This one is inspired by Andy's last blog As the tunnel echos.....
Why did I start a blog? Initially it was because I went to delete myspace one day and realized that the one thing I would miss would be my blogs. I didn't get to my email confirmation soon enough though, so I still have myspace. ;)
Why have a blog? Venting drama, updating friends and family on a growing family, as a portfolio for creativity? My reason for having this blog is that I value perspective on life. Perspective and attitude toward life - what makes it worth living and how do you explain it? -that is what I value. So this blog is simply my answer. A perspective that continually changes with each day that passes. A perspective that I allow to grow and change throughout my life. That's the beauty in life. That it's not the same day to day. That it is quite a challenge at times. That sometimes you question every aspect of your being and why you are who you are. I encourage everyone to have their own perspective and their own reason.
My decisions in life are a reflection of changing perspectives. I stand by every decision I make with conviction and I feel no need to defend myself to anyone. Those that matter to me, I don't have to explain myself to and those that don't matter will only use my words against me. Maybe the words I write now will be turned around on me but I simply don't give a fuck. I accept it for what it is because it's something I have no control over.
Perspective.....Is mine spoken in vain? When I tell it how it is for me and someone understands, it becomes preaching to a choir who already know the song to sing. When I tell it how it how it is for me and someone sees the color red in what I see as blue, then they simply don't listen. So why bother?......Because it is mine alone. My perspective and my life to live because of it. Intention and how it's expressed makes all the difference.
"If i never have anything, I'll never have to lose anything. Then again, if i never have anything worth losing i guess I've lost everything." Love it.
Back to attitude, being able to appreciate and accept life for all that it is and doing what you can to change what you can - is the only attitude I choose to influence my life. Life is hard enough on it's own without adding unnecessary drama. Complaining is sometimes needed but, there's a difference between venting and ALWAYS seeing the glass as half empty.
I live a life of my own creating and I absolutely love it even through all the rough patches.
