Sweet November

Decided I'm going to take a picture at the beginning of every month and write a goal for this month (business/pleasure), an unknown/fun fact about me, and someone I want to see more this month.
1. Buy keyboard and begin composing songs/apply to internships
2. I dream just about every night I sleep, most concerning either adventure or romance... although last night was horror :/
3. Lauren Garvin, I want some much needed sister bonding time which luckily I will get this weekend!!!

Halloween/Hollywood Town

Had a good Halloween with some friends, friends of which I've had for years and friends of which I am just getting better acquainted with. Night consisted of going out to Huntington Beach then Hollywood. Hollywood on Halloween is Hollywood on major steroids (I've never seen so many trannies in my life). Glad to have gotten to experience it, but probably wouldn't spend my Halloween there again. But some of the funniest memories are made in the oddest of places: like having to leave my fake knife behind because I dropped it on the floor in a porter potty on Santa Monica Blvd... and it definitely was not worth it to pick it up. That and the hilarious conversations in the car with music blasting and the wind in my hair.

The holidays are like pins on the roadmap of my life marking great changes. After a holiday I always wonder where I'll be next year on this exact day not to mention who I'll be with, how I'll be feeling, what I'll be doing, and what will have just recently happened to me that has changed who I am since I last time round? I never seem to be exactly where I would've guessed I'd be, but that's part of the journey. The unexpected, and what you make of it.

I wish we could have even more holidays in the year. Holidays give you an escape from real life and the daily grind. We need more excuses to have an escape.

Buildings and Beauty Marks

I'm kinda going to miss that building behind me that has been like a home to me for the past four years.

Also, I realize.. I have a beauty mark similar to the likes of Julia Roberts, Marily Monroe, and Goldie Hawn. Given me a new appreciation for the mark on my chin :)

Nostalgic

I hate when I get all nostalgic about events in the past, because while it's fun to reminisce it's painful to think I will never experience those times again. Never have those exact moments. I started thinking of the play performances I did in high school specifically "Noises Off". That play was one of the best times of my life. And I guess I kind of miss the person I was. Even though I appreciate who I am now... the girl I was during that year of my life was rather enchanting. I was incredibly happy at that time, doing what I love with people that I loved. I guess you just have to look forward to the future with hope and expectation of those kind of moments. And I've learned you have to reach out to what brings you that kind of happiness; often it doesn't just happen.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I want to recapture that part of myself and chase after those moments.

Feel more like that enchanting girl again.

To Each Their Own

The newest episode of glee was fairly emotional as well as thought provoking, which isn't it's usual tune. I thought the writers did a very good job at addressing a controversial topic with religion/spirituality while maintaining an equal balance on point of views. It had a few moments of religious humor where it poked fun, and then moments of genuine heartfelt faith. But mostly I liked how it showed that everyone should get past what they want to hear or don't want to hear and what they want to believe or don't want to believe: we should be able to show love and support to each other in our own desired ways. No one is 100% sure how we came to be, so don't be arrogant by thinking you are the one person in the entire world who has it exactly right. Neither has the right to lecture one another, more importantly be open and respectful of each others' beliefs.

What I believe is in no way harmful to others and is a part of who I am. Our country screams at the top of its lungs for equality and fights against discrimination. I have never discriminated against those who don't share my beliefs and I expect the same treatment. You can't take my faith from me, and I won't push my faith on you. I am a better person for what I believe, and honestly if for some reason I'm wrong... I didn't lose anything. Both sides of the argument can be argued with facts, but what I can't get past is the complexity of what we feel? experiencing miracles? the power and stretch of love? the perfect setup of our world? the founding of right vs wrong and human nature?

It's all so fascinating. God is good.

To each their own. We should be valued for who we are and what we do, not what we believe.
