Love, Laugh, and Live (a possible title for my Book)
Well, here I am, it's a new week for me. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to say here, because there are too many things going through my head. I have a headache as well. I would like to just go to bed, and wake up to find that everything is nice and dandy. That won't be the case, though. I'm all signed up for classes this summer at SLCC, and I'm stoked for those. I'll be taking dance, fitness, and a few science classes that I need for my fitness degree. I'm so glad that summer school is IN STATE tuition, cuz I'm still paying out of state fees right now. Ugh.
So, Austyn has just told me that he has given up on his fitness goals. That is
just what I needed right now. He goes through the same cycle every week or so. He tries to do something, he keeps on trying, then he suddenly stops trying and feels worse than before. This is such a difficult thing for a friend to see. I want him to see himself the way I see him; he needs to find his self respect again. He had so much of it when we met, and now it has evaporated.
Okay, enough ranting about my roommate. I start with DiscoverCard on May 3rd. I hope to be an extra in the Disney movie, "Halloweentown III." I'm also still calling Everwood to be an extra there, but extra work isn't what I want to do. I want to be in commercial work; I want to be onstage. Ultimately, I want to sing. I'm still working on my CD, and that will be coming along shortly.
Anyway, I've been typing here and I still haven't come to a conclusion of what it is I want to say. What is it that I, as an individual, want to say to the world? (Or, the three people who read this...?) The first thing I want to say to everyone is
love yourself first. You will never be able to love others, or feel the love others have for you, if you cannot love yourself. Reread that sentence if you didn't get it the first time. Love is the ultimate power. Love can be found anywhere, but you must first recognize love within yourself to be able to see it elsewhere.
The second thing I want to say to the world is to
laugh. Find that happiness, that joy, that the world has to offer you. Smile at someone, and share that joy. Watch your favorite, silly movie with someone you care about. Read the comics. (I keep a selection of comic books next to my toilet for visitors to scan through while they, uhm, visit...) Watch old reruns on Nick at Night; they are classics.
The third and final item I wish to share...is to
live. Do yoga. Meditate. Share your life with someone. Get out of your apartment, your house, or your comfort zone and meet people. Find out one new thing about someone you care about. Share your own story with those around you. I do not see the bus loaded with strangers; I see the bus loaded with friends I have not yet become acquainted with. Do you see what I mean?
I'll write more on these three subjects later on. It's nearing eleven o'clock at night, and tomorrow is a full day for me. So, till next time...
