Life is an interesting journey. You fall you get up and then you fall in love, only to have your heart broken. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. My life is an interesting journey, I must admit. People are intrigued by me or maybe they are just intrigued by my mind because they think I am bat shit crazy but I am not crazy at all I just have a beautiful intrinsic mind that sees beauty in all things. My life has led me down some pretty interesting paths, ask my family they have literally sent search parties after me. On the good days I have met movie stars, on the bad days I have met bums. However each person regardless of socioeconomic status has each touched my life in a special way because I have learned to looked inside to see each person's soul. I don't judge a person by the way they look I judge them for what is inside. Most people in society judge people by what they see on the outside but not me, not little ole 500 days of sweet Summer. Living in Vegas has jaded me. Everyone thinks that they are special or they have more money than you. They say their parents own this or they own that. Come on give me a break I don't really care I have heard it all. I have also pretty much seen it all. Nothing really phases me at this point in my journey. Superficiality has seen it's day in my reality which is truly a beautiful thing. I no longer chase the green to no avail. Ok fine I still chase the green because I am not perfect but I am getting better. In any case chasing the green leads to a path unseen. It goes no where it never ends because you will never be happy you will want more and more and more money. People wake up the only true happiness is internal happiness. Money gives you fleeting blissful moments it's never sustainable. I come from a middle class family that has broken into to the upper class realms within the last couple years, we live quite comfortably and people are amazed when they walk within our household and they are even more amazed when they see our literal breath taking back yard. We have a cookie cutter suburban yard and a magazine worthy view of the entire city of Las Vegas. My parents have worked hard to have everything that they have and I am not entitled to anything. I have to remember this simple fact when I get this sense of entitlement that many bratty kids get. Humility is the only trait that is proven to counter balance the brat syndrome. In any case I am beginning to take my own journey in life without my parents. In fact I don't want a dime from them I would prefer to take this chapter in my life without any help at all. I want to earn everything on my own because I enjoy the hard work and the effort and the gratification that comes along with that. I don't want people to look at me and think, oh her parents contributed to her position in life. I want them to look at me and think she earned her position in life. In fact I frown upon those who don't understand the meaning of poverty, those who have never struggled or searched for pennies in a couch cushion to eat or survived off of top ramen. Times like these truly build character in an individual. I have lived times like these and in fact I have even lived less glamorous times. However it is neither here nor there because I am learning and living each day and I am growing into a stronger more intelligent woman through these struggles. I am a spiritual ninja learning tools like a warrior. Life is a struggle but with the proper lessons and wisdom life is a breeze. It's important to listen in life hear to these lessons. Quiet your mind long enough just as you would quiet your mind to hear the breeze among the trees. Until next time make a conscious effort to listen more and talk less you will be amazed at the transformation this simple method will have upon your life.
