War

Sirens are going off all over. Bullets are flying everywhere. The town that you once knew is now in ruins. Out of the corner of your eye, you see a mother crying over her dead son. You see a man carrying his wife out of the rubble. You see a mass of people all running around as if they had no idea what to do. You can't help but stand there and stare. Stare at their sadness in hope that all of this would go away. Stare at the pain that they are going through realizing that all this pain would go away if we just learned to get along.

As you stare into all the sadness, you hear a faint yell coming from behind you. "Run!" You bolt away as fast as you can without a second thought. Moments later you are tossed forward, screaming in pain and out of all of that noise, the only thing that you could hear was the shrieking high pitched ring followed by thundering boom of your heart beat coursing through your head. You try to sit back up, but the pain hurts too much. You look behind you. Everyone is gone. The mother who was crying over her son. The man who was carrying his wife. All who struggled to survive, now gone. You stare deeper into the sadness, wishing for all of this to stop, knowing that all of this would go away if we just learned to get along.

"They're coming," you realized. In the heat of the moment, you manage to get up and run. You try your best to ignore the pain, knowing that this was life or death. You limp onward telling yourself that you must keep going, that you must keep on living. You hear the footsteps getting closer to you. You run faster, but no matter how much faster you limp your way to safety, the sound of fear of everyone you once knew draws closer and closer. At the end of the alley way a dark figure appears before you. You stop in fear, knowing that you can't turn back. Those footsteps that were once chasing you, have finally came. It's too late now. You're surrounded, with no way out. You think to yourself, that all of this would go away if we just learned to get along but before you're even able to finish that thought, a loud boom is heard and suddenly, your world goes dark.

Important Message

If you notice that there are large amounts of space at the top and side of the page, just ignore that for now. It will soon go away... I hope. I've recently started working with Google Adsense so for a while there will be blank spots that don't belong until my application gets fully reviewed and approved. But in the mean time, please continue to share any content on this page! And enjoy a gif image of my rainbow fan.


Update!: Those blank spots should be gone by now:)

Merry Christmas!


Wait... It's Christmas already? Where did all that time go? I Feel like 2014 just started not that long ago. Well I hope all that last minute shopping was worth it because today is the day! A day filled with holiday advertisements, being around family members you don't like, arguments, consumerism, jealousy because Jimmy got the better toy, money, and crying from the lack of money! What a joyful day isn't it? Oh wait... let me try that again...

Merry Christmas! A day of Love and Joy spent well with family and friends! A day of giving and sharing! A day... that is...Well that failed.

I forgot how much I don't like shopping until I did some Christmas shopping this year. Trying to figure out what to get other people can be quite the difficult challenge. #TheStruggleIsReal. My Little Pony will forever be stuck in my head.

Today is also the day when people get into arguments about what's the "proper" way to say "Merry Christmas." Pfft. Please. That don't matter.

Today is also the day when people cook delicious food. I like food.

Fact #666: This is not a serious post so if you were expecting one, please mix more bourbon with that eggnog.

Basic bitches are a real thing and come out of their caves every holiday. You've probably ran into a lot of them already. You probably are one.

Kids, if you notice that Santa's handwriting is the same as your parents, there's a reason for that. No, your parents are not Santa Clause so stop thinking that right now.

There are more Christmas movies out there than there are of cookies inside of Santa.

Pets, remember that the Christmas tree is not a toy for you to play with.

Make sure you make it on the naughty list.

Remember that it's all about the gifts. If you get a gift that you don't like, throw a big tantrum, be selfish, and demand that you get what you want.

I lied. Don't really do that.

When planning for your new years resolution, make sure you actually plan to go through with them this time around.

For you stoners out there. Make sure that your dinner falls right after 4:20. And don't get caught by family members. Or cops.

Go play in the snow. If there is any. For you people in the desert, go play in the sand.

If it's yellow, eat it.

Try not to spend your Christmas money all at once.

Have a Merry Happy Hanukwanzaa!

The Mind of an Introvert and an Extrovert

A few days ago I made a post about personality types(What Type of Personality Do You Have?), and I figured, why not keep going? I've noticed a lot of people usually sway between being an extrovert and an introvert. What is an into/extro-vert you ask? Well, good question! Obviously as you read from my previous post, whether or not you are one of the two, is determined by where most of your focus is. Are you more outwardly focused or are you more inwardly focused? Now, this isn't dead set. You can change sides depending on the situation and what mood you are in. Everyone is a mix of both. No one is 100% one or the other. However, usually people are more of one, than they are the other.

When you go to a party or some sort of social event and you see those people who sit off to the side away from the big crowds? Yeah, those are the introverts. Introverts can't handle too much stimulus. Being around a large number of people can be too much for their brains to deal with. They would rather sit at home and read a book or play a video game than go out and socialize with a bunch of people. Introverts are happy with just a few close friends. But even after spending time with those few close friends, they always need time to themselves to recharge. Unlike their counterpart, spending time by themselves is how introverts recharge. Since being around people can be too much for them, they need to take time for themselves to level back out.

Introverts have a tendency to be very reserved and to themselves, but don't mistaken this as shyness. Extroverts can be just as shy as an introvert. A lot of people misinterpret an introvert to be shy because they have seemingly similar qualities to a shy person, but it doesn't always mean that they are. Most of the time, they just prefer to stay quiet and observe things rather than talk and be active.

Don't ever underestimate a quiet introvert. They are big thinkers. They might not be the do'ers, but underneath that calm and quiet exterior, their mind is cluttered worse than your bedroom.


You know those other people the parties who go out of there way to talk to as many people as they can? Pretty much the exact opposite of the introverted ones who sit on the side? Yeah, those are the extroverts. They are the life of the party. Unlike the introvert, extroverts do not mind being the center of attention. They absolutely love socializing. Extroverts need a lot more stimulus than their counterpart, so they are always in need of a changing environment. Have you ever met someone that constantly changes their room around all the time? That would be their extrovert quality.

Extroverts aren't as big as thinkers as introverts, so usually when an extrovert needs to discuss something(or do something), they go to others for that help.

Instead of drawing energy from themselves, extroverts get energy by being around others. Since their brain isn't as stimulated as their counterpart, they need to do more physical activities in order for them to reach that "normal" level.

What really makes an introvert an introvert and an extrovert and extrovert, is the way their brain is wired. It has a lot to deal with the reward system. Extroverts are usually more daring and adventurous because their brains are wired to constantly reward them with new experiences, to where as an introvert is usually happy and feels more rewarded with what they already have.

As I said before, no one is 100% extrovert or introvert. Everyone is a mix of both. I know that I'm definitely more of an introvert but I have noticed a lot of extrovert qualities in me also. You'll probably notice the same thing about yourself. But anyways, I hope you guys learned a little something here. I know sometimes there's a lot of misunderstandings between extroverts and introverts because of how different they are.

Thanks for reading! I love you all. Namasté <3

What Type of Personality Do You Have?

I remember back during my twelfth grade year when we were all trying to figure out what we wanted to do with our lives, we had to do this career project, and for part of the project we had to take the Myers-Briggs personality quiz. For those of you who don't know what this is, it was a way for women, during WWII, who were just getting into the workforce, to figure out what jobs best suited them. Now, it has become a way for everyone to either figure out what careers they want to get into or if they just want to get to know themselves better. Anyways, at the time, I didn't really pay attention to my results because I wasn't really as interested then, but recently I've taken the quiz again and it's a little scary on how spot on it is.

Carl Gustuv Jung was the first to theorize that how we experience the world can be broken up into four categories: Sensing, Intuition, Feeling, and Thinking. But this was back in the 1920s. It wasn't until twenty years later, Katherine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers, created the personality test for women for the war. There are four opposite pairs, so in total, based on this test, there are 16 personality types. Your personality type depends on which of the two opposite means of experiencing the world, you go by.

1. Are  you outwardly or inwardly focused? (E/I)
Are you an extrovert or and introvert? Can you be described as talkative and outgoing or are you more reserved and private? Do you enjoy being the center of attention or do you prefer to just observe and stay to the side away from the attention?

2. How do you prefer to take in information? (S/N)
Do you prefer to use your senses or do you prefer to go by your intuition? Do you like to pay attention to concrete facts or do you prefer to look at the bigger picture and see how everything connects? Do you prefer ideas that have practical applications or do you enjoy ideas and concepts for their own sake? Do you like to focus on the reality of how things are or do you like to imagine the possibility of how things could be?

3. How do you prefer to make decisions? (T/F)
Do you prefer thinking or feeling? Do you make decisions using logical reasoning or do you make your decisions based on your values and how your actions affect others? Do you value justice and fairness or do you value harmony and forgiveness? Are you described as reasonable and level-headed or are you described as warm and empathetic?

4. How do you prefer to live your outer life? (J/P)
Do you prefer judging or do you prefer perceiving? Do you prefer to have matters settled or do you like to keep your options open? Do you think that rules and deadlines should be respected or do you see rules and deadlines as flexible? Do you like to make plans ahead of time or are you spontaneous and enjoy surprises?

If you wish to take the actual test and get more in depth information, there are sites that offer the test for free:
http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp

No personality is any better than the rest. Each one has something valuable to offer to. And if we can understand this, then we won't be so quick to judge someone based on their personality.

I'm an INFP personality type. So I'm an Introvert that likes to take in information with my iNtuition. When I make decisions, I base it on how I Feel and how others Feel. And I like to Perceive many possibilities.

Obviously your personality type is much more complex than just what information I gave you, but I'll leave the rest of the research up to you. You'll probably learn things about yourself that you never knew before. After you take the test you'll probably be thinking to yourself "Someone finally understands me!" That's exactly how I felt when I took it.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed taking the test. I hope you learned something new.
I love you all! Namasté <3

Change

You might be thinking to yourself "Woah! What have you done to your page?" I know. I thought the same thing right before I decided to do this post. I always felt that my page need more to it, like more pizzazz, more creativity and character. I noticed when I was doing my last blog post The Future Of Us And Our Technology, I didn't have any of my own pictures, and it was kinda hard to find the right pictures using sites that offered free pictures because they didn't offer a whole lot. So I thought to myself, why not make my own?

Thankfully I found Canva, because making pictures and banners is much easier now with this site. I'm not really Photoshop, or even Paint smart at all so Canva made it a lot easier for this noob. I did make a new picture for, I think, a few of my most recent post. Plus... drum roll please... I made a new banner! I felt like the old style text based blogger banner was a little too bland so of course I had to add something there. I think it looks nice. The new pictures and banner didn't really match well with my old blog template/background so obviously I had to change that too. I also decided to add any picture I make for this blog to the "Images" tab at the top in case you wanted to take a look at those. This site is under a lot of construction as you can tell:P

Not only have I done all of this, I've also been publicizing my page to more social networking sites than what I originally did. By doing this, not only am I hoping to bring more people to my blog, but I'm hoping that the things that I talk about in my blog, helps bring change into peoples lives(positive change of course!). Maybe I try to offer a different mindset, or a different perspective on something, Or maybe I try to really make people think about a topic in ways they've never thought of before. Or maybe I write about something funny and turn your horrible day into something funny. I think change can be a really good thing if done right. Maybe this change in my blog will give people a different mood than what it did before? Who knows?

If things aren't working out the way you want them to, then I think change is definitely needed. Maybe you're sick of the job you're working at so you need a change in career. Maybe your house is falling apart so you need to move into a new one. Maybe your friends aren't treating you like a real friend should so you change the people you hang out with. Maybe you don't like the way your blog looks so you change it up a bit to make it look better. Maybe you've been depressed  your entire life and you always see the bad side to everything so you decide to change your outlook on life to make it a more positive experience. Whatever the case may be, if it is needed, then make a change. If you know things aren't working out the way it should, then there is need for a change. Change can be a good thing if done right, so don't ever be afraid of change. Embrace it. When change happens, you gain new experiences along the way. New experiences are good for soul;)

Anyways, enough of my rambling. I need to take a break from my computer. I have a lot of work to do for this page tomorrow. Oh! I have a favor to ask all of you. If there is any blog post that I make that you really like, please don't hesitate to hit the share button! I'd greatly appreciate it!:)

Thank you all! Namasté<3

The Future Of Us And Our Technology

As you're sitting there on your phones or computer reading this, I'm sure you've figured out by now that technology is a big part of our lives. And I mean BIG. We have machines that build things for us. We have access to all sorts of information at the tips of our fingers. We're even really starting to figure out artificial intelligence and incorporating that into our every day lives. We've even built robots that can talk back to us! If you think about it, just in the past 20 years, we have accomplished some crazy technological advances. It makes you wonder what our world is going to be like in the next 20 years. We'd probably achieve things that we can't even imagine now. I mean, 20 years ago I don't think anyone thought that we would have computers that fit into our pockets, technologies that provide an unlimited amount of energy, solar freakin' roadways, or even smart cars that can drive themselves. We've come quite a long way in just a few years.

So let's think about our future. At some point, there will probably be a time when technology does just about everything for us without the need for humans to run the technology itself. We're already getting pretty close to that as it is. So what exactly is the issue with this? Jobs. Jobs would be the issue. Obviously there would be need for people to do maintenance and repairs and whatever else but at the same time, since technology would be doing all of the hard work for us, there wouldn't really be a need for jobs anymore(or at least, not nearly as much).

Usually when people think about our future with technology, they think of the movie Wall-E when you see a bunch of fat people staring at TV screens, riding around on chairs. As funny as that is, I really hope humanity doesn't end up becoming like that. Personally, I don't really think we would end up becoming like that, even if technology ended up taking over our lives. Let's think back to our history. Any time we had big technological advances, people were left with more leisure time. More time to do the things they want to do. After we had the industrial revolution, suddenly music became this big industry, more people were getting into the arts, our culture became more creative and lively because we didn't have to spend so much time working. We had more time to be ourselves. I don't think having technology do everything for us would necessarily make us fat slobs. If it did, then humans are the dumb ones, not technology. Personally, I think if we had technology take our jobs, we would be left with so much free time, we'd actually have time to be ourselves and go out there, actually play, be free spirited, and be little kids again. We'd actually have time to focus on other important things, like our planet, and space, expressing our uniqueness, and further expanding the human consciousness. Who knows, we could even possibly meet other advanced life forms other than the ones here on earth. We could even finally create world peace!
"Alien Abduction" By Simon Howden FreeDigitalPhotos.net

I already see another problem with this though. Jobs are pretty much what makes our economy work, so if we had technology doing everything for us, what would we do with our economy? There wouldn't be any need for money to pay workers because technology would be doing it for us, so our economy wouldn't be able to progress further. So obviously our Capitalism wouldn't work well in a highly technological advanced society. What other options are there? I wouldn't be able to necessarily come up with a whole new system, but I do have one idea that could help this situation out. Get rid of money. If we got rid of those pieces of paper and came up with a new type of system, a system that works well with advancing technologies, maybe we could progress in our technologies faster and smoothly without having to worry about what it's going to do to our economy.
These are just my thoughts on this though. Maybe you guys have other ideas for all of this. If you do, I'd like to hear about them!

I think the future of humanity is a bright one. We're just going to have to go through some rough patches to get there.

I love you all. Namasté <3

Giving Back To The Community

Want to know what seems kinda strange? I feel as though I've learned more in the past year and a half, than I have ever learned in the twelve years that I went to school. Have you felt that way? Granted, I did learn a lot during my school years. Math, science and music were definitely my most favorite subjects, but what did I actually learn from those? A bunch of "stuff" that's for sure. But, my prime in learning wasn't until after I dropped out of college. I originally went in for music, but after the first month, I realized that normal schooling just wasn't for me and that I wasn't even really going into music for myself anyways. But it was from that moment on, my life journey finally began and I was reborn into something new. I've finally realized how to be my own person. I learned so much about myself that I've never realized before. I feel like I've finally become aware of myself and my surroundings. And truthfully, It's an amazing experience. This wasn't all on my own though. The internet has definitely had a huge impact on my life. I was so stuck trying to figure myself out, but with the help of the lovely people on the internet, I learned how to look within myself and tap into my soul. And just with this year an a half alone, I feel as though I went through an entire lifetime.

But now that I had all these new experiences and knowledge, what was I suppose to do with it? This is where the title of this post comes in. Knowledge is power, but if it just sits in your head as a thought, then that is all it's ever going to be. Once you take so much, there comes a time when you have to return the favor. You've taken all this knowledge and experience, and now it's time to give back to the community. 

This is why I blog. I've received so much in my life, that now I want to give back. I want to share my knowledge and experiences to the people who are in the positions I used to be in. I want to help. I want to make the world a better place for everyone.

If you think it is time for you to finally give back to the community, then my advise is to do so, with something that you love. Give back to the community by expressing your passion and uniqueness, whether its photography, painting, blogging, music, or whatever it is that you love. Our world needs more of that because I feel like a lot of people in this world aren't doing what they love. I love writing, so blogging is my way of giving back. The internet is a wonderful tool to connect with millions and millions of people around the world with so much information, so take advantage of that if you need to.

Our world needs more unique individuals. Be yourself. Be light. Just be. Share your love.
Thank you for listening to my ramble at the beginning of this post.
I love you all. Namasté <3


The Seven Deadly... Wait, What?

I'm pretty sure all of us are familiar with the 7 deadly sins. We've hear about them all the time in the media and religion. For those anime nerds like me, I'm sure you've heard of them in the famous Full Metal Alchemist series(Amazing show by the way!). But what are they exactly? Originally they were created as a way to label man's selfish ways. There use to be more, but over many revisions and changes, it's become the seven that we know of today.


Sloth- Avoiding spiritual or physical work. Usually these people are labeled as 'Lazy' or 'non-caring.' Think of the animal.

Greed- The desire for material wealth or gain. People who are labeled as greedy are the ones who do things for only person gain. Or they try to keep everything for themselves.

Anger/Wrath- I'm not even going to explain this one. The name alone speaks for itself.

Lust- Strong and plentiful cravings for the pleasure of the body. Sex. You could label Porn stars as being very lustful.

Gluttony- Consuming more than which is required. Usually people associate this with food, but there's more to it than just that.

Envy- The desire for other peoples' traits, abilities and status. Also known as jealousy.

Pride- excessive belief in one's own abilities. Also known as arrogance. Pride is known as the sin where all other sins come from. The very first sin.

Now you may be asking yourself "Why are you telling me this? Everyone knows about the deadly sins. What's the point in this post?" Well there is a point to this that I want to make. For the time period that this labeling system was made, I feel as though it worked well as a way to point out man's selfish desires, but that was then. I think this system is a little outdated.... Okay... I lied. It waayyyy outdated. I think we need to start looking at 'sins' in a different way.

Since Pride is the root of all sins, let's start with that then. There are two types of 'Pride.' There's Arrogance and then there's actual Pride. You might be looking at this and thinking "Aren't they the same thing?" Well, no they're not. If anything, they're kinda opposites. Where do you think arrogance comes from? One thing that I have noticed is that everyone I've met, that you could consider 'arrogant', all have one thing in common. They're all unhappy. Either they hate themselves, they've let themselves become so bitter and angry with the world around them, or they're stuck trying to chase happiness in their life by being addicted to pleasures. It's as if though they've become so unhappy with themselves or their situation, when someone does point something out to them, about them, they get really defensive, insecure, thick headed, and stubborn, and it comes out as being arrogant. They've become so insecure with themselves, they're afraid to admit and face their insecurities and flaws so they take it out on other people. That's what arrogance is. So then, what does it mean to be actually prideful? The main difference between being arrogant and pride, is where it comes from. Arrogance comes from the lack of love and happiness to where being prideful comes from love. When someone has actual pride, it's because, they've learned to accept and love themselves for who they are. That pride, comes from loving themselves. Most people view that as a bad thing because they end up mixing up arrogance and pride, but here's my argument against that. It's better to love yourself, than hate yourself. But this sense of pride doesn't have to be just for yourself. You can be proud of children, proud of your friends, your family, your students.  Pride comes from love and being happy.

So what about the other six? It's pretty much the same concept as arrogance. When you're being greedy, lustful, angry, or gluttonous, it's because of that lack of love. You try to fill that empty void inside of you by consuming everything, trying to gain as many possessions as you can, by having many sexual encounters, or by simply taking your anger out on other people. Being envious obviously comes from not being happy with what you have. You compare yourself to others so you become jealous and you wish you had what they have. When someone compares themselves to other people that just shows how insecure and unappreciative they are. When it comes to being lazy, I don't think they are actually lazy. In a lot of cases, people don't have confidence in themselves or their actions, so they just choose not to participate, and then automatically, they get labeled as being lazy. One thing I have noticed with 'laziness' is that people just label others as being 'lazy' because they aren't doing what society tells them to. It's not that they are lazy, they just have their values and priorities focused elsewhere. Don't judge what you obviously don't understand.

The point I'm trying to make, is that all of these 'sins' stem from lack of love and happiness. After all, the title of my blog is Happiness is Key and there is so much truth to that. So in truth, these 'sins' don't really exist. They are just labels that people create in their head just to simplify things without actually trying to stop to understand and appreciate.

That is the end of my explanation though. Hopefully from this, you guys now have a different perspective on all of this and won't be so quick to judge others. That's what I try to offer in my blogs, different perspectives because I feel as though that's what our world lacks, empathy and understanding.

But anyways, I know I say this a lot(just about every post :P), but thank all of you for reading my post! I already know what my next couple blogs are gonna be about so I'm excited to talk about them. I love you all! And always remember, happiness is key;) Namasté<3

What do other people think about you? Does it even matter?

Insecurities seem to be a main driving force behind many fears and anxieties that people face on an every day basis, but what exactly is an insecurity? By definition it's an uncertainty or anxiety about oneself. A lack of confidence (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/insecurity). Now you may be wondering, 'Why do people have insecurities?' There are many factors that contribute to this, but the most obvious one is that there are parts of oneself that you might not like. It's because you don't like yourself for who you are because of the way other people have reacted to you. Let's go deeper than that though. Why would anyone decide to hate themselves(or parts of themselves)?

To really understand this, you have to listen to the voice inside of your head, without judgement. Just listen to it as the way it is. Just observe. Don't listen to it as the way you think it is.

Most of your thoughts and ideals come from an outdated way of thinking that was originally created when you were a kid. When you were little, your main motive was just survival and protecting yourself. If lets say, you were yelled at for not picking up your toys, you gained this fear for being yelled at again, so that fear was implanted in your head. For the sake of your 'survival' your brain would induce this fear inside of you to prevent you from being 'attacked' or yelled at again. Thus this turns into an insecurity. You begin to care about what others think about you in fear of being 'attacked' again. Twenty years down the road, that fear is still implanted in your head, but instead of viewing it as an insecurity or fear, you've turned it into a respect thing. You don't want to just leave messes wherever you go because that would be disrespectful to the other people. But deep down, it stems from caring about what others think of you. It stems from your survival instincts. But most people don't realize it, because they don't look at this way. That's only just one example though.

Maybe some of you were made fun of for your weight when you were little, or you compared yourself too much to the people you see on TV, so your survival instincts put that fear into your head, saying that you need to care about about your weight from having to avoid dealing with other peoples judgement, or judgement of yourself.

Pretty much this survival instinct focuses on yourself. It's part of the ego. When you feel like you're being attacked, even if it's just with words, or pictures, that triggers the survival part of your brain. It becomes an insecurity. And when the insecurity becomes too great, it leads to hating yourself and thus losing confidence in yourself.

Now I'm not saying having insecurities are a bad thing. Obviously your brain had good intentions, going into that 'defensive' state, but I feel as though it can get out of hand when you continue with that mindset for the rest of your life. But once you reach a certain state in your human evolution, there comes a time when worrying about what others think of you is no longer important. There comes a time when you need to start becoming your own person and embracing it, rather than hating it, or worrying if other people would like/hate it. If you want to stop feeling insecure or stop feeling like you're being attacked all the time, then I think it's about time you're ready to move on in this human experience.

First and foremost, you have to learn to become aware of yourself and your insecurities. I feel as though a lot of people aren't even aware of the fact that they have them. They view it as something that is normal to them so they don't find reasons to want to change that. So the first step to figuring out any problem, is awareness.

Once you have become aware of the situation, next you have to learn to not care so much about what other people think about you. Just remember that if you continue with this 'survival' mindset, you're going to go your entire life caring about what other people think about you, and you're going to die that way. As blunt and brutal as that sounds, it's the truth. Instead of focusing so much on what other people think of you, focus on what you think of yourself. Learn to love yourself. Maybe you're not necessarily the prettiest person in the world, but so what? It's a body that you were born with, you could either hate it your entire life, and make your life harder than what it needs to be, or you can learn to love it for what it is. Maybe you're just naturally a quiet person, but so many people have commented on it, or you've compared your quietness with everyone else's talkative nature so you became insecure about it. So now any time there's an 'awkward silence' you feel the need to either just avoid the situation or try to come up with something to say in fear of that silence. Instead of doing either of those, why not just be yourself? If you have absolutely nothing to say, then don't try to force anything out. Why try to be something you're not? That's even harder than being yourself.

What I've realized that really helps, is that if you spend a lot of time with people who like you for you who are, people who try to help you bring out your natural self, you won't necessarily have to feel so uncomfortable trying to be something you're not just to impress someone you don't like.

Always remember, that you are not your insecurities. Your insecurities are just constructs of fear that your brain has created for itself. You have the power to change your mindset. Don't ever be ashamed to be yourself. Don't let the fear stop you from being who ever you want to be. Love yourself.

What Are You Thankful For?

I've come to the conclusion that I should start doing blog post at least once every day. It's been a while since I've done a post because I've been putting it off way to much and if I kept doing that, I would never get anywhere with this blog. I really like blogging, but sometimes my procrastination gets in the way and that is something I have to work on when it comes to blogging. Especially blogging. Usually it's not knowing what to talk about that stops me from making any post, but I now know, that if I want to get anywhere with this, I have to keep posting. I have to keep going. I can't give up. Even if it requires me to sit on my computer for hours with a blank screen in front of me, that's okay. And I am okay with this. Mainly because blogging has provided me with a lot. It allows me to talk about the things I want to talk about. It allows me to say things that I might not normally talk about in person. It allows me to connect to people who share similar views an interests. It allows me to help other people who might be in need of advise. It's a way of expressing myself that I feel fits with my personality very well. It allows me to create something from my soul. It's something I love. And I am very thankful for it.

I think people should be more thankful for the things they have. Try to imagine what your life would be like if you didn't have any of the things you have now. It would be a heck of a lot different. Isn't it funny how Thanksgiving and Black Friday, the two most opposite days, are right next to each other? A day where you're suppose to be thankful and appreciative of what you have is right next to the day day where huge crowds of people will stomp and topple over other people just to get bagfuls of things what they want. I don't think being thankful should be just dedicated to one day. It should be everyday. When you see the injuries and deaths from Black Friday, it really shows that people aren't all that thankful for what they have. They would rather trample over other people just to make themselves happier with cheaper toys. It shows that Thanksgiving has just become a day where people look more forward to the food than anything else. To me, that's not being thankful at all.

"Appreciate more, expect less." Is the mind set that I like to have. When you start trying to expect things to happen, or when you ask for so much from someone or something, your happiness starts going down the drain. It's because of that 'want' that you have for something, it makes you vulnerable. Vulnerable in the sense where, if you didn't get what you wanted so badly, or if something didn't go the way you expected it, you're gonna end up being very disappointed and possibly to the extremes of being angry and forceful on others. Even if it doesn't seam like you have a lot, or maybe it seams like you have absolutely nothing, to someone else out there, your 'nothing' is sure heck of a lot of 'something' to someone else. Just the fact that you are born into this world and have a chance to live it out, and make your life the way you want it to be, I think is something that everyone should be thankful for. Take some time and write down a list of everything you're thankful for in your life right now and everyday when you wake up and before you go to bed, keep adding to that list. Once you start to find more things to be appreciative for, you'll start to feel how happier you get, because you'll start to realize that you do have a lot more in your life than what you gave yourself credit for.

Be thankful and appreciative for your life.
(Note to self: Don't give up on blogging)
Thank all of you for reading my blogs.
I love you. Namasté <3

God, The Universe, and You.

Have you ever had this feeling, like you were a part of something much bigger than yourself? Something that goes far beyond our current understanding of things? Maybe you have. Maybe you haven't. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the universe as a whole. The works of the universe is something that has always interested me. I feel as though our universe works in ways that go beyond the standard laws of physics.

I don't know how many of you are into the whole alien conspiracy thing, but when there are supposed messages from extra terrestrials that you read about, or watch about on youtube, telling us that there is some liveliness to the universe, that the universe itself is a living entity, a living being, I feel as though there is some truth to that. I don't know if those messages are from actual aliens themselves, but that's besides the point. If you think about it, if it is stardust that has made us into the living conscious beings we are today, then who's to say that the universe itself isn't a living, conscious entity?(For those who haven't heard of Carl Sagan, look him up. His philosophies about life and the universe is where I got the inspiration for this post.) And when I say the universe, I also mean everything within it. That means the planet itself, the rock that you skipped across the water, the water that you threw the rock in, the car that you drive, solar systems, even galaxies and the spaces in between. I don't know if anyone else gets this, but when I think of the universe as a living being, I feel a sense of connection with everything, a sense of oneness. This is that sensation I was talking about.

The universe is a giant ball of mystery and our science and philosophy has barely even scratched the surface of it. People like to say that we know more about the universe than we do our own oceans, but I don't believe that to be true. I don't think people realize how much is really out there in the infinity that's beyond our biosphere. Uh... Infinity. By definition it means, endless, limitless, boundless. But can we really truthfully fathom infinity? The answer is no. You can even give it a try yourself. Try to picture just a million one dollar bills. You'll realize that you can't. The number is too big for our mind to picture. And well, that's how I feel about the universe. Even the most advanced civilizations in our known universe have probably realized they know absolutely so little about it. If the universe is infinite, then that means there's an infinite amount of knowledge to learn. I hope the human race is prepared for that:P

Flower of Life. Symbolic Representation of our Universe.
Now, science says that you can't really prove that the universe is infinite, at least not yet. And I understand where they're coming from. But have you ever heard of the saying "That which is above is the same as that which is below"(Shorter version 'As above, so below')? This is another philosophy that comes from the ancient civilizations. Have you ever looked at a picture of an atom? It looks a lot like our solar system doesn't it? Have you ever looked at a cell, and saw how much it resembles and acts like an animal like us? Have you ever looked at the picture of the known universe and saw how much it resembles the neurons in a brain? That which is above, is the same that which is below, and it expands infinitely in both directions. So, if this is true, if you look just the tip of pinpoint, in that what seams to be a small amount of space, holds infinity. Pretty hard to wrap your mind around, right? It's as though, the universe created us in its image.

Now that saying I'm sure sounds familiar. Usually when people say that, they replace 'Universe' with the word 'God.' So if God equals the universe, you could say that we were created in his image. Now since we're on the topic of God, I think this would be a good time to say this. A few days ago, my step sister asked me if I believed in God. At the time I had a hard time answering this question. Obviously my answer was yes, but I couldn't just say that because I know that my perception of God is different than hers because she comes from a very religious family. Obviously we all have the same god, we all have the same universe, it's just how you perceive it that makes the difference. So I'm gonna answer her question, and maybe my answer will give everyone else some food for thought. This is what I don't believe in. I don't believe in a God with a white beard, who sits on a throne, and one day he was bored so he decided farted out the universe. I don't believe in a God that is separate from us, that is separate from the universe. I believe in the Universe. And if the Universe is God, then that also means you're God. After all, you are the Universe inside of itself. And when they say to look up to God, when you have an issue or problem, what they really mean, is to look to the God within yourself. Look for answers within your own soul. If they say to pray to God, what they really mean, is to pray to yourself. When they say to have faith in God, they mean to have faith in yourself. So from this perspective, if you believe in the Universe, you automatically believe in God. So when religion was created back in the day, I think they had the right idea, but it was just changed and misinterpreted over time.

I could honestly keep going, but I'm not going to, so I hope this answers my sister's question. I hope that maybe for you "religious" people, this helped changed your idea of God and the Universe(and science). And for you "athiest" I hope with this perspective, you won't be so afraid of the idea of 'God.' I believe Science and Spirituality could benefit greatly if they combined and got over their differences. But anyways, thank you all for reading my blog post! If it weren't for you, I'd have no reason to do this and keep going, so thank you! I greatly appreciate it:) I love you all. Namasté <3

Humanity's Insecurity

As you have may noticed, I haven't made a new post in a little over a week now. I've been kinda busy which kinda saddens me, because I actually like blogging. But, don't worry! I didn't go anywhere. I'm still here, still blogging!:) These past couple days I've been trying to figure out what my next post was going to be about. I even started writing another post, but today after watching Prince Ea's youtube video 'Why I think the world should end' (http://youtu.be/itvnQ2QB4yc?list=PLtY1iLdia2RygWmqtjHGYm9P3Lz8HHhma), something inside of me sparked. Something that I felt was really important and needed to be talked about. Just as he probably thought the same thing. So I put my other post aside to do this one. And since it has been a while since I've done a post, I made sure I put in a lot of time and effort into this one. So like most of my post, I'm gonna start of with a question or few.

If you were an Alien visiting earth, what would you think of the human species? If you were able to look at yourself from and outside perspective, what would you think of yourself? Have you ever even given it a thought? Or are you too comfortable living inside of your sheltered home to care about what goes outside, or even inside of yourself for that matter? Do you have this feeling inside of you that there is something wrong with the world? Or are you too busy, being self absorbed into your phone, only caring about how many likes you have on a picture, how many "friends" you have or getting excited because a new song came out talking about drugs, butts and sex?

Many things are wrong with the world that we live in today, but I don't think enough people realize it. The human species is miserable and in need of change, but either we fear it that change or we don't even realize that we are miserable. What the human species needs to do is to wake up. So please take this message with consideration, because we, the human species, needs this realization.

Too many of us don't think for themselves. We conform to a society that tells us how to think and how to act, rather than thinking for ourselves and expressing our unique individuality. Our education system teaches the exact same thing. We are so insecure with ourselves, that we buy makeup to cover up our "imperfection." We starve ourselves because our bodies don't match what we see on the TV. We try so hard to be something we're not because we feel the need for acceptance from others, rather than yourself. We care too much about what other people think about us, rather than caring about be happier. Our "American Dream" is nothing more than just an excuse to continue using money for how you think about yourself. We tell people that if we keep buying and buying more things, they'll our own greed. We medicate so much that we have to rely on it rather than trying to figure out the problems ourselves. We judge and label others too much without stopping and trying to actually understand. We hate too much and love too little. Unconditional love doesn't even exists any more. It's become more about possession rather than appreciation. We ask for so much, but yet we don't appreciate what we already have. Ignorance is rewarded when they shun and hate the intelligent. We try so hard to make a living, that we forget how to live. Money has taken over every aspect of our lives but yet we forget that it only has value if we give it value. We forget to realize that money is the root of all evil. The amount of pride and greed is so high that we forget to help those in need. We have been so absorbed into our technology that we have lost our connection to our planet. We believe and worship in an invisible god that is separate from us, so we forget to worship and take care of the god that is our planet and our universe. Speaking of god, religion has lost its true sense of faith. It has became a battle over who's god is right and real and who's god isn't. It has become a way so people can continue to hate people based on their sexuality or beliefs. I thought religion was suppose to teach about compassion and love, not hate, fear and judgement. We pollute our air and water so much. Animals are becoming extinct. We're so focused on making money that we don't bother with renewable resources. We fill the news media with unimportant events, about celebrities and gossip, rather than focusing on the real problems. Our government is corrupt. Our leaders are elected by how much money they use. We seem to only care about making war rather than making peace. Our jails are overfilled and our police force abuses their powers. 

And yet, so many people are too comfortable with the lives that they have now that they fear change. It's as if though they fear the light and worship the dark. If you wish to see a change in this world, you must learn to start with yourself. One person might not be able to change the world, but if each and every one of us, changes in the inside, we will create a generation that will make history in our human evolution. I understand that the time we are in right now, is a necessary step in our evolution. We must experience the bad in order to understand the good. But I think it's about time we make a change. Always remember that each and every one of you is special and important in this changing world. And if you wish to see change, then you must learn to become aware of yourself, your actions, your thoughts, and the environment around you. Be the change you wish to see. Be the light that will shine out the darkness. You have the power to. You just have to realize it.

Have hope for the future. I love you all. Namasté <3

You Alone Have The Choice

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." ~John Lennon

If someone came up to you and asked if you were a happy person, what would you say? Would you say yes with confidence? Would you frown a little bit and say no? Would you hesitate a little bit because you are unsure? Or would you lie to yourself and say you are happy, when deep down you know you're not? Below is a list of traits that every happy person has in common. Maybe some of these traits will resonate with you. Maybe some of these traits are things that you need to apply to your life more. This post will probably be a long one, so be prepared to read a lot, but what I hope is that when you are done reading this, you will hopefully gain a better understanding of yourself and what happiness means to you.

They love themselves for who they are. That includes their weaknesses.
Happy people don't care about what others think about them. They don't go to others for approval or satisfaction. They love themselves for who they are. They understand and accept the fact that everyone has their own weaknesses so they make the best out of life with the strengths that they have.

They view problems as a challenge to overcome.
When they are faced with a problem, instead of living in fear and running away from it, they view it as a challenge, an obstacle, that they must overcome with confidence.

They take responsibility for everything in their life, including their own emotions.
Happy people aren't going to play the blame game, act like victims, or complain about every difficult situation. They understand that they are responsible for their own happiness. Instead of blaming someone else for making them miserable and unhappy, they create their own happiness from within, no matter what the situation is. They have have a strong control over themselves and their feelings. They like to live as a master over their emotions, rather than be a slave to them.

They are true to themselves.
Happy people stay true to themselves. They don't fall into what society thinks of them or how society wants them to be. They stick to who they are and who they want to be. They don't base themselves from what other people want or what their values are. They stay true to their own values and do what they believe is right and they stay true to what they love. They don't care about what criticisms or judgments that society has to offer. Their self worth is a reflection of who they are and how they choose to live. Not what they own, who they know, where they live, or what they look like. They are their own person who enjoys expressing their own uniqueness.

They don't chase happiness.
Happy people know that if you view happiness as a destination or a place to you must reach, that you will be chasing it for the rest of your life. They understand that happiness comes from within. Not by how much money you have, not by what things they own, and not what by what situations they think should happen in their life. They appreciate the things that they have, rather than focusing on the things they don't have or what they could have. They understand that happiness is part of the journey, not the destination.

They laugh and smile. A lot.
It could even be the most stupidest of things, and they will laugh at it as though it was a hilarious joke. Even during difficult times, they have learned to laugh at themselves and the mistakes that they have made. They understand that life isn't meant to be taken seriously, so they take their issues and things that happen to them lightheartedly and laugh at them a little. They know if you can find humor in any situation, you automatically win.

They are life long learners.
Happy people take every situation and learn from it. Even if they are in the most difficult situation, they find ways of turning it into a positive experience by learning something from it and becoming a better them. Life is their school.

They expect less and give more.
They don't expect much from other people, because they are happy with what they have. Instead, happy people find pleasure in sharing their happiness with others and making someone else smile and be happy. They understand what it's like to be down in the dumps.

They love unconditionally.
Happy people aren't going to hate someone just because they don't agree with what someone else does or think. They understand that the only way to drive out hate, anger, and fear is to love. Love unconditionally. They don't judge or criticize someone because they understand that everyone tries as hard as they can in their life with the level of consciousness, understanding, and awareness that they have. Instead of hating people for their actions, beliefs, or flaws they learn to love people because they too have opinions, flaws and problems just like everyone else. They respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and perspective. They have learned to see beauty in everyone.

They live in the present.
Instead of being stuck in the past, or worrying too much about the future, happy people focus on whats important. The now. They understand that the only time in the world that they have to do things, is right now. They understand that what is in the past, is in the past for a reason. And if they are worrying too much about the future, then you are worrying about something that hasn't even happened yet. They focus on what they can do right now. Because the only way to change the future, is to focus on the present. They bring their awareness to the present and embrace the Now!

They prefer deep conversations rather than simple small talk.
Happy people prefer to look at the bigger picture in life. They don't care about all the drama that happens or the simple small talks. They like to put their focus on things that actually matter in the long run. They sacrifice short-term pleasures for long term happiness.

They try to be a better them, rather than being better than others.
They understand that the only person you should be comparing yourself to, is the person you were yesterday. No one else. They know that if you were to compare yourself to other people, that would only create insecurities and jealousy. Don't try to be better than everyone else. Just be a better you.

They look within themselves when in need of a solution.
Every now and then it's nice to go to someone when you are in desperate need of help, but happy people understand that the only person who knows you best, is you. If you want a solution to a problem, you must look within yourself and you will find the answer. Follow love.

They view relationships as an extension to the human experience, rather than a necessity.
Happy people understand that if someone feels constantly lonely and feels the need to constantly have people in their life, its most likely because they don't want to be left alone with the one person they hate, themselves. If you learn to love yourself, then having people in your life becomes a choice rather than a necessity.

They accept what cannot be changed.
They know that if there is a situation that they cannot physically change, the only way to make it better is by simply changing their perspective about it, and changing the way they view the situation into something more positive and move on.

They tend to be more spiritual people.
Happy people tend to be more spiritual because they have become aware of their connection to everything around them. They look at everything around them as equals. This includes people, animals, plants, our planet, and the universe as a whole. They have awakened to the oneness of the universe.

Personally, I can confidently say that I am an all around happy person. Sometimes I'll slip and fall every now and then, but thankfully I have wonderful friends that remind me of how far I have gotten.

Now I'm not here typing out this long post just to boast about my own happiness. I am sending this message to all of YOU, because I know way to many people who are stuck in depression, who hate themselves, who hate the people and the world around them, who are blocked by fear, who can't face their insecurities, who judge and criticize constantly, and who have become SLAVES to their own minds.

I want all of you to know, that every day, when you wake up, you have a choice. You can either wake up and be a victim or you can wake up and be a winner. You can either wake up and hate the world or you can wake up and love everything for what it is. You either can wake up and cower in fear in the comfort of your own home or you can wake up and step out of your comfort zone. You can either wake up and care about what everyone else thinks about you or you can wake up be yourself for once, and not be afraid to do so. The only person in the entire universe who can make you happy and whole is YOU! YOU alone have the power to make yourself happy and free from the chains of hate and fear. If you are tired of being miserable, angry and insecure then I want all of you, right now, to stand up, and from the deepest part of your heart and soul, yell at the top of your lungs "STARTING TODAY, I AM CHOOSING TO BE HAPPY DAMMIT!"

The mind is a terrible master, but a wonderful servant. You have a choice. Choose wisely.
I love you all. Namasté <3

Halloween Special - Life, Death, and Rebirth

Since Halloween was yesterday, and everyone is now sitting at home, drying out their costumes from the rain, and resting their big bellies full of sugary sweets, today would be a perfect day to do a Halloween post! I know, I know, you don't need to tell me. I am a day late. I was hoping to do this yesterday but I never managed to find the time to myself to write this post. But, I'm doing it now so... Yay!:)


Do you know where Halloween comes from? Well if not, you're about to learn something new. I know I sure didn't know until I decided to do this post. The word Halloween originated from Christianity back in the 1740s. It means Hallowed Evening or Holy Evening, but before then it went by a different name. The Scottish use to call it All Hallows Eve, but after some time the word Eve/Even(evening) changed over to e'en and een and then it kinda squished together to form what we know of as now as Halloween. October 31 was(and still is) a day where cultures all over the world would honor those who have passed on from this life. I remember learning a lot about this during spanish class around this time of the year. It's pretty much the day of the dead, and it has a lot of religious roots. Churches would light candles and send prayers to those who have passed away. Other cultures believed that this was the time of the year when souls would come back and visit their homes so they would set up a spot for them during dinner time by the fire to welcome them home. During the festivals they would have bonfires and they believed that the smoke would have protective and cleansing powers. And of course, people would go house to house dressed up in costumes getting snacks. If you wish to know more, Wikipedia is where I got my information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween  ... Yay Wikipedia!:D

I hope you have at least a decent idea of where The Day of the Dead came from. Speaking of the dead, now I can finally get into the stuff I wanted to talk about. I'm sure everyone has thought of this at least one point in their life, but what happens when we die? Does our bodies and our conscious minds just turn into dirt so new plants and animals can form and that's it? Or do we have souls? And if so, where do our souls go after our bodies have died? Many religions and theologies have come up with ideas. Most religions believe in a heaven and/or hell, a place where souls would go after they have gone through judgement. Eastern theologies, like Buddhism, and Hinduism believed that our souls would pass through multiple life times, through multiple bodies, so their souls can grow in its awareness until it was One with the All.  Others believe that we don't have souls, and that there is no after life. And there are those who don't have any beliefs simply because of the fact they aren't sure what's true and what's not true. 


Now, I do plan on doing a religion vs science post at some point in the future but here's a brief explanation of what I think happens after we die... If you wish to put a label on it for the sake of simplicity, you could say that some of my beliefs stem from the eastern theologies(Buddhism, Hinduism) and today's "New Age" theology. I believe that we are souls on a this cosmic journey, passing through life time after life time, further expanding our souls and our knowledge with each body that we live in further enlightening ourselves. Our bodies are just vehicles for our souls to use. They are not our true selves. Death, is not something to be feared. Death just means rebirth. Just like a pheonix. When a pheonix dies, it gets reborn from the ashes. To me, that just makes a lot more sense than a heaven or a hell, just because that's how all the physical matter in our universe works so It would make sense if our souls worked the same way, but I do accept the fact that I could be just as right or just as wrong as the next person, so I try to stay open-minded to other/new ideas. 

By the way... I'd advise watching the movie The Fountain with Hugh Jackman in it. I just watched it the other day, and it talks exactly what I'm talking about: Life, Death, Rebirth, Immortality, Tree of life. I found it to be a very thought provoking movie. I kept me thinking even days after watching the movie. So.. Watch it! ;)

So I'd like to ask you, what are your thoughts on life and death? Do you have maybe a belief that's might not be as "Popular" or well known as Christianity or Buddhism? Do you have a belief that you totally came up with on your own? Do you have beliefs completely different or similar to what I do? If you haven't ever thought of this before in depth, I'd advise doing so. Play with your thoughts a bit. Spark up your imagination. Make your brain really think. Even if you already have a set of beliefs, try to think of another possibility. Be open-minded. I know that in truth, no one will really know until that day comes, or until we have the technology to figure it out, but while we're here and alive in the bodies we have now, we might as well have some fun with our imaginations in the mean time:P

Well, I think that ends this post. I hope everyone had a fun candy filled spooky Halloween yesterday! Remember to hide the candy from your kids before they eat it all;) I love you all! Namasté <3

What Is It That You Want To Do?

Where to begin... Where to begin... No no no no. I know where to begin :) Lets start off with a question.

Have you ever thought about doing something? Have you ever had this idea come to life in the depths of your mind and you really wanted to do it, but you don't know where to start, or how you would go about pursuing this idea, or maybe you have this fear that's stopping you, so you just put it off for another day just to end up not doing it at all? Well, I'm sure just about everyone has gone through that experience. I know I have.

About a year ago, as I was hitting that adult stage of my life where I wasn't so sure about myself and I was trying figure out what I wanted to dedicate my life to. Many things came to my mind. Things like: Being a better person, traveling the world, living simply, living off the grid, helping to make the world a better place for everyone. Many things came to mind. (Obviously I would like to do all of the above some day) And yes, you guessed it, Blogging was brought up. At first I was kind of iffy on the idea of doing a blog, just because I didn't know where to start, or how to start. Kind of like writing an essay in high school; You know what the essay is going to be about, you just don't know how to put your thesis paragraph together(at least that was my issue). I'm the type of person who thinks a lot. About everything. So knowing what to talk about wasn't an issue. I wasn't even sure if it would get very far with this, but here I am doing my first blog post! :) And... I think I'm going to stick to it. There is always a plethora of things that fill my head that I've always wanted to express to people so I don't think I could ever run out of things to talk about.


But ANYWAYS... to the original point of this post... If you have an idea that keeps popping up in your head and won't go away, or if you have a strong urge to do something great, or a strong passion for something, or if it feels like your soul is trying to claw its way out the body(yes, this has happened to me) to tell you to do something, then by all means... DO IT!!! Don't wait. Don't come up with excuses to postpone it. The only time do to anything is NOW. The present moment is the only time you have to do anything, so do what you love. Love what you do. And put your heart and soul into whatever it is you want to do. You could learn so much from the experiences if you did everything that came to mind. If you keep waiting, or stuck in the fear zone, or whatever it is, you'll be almost dead by the time you'd actually be ready to do it. It took me a lot of soul searching to figure out what I want to do with my time here in this flesh and bones. And sometimes I still come up with excuses, deal with fear, procrastinate, lose ambition etc...  but if you take it at your own pace and you're doing what you love, everything will work out just fine;) Instead of focusing on what you haven't done in your life yet, focus on what you have done with your life. You'll realize that if you're able to get through the entirety of your life up until now, the future will be a piece of cake if you put your soul into it:D Just keep reminding yourself that, because sometimes I forget to tell myself that and then I end up over worrying over nothing.

Now, that I got all of that out of the way... (This post is totally flip flopping back and forth and totally unorganized.)

What is it that I'm going to blog about, you say? Good question. Probably about all sorts of wonderful shhhtuff! I just gave ya a spiel about doing what you love so it will probably be whatever comes to my mind I guess. It could be about the hidden secrets of the universe. It could be about self development and finding yourself and your place in this world. It could even be about a stupid funny Youtube video I found about cats because I guess that's what the people of the internet are into these days. Just coming up with the topic of this post was off the top of my head. I just went with it. Which is exactly why this post is all over the place. :P

I'm starting to run out of things to say, so this will be the end up my post. I just realized that if my English teachers saw this, I feel like they would be very disappointed. This is not how you're taught to end a essay/article/thingy. But whatevs!:) Live happily, love freely and express the universe inside of you! I love you all! Namasté:)
