The Path to Writing

What a year. What a life.
There is so much I want to say and so many thoughts flowing through my brain.
I want to start out by explaining my reason for this blog. Now usually I don't like to explain myself, but right now I have my reasons and I want you to know them (whoever YOU may be). I want to be a writer. Writing is something I have always done without even trying, to me, it's effortless. Writing is one of the only ways I can express myself clearly. Paulo Coelho said "From the moment that you don’t fear to share your heart, you are a free person." and let me just say first, I have always had trouble expressing myself to others. But, I want to be free. I want to share my feelings and thoughts without fear of reprecussion, this is my first step to freedom.
I have made a personal constitution (http://www.lyved.com/success/a-personal-constitution-the-way-to-make-your-resolutions-stick/) and I have every intention of sticking to it. Not only will this be my year, as well as yours if you claim it to be, but this is my life. I'm tired of living without strict intentions. I don't want to be the story of BRIDA who wanted to follow all of her life's possible paths but wound up following none. I have always wanted to be the best version of myself possible, but I have come to the realization that to do that I must choose a path. In the past I have been hesistant to do this because I was scared of what I might miss out on if I choose one direction over another. But, I have balled up these fears and thrown them in the fire.

I choose writing.

“When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.”

After reading this quote I realized that I have already felt disappointment, defeat, and despair without being path minded. So why not choose a path? My point is no matter the path we choose or if we choose a path at all, these emotions are something we cannot simply "opt out" of, they're there. We, I, must face the fact that without bad there can be no good. Learn from your emotions and you will be a stronger person.

My current hope and intention for creating this blogspot is...
1) To become a better writer.
2) To release my thoughts, emotions, and heart.
3) To make a difference in someone else's life.

I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.
Have a beautiful day. :)

Powerless Life, Powerless Night

I have never really understood will power. I understand boredom. I think it's a waste of time to think about how boring your imagination is. You're so dull, you can't entertain yourself, but I get it. I've had will power, and I like to think that once you've experienced something, it increases your knowledge of said something. But when I weigh out the benefits of telling yourself what you want, and then sticking to it, it falls short on the scale next to living in the moment. Making crazy, off the wall, out of the blue, stupid decisions is part of being human, it's part of the human experience. I can't understand why people don't want to make bad decisions. It was one of "those days." The kind of emotional girl roller coaster days you'd see in a rom com where the girl is taking turns comforting herself in greasy french fries and Tom Hanks' love stories with whatever her name is with the orgasms, except there were drugs, and it wa...
