I spend too much time thinking with my eyes open, I need to feel the world rather than see it.
This is my advise to myself...feel don't see. I suppose I can share it with everyone else. Maybe then everyone will be a little kinder to the elderly woman sitting next to them who drops her newspaper, or the person trying to hold open a gate and get their bike through at the same time, or maybe just maybe people will begin to say thank you...and mean it. We live in a busy world...a self focused world. I know there are people around me hurting, I mean truly hurting, yet i continue to focus on the pettiness that surrounds my life. I know that a simple kind word can make a person's day better, or a hug that makes a person cry can change their life.
There are so many people in my life that have changed me. As I sit and write tonight, that sole tear streams down my cheek, because i live a blessed life. I hope those of you reading can learn with me to become part of something bigger. Something Deeper.
I have a challenge for all of you, myself too. For one week-7 days write daily, anything...something...just let it be your own words. I don't care what it is you write. but when you do write, allow nothing to stop your flow. So many times I sit to write and I edit my thoughts. I silence myself. Don't let that constant judging attack you when you should be most comfortable with yourself. I will do all of this with you, and I will post it here. Lets do a little self discovery together. if you are feeling brave, even just for a split second share what you think...all judgment will be put aside. If you are uncomfortable doing so that's ok too, sometimes its necessary to hide your thoughts from the world, just don't hide them from yourself anymore.
I hope that by doing this, I find a better part of me buried inside, one that is able to look beyond my outer distractions and truly feel the world around me. But more so...I hope someone does this with me, and they find what they've been missing.
Love. Peace. Silence. Belief.

I know what you mean by the whole..like..busy world. It seems like everyone has a place to be and they need to get there in a hurry. And we don't even realize how many people pass by us every day. I bet 90% of the people I see going to class every day I wouldn't recognize if I was required to.
I guess my way of dealing with something like that is that..when I see an opportunity to make someone's day even a little bit easier, I try to do it. So a girl dropped a napkin when going back to put her plates away. I picked it up. It's nothing big, but it's a small act of selfless kindness (wow it sounds like I'm bragging..I'm not haha..)
Because when people do random acts of kindness for me, I really appreciate it.
And the 7 day writing thing?
I think I will do that...
