WANTED

Sometimes I wonder; if I could have everything I ever wanted would I be the same person? Would I be happy? Would I stop wanting at some point and feel content? Does the simple act of wanting fuel who we are on the daily? I looked at this photo (stolen from another blog) and thought, if only I could have all of those dresses in my closet, oh how happy I would be (that is if they all fit, which is nearly impossible.) Then after that superficial and yet self deprecating thought, I came back to reality. I realized that I am right, (again) If I had all those dresses and they all fit, I would just be a girl with a lot of dresses, that wants something more than a lot of dresses.

Peace, Love, & Wanting

Funny how we are exposed to commercial so much in our lives we can without even trying identify these brands. Yet the things that we are passionate about can over time be forgotten. Stay passionate people!

Peace, Love, & Passion!

Absence

It's funny how we can be an important part of someones life, yet not always the most prominent. I spent the evening with my pseudo mom (if she were old enough to be my mom) and the little sister I never had. Due to my/their busy schedules, we do not see a lot of each other. We spent the evening giggling and reminiscing along with making new memories and planning future ones. I drove home with a smile on my face thinking about how great it is that we can be without each other for so long and the second we come together it's like we were never apart. I love how time works...it's almost as if that old saying is true...absence really does make the heart grow fonder.

Peace, Love, & Time

Cultural Conditioning

We are all being conditioned...Check out this painting by Stephan Doitschinoff aka Calma, he depicts the idea of cultural conditioning perfectly. Institutions like Large corporations, Governement, and media channels shape and mold who we are...what are you going to do to stop it?

Peace,Love,& Calma

"Reality"

I know that most don't listen to music the way I do, but growing up listening to country music is like growing up listening to hundreds of short stories about love, heartache, family, war, first times, last times, little moments...

Today I heard a song (sorry I cant remember the title or the artist) it was about this fast paced world we are living in. It talked about how most of us go on day to day letting the media tell us how to live. We turn the television on to what the media calls "reality" television just to compare our own realities and find that ordinary is not "in"

You may not agree with the fact that there is a comparison taking place, and maybe there isn't but I believe subconsciously we are making these small comparisons which in turn make us question who we are.

I am going to do myself a favor, and next time I go to turn on the television (unless its 3:00 and Ellen is on) I am going to pick up a book, read a blog, write a letter to Grandma, or just simply breathe. I think we all owe it to ourselves to take a little break from "reality"

Peace, Love & reality
