Lost? (Yes, I'm kind of thinking of Coldplay)

I just want to stop feeling lost already. It's driving me nuts.

A feeling of hope...

I feel a sense of euphoria this afternoon. More like hope...that things are going to get better. I'm going to find myself in a better place in my life, and that I'm going to do a lot of positive learning.

It's been SO long since I've felt anything like this before. I'm going to hold on to it while it lasts.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

In terms of the title of this post, I fear that many do not listen to this enough. I feel like society is WAY TOO ENGROSSED in DETAILS, that it drives me nuts!!!!! Sometimes you just gotta say f*ck it to rules, and regulating things and just freaking out over things that aren't perfect. There is so much more to life than all of that.

I wish more people stopped what they were doing, and looked at all of the beauty around them, and worked even more towards how to create more of it by helping one another.

More thoughts on this subject later.

Oh what to do...

Actual goals haven't been met just yet. It's frustrating.

Some goals have been achieved, like reading Into the Wild. Definitely a book that fits the wanderlust funk I've been in for so long.

An inexplicable feeling of yearning and curiosity among other things...

I have a bad case of wanderlust. Really bad. It's been an on and off "craving" or "need" that I've had since last summer. Ugh.

I'm not sure what I should be doing about it (or at least I think do, but I don't want to talk about it here ahha).

I just wish that people could see that these small things in life that we busy ourselves with, don't matter in the big picture and that so many of us are missing out on so many things happening around us.

I'm not sure if any of that made sense...it probably will when I look back on this in a few months.

A thought.

I hate stupid b.s.

Stick it to the man.

I know what this is about.

I can totally related to this Postsecret postcard.

Should I cite the Wilson Philips song now or later?

Later.

Watch this! It'll brighten your day. It did mine (from a crappy one this evening).

My coming of age saga continues...

I love it when I can relate to items on Postsecret.


I'm definitely feeling this item. I can't say that I'm there yet...but I'm close.

Let's begin.

We cleaned the windows in the house today. These windows were recently replaced within this past decade so it's practically plastic. We pulled them apart, wiped all of the dirt away and then put them back in their place.

There was something slightly comforting about the entire activity. When the window was removed (screen included), it left the house with a gaping open entry between outside and inside. It was reminiscent of being in the Philippines, where there are no screens on windows in the houses in my mom and dad's respective neighborhoods. Only bars so you can't just break in or climb in I suppose. You don't need to slide the window open over there; it serves no purpose. The climate is different.

It made it easier for people to communicate with those open windows. We could talk to each other, one person inside and one outside of the house. We could summon each other without yelling twenty times over throughout the house by simply yelling at least once or twice since you could hear them through the open windows.

In any case, it was reminiscent of a time when things were so easy going and carefree. So many things big and small didn't seem to matter. They all escaped through the window.

The windows are back up in the house now (obviously at this time of "day"), and those stupid everyday worries are starting to rush back in. They're trapped in the same room with me and I need to get some air.

I need something in my life that never fails to blow a gentle breeze my way that reminds me that calm exists and it's beautiful.
