When I wrote of disappearing, I meant what I said. But as I read that quote, I discovered I did/do truly want to be found. I want someone to acknowledge and be impacted by my light. I want someone to profess their love and daringly sit beside me through the unknown – whether it is a moment, a day, a year, or even an eternity, I want to feel that burst of exuberant joy in my chest. I want that for myself, to feel like my actions do not go unnoticed. I’ve spoken a lot about love through my posts – the love I have for myself, the food on my plate, the animals all around me. I’ve spoken of love never found, love lost, and hopeful love. I’m not afraid to want love. I’m not afraid of being found. I’m afraid of disappearing without being found, without being loved. Yes, there are seconds, moments and days even, where I disappear. But those seconds and moments will not be an eternity. One day, I will be found... [keep reading]

Never Stop Dreaming || 1.26.15

|| Even When You're Feeling Low, Dream. ||

I really love this quote. It reminds me how wild my imagination goes when I'm feeling down. Sometimes I dream about love, sometimes my future career, and sometimes art, but my mind always circles around and around with ideas -- even if I am feeling too down to do anything. That's okay though. Sometimes, the dream is what matters most. Because on the days where I feel good, that's when I'm so glad that I had those dreams, because I finally have the energy to put them to action. So, even when you're feeling low, dream. Whatever happens, never stop dreaming and imagining and hoping for the best outcome life has to offer, because it will be there one day.

How was your weekend? Anything exciting happen? What are you looking forward to this week?

||GRATITUDE||

I am grateful for imagination.

I am grateful for my bed and it's coziness.

I am grateful for the understanding and compassionate people I surround myself with.

I am grateful for life and love.

What are you grateful for?

Never Too Late for Links || 1.25.15

|| Woah. ||

Where did the weekend go? I basically blinked on Friday, and here I am and it's Sunday. I'm realizing how far behind I could be, how I've neglected my readers, how I've fallen off my spontaneity wagon. Ugh. Pros for the week: balancing my schedule, working on being efficient, eating awesome meals in my room, finding time to exercise, catching up with friends. I'm trying to remind myself that I must be positive to succeed. Oh positivity. Where are you?
