I am who I want to be when I grow up

Keywords: Community , Family

I want to be kind, caring of others, not entirely focused on myself. I want to be a person who knows Jesus and the scriptures, who has a desire to lead others in their discovery of Him. I want to be a person who cares about the environment, and politics, and upcycled furniture, and flowers in the garden, who enjoys the world God created. I want to be a person who is generous with his time, knowing that all that we have is a stewardship and not owned by us.

I’m thinking in the village and cottage I’d want a major project to work on as I would have the time

I’m trying to live with fewer regrets so renting a cottage filled this void. Something I had never done before so try it. There is nothing to lose. Well, I had a relaxing week of reading, painting, sitting on the deck doing nothing and walking the beach. I enjoyed it. I needed it. This was not what I was expecting but hello what I needed.

Now it is time to share my life and to enjoy the beauty that is romantic partnership

We don’t have the answers and we never will, but we will be okay. We have to be comfortable living in the questions because there are some questions that will never be answered. I may never reach my dream, and that makes me sad. But does that mean my life doesn’t have meaning or purpose? Of course not. We make meaning and purpose with every interaction we have with others and with our art, our poetry, our music, and our contributions to society…even through our mundane jobs and our relationships. Our purpose is whatever we make it. Our legacy is in every single way we relate to the world…through relationships with people, through conservation, through our perspectives both experienced and shared. I think I am ready to stop trying so hard to make an impact and, rather, start living, traveling, interacting, loving, and just being. I’ll never not be an intellectual; it’s who I am. I will never stop contemplating the big questions or trying to problem-solve the big issues we face, but I don’t need to constantly produce something. It is enough just to exist…to breathe…to be grateful…and to rest.

The activities or hobbies which we do make time precious

So, yesterday my husband and I talked about my hobbies and that I can’t sit down and just do one of them for 30 minutes. I like having at least one hour for it. He said that he would like to see me sitting down and surprise him what I would do. Because of that, I thought I blog about them and face how time consuming hobbies I really have. 🙂

I want to go out knowing I couldn’t have done any more

In the early years of my 20s, I started to learn that money doesn’t necessarily make us happy. I know, I know there’s a lot of talk about this. I mean, at the end of the day, we all need money to do our thing, right? But, what I’m trying to say here is that, I’ve realized that during the hours I’ve spent stressing about how I’m not achieving those life goals that society tells us we should’ve reached by now, I’ve missed out on living. I could’ve made so many more memories and probably been a lot happier if I chased joy instead, if I choose my version of success to be how many times I’ve laughed this week, if I counted experience in the same way I do money, or if I climbed a mountain with the same eagerness as the career ladder. There’s a whole world to discover outside of those boundaries we’ve set for ourselves!

Not only do I want a good pay, but I would also like to enjoy whatever I want to do

Keywords: {0}

Many people have jobs they don’t want or they don’t enjoy. I want myself liking my profession in the future. I’d want to have a long-term career rather than a temporary position. I believe that having a good stable career is an important factor in build a life for myself. A stable job will ensure that I have all of the luxuries I desire in life without a struggle. One of the most crucial aspects of my future is finding a job that I enjoy.

I want to fully enjoy things that I’ve put off in a while before anything weird happens to the world again

Keywords: Enjoying Life

I want to start documenting nice places and experiences again. I want to remember them as much as I can. I want to hold on to happy memories and always choose to think of positive things. I’m a firm believer in the law of attraction so I don’t want my mind to dwell on negative things. Doing that requires a lot of practice and discipline though.

If you only knew how much I honestly believed that I was selfish for wanting those things for myself

Keywords: {0}

That I was ungrateful for wanting more than I had. That I felt like what people needed from me trumped what I needed for myself. It sounds crazy to write it now, but it is honestly how I felt, and absolutely how I acted and those beliefs and actions led me to a very lack-luster, unfulfilled life.

I want to be back where, once upon a time, the previous “me” used to be

Keywords: Stories of my life – some , coping , grief journey , joy , loss

The “me” in this photo is almost the “me” before my parents died. This “me” is the one who almost always had an inner joy. Even on the darkest day, this “me” could talk myself out of despair. The current me is “walking a narrow path through the loss………taking sips of sorrow…..” as Julia Alvarez says in her beautiful novel Afterlife.
