Life Lessons

awakeninspiration — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 04:51:57 +0000

Life lessons aren’t always easy to learn, but they aren’t always hard either.
Some lessons can be really fun, or funny, but some can be serious.
So here’s a few that I’ve learned through my short-lived life.

Antiseptics will make your lips very numb if applied.
Yoga pants are amazing.
So is yoga.
Wearing extensions makes your hair seem to grow faster.
To many salt & vinegar chips will burn your tongue.
Sometimes life can be too much.
Nothing good in life comes easy (which is how it should be).
Drama is entirely unnecessary.
Skin tight clothes are unflattering.
Intro, and outro music on movies and TV shows are rarely the same volume as the show itself.
Pistachios are amazing, chili pistachios are even more amazing.
Love is not necessarily instantaneous.
Lip gloss is unnecessary, chap stick however is.
Eating healthy is a simple choice, but somehow one of the hardest choices in life.
Laziness is a curse.
Once you go Mac, you never go back.
Being ‘un-mainstream’ is becoming to mainstream.
Winters are cruel.
Coffee is miraculous.
Everything in life is entertaining if you look at it the right way.

Rice

The other day I was doing some decorating in my apartment.
I was working on putting rice into an old Champagne bottle,
I was only able to put a few grains in at a time which was a fairly tedious task.
While working on my project I had more than enough time to think.
Mainly about life, and how each of us are our own champagne bottles,
Each little experience in life is like one of those grains of rice.
Slowly but surely filling our lives with all types of experiences good, and bad.
Sometimes life seems to go by slowly,
but if it went by to quickly we would surely miss out on experiences,
and moments to ponder.

Innocnence

Innocence.
At what point do we lose ours?
And in what way is innocence considered lost?
Our we fully lost once we lose our innocence?
Or can we gain it back?
Is it bad to lose some of our innocence,
Isn’t that what makes us wiser and ready for the road ahead of us…

Not All About Me

awakeninspiration — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:01:15 +0000

If it’s all about me,
I don’t want it.
I haven’t the ego
It would need.

I’d rather share what
Little I have
With anyone who
May ask it of me.

Nothing that I have
Is really mine to own.
I am merely here.

How does one know

How does one know they’re with ‘The One’?
Is it the racing of your heart when you think of them?
Or the way it seems to stop when their in the room?
Could it be that when your with them everything is complete, and right with the world?
How about the way they seem to know you better than you even know yourself?
Would it be fair to say it could be all combined?

A Look of Love

awakeninspiration — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:34:40 +0000

A look of love,
A gentle touch.
Takes but a moment of your time.
That’s all that is needed to make another feel wanted and loved.
To hold and care shows you know their there,
And worthy of your time.
Without daily care the spirit may grow faint.
And all but disappear right before your eyes.
Be tender and nurture the love you have before you,
Before you forget its existence.
Tender care, and love heals all,
So do not miss the call of the love that feels small and forgot.

Mid Winter Blues.

awakeninspiration — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 05:21:07 +0000

My heart beats to the rhythm of the sun.
The warmth rushes through my veins.
Keeping my pulse at a steady rhythmic pace.
Energy flowing through me, as the warmth drifts over my soul,
Wakening something deep inside.
Reminding me of life outside winters snow.
Helping shake the mid winter blues.

Sorry Guys

I am feeling absolutely horrible at how lacking I have become in the posting department.
I’m needing to find a way to ‘awaken my inspiration’… But I’m in the middle of my winter blues.
I also think not making a daily post isn’t helping me at all. Along with the fact that I’m not writing in my inspiring notebook.
I’ve had my eye on these gel pens. Maybe those will help?
We’ll see what happens but I need to add some political/insightful/deep inspiring thinking time.
I have goals, that I need to carry out so I need to stop being lazy, tired, and unmotivated.
Must. Become. Inspired. Gah.

My daddy and I.

awakeninspiration — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 04:20:31 +0000

My daddy and I are too much alike.
The way we think, and the way we act, are mirror images of each other.
Our time spent together is very special.
Now don’t get me wrong I adore my momma, and we share the same smile.
But there’s something so unique about my daddy and I.
We used to go for drives in his two-seater car out to a little gas station/mini mart,
Where they had ice cream cones with little eyeballs.
When you have four other siblings dates didn’t happen all that often.
But that’s what made it so special, and memorable.
Those were our special moments.
Moments full of talking, laughing, joking around.
Having fun together.
My daddy and I.

White Out

To be unable to see through the blanket of snow is a humbling moment in time.
When you don’t know what is happening right in front of you,
You need to have a little faith.
Knowing that nothing in front of you is certain.
Causes one to stop, and think of their mortality.
Nature at it’s best and worst is unexplainable.
A force one should never mess with.
Yet the perfect description of beauty.
