I need to get in to the right mindset again, and not lose sight of what my goals are. I'll share a little something with you guys. Sometimes I'm afraid of going outside. Sounds silly I know, but outside is the real world. It's where we work, it's where we can get hurt, but it's also where we live. I think I keep putting my life on hold because I'm afraid of failure or rejection, as if nothing bad can happen when I hide in my covers in my room. But who doesn't think that now and again? I'm someone who wants to fall in love but I'm more afraid of having to say goodbye one day, but that is life, right? At some point we say goodbye to places, things and eventually people. I just turned 21 at the end of January and even though I think I know a lot, but I keep finding out I know nothing at all. We know life is hard in many different ways, one thing that cheers me up and gets me motivated is reading poetry. One in poem in particular "stopping by the woods on a snowy evening" by Robert Frost. I figure we need to do what makes us most happy.
This last stanza is my favorite part:
whether its listen to music, reading poetry, working out, being creative, or spending time with family just be happy. Until tomorrow...Natalie
