Twenty Two in Twenty Twelve

Here is the thing..I am a silly little creature. What an odd way to start a post right? Well I will admit I am always in a self built world all of my own that involves waking up, texting ones from dreams sentiments of thankfulness of their presence in my life, before even looking at the time.

As well as spending too many self indulgent hours in my closet trying on things that would truly never see the light of day due to social labels I can not bother being attached too. I have this vast imagination and theory of life that I swear would be crushed if ever explained to others.

I start my day with thousands of possibilities and wonders and end my day with tens of thousands of more curiosities that keep me up for late hours considering. My mind is consistently being infiltrated with my larger than life dreams, goals and self designed reality that often times than not I don't even see the present for what it is. Is there any point of what I am saying?

Not really, other than I am trying to make the case with myself that this year I want to try and translate my dreams and world in actual reality. Not just my own, but to share with others my world..instead of selfishly keeping myself to..well myself. This year its all about living for the present, although I know this is an achievement most sought after and often crazily obsessed over....that it usually is overachieved by ones that live for the "now moment" and don't apply any reason or morals. Not what I am thinking what so ever!

I just want to take my doll like world and share it with others in the present. Share, love and be in the present. However that will turn out...we shall see..but I'm tired of giving the yawn worthily reply to "What have you been up to lately?", over coffee, "Oh, nothing really, just working..cooking...a little bit of this and that".

{Failed attempt - Gluten Free Box Mix Cinnamon Rolls}

When in reality I've been spending copious hours hand painting wood, planning my future solo trip in July to Europe, reading Jane Austen books, working crazy little jobs to pay for my travels and designing future outfits for champagne brunch meets with friends. Not to mention studying for hours with stranger friends, letter writing with my Grandmother and supplying odds and ends to ones in need. I've been up to a million things but my mind is too busy thinking of another million to even convey to the present my ongoings!! Oh the world of an introvert!! This year its all about applying my reality to the real reality around me..completely uncomplicated, right?

I woke up this January 1st 2012 and realized...I am going to be the age of twenty two..twenty two!! I want to keep learning to connect with the world around me..I want to spend as much time with my best friends as possible..I want to share with my "little sister" all the clothes she ever wanted, I want to watch old movies all night long with that cute married couple and their bull dog, I want to engage in silly trivial conversations with my Papa, I want to paint my eyes every day of the week even if I'm not going out, I want to drink cappuccino way before morning although they give my cheeks a bashful glow and temples and horrid headache, I want to live each moment beyond my inside world. I mean of course I could be kept busy for hours with my own things but I want to experience life..with others. I realize this is quiet a selfish post...its just the only way I can make an record of my yearly goal. xoxo M
