You know you're thinking in the right direction and doing the right thing if you are finding it very hard to come to terms with or deal with. Not because you are doing it for the wrong reasons... But for the fact that you are doing it for the right reasons, and probably putting a rock on your heart and doing it for the good of everyone involved... :)
If you love something or someone with all your might, you have to let it go. If it is meant for you, it will make its way back to you through thick and thin and there is NOTHING that can stop it. However, you have to make life for yourself and others around you simple, happy and full of love and compassion and care... Take steps towards it! :) Help people understand their true wants and desires!
I'm going to sign off with just a few quotes a friend has been making or finding which have been hitting a cord! :)
"We all sometimes believe that falling in love is the greatest feeling anyone could wish for, but I realize that there is no better feeling than finding the right one at the right time..."
"When I decide not to think of you, is exactly when everything reminds me of you!"
"One of the worst feelings in life is holding onto something you know you need to let go of."

*sigh* ... happy thoughts and smiles
So, here's the thing. I don't know what it is about the weather and the surroundings lately, nothing seems to keep me low! :) If there are negative thoughts or sad thoughts, I always seem to see the light of day. Whether it is the presence of new thoughts in my mind, or just a better place I see myself in, now and in the future. Whatever it is, is helping me stay happy and remain positive! :)
Songs make sense, I'm being more patient and just knowing that I'm not giving up on what I want somehow makes me be able to manage life better. Sure this is a new feeling, amongst other things I have been feeling, and I am bound to make some mistakes, but I'm sure that everything is on track and will sort itself out in time! :)
My faith is stronger than that and the fact that I'm sure and clear on certain things that I want, it makes me that much more comfortable and happy.
So ya, happy thoughts, happy smiles and happy vibes! :) loving the space! :)

Midnight scribbles... :)
One of those days when there is just so much going on in my mind! :)
But the best part about it is, that me being in a happy and peaceful place with myself just helps me to look at things so much better. I really do feel blessed at times to have the thought process that I have. I have friends who make fun of me and tell me to act my age and not be ahead of my times, but I don't let that bother me. I can surly behave the same way other people at my age would normally behave, but I have been blessed enough to have been given evolved thoughts, to see a larger picture, a better picture. I chose to take the more evolved thoughts/actions instead of doing what other people do at my age. I learn from other people's mistakes and learn from their learnings too! (As much as I can! I must admit it is hard!) There are times when I pick up the negative qualities of those around me too. However, once I identify them, I am aware of them, I do what I have to do to bring myself back on course.
As for those who tell me to act my age and doubt my thought process, well, they all know that I am right, and that is what probably scares them and probes them to tell me what they do.
I have lived my life, made the most of it all, had fun, done what I wanted to do, MY way and at an early age have been fortunate to have had enough and more experiences to make me who I am today. I can chose to act like a frivolous bimbo, or be the way I am. I chose to be the way I am. I live by a few things. I make sure my conscience is clear every night I sleep. At the end of the day you have to answer to yourself and the lord above. Also, I never have regrets in my life. I recently saw something which I agree with. Never have regrets, because at some point or the other you wanted to do what you might be regretting at that moment. Never look back and regret any experience you might have had. Cherish it and learn from it, to make you a better and stronger person.
I am also asked and questioned about my feelings and how sure of them I might be. How do you explain to someone how you feel? And once you do, how do you make sure they understand how true your feelings really are? How do you make them see the purity of intent, and earnest emotions? How do you make them feel what you feel? There is no real answer for these questions you see. There is a saying which goes something like, you can only take the horse to the pond, but cannot make it drink the water. Others have their perceptions... I don't expect anyone to know, understand, believe or anything of what I'm feeling. All I can do is be true to myself and the others. The rest is up to them. :)
At the end of the day, it boils down to what I have been saying for a while now. There is always two ways of looking at a situation. Sometimes more than two ways.
You can chose to be cynical, pessimistic, doubtful etc etc... OR do it my way. Be hopeful, be happy, dream big, feel and acknowledge every emotion that passes through you and give it its proper due. :)
Be the better person, do the right thing, go after true and earnest emotions and don't question things that come your way. You will get answers in time. You never know what you're pushing away or bringing closer when you're living through times that do not make sense to you. :) Just be happy! Keep the faith and NEVER loose hope! And trust in the lord above to always guide you and keep you on the right path! :)
Okay, that's enough for one night! Shall leave you with a quote I came across.
"Your story may not have a happy beginning, but the rest of your story is who you chose to be!"
Guess where that quote came from! ;)

Reality Bites? Chose the way you look at it!
Yes... we all have dreams and hopes and wants and wishes. But sometimes is life is hard and has a funny way of throwing strange things our way. We think we want certain things until reality hits one day and we realise that maybe we've been off course. To try and bring things back on the right course, we have to go through hell to set things straight. Truth of the matter is, the right way is always the harder way. The wrong way is the easier way. The way one can just escape to make things momentarily better. But to look in the long run, and know that we're not doing anything wrong and not messing with the bigger picture, we need to set things right NOW. And sure as hell, setting things right IS reality and man does it bite most times. The strength one gets from their hopes and dreams can get sapped in a second from when we are going through the hell of dealing with and sorting out our current reality. But have faith in yourself, your hopes, dreams, desires and the fact that the lord above is watching. When you know you are doing the right things, nothing else matter.
Reality bites, sure as hell, you got that right! But its how we look at it and approach the situation at hand post that. Do we fight it with a smile since we know that we are on the right path? Do we fight it and get irritated and give in half way? Or do we get cynical about life in general just because we can't fathom why we have to go through this? Or we end up behaving like the people involved around us?
There are a gazillion ways to look at this! At the end of the day, the choice is ours and ours alone. I have been fortunate enough to go through some situations in my current past which have taught me a HELL OF A LOT! I've had my weak moments, believe me, at other people's expense that too! But luckily, in a short span of time, I've been smart enough to know that I need to see the larger picture. Everything one goes through is for a reason, and we need to take things head on. I can chose to be a rotten tomato about it and make my life a living emotional hell and the people involved in my life closely currently. Or, I chose to know that my wants, desires, feelings are true and pure. There is nothing that should make me question true and earnest feelings! Know and have faith that things will work out for the better and to what I want in the long run. And go on living happily and being there for the important ones in my life. Yes there will be hard and testing times... Do I chose to be cynical about it and life there after? I can, however I chose my approach.
You sure you've picked the right one? Make sure you don't give yourself too much grief. Specially when you know you're on the right path.
I was recently told, "Life and love are funny. They can take you so high and drop you on your ass as well. But hey, Loving is Living and you gotta Live!"
Enjoy every minute of it... Good, bad and ugly. I know its easier said than done... But give it a shot why dontchya! :)

Instant uplifts...
Painting, listening to music, writing, baking, driving and talking to some people who get you at a different level are a few things that are instant uplifts for me!
Painting, it has been something in my life that has instantly transported me to another world altogether. I can get so lost in the painting that I have no idea of the time, the place anything. It just keeps me really really happy. Away from the world and in my happy places!
Listening to music is another! Makes me disconnect from the world and be in the world of the songs. There are different ways of being lost in music. Each song has a different chord that it touches. And lately, all the songs make sense too... LOL, you know what they say when that happens right?
Writing is an instant release for me. The second I get writing I feel a whole lot better. It helps me put my thoughts down and makes me see things in a different light from time to time.
Baking is like therapy. Making sure you have the right ingredients, mixing and making the batter in a methodical manner, making sure you've baked long enough yet, not too long for it to burn. And the end result... sigh! Enjoying something heavenly, and even better, watching others enjoy something you've made with your own hands! :)
Driving... Driving aimlessly is just one of those things to do which give you the time and space to be with yourself and your thoughts. It has a calming affect on me. I know that driving around can calm my mind and let me bring my temper down. (which I do most of the time)
Last but not the least, talking to some people who know you and love you for who you are. No judgement, no external thoughts, no nothing! They see you as you are and how their faith in you can make you feel like the world isn't such a bad place after all! Actually reminds you of how good the world really is. Enjoy the simple things! Remind you to make the most of what you have and appreciate it all!
Anyhow, just a few things that have been on my mind so putting them down. Also, playing in my head is the sound of music song, 'My favourite things' :) I had a post which I had written to the same song, so this time, just writing my thoughts and not another version of the song! ;)

Something good from Something complex
There are times in our lives where we are stuck in a situation which always manages to make us question the good things around us. The purity of intent, the truth in our emotions, our earnest efforts to make something worth while. We may believe at some level, but if we are not strong enough in our minds and hearts, we can be a little lose in our stand at some points.
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately on similar lines. I got an email recently which shook me a little the first time I read it. Also because I was in the frame of not being able to see what is good and true as compared to what isn't! Having read that when I was calmer, I realised it didn't have the same affect. I am stronger than that! :) I have looked around in my life, and now I've made a choice, to be happy, to accept and not question the purity of intent (in my actions, words and thoughts) and will stand by and make earnest efforts to know that I'm doing everything I can to make something worth while.
This is what I want... I don't expect others to want the same thing, right? :) I will do my bit and be there through good and bad. Let us see how it turns out. I for one am sure that the truth in emotions, and the honesty in our hearts will always win over anything else. My hope and faith is what I have lived by all my life, and when I look back, there were times when I was so sure of somethings in life where the world was standing up against me... I always got what I wanted. My feelings and wants were true and right. That always wins the way I look back at it!
So, point being, I've at some level begun a new phase in life and have realised that there is no need for me to question it negatively, no need for me to worry about it. I need to be looking at it with all smiles and happiness and that is exactly what I am going to do.
I'm in the mood to leave a random line from a song I love and which has a whole new meaning for me now... :) SO that is how I'll end this one...
"... Waiting on the lines of greens and blues... Just to be the next..."

Our paths and everything on the way
If we knew how our life was going to pan out, then there really would not be any point in living through right? Its the unexpected things that come our way that teach us so many things about how to live, react, behave etc etc.
We can wish for certain things, we want our lives to be a certain way, we are hopeful of our dreams and try to work towards what we want. But what happens when things don't go as planned? Do you freak out and run away or handle things in the most hap hazard manner ever, or calm yourself, think it through and try and find the best possible solution for the event/events? Try and see how you can make it a positive learning or event instead of a negative one. The choice is up to us. It truly is based on what we really want at some level in our hearts.
You know that quote, "life is what happens when we're busy planning it" or something to that extent. You know what, its true. We can plan all we want, but we have something written for us, and that will happen. We have to be gracious enough and open enough to accept everything that comes our way. Our paths in life are defined to a large extent, and even the people around us are there for many a reason. The people who do not question why, and go about doing and accepting things/life in a certain manner, are far ahead of those who question 'why'. That is an answer we never have.
Anyhow, the point being, one must be be open to what life has to offer. Good, bad or anything. Learn from everything and everyone around you. Take in people's good, leave out the bad. Try to be true to yourself and your feelings! :)

Faith
Okay, I have to admit... There are some times when you feel like the world is colliding... But... for those who have faith, the world seems likes a better place... and I, today, can say, that my faith is greater than all!
No matter what... I know what I want, I see what I want, and my faith is so strong that I know that I will get what I want. I keep putting myself up for a test every now and again, everyone does that at some point or another. But I am sure of the fact today, that my faith is greater than all. I know that what I want, and I will get, no matter what the world thinks of it. Good, pure and true feelings and thoughts always come through. And if you want something, from the bottom of your heart with all pure intentions, you will get it.
I will be patient, and be calm and not let anything bother me... because today showed me the light. I am stronger than what I think I am, MY wants and desires are pure in intent and will come my way ... one way or another.
My faith is doubled and I am sure, that my thinking will bring me nothing but the best and what I truly want.
Thank you lord for showing me the way. :) You give me the strength and the serenity. I cannot ask for more. Just be there to guide me, through the good times and the rough ones! :)
With all my heart, soul and might!
