Thoughts on Life Adjustments and Goals...

Recently I've learned that I am somewhat of a "People Pleaser."
On occasion, I suppose there is no problem with this, but I have also learned that too often you forget what is best for yourself.  Intimate relationships are the worst at bring out the "people pleaser" characteristic.  When you really care about someone and are happy with them, you want to be with them always.  You go out of your way to see them, make them smile, surprise them, and tell them of your love.
However, today I have discovered I need to make a life adjustment.  There are two things wrong with what I'm doing.  I shouldn't go out of my way to see someone and do everything in my power to make them happy and expect the same in return.   Unfortunately, that is unrealistic and irrational.  It's causes additional problems in the relationship because now I hold expectations for them.  If they don't met those expectations, it can cause friction.  The second thing, the most important thing in my life right now should be school and not a relationship.  Sacrificing time for school to be with that person isn't worth it.  If you are really meant to be with that person, you will have forever to see them and be with them.  School unfortunately, does not have an everlasting opportunity.


I have also decided today, I am going to start living more in the moment.  I hate looking back at old pictures and reminiscing about old times and then wishing I could bring the moments back.  I want to start enjoying every moment in my life.  Even when having a bad day, I shouldn't get sucked into it.  Any good day can suddenly change to a bad one and vice versa.  Besides the fact, having something bad happen during the day and then staying in a bad mood can make for a terrible day.  Your day then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

And that concludes my thoughts on the changes that need to be made in my life.

The Beatles




The Beatles have inspired me through and through. I live my life by The Beatles.  Here are a few of my favorite quotes from some of their songs. 

"Got to be good-looking cause he's so hard to see"
This is from the song Come Together.
This song was written primarily by John Lennon. Like always, the credit is given to Lennon/McCartney
This song can be found on the Abbey Road album that was released in September of 1969.

"Mean Mr. Mustard, sleeps in the park, shaves in the dark, trying to save paper"
This quote is from the song Mean Mr. Mustard.
A very short song from the Abbey Road album.
This song was also written by John Lennon

"I want to tell her that I love her, but I gotta got a belly full of wine"
This is from Her Majesty.
It was written by Paul McCartney
This song is also from the Abbey Road album.

"And in the end, the love you take, is equal to, the love you make."
This is the main verse in The End.
This is again another short song in the Abbey Road album.
This quote is possibly one of my all time favorite quotes. It means a lot to me and this is one of those quotes that I try really hard to live my life by.

"I'll pretend that i'm kissing, the lips I am missing, and hope that my dreams will come true."
This is a clip from the song All My Loving
This song is NOT from the album Abbey Road. It's from With The Beatles that was released in 1963.
This is was written by Paul McCartney

"We would shout and swim about, the coral that lies beneath the waves. Oh what joy for every girl and boy." 
This is from Ringo Starr's song Octopus' Garden.
This song is also found on Abbey Road. 


These are just a few of the many great lyrics The Beatles wrote.  Words cannot describe how magnificent they were.  Everyone of them.  Most of the credit for many of their songs go to Paul McCartney and John Lennon.  However, John Lennon and Paul McCartney would not have gotten as far as they did without the help and assistance from George Harrison, and, one of my personal favorites, Ringo Starr. If I learned anything from this blog, Abbey Road might be one of my favorite albums. :)

I've never done this before...

So, I'm new at this.  
I've never actually had a blog.  
I love to read blogs and read the thoughts of other people.  I have finally decided to start posting the thoughts of my own.  Constructive criticism is always appreciated! 


Here are some "Idealisms" i've written in the past few weeks. 


Goodnight world. 
I would rather waste away in my impractical dreams then face your harsh reality. 
I wish to eternally slumber in this blissful wonderland.


"Love" is used universally but understood individually.


Not even the undiscovered depths of the ocean are as deep as my thoughts can sometimes be.



Why is it, that the only words that remotely come close to describing my feelings for you, have no meaning anymore? 
How am I to tell of my true feelings for you, if nothing in my vocabulary is powerful enough? That three worded phrase has become nothing more than an empty promise. 
And therefore, it is unfitting. 
Nothing about our relationship is empty or emotionless. 
Inevitably, the solution resides in the idea that feelings are not bound to words.  
For that reason, my only desire is to spend every possible moment of my waking to unmask my feelings and emotions by action.  
Action is the truth of emotion.
