It's Kinda Cool Here

You know, I wouldn't mind living here in Virginia, as it is time to spread my wings and fly. I kinda like being homeless, it's really freeing. I guess the biggest thing was losing my utter sense of living up to other's expectations.

I mean, it's like a whole new prospective,, not having to live up to other's expectations. I am certain that in life the most important things we do are for ourselves,, yet we mostly like to do things that give us status or standing in a certain community in which we want to belong.

Now I ain't a genius, but it seems to me that once you loose that "status" of having to fit in or live up to some one's standards, you become free. I mean, if you really think that money and a certain car or temporary housing location will make you a better person or "catch" the person of your object's desire,, you're crazier than me.

I normally don't like to preach, but I can tell you this,, losing a home is not the end of the world,, it's the beginning of a new life. One that can only be appreciated with a healthy outlook. A life changing event of one sort or another is important to achieve happiness. One that completely strips your old life style away from you and changes it drastically is one that makes you a more complete person. It requires you to seriously examine you.

I am certain that each time I examine myself,, I learn more about my life and my relationships with others. I learn that I am liked by some people and not by others, and I'm okay with that. I feel important when I am alone sitting in my pain, or standing in my joy and I'm comfortable with that.

I guess what I'm saying is this,, if you live your life for others,, you'll never live it for yourself. Have a nice day and remember,,, life is an adventure, choose wisely and learn from your experiences. It's not the experiences in life that are important,, it's the lessons you learn from them.
