Fickle

I know I'm probably ranting from a place within me. I acknowledge that the following things I say next do not apply to every single men.

But men are fickle creatures. They change their mind so quickly and become hot and cold faster than a change in Melbournian weather.

I am annoyed when the general decency and etiquette of today's men have seem to evaporate into thin air. I don't expect much considering we are friends and not that there was any interest involved but I think most men today need to be re-educated on what it's like to treat a lady.

Everyone is so involved in themselves. So inward looking. That they cease to be aware of their basic common courtesy.

To that, I say grow up.

I don't like immature boys. I prefer real gentleman who knows how to treat a lady like one.

Crashing Cars

When you dream of crashing cars and losing control of cars all week you know your subconscious is trying to tell you something is wrong. I wake up in the middle of the night with dreams of crashing cars.

Sometimes I was the driver. Sometimes I wasn't. Once I actually smashed into the truck and dreamt my arm had fractured and was almost severed. I had no control over my hands.

It was scary.

But repeated dreaming like that? That tells me something is brewing in my subconscious. But what is it that I'm losing control of?

Dreamer


I dream of a thousand things. Even as a child, my head was always in the clouds. I would gaze at the skies and marvel at the clouds, the stars, the velvet sky at night. The world would whizz by me and I was lost in my thoughts.

I dream of the ideal. I dream of the future. I dream of all the things I could possibly achieve in this life. I dream of the unattainable.

I am blessed to be here at my age and be where I am at now. But I have a desire to achieve more. People inspire me. The world inspires me. Music inspires me. Love inspires me. God inspires me.

Driven by my dreams, I put my heart and soul to achieve more than I had ever dreamt. If I could reach and touch a thousand lives... if I could change a million lives... but I am blessed to work and change one life at a time.

If I could dance throughout life. If I could make people laugh and love their life. If I could give people a life worth living for and moments to live for.

I feel like I have so much to do and yet I wish I could learn faster.

Everything starts with a dream. Then comes the passion, strength and drive to achieve it. And when you do...the dream becomes reality and you can reach for the stars and change the world.

Take A Breath

We rush about our busy lives. Appointments. Deadlines. Meetings. Emergencies.

From the moment we open our eyes to the moment our head hits the pillow at night. You feel like you've done so much for the day. And yet, you can't recall what you did.

Every step feels rushed. Time equates money. Time measures efficacy. Time the benchmark of productivity.

Life starts to pass by in a whirl. Like a gust of wind. No time to stop. From one thing on to the next. Even sleep is like a rush.

The things you love begin losing its lustre. Like a cup of coffee without its aroma. Like a basketball that has lost its bounce.

Stop. Listen. Look. Breath.

Pause. Did you hear that? That's your heartbeat.

Pause. Did you see that? Life continues even when you pause.

Pause. Did you feel that? That's what it feels to stop and breath.
