Goooooooaaaaaaallllllll!!!!!!!

That's what I wanna hear when I've achieved something on my list. Maybe I'll make it a sound bite on my phone or something. Woke up on time. Goooaaaaaaalllll!!!!

Brushed teeth. Goooooooaaaaaallllll!!!!!!

Got to work on time!  Gooooaaaaaaallllll!!!!!

But seriously, I've been fighting myself from writing down or truly identifying  my short and long term goals. Now, normally, this isn't an issue. I'm a master of completing something if I set my mind to it, so maybe that's the real problem. I'm lazy and scared and worried that this time I'll fail. Ugh. Ugly thought, right?

The world isn't bad. It just is.

Today, I reposted this on my fb wall and someone said "white people problems". Of course, I kindly reminded them that I am not, in fact, white (although, I admit, I sometimes forget. lol). But it brings up a subject that keeps coming up: We are over privileged, self indulgent and an entitled bunch of #$*#-ers. Well, okay, that's one take on it....

Perhaps it's naive to view the world the way I do, but I can't help it.  I do see what my friends see, but I don't believe that it can't be changed or that people are inhuman. I see acts of kindness everywhere I go. I am constantly inspired by those around me.

Okay, so it's been a while since I've blogged. Sorry. Is anyone reading this?! Hi mom.Let's see... For the past few months, things have been both busy and extremely boring and that being the case, I decided to start a video blog... IN JULY! And now it's November  and I still haven't posted anything yet. Sigh. (UPDATE: Lost this post way back when, and after I wrote this, I did it! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/runlourun] Yay!) Which brings me to the topic at hand.

How I figure stuff out:

The Luxury of Choice.

I haven't blogged in a while. It's not that I haven't had anything to write about or that I haven't had the time. The truth is is that my life went into transition and I wasn't ready to talk about much of anything until things settled down. Here is a tiny excerpt from my first blog which kinda gives you an idea of where this all began: "I had to say goodbye to the AD (assistant director in the film/tv industry in Vancouver) world. I was no longer an AD. I was scared to acknowledge that the career that I had known my entire adult life was finished. I hated that all I had worked up to until now was over. They say that over the course of your life, you’ll change your career 5 times. I don’t know who “they” are, but they forgot to mention how scary and emotionally hard it would be."

No matter how hard it gets, life really is awesome.

No matter how hard it gets, life really is awesome.

Everyone has a story.   Everyone has obstacles to overcome.

Everyone can only feel what they feel.

And everyone copes in their own way.

No two people feel the exact same thing, but there is a universal core to all of us, and it is this core that makes us laugh at the same things, cry at the same thing, and share and understand both suffering and joy
