I've been really happy these past two weeks to not go to school. I feel like I get so much more done when I'm doing things on my own schedule. I just want it to be finished! Maybe the reason is that I don't like many of my classes, or that I already know what I want to do after grade 12; but it feels like I'm just killing time till I get outta there. And six months is too much time to kill. Of course I'll try to make the most of the experience, blah blah blah...I think that means doing so many other things outside of school, I don't have time to think about it.

Our Greatest Fear

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant,gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
As we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Iron & Wine - Naked As We Came

She says "wake up, it's no use pretending"
I'll keep stealing, breathing her.
Birds are leaving over autumn's ending
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes 'round the yard

She says "If I leave before you, darling
Don't you waste me in the ground"
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes round the yard


It's just so good...especially if you hear it.

"See yourself as others see you, and you'll be even happier":

I really like this! That card writer is one smart cookie. It's funny how we think we know what people are thinking - or is that mostly me? - and then find out we have absolutely no idea. We're so hard on ourselves. I am because I feel so not perfect (which I'm obviously not), and it feels like one little change would make everything better. Then you get better at something else, and realize the ten other things somebody's better than you at. Vicious cycle, I tell ya! But most people don't care nearly as much as we do. Why? Because they're so concerned about what else they can do or learn. 

So what's my point here? You can figure it out.
