We Interrupt This Broadcast with an Important Message from Our Sponsors:

Men are probably the most confusing animals on earth. Trust me, the friends and I have had DEEP conversations about this matter. One minute, they’re quite in love with a female, and the next POOF! Gone. Wash, rinse, repeat. And on and on and on…..

Really? What the heck is up with their heads?

At this stage in their development, though, I can see where some of the wiring in their brains is a tad bit out of sync with ours. They’re still somewhat developing, and are barely reaching the same maturity level as most of us women.

But really, guys?

This is getting tiring.

You, boy, need to grow up and decide what you want in life. Take your compliments, your insults, and your general neediness and figure yourself, and us, out.

My hope in life is to fall in love (with an amazing example of a guy) and start a family with said “I fell in love with this man” guy. Your goals, dear male, go as far as what you might eat tomorrow, or what mischief to create.

I: want to be successful and happy in my career, and I want someone who supports me, loves me, loves life, their career, and family. I hope for someone who loves me as much as I love them (no hurry, seriously) and who I can support as much as they support me. See? Ambitions and goals, people.

You: want to challenge the establishment, find yourself, and discover the “here and now.” Your ambitions and goals = nonexistent

Life moves quickly, sir, and you must move with it. You’re kind of just floating on and really, the world might need for you to figure yourself out and contribute.


Whew. Ok, I’m done with my rant. Now on to your previously scheduled broadcast….

Head VS. Heart

“Gimme a beat!”

I feel it. Do you hear it? Listen very closely. Shut off all of the noise around you. Forget about the voices, the sounds, the lights. Just feel it. Don’t worry about those daily troubles, right now is your moment. It’s a moment to feel yourself in relation to the world. Hear it now? It’s your heart. It has its own natural beat. It creates its own rhythm for the music of everyday life. Now, listen even closer; you can hear mine. They’re different, yet the same. Mine is the slight twitter of a heart full of joy, ready to dance and leap across the world in bounds or maybe even swim the Atlantic, just to find myself in another country. (If only I could live with the fish) Yours might be the slow rhythm of someone who ponders, the fast and heavy rhythm of someone full of life and passion. Maybe it’s the THUMP THUMP, thump THUMP THUMP of someone like me.

In any case, it’s your heart. It’s pure emotion, the first to react with passion in a moment. Yet, in a lot of cases, it’s the head that wins. Yet, why does the head get to have all of the fun? Let the heart take you places that you’ve never even dreamed of. You might just land in a magical place: the moon, the stars, or maybe you’ll come back down to Earth and land in the ocean. I wouldn’t mind that, myself.

Let the natural rhythm of the heart take you places. Let it feel. Let it beat. Let it make its music.

A Fork in the Road

Too indecisive, yet opinionated.

 

Yup, I think that’s what I am. I have WAY too much on my plate, and I keep accepting more and more to do. I think what the problem is is that I’m so driven to do well in EVERYTHING I do that I can’t really decide my true fate.

 

I set goals, but, in the long run, I often wonder if those goals will be as rewarding to me as when I first began them.

 

For instance, my career choice. Teaching! I find the utmost joy in knowing that I have helped someone. I like to touch people’s lives, even in the most indistinct way. A smile in passing. A math problem that they’ll never forget. An inspirational talk that’ll hopefully change their viewpoints on life. Yet, over the years, I’ve also realized that teaching may not be the only career choice to fulfill this passion.

 

I guess you could say that I’m a little TOO well rounded.

 

I sing (or, well, used to), I involve myself in my music, I paint, I draw, I write, I teach, I cook, I sculpt. See? A lot on my plate.

 

The point is, I think I’ve come to a tiny spot in my life in which I may not know if the path that I have chosen will be right for me. As a person, I have grown to be someone that I absolutely love, and I hope that this becomes more and more reflected in my growth, but on the other hand, can I help others with what I do to love themselves as well?

 

Well, Self, we shall see….
