Something Fishy...Someone Unique

Hellooooo bloglings. t's been some days, but hey I'm a busy girl this summer. This summer is about experiences and boy I've had many. My therapist always reminded me to have fun and not be afraid of resting on the things I love. That's a writer's notebook page, don't forget the things I love. Each little heart bullet has something I love written beside it. A writer's notebook is really whatever you want it to be. I tend to doodle and draw a lot because it gets the creative juices flowing one way or another.

Flowing. Drifting. Boating. Nothing beats coasting down the river and catching fishies! Feast you're eyes on my two latest catch. [returned safe and sound to their river home].

Not forgetting who you are and not letting standards

and unwritten rules dictate your life path is

something I've been exploring a lot lately. I don't fit the teenage mold and quite frankly it's fine with me. I personally think the path I am taking could be the better one. High school doesn't have to be boys boys boys drama drama drama I think it's more about adjusting to change, savoring the last of childhood and figuring out who you truly are. I

wrote a piece on it. Good or bad, I'd like to share it.

The blog is called peace love writing. So I suppose

giving you a 'piece' of writing isn't a crime.

And here it tis:

Unwritten in Stone: Teen Love and Life

The teen years are "supposed" to be about being carefree and exploring all you can whilst you still have that home, those parents, that safety net. there are these unwritten sets of rules and bulleted lists of accomplishments one should seek to meet before the end of senior year. Date him, get ____, do ____, Why? There is no ancient scripture engraved in a cavern wall with these these "secrets to success". I don't feel the need to explore love or stupidity right now. I'm safe at home and it's my chance to figure myself out.Having fun is great, but finding you is helpful. If you're strong in who you are, the fun and daring doesn't end when you leave the nest...you're your own safety net. There is no over age 18 life experience must stop law. Real life, is just beginning. Who says if you haven't crossed off everything on "the ultimate high school experience list" you're doomed? I say erase the unwritten rules and figure who you are before worrying about everything and everyone else.

And there you have it. It's I guess an explanation. I don't feel like I have to date now. I don't have to experiment with drugs, or party till I drop. I don't have to be stupid. I've learned enough to know my boundaries and what's best for me. I'm beginning to shape me, for continued fun in the future...what's wrong with that? I'm happy. truly happy. And hopefully I brighten each and every fish's day when I release them back to their cool river homes, because hey...every now and again I do aim to please... just not usually ;-)
