Love, Life, and the Pursuit of Happiness

What is a girl to do in a world full of readily available adventure? For a while there I tried hard to find "the right guy for me." Little did I know this would be a nearly impossible task as well as it would prove to be something I am not ready to do. In my short life I have found that there are thing that I do that make me happy and that these things are things I should do as often as possible.Some of these things include traveling, doing service work, hot baths with hot tea and a good book, writing, running, water skiing, picking fresh flowers, gardening... The list goes on and on. These things are things I love to do, every time i do them I find myself smiling. Now, why would one want to jeopardize ones happiness for a man? For someone who wants all of you,which is not bad, just not what I need right now. Youre right, no one would do that. So, for now, until one comes and sweeps me off my feet and makes my happiness their business, I will continue traveling, writing and taking hot baths all by myself.

Live Laugh Love

Life has been given to you, don't take it.

Laugh at everything, even yourself.

Love is what you are given, and your most valuable gift.

So, Live, Laugh, and Love with all your being.

Beautiful People

It has been a long time since I have posted something but this will have to do for now :) Found this today and thought it was exactly right!

Hey You

Cover Me

Cover me in your love
Allow me to enter into your wonderings and ask me all you want to know...
All you need to know.


About who I am, what I want.. and need.
Don't get anxious when you ask me how I am and I don't respond
... wait
It will come.
Be silent and let me talk.


When I hesitate to answer... answer things about my past
... wait
Be patient. Love me.


When I ell you to stop... listen.
You do not know why I am apprehensive and uncomfortable.
But you will just give me time.


Let me be me...
Uncomfortable at times
Slightly abrasive and confusing.
Abused and confused.
... just wait 
I will change.


I will make sense.
My ramblings will come full circle and you will know me.
... then, and only then, 
I will love you.

“A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.” ~Elizabeth Gilbert
