I can ensure my success by going my own way and not stopping and not risking my position. I can avoid my roadblocks by being self-confident and hard-working and push my depressed feelings and self-consciousness aside. I can make my future my own, and I can choose the road less traveled, not follow the pack and be my own individual person.

FORGIVENESS

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.  ~Paul Boese


Forgiveness is a thing that can lead to a better future. It's true, the past has no way of changing (unless you've gone back to the future), but forgiving those who have hurt you and attempting to mend your heart and your mind is the best thing to do. Forgiving people is the best direction to go, because you can try to forget what happened and move to bigger and definitely better things. Forgiveness will open doors to a new path, therefore leading to a new future, even if that future ends up involving the person/ people you forgave. Forgiveness is like laughter, it's a natural medicine that can make everything brighter, even if it's difficult to proceed at first.

Thought of the Day

Life is the one thing we ultimately perceive, and we all perceive it differently. Perception makes our lives unique, and the way we perceive can make it either enjoyable, or not so. Life is a blank slate that you carve with your thoughts, experiences, memories, and the way you paint it all in your mind will make it different than anybody's.

Thought for the Day

Taking action will get you places in life. Without action, you're going to end up as a lump who doesn't amount to anything in life. Action will be rewarded, because once you step up and take a chance, good things can happen.
