Claiming Confidence

Confidence is something that resides in your breath. It clings on the tip of every exhale. It is the sweet scent the lingers in the air between speech. It is the forceful wind that delivers words into others minds. It gives air to the sails of ones ideas.

All thoughts take flight with the air of confidence beneath their wings.

Confidence is that Jen ne sais quios that allows you to speak your mind with strength and elegance.

Principles and Parties

The words that rest upon my mind are the words that are meant to be spoken. The ideas that float in the recesses of my head are the ideas that are meant to be shared. The thoughts that cross my mind are the thoughts that are meant to be expressed.
I refuse to allow the ideologies and feeling of others to shape my actions. The only thing I have power over are my own actions and that is not something I will give up easily.

On another note i will be experiencing a different culture tonight. One that it full of grass skirts, styrofoam flowers and big hair. Of course im talking about those crazy Hawaiian's. There will be coconut bras and shaking booties everywhere and I will enjoy it. It is my classy on campus strip joint ;)
Then this week only brings on more promises of festivities and fun. Let's just hope that reality can live up to expectations of this 4th week of April.

Restless Relations

Is there someone out there for everyone?

There are always stories told of true love, prince charming, and soul mates; most of these stories begin with once upon a time.

What about my time?

Everywhere I look relationships are flawed. Most are made on a foundation of fear; a fear to be alone. Relationships made out of desperation to not be the person watching lifetime movies with a pint of chocolate ice cream on a lonely Friday night.

But instead of settling for the average joe should we wait for our fairy tale ending? Should we keep looking and searching for prince charming, for our soul mates? How can anyone pass on every one because they are waiting for the ever illusive soul mate? But at the same time how can someone settle for a life with someone who is less than perfect for them?

In this world all I can see is mildly happy people, with mildly satisfying relationships, and mildly fulfilling lives.

I want to end the cycle. I want to live much more than a mildly satisfying life and I want to have a vibrant, vivacious, and exciting relationship whenever an opportunity arises. I wont wait around for a prince charming, however when and if i do settle for any life time relationship I refuse to even settle for a mildly satisfying relationship with a mildly interesting companion.

What will you do when you have to choose?
