As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

Henry David Thoreau {Things of focus lately} 1. friendships the people in my life that inspire, humor, love, and motivate me are crucial to my being. i do my very best in expressing to them daily that they hold that importance to me. but lately i have found it to be quite disheartening how others don’t reciprocate. i had such an incredible group of girls in tennessee that i really fear may never be matched. one that i could always count on taking me out for an adventure, and strong drink. she was capable of always making me laugh. another one that would give me the more motherly approach but always met my needs with creative inspiration and advice. another that was the same sort of emotional person i was, she looked on the deeper side of things, and not only did we have the same taste in a lot of things, but we were able to save one another by lessons we had both already learned. i try not to focus on it. missing them. really wanting that face to face coffee conversation. but i noticed when i am around my friends here, it just isn’t quite the same. they aren’t seeing that part of me that i must have left in tennessee.
2. who i am today i changed at some point into a much stronger and wiser version of my previous self. i found stillness and a way to cultivate quietness in my mind. i feel that i can always find something good out of even the worse situations. but i still need to work on a lot of things, really truly forgiving people, and moving forward with that. trying not to understand others actions but just love them regardless. not letting the small things that people say bother me. that is something that must be a vice of mine. i don’t hold on to it for very long, but i am a bit sensitive.

what i want to say with all of this, is that it really does a great heap of good to reflect on these things. to write them down. talk about them. and try to work on them. there seems to be no point in mindless actions and words. if you feel things {like i do, in a very strong way} then let that be a positive aura that you create and can share with others.
