Your own world. . .

"If I had my own world, I'd love it for all that's inside it"

Lately I have been sketching. . . LIKE CRAZY! For some reason I can't put my pencil down.  I found out something about myself that I didn't know and I am creating new things.  Love yourself for who you are. Yes, someone may be a better artist, singer, dancer, or musician.  BIG DEAL, get over it. Don't ever get discouraged, because no one is better than you. They may be talented but so are you. Go for what you have always dreamed of.  Shoot for the stars! Seriously, there is a whole world out there for us to discover and the sky is the limit (Unless you want to be an astronaut and so, you know) What is stopping you from reaching your goals? Who is stopping you from reaching your goals? You can't blame anyone but yourself.

Finding Neverland

I was watching Peter Pan recently and wanted to change the theme of my blog.  Neverland is a fantastical place where Peter Pan and the Lost Boys never grow up.  They battle the infamous Captain Hook and have fun.  They don't care what they do, just as long as they are having fun :) I wish the world was like that only a little different.  I have found my Neverland.  I found my own style, I walk to the beat of my own drum, and I don't care what people think.  I'm not saying I will never grow up, I'm saying. . . . .there comes a point where you want to escape from the world.  A point where you want to fight pirates and chase fairies. . . a point where all you want to do is a take a breather from the world and laugh, smile.  If there is something that you enjoy, or something that helps you be YOU, go for it! Walk down the streets and trust me, "Heads will roll."

Fairy Tales vs. Real Life

I don't believe in fairy tales, but I believe in you and me.

This can be looked at both ways, as pessimistic or optimistic.  Yes, sometimes when you have people that you "believe" in, it may seem like a fairy tale.  But life is messy, life is full of unexpected turns and thematic elements.  Don't always expect a Knight in shining Armor to come in on his White Horse and ride off into the sunset with you.  Expect something real, something...........BETTER.  Have you ever heard of what happens after the "and they lived happily ever after"? No one wants to be stuck in one moment for the rest of their lives, they want to see where it goes. They want to have that moment now where they say, "50 years from now we will still be talking about this." And then 50 years later, that moment will happen.

It's good to hope and its good to dream, but life will never be as it may seem :)

99 red balloons

You've heard the words unique, different, one of kind, and even one in a million.  But something you fail to notice or something people don't say much any more is RETRO.  You can make this word your own, give it a personalized meaning.  This words represents me best because it combines all those words and helps me embrace who I am and the world around me.  My new phrase "That's totally retro!" Take it as a compliment or empowerment.  Your RETRO and you know it! The song 99 balloons by Blondie (I love her now) is my inspiration for my motto "16 and totally RETRO!" I'm gonna bring in the New Year with a new attitude.  Someone said "New Years resolutions are not the way to change your life" and this is true, but you can always begin with a new attitude.  Find a song, poem, ANYTHING! To represent you :P



Make life an awakened realization of who you are.
