At the coming age of 25, I have experienced and encountered many different things in these past few years. Life deals all kinds of hands in this ongoing game of poker. Some have the fortunate hands that will bring them wealth and happiness beyond their dreams. But then there are those who have to deal with what is given to them. And at times the hand can be down right shitty. Loved ones both in family and friends come and then are taken by the hands of time, money is forever exchanged between work, bills, and just self joyful spending, and everyday seems to eventually start blurring in with the next. Routines are formed and eventually we start to lose sight of the goals and dreams we form in our youth.When we are young, we see the world through a simple point of view. Everything is new and exciting. There are questions to be answered and things to be discovered. As we get older and the questions get their answers and more and more things are discovered, the world then starts to become dull and predictable. The stories that once challanged our imaginations now just get small chuckles at their petty attempt to amuse "the little ones". We become consumed by our own set of rules and ways of living that everyone starts to just live life because there is nothing else to do..And we forget how life can be so exciting.Do you ever stop for a moment to just look at the water crashing on the beach? Or maybe just watch a butterfly tasting the nector from a flower in a garden? Do you ever stop to look at a child in the zoo glancing at the amazing shapes and sizes that the animals come in? I'm sure some people could say yes, but in my opinion far to many would say no. "There's no time"..."What's the reason to do such a thing?"..."Yea, I guess it's nice..". These answers are probably what one would hear when asking these questions.I am one who does all this on a regular basis. I do not take life lightly. There are still so many things out there that are just fascinating to stop and watch. Stopping for a moment and watching a flock of geese fly overhead southbound for the winter is actually amazing to me. More amazing then seeing a surprise raise in my paycheck. The look that a baby has when it sees something for the first time is also very beautiful to see. I guess many would call me simple minded, or maybe a tree hugger or just immature. But I assure you I do not believe myself to be any of these. I am merely myself. I find my own beauty and reasons for living by observing life everyday. Money of course is involved in my life as I do need a place to live and money to eat as any other person would, but that is the extent of my liking for such things.I'm not entirely sure where this way of thinking will lead me in my life but I do know one thing. Something this strong inside my soul cannot be wrong. I have tried for quite some time to put it off as a childish fantasy and something I would probably overcome as I can see many have. But here I am a mature lady and still feeling this as strong as I did when I was but 7 years old (maybe even younger). So I have made a choice to follow my way of living and continue to be who I am and to seek my place in life. I have a strange feeling I was put here for something, something only I can do. An impact only I can make. And I know continuing my way of thinking and living will surely guide me to that thing. If not then I will die knowing I never gave up...
