Dear Void

Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life, well, valuable but small, and sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it or because I haven't been brave. So much of what I see reminds me of something I've read in a book when shouldn't it be the other way around?

I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So goodnight dear void.

I wonder

I wonder what people's lives are like? What are they thinking and how do they feel? What life changing events have they gone through and what did they learn? Who inspires them? What are they passionate about? What makes them laugh and what are they grateful for? What single moment in their day made them happy?

Just looking at people's faces as they go by makes me wonder why they have that expression on their faces. I wonder if I could help just by listening.

One of these days I just might go up to a total stranger and ask.

Time for a Change

"I like change, she said, as long as I remember I like change."

Change has come once again in my life. This time because of my own doing. I quit my job. And I'm actually happy that I did it. It isn't as scary as I thought it would be. I was expecting to feel like I was on the top of a very high roller coaster about to fall all the way down. It's actually more like sitting on a swing with the wind in your hair, leaning back and moving your body so that you go higher and higher. I can now take charge of what my life will look like and what I'm going to do next. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the wind keeps blowing in my hair. Wish me luck.

Life's Remote Control

Wouldn't it be great if life had a remote control? You could hit the pause button if you needed a breather or the rewind button to keep replaying the good parts. Or when life just gets a little boring you can fast forward to find out what lies ahead and find out if it will be more of the same for a little while longer. It would be nice if sometimes you could have a little more control over what happens to you. But then again, I guess that's what makes life what it is. It's the unknown lurking round the next corner.

So here's hoping I won't need the pause button.

2009

Oprah Winfrey once said "the only courage you'll ever need is to live the life of your dreams".

I am convinced that 2009 is the year of my dreams. I shall make it so because I have faith.

I could have written this

"Why is it that I never seem to fall on the preferable side of this quote?"

This sounds exactly like something I would write - both the quote and the entry by Design Crush.

Wallflower

I could have died, maybe I should have died
When I saw you walk inside
And as you shut the door I put my eye back on the floor
When all I really wanted was to look some more
