So yes, I have completely lost myself. Well, not exactly, but lately life has just been a blur. School, school. Sports, Sports, Sports. Music, Music, Music. Meanwhile, I'm neglecting the thing I love the most, and that is writing. Lately, I've lacked in my concentration, due to the fact that I just can't seem to recover from my cold! Also, the fact that I don't want to disappear completely off the earth damaging my social life. I'm sure the majority of people can see where I'm coming from and know exactly how I feel. One positive though: it was my birthday Saturday! It's also the Holiday season. This year I don't want to let it pass. This season was my life when I was younger, the joy all around me. The way the cruelest of people allowed a smirk to shine through their darkness. I was elated, even though it was just one month, it lingered through me until the next holiday season! That's why I'm very thankful my birthday marks the beginning of it, but I'm not even going to touch on that since my birthday is the least important one this month. Anyway, it seems like life takes away from everything. The demands of people, and quite frankly the demands of work and obliging things scattered throughout our lives make it so difficult to truly appreciate the season and all the lesson it teaches. Today, I remembered the lesson of hope reinstated during this season. How we wait for that one day, or that one week, of celebration of everything that defines us as people. I also never forget the lesson of giving this season instills in us all. Sure, we do kind things throughout the year, but this specific time makes room for all of us to do something good. We do whatever we can allow, whether we give away old clothes, put our spare change in the Salvation Army buckets, or just smile at our neighbors; on a whole we possess much more hospitality.
I sometimes wonder why all year can't be like this, but that's asking for too much. As humans, our capability to be excessively kind every moment of our lives is low. It's almost impossible due to all the temptations around us, but somehow, the month of December unites us together, resisting those temptations, so we can just be happy. So we can just smile. Though, it would be stupendous to have that feeling all year long, all we can ask is that we are given the chance to experience it for one month. We need to cherish it, and appreciate it, and not let it pass us by. When beautiful opportunities are given to us, we should take them, especially when it gives us the need to celebrate!
Okay so that was my little holiday segment, let me update you on my week. James Franco, that's all I have to say. That man is so driven and participates in numerous activities. He truly is one of my biggest inspirations currently alive. I've been watching so many interviews of his and reading them as well, he's so assertive and articulate and yet enjoyable to listen to. Besides for that, he accomplishes what he sets his mind to. He's so driven and that's one of my goals. I want to be someone, not just anyone. I've never been the person to do the average, but go beyond. (Well, not in everything because some things I just really can't do: singing and drawing for example.) My point of mentioning James is that he helps me see what path I want to travel and who I want to become. Now, since I'm recently one year older, I need to get a move on it!
Tomorrow, I will be posting! Promise. Already have my idea:) It's about falling! Oh, and this month I have a Christmas poem prepared and for everyone not celebrating Christmas, I hope your holiday is filled with love and happiness as well! Best wishes and have a wonderful day, sorry for my unnecessary rants, but hey, at least I'm writing!
