Wipe that dust off.

I haven't bothered to write anything of quality in a while. We were instructed to read pages from a book today, so after class, I went and got the assigned book from the school book store. $35 for a thin-looking 200 page book. My was it worth it. It was just a simple book about revision in writing with a great author, but it made me realize how much I miss writing, and re-connecting with myself. In this starting-to-get-busy life, it's easy to bury your very self. So this is the start of me wiping off the dust, and reconnecting with my inner voice, my true self, that gets buried from time to time. The no-regrets true to yourself, self. I miss jotting down things i like. The simple things in life that enrich our souls.

Music, teas, writing, coffee, good food, intelligence, good people and personalities.

I had the song The Great Disappointment by Afi in my head today. It made me think of 6 years ago. It has already been that long? 6 years around this time. I listened to that song and the cd that song is off of. I listened to it a lot. It was just as cold and overcast as it was today. My first spring back on the mainland. Although I love my surroundings, I'm not quite in sync yet. The kind of sync that happens over time. I don't know why i connect to Afi so much. Even though I don't listen to them very often anymore, when I do, they always leave a great mark on my heart and soul. It makes me want to visit their hometown and linger there for a while.

I've always had this thing about looking and dressing different. I love fashion. Different kinds. The kind of taste that would appeal to one person. Me. It's not for attention, it's for feel and comfort. Feeling comfortable! :) As I hope everyone does. I love edgy. Music, looks. I love soul. I hate bland and soul less. My boyfriend doesn't believe in soul, or that he has a soul, but he's not bland. How do you explain that?

I love creepy from time to time. I love 'goth'. The word goth is like throwing chicken at a bunch of vultures. They fight over it and eat it up. People were like that too. They fought over everything about it, what's right and wrong, then it started seeping between the lines of society. Today, everyone is mish mash, just the way I prefer it. One of the many satisfying reasons why I came to Seattle, of all metropolitan regions.

I'm not your stereotypical girl. You can't place a word on me, cause from the time I could make my own choices based on individuality, I was never for just one. I have many ways to exist, and not all of them will be the same every day. Or they might just all. I love Tim Burtons heart. I want to incorporate it in everything I express, even a little bit.

I'm a mix of earthy and dark. Happy and bright. Wierd right?

Writing has been one of the many best things that has happened to me. I could never seem to write enough if I open up my heart, mind and soul.

Alas, this is the beginning of a continuous journey.
