Giving an audience to your inner monologue

YOU.

You. Yes, you. I am writing this for you.
I know you are reading this. And I want you to know I am writing this for you. No one else will understand. No one else knows. They think that this is for them. But it’s not. I am writing this for you.
I want you to know, life…it’s hard. Every day can be a challenge. It can be a challenge to get up in the morning. To get yourself out of bed. To put on that smile. But I want you to know, that smile is what keeps me going some days. You need to remember, even through the tough times, you are amazing. You really are.
You should be happy. You are gorgeous.
I know that the weather might not be perfect. You might have to turn your back to the wind or feel the cold nipping at your nose. But you know what, at least you are there to feel it. At least you can enjoy the sun’s warm rays on your face. Or that cold February wind biting at your cheeks. You know what that means?
You are alive.
Everything will be okay.

Say YES!!

“Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes.”

Creating a Masterpiece

Because when the world turns it's back on you the only one left is you.  So be amazing,  be great, be all you can be because when the lights go out and the music stops it's still only you and who you've created...

Find your Peace within

-So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth. 

Fun with Words

A new word for how awesome Fridays are! 

Goodbye Princess, Hello Queen.

  

It seems that in my 24th year life has taken an odd and definitely unexpected turn.  I woke up the other day and realized i'm not the same person I was a year ago.  It's like I stepped into the adult zone and I can never play on the kids side again.  I mourn the loss of my childlike innocence things will never be the same.  I can't pinpoint exactly when this happened and the feeling is very bittersweet.  Happy to finally feel like a woman and take on my responsibilities, sad playing with silly putty is no longer acceptable.  Who am I kidding i'll still play with silly putty and be the first to buy a coloring book but it no longer holds the same excitement.  It's probably because I need to put away the coloring book and get back to painting on a canvas.  First I need to find my next inspiration!

Turning this new page in my life im not sure what to expect, new job? New friends? New adventures and culture shocks?  

Hopefully all of the above but in the mean time im going to take it day by day.  I will not be afraid to challenge myself and break ties with whatever holds me down.  It's not easy to start over but everyday is a new opportunity.  Thankfully I have a great support system that is always there no matter what the situation.  If life doesn't want to show you the way then make your own way. 

I feel extremely rusty writing this after years of not blogging hopefully my next few posts will flow better. 

Keep on coloring,

Vanessa

In my mini quest of life I have found that inspiration is key to success, I hope these quotes help you throughout a tough day or just make you smile. :)

Here are a few puppy pictures that always make me feel all warm and tingly inside.
