I was a little girl who spent her time searching for rolly pollies in the front yard... I always wore dresses... and had long curly hair.. .My daddy was my hero and Astro-Boy was my best-friend.
Nothing has really changed, except the rolly pollies are harder to find and my hair isnt always curly.
You buy things and you keep them clean. You take care of them. Keep them in a special pocket. Away from keys and coins. Away from other things that should be kept clean and taken care of as well. Then they get scratched. And scratched again. And again. And again. And again. Soon, you don't care about them anymore. You don't keep them in a special pocket. You throw them in the bag with everything else. They've surpassed their form and become nothing but function. People are like that. You meet them and keep them clean. In a special pocket. And then you start to scratch them. Not on purpose. Sometimes you just drop them by accident or forget which pocket they're in. But after the first scratch, it's all downhill from there. You see past their form. They become function. They are a purpose. Only their essence remains.
I was thinking about it this morning and I realised that…I think friends are like mascara. There are some that open your eyes. Some that run when you cry. Some that you cant open, no matter how hard to try. Some that clump up but you cant manage to throw them away and they sit in your bottom draw. And no matter what, you always end up back at that trusty brand that your mother told you was reliable from the very beginning. We all need people.. we just need to find the brand that brings out your best features.. xo
My name means strength. I was raised by gypsies. I am the granddaughter of pastors. I have a great love for my family. I miss growing up, but not enough to do it again. I often wish i were living in a different country....often as in yesterday, today and most likely tomorrow. I like meeting people...90% of the time. i quickly get bored with small talk. I like making people laugh but I truly appreciate when they take me seriously. I like sleeping outside. I value deep relationships. I desire integrity. I want to know what it means to be fully alive. I admire those who already know. I love the word freedom. I pray for courage. I hate complacency. This is merely a page of my random, heart-felt ramblings. I am not perfect, but rather on a journey....a journey of life.
