21 Days

My rules are as follows

1. No typing in the URL of any of the following sites.
- Facebook, Reddit, Twitter or use the app Instagram.
Not even to see what anyone is doing. Keeping yourself completely off the grid so as to not be tempted to write something or post something.
2. Spend whatever time you would normally spend a day pressing "refresh" on any of the social media sites, to explore something you really love. In my case, reading actual books (not on the Internet - it's okay if it's a kindle.) Go outside to take pictures of something. Pick a theme for the day and try to capture as much as you can within that theme. Finish the short story project I started.
3. If you watch tv, limit it to either news and one movie per day, that is if you watch movies with your family or friends on a regular basis.
4. Eat a varied diet. Try the best you can to work something new into your diet that you havent tried before.
5. Lastly, make a schedule for yourself, things you want to get accomplished in 21 days. An exercise schedule, food, normal chores. And keep a journal about your findings. How you feel in your mind and heart. Does things get easier without "distractions"? Should there be a certain time where you'd check social media sites? What kind of life do you really want?

Begin!

-Note to my friends on Facebook: As I will not be using any social media site, I won't be able to read any private messages that are sent. So check my FB information page about my phone number if you wish to come into contact with me and my email is also listed there.
Also - I will post a daily journal here on my blog, so y'all can see my "progress".

Love + Blessings

Confused

Maybe, there's a reason for all the pain. Maybe not? But what I know for sure, is that we can't take it all at once. I tried to be the good person, to give of myself, in the right way. Without hurting any one, or myself. I know I am not perfect, in any way. No one is. Really.  But, I also find it hard to imagine a world where there is less pain.

Angsty teen

I love looking at things I've written a decade ago - am I really getting that old? Then, some times you come across  a poem where you wonder what was going through you at the time. You can't really remember what brought you to that place where the poem came from. To be honest, I remember being an angsty teen and really focused on the bad things that were happening in my life, but still I can't remember who I wrote this about. I honestly always draw from my own experiences in life so this must have meant something to me. For the life of me, I wish I could remember. I published the following very short poem online in 2003: --- What can I say, to make it all better? What can I do, to make it last forever? What can I see, that you don't in me? ---- I find it funny now, that I could be so completely lost in someone to write such a poem. Yet, I think it comes with the territory of being a teenager. You obsess and worry and wonder why love hasn'

"Dancin' Away With My Heart"

So - I see a lot of people "dreading" the coming Valentine's Day... Honestly, I couldn't care less about this day. When I was in a long term relationship I'll admit that I, in the beginning, expected my partner to get me something on Valentine's Day. I soon realized that it didn't mean as much as when he just surprised me on an ordinary day with something out of the ordinary. In reality, Valentine's Day has nothing to do with love or appreciation. It's a corporately structured "holiday" where industries try to put an emphasis on one day where your partner "should" show his appreciation for you. Why would it matter on this particular day and less on other days? Ridiculous... Okay, I'll level with you guys. I believe in true love. Yeah I know what you're gonna say. Blah blah, women believe in true love and they always have. They want that knight in shining armour to come rescue them and won't give anything less than
