Be daring, be different, be impratical. Be anything that will assert imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of common-place, the slaves of the ordinary.

So I turned 30 this past Tuesday. I was in my first wreck the day before, so 29 literally went out with a bang (no big deal, someone hit us from behind at a red light….not bad though).
I have tried to make it a point the past few years to rediscover those things i loved as a kid….to embrace who i am….to learn patience….to see things clearly and not with jaded eyes. As a woman, who is single, no kids, I’ve seen the effect it seems to have on others who wonder why i’m not settling down, or they want to tell me i better hurry and have kids before it’s too late, etc etc., as if it’s the only thing to do with my life. And then there are the others that say ‘good for you’, ‘you don’t need a man’…etc etc…… None of it Matters……it just is what it is. if i meet someone, fall in love, have kids, then that is what i will do….but if i stay single, don’t have kids, travel, or not travel…that is what i will do too. I take it day by day….not waiting for what is to come. Yes i do look forward to seeing where every day takes me….but i am more content on the moments that happen in my daily life. tomorrow will get here on it’s on. i’m content with creating everyday, painting my nails funky colors, finding new ways to be creative. it’s who i am. everything else, just like tomorrow, will get here on it’s on.
