Words meant for me...

1.14.2010


"Go be that starving artist you're afraid to be. Open up that journal and get poetic finally. Volunteer. Suck it up and travel. You were not born here to work and pay taxes.You were put here to be a part of a vast organism to explore and create. Stop putting it off. The world has much more to offer than what's on 15 televisions at TGI Fridays. Take pictures. Scare people. Shake up the scene. "Be the change you want to see in the world."(Gandhi)"
~Jason Mraz


This speaks to every bit of me.
It is as if each word was created simply to reach my ears. 
This is exactly what I need.

  5. I love Jason Mraz.

    This makes me feel like pulling a Forrest Gump and just running.

“But it’s hard to stay mad when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once and it’s too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst. And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.” — American Beauty
