A letter written by Marilyn Monroe to her ex-husband, Joe DiMaggio:

“Dear Joe,
If I can only succeed in making you happy — I will have succeeded in the bigest and most difficult thing there is — that is to make one person completely happy. Your happiness means my happiness.”

The best friends are the ones that after only a year you don’t know what your life will be like without them. The best friends don’t judge you for any of the stupid things you say. Great friendships begin with “You wear kids shoes too!? Let’s be friends.”

A true soul mate is…:

“A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.” ~Elizabeth Gilbert

I am going to do what is called a “free write”, because I am avoiding both homework and cleaning my apartment…at this point I am not sure which activity I loath more.

Basically in free writing, you put ideas down without really stoping to think, just getting them out. No going back and no rewrites, just yet at least.

It is a great tool for writers, aspiring or professional, but I find that it can also be a good technique in stress relief, you just get out what is on your mind in one continuous-ish stream.

Did you know that apparently Walt Disney’s last written words were “Kurt Russel” and not even Kurt Russel knows why? Could you imagine, having someone’s last efforts of writing something down being your name and having no idea why? What if there was something important they wanted you to do? But now I am getting into the realm of the movies, where rich old dying man utters your name in his dying breaths and now you are to spend the rest of the two hours trying to solve the mysteries of why, uncovering deep dark secrets and treasures.

On a completely unrelated note, I am supposed to be getting my third tattoo next week and I am excited for it, and I want it, I really do. I think. But I am afraid of what people will think of it. Which is a fear that basically ruins everyday of my godforesaken life, what will this person think if I do this, if I don’t do this…my brain likes to torment me into thinking that the whole wide world (meaning those who I associate with and actually give a shit what they think of me) is judging everything I do, and it is never good enough. I want to get a small puzzle piece on my wrist, with words down the side saying “en cherchant” meaning seeking or looking. Why? Because a) I think it is cool b) because I have always wanted a tattoo on my wrist but could never decide on what c) because I have been perpetually single and would love to actually find someone who loves me for me d) because not only am I seeking “the one” so to speak, but I believe that at all points in our lives we are always looking for something, for that missing piece to fill a gap in our lives, and we all just need to realize that that missing piece is with us all the time, we just need to look in ourselves to find it. Now I am sound all philosophical…but moral of the story is, that is what I want, and that is my reasoning why, but I am so afraid people will think it is dumb.

Why does it matter what people think? I guess right? If I like it, I like it. Damn you selfworth, or lack there of, damn you!

Anyways enough with my current self loathing, this has been an example of a free write, a true free write, with no prompt no topic just what is currently on my mind at this exact moment in time.

You can do more structured free writes where you pick a topic, maybe you want to explore ideas for a story, and then you just set your mind to writing down all of the ideas that you have, without stopping.

My apologies for my abismal grammar and punctuation.

Now to do my dishes…

Dance with me

Come dance with me

like no one sees.

Take my hand,

I’ll take the lead.

Listen to the song,

that no one else hears.

I see you sway,

your feet start to move.

So come dance with me

the stage is cleared.

Don’t be afraid.

To get the steps wrong.

Some days I have

two left feet,

yet still I dance.

So come be a fool

And we’ll dance away

our silly dance.

Take my hand,

I’ll set you free.

Silent Breath

Silence;

In its breaths,

The breeze.

In and out.

Cool, gentle.

Breathe it in,

Let it fill you.

Peace;

In its pulse,

The rain.

Steady beats.

Clean, awakening.

Stand in it,

Let it cascade over you.

Faith;

In its thoughts,

The people.

Deep and wondering.

Strong, united.

Talk to them,

Let them teach you.

Patience;

In its stride,

The world.

Strong and steady.

Growing, turning.

Wait for it,

Let it guide you.

Silence;

Finally exhale,

Let it escape you.

I am who I am, what else could I be…

I am a 21 year old university student. I aspire to be a writer and maybe a kindergarden teacher. I am told I am one of those people you either love or you hate. I am a dreamer who believes in happy endings…I just haven’t found mine yet. I love to dance and paint and write and act. I love anything and everything creative.

I can be annoying, I can talk too loud and sometimes too much, other times I don’t talk at all. I act before I think and I say what ever is on my mind. I am not the most confident person and I’ve had my share of hard times, but I am fiercely loyal and love my friends more than anything. I try to learn from all the bad and appreciate all the good in life.

and that’s all for now, but I am sure there will be more to come :)
