Where do you belong?

Theme song for this post~ Ramones, Outsider

Do you ever have phases in your life where you can't really tell where you fit in? It's like you're just floating on a breeze and anyone that you land beside doesn't seem to "get you"? I'm going through that again, right now. I have a lot of friends and family, but sometimes I feel overextended and like I can't just find peace of mind with someone for a little while.

Basically, there's times when I just want to "be" and don't know what I should say or do or who to say or do it with... It's like you just wanna relax and be yourself, but even with a million friends, it's like you sometimes feel like you don't have a place to fall when you wanna "find zero". I've been saying that for years and years--"find zero"--it's something that I say when I want to reach that incredible feeling of peace that we all get when we feel content in where we are and in what we're doing; it's really not that easy to find and keep, so I enjoy it when I arrive there... at zero.

the big question
How do you manage to fit all of the different qualities of yourself--your interests/hobbies-- into your life and friendships? Do you have a small circle of friends that just "get" you or do you have different groups of friends or maybe social media outlets for finding those niche groups for sharing the different interests of yours?

Do you think it's possible that when we feel so "out of place," that we're really just having trouble navigating our own mind and we are, in fact, not out of place at all? Maybe, people actually want to talk to us about whatever even though we think they wouldn't care...? Maybe, I need to spend more time meditating and/or creatively. I think I think too much and put too much pressure on myself. #introvertprobs

Thankful for knowing people like this (in the photo)

Quotes About Life and Love

I love quotes and sayings. Sometimes, you find the perfect ones to fit your life or thoughts and it's really satisfying. I think I'll start adding more of my favorites to my blog. Hope you enjoy.

I love this one. Have faith in yourself. Trust your own wings.

We're all looking for "the one", aren't we? Some of us find that person and live happily ever after; others spend their life wondering "what if/if only". Settling isn't the end of the world, but it feels good to be in love. I've learned that no one understands love. Don't be afraid to love someone you've loved before. People are always saying "don't look back", but if you don't, then you'll never remember where you came from or how you got "here". You may have made a mistake in the past and you need to turn around... turn around and go back before you go too far in the wrong direction. People change, life changes, and you could be the right people, but it was the wrong time. I believe in second chances. Love is what life is made of--we need a lot of it everyday.

Wordless Wednesday: Prisoner of Your Eyes

Judas Priest - "Prisoner Of Your Eyes"

Inspiration: It's Never Too Late...

Just a little quote for the top of the week. 

"It is never too late to be what you might have been."

I find this to be very uplifting and inspiring. 

I absolutely believe this is true. 

It's important to dream like a child. As we grow older, our hopes become more "realistic," so, we often put our dreams on a shelf. Age should bring us wisdom and life experience; age should not put an end to our goals and ambitions. What you do today, will also determine who you are tomorrow. It's never too late to learn something new or change something unpleasant. You have the power to make your daydreams into your reality. Start today.
