I saw these two blog posts ideas that I'm combining in this post, so here I go... We never stop developing, as far as personal growth is concerned. Yet, I find myself forgetting this pivotal awareness, even though it's a "live" event we encounter daily, and even though I've written a million blogs on it. I actively try to "ignore" this, all the while subconsciously knowing that we will undergo incessant changes until the day we die, I suppose . So, a "lesson" I repeatedly have to learn is mindful awareness as I remind myself to be patient with myself and the timing of things. I have to anticipate that pain and other emotions are there for me to confront and to resolve. I also have to realize that others are unassuming of my internal process (unless we've discussed it personally) and they are going to be who they are while I do that. The first blog idea, "what things have you learned from your parents?", and I always hone in on how my parents told me to be the best "whatever" I wanted to be and BE that. Their example, in action, was that should I choose to be a maid then be the BEST maid I could possibly be. Not to say I should never aim higher but for me to be my "optimal" self in all endeavors. I consciously practice that in my life daily (cue the word 'Meraki'). However, I've only achieved it in bits and my goal is to accomplish this wholly; I will forever be my own guinea pig. I am patiently bringing some of that love and that light back into myself and creeping out of that dark, empty space I've settled into. This leads into the 2nd blog idea I liked (What are some things that most people don't know about you?) and there's actually A LOT people still don't know (understand) about me, no matter how much they BELIEVE otherwise. The only being who knows me exclusively is GOD and others have only begun to scratch the surface with what they know/see but more uncharted depth exists. As humans, we are both simple and intricate individuals and I'm no exception no matter how transparent I may seem. Just know this: I know more than I say; I'm simple but not minded, I'm not impressed by materialistic things (i.e. shopping trips, flashing your wads of money, etc.. is not the way to my heart), and I create my own source of happiness and NO ONE ELSE (that's actually a whole other blog I need to make but you catch my drift). I know these are "simple" things that people probably do know already but I stated them specifically because those are my outward focal points right now. Well, there it is.

About the AuthorI got the idea to create a blog in December 2014 on a random type of day.Writing has always been therapeutic; the only way I could communicate clearly, in actual words instead of struggling to unscramble the swirl of images, metaphors & analogies that is my thought process.
