Enjoy...Love...LIVE.

Today was my first meeting for Confirmation of the Catholic church. My sponsor and I received a packet to fill out about what each other thought about each of the seven gifts of God. In my opinion, I think understanding is the most important, especially for Confirmation (for me, anyway.) Before we step into ANY situation, we must understand what exactly we are getting ourselves into. We must understand why, what, and how.

 On another note my sponsor (my amazing Godmother) and I also talked about how people have no respect and wonder of the world anymore. Everyone takes things for granted. They never truly stop to smell the roses, they never LIVE!
I know you've probably heard this a million times, but COME. ON. You're kidding yourself if you think your life is crap. Because it's not. You have the power in yourself to entertain yourself (without meaningless technology), to make yourself happy, and be whatever and whoever you want to be.

 We talked about how great big amazing marble buildings that are still standing today were made by people sooooooo long ago. Back when people still cared about the life around them, and used their resources without taking them for granted.  Life needs to be nourished, loved, taken into account.

Because life can go by really fast, if all you're doing is working and doing errands for stupid reasons. If you're the kind of person that goes out for dinner a lot, or picks up food in the drivethrus, then, well, I feel sorry for you. (another thing I need help with-- understanding people that take life for granted.) Why don't you make a nice homemade meal and sit down with your family?
Turn the TV off. Turn the lights off, for heavensake! Light some candels!
And just talk with each other.

 Take a time machine back into "the day" and see how families used to be. Very similar, but also very different.

 No one lives anymore.
No one cares anymore.
People, OPEN YOUR EYES TO THIS WONDERFUL THING GOD HAS CREATED CALLED "LIFE"!
It might not last long, if that's what God has intended. So embrace it while you can, enjoy it, love it!! Take it INTO account, and don't push it away saying it "sucks" or "fml". Because honestly, you don't have it bad. At all.
Come on people, live a little. Enjoy the roses. Smell them. Touch them. Feel the rain. Feel the sun.

Sleepy Ramblings Regarding Strange Habits of Mine

I had this realization recently that I've been walking through life on my tiptoes. Literally and figuratively. I thought it was only something I did when I was little, something that disappeared when I got older. But that didn't seem to be the case. Along with using an incredibly passive voice quite frequently ( ha ha ), I continued tip-toeing around the house and it completely escaped my notice until my mom pointed it out to me. Then it began bothering me. I began noticing other strange habits of mine... For instance: biting my lips till they're rather raw, bouncing my feet while sitting, chewing my nails in my sleep ( though that usually only happens when I'm super stressed )... There's probably more. And they annoy me to no avail. I made a plan recently ( or perhaps a feeble attempt ) to stop some/all of these ridiculous habits. Especially the tip toe thing. I'm going to start walking heel-toe again. And then I thought: you know what? I nee

Domenica | a poem

  Venice is paradise in summer: Lovers lay in gondolas under a lemon sun, sprawling on top of embroidered pillows and celestial dreams. Stress undresses itself on the boardwalk, leaving nothing but relaxed Venetians, who know better than to mask nature’s path. Domenica Rosa, you were there once, weren’t you? As a child, perhaps, exploring the damp stones with your violet eyes and young bones. And were you delighted? Or perhaps, like me, you kept your soul at home, safe and sound from wet ground and deep inside a catacomb carved by kitchen knives. Even so, Domenica, dear grandmother goddess of stars, stripes and pizzelles, listen to me. Hear my voice and embrace me again, for I must learn how to be as you once were: A mother weathered well for loving, a lover lost but never abandoned, a woman like Auntie Mame, with a tasteful tongue for storytelling, wrapped in nostalgia.

Socks | poem

For our birthdays, we exchanged socks like promises: I’ll protect you if you protect me . But we hated confinement, so often, we shed our socks and raced through hallways, puddles, rivers — more than common ground. We broke free of simplicity—spilled over walls like nail polish, screamed like firing guns, and ate our fill of rainclouds. For your birthday, I wear your socks, slip, fall, and think: I’ll get up for you if you get up for me.
