“Our Generation Thinks It’s Cool Not To Care. It’s Not. Effort Is Cool. Caring Is Cool. Staying

I don't have a clue how any of this works yet but I'm learning. I could no longer tolerate FB, or any of the other popular social media sites but I want SOMETHING so I'm here. So far it looks interesting so hopefully, this will be the mood lifting inspiration I needed.

One shot.

There are things in life that you get one chance at. Whether you miss that shot, mess it up, remember it differently with time, or look back and smile, some things.... only offer themselves... ONCE. That first kiss, a first impression, a final we love you, or a visit to let someone know in person that the moment matters. Sometimes, that once in a lifetime moment is especially impactful because of the challenges that come with it. Thing is, when you look back at those moments, and have to face that you missed them, because it was ... difficult... will you be okay with the changes that came with that choice? If you take the chance and it doesn't go quite as hoped, will you at least find comfort in knowing you tried? Whatever your thoughts, just remember, not all once in a lifetime shots, come with a full color brochure. Sometimes, those moments head your way with a subtle smile, a twisted conversation, and even silent heartache. Pay attention, and notice the little things because well... they might be the only sign you get before one of those life changing "one shot" moments.

We live in a world of options. I don't always understand those options but, we definitely live in a world full of them. Here are a couple of today's rather entertaining .... options.

Wanderers...

As I get to know myself and get rid of more of the past I realize just how deeply rooted my desire to wander is. While many seem perfectly happy with the drilled in idea of get a house, park yourself, settle in... I'm one of those that wants to move constantly. Every few years I'm okay with the idea of relocation. Give me new sites to see, new people to meet, new activities to explore. And to be honest, I think humans are wanderers by design. I mean think about it, without all the modern tools of survival, how would the human mammal survive? Chasing fair weather, constantly hunting naturally growing food sources, moving with free water sources... there's no way the human creature would survive long term in most locations, naturally. meh... ANYWAY... hahaha Enjoy your day.

I am not a ghost.

I don't have a job. I have always had a hard time making money. I will not show you my tits or do sexually charged things with you. I won't constantly stroke your ego. I can't connect you to anyone "important". I won't agree with everything you say or do. I won't laugh at stupidity with you. I don't think life is always easy nor do I feel that easy is always the best idea. No, I won't make sure to maintain a certain "appearance", I don't even wear make-up. While I do understand that money is a "need", waving your net worth at me will not impress me. I strongly believe in effort, learning, and making constant adjustments. I have often put a lot of energy into helping others but I have finally also accepted that I deserve acknowledgement and help as well.

I know. I understand. More than one human has explained that I am simply being too difficult and that's why I can't connect. I get it BUT, I also understand that I'm not invisible. Just because I am not one to conform to common behavior patterns does not mean that I deserve to be treated like I am even less noticeable than the homeless person you happily see as either a problem, or a way to feel better about yourself by donating to the charity case. I am very much alive. I too have feelings. I... am not a monster... or a ghost! I am simply different. I don't want to be medicated or changed so I can be more "normal". I just want to be me, and be accepted as human. Yes, I know... good luck with that. Humans can't even seem to get beyond skin color so why would I expect my list of differences to be accepted? meh... A girl can dream.

Okay so, as I pay more attention I realize that humans seem to like seeing their food online. While I'm not entirely sure how many enjoy viewing the food of others I figured I would go ahead and play along so... here ya go. The current meal includes eggs, potato, tomato, carrot, celery, and a sausage, with a light dusting of a salt/pepper/garlic seasoning blend, cooked with a little bit of palm oil in a frying pan. Ooooh. Aaaaah. Yes, it was very much tasty. Yes, this is a common cooking style for me. And no, I will not be sad if I don't get paycheck level likes on my food photo. Okay, I'm done. Enjoy.

Show me.

I have had "friends", lovers, family, and more prove MANY times over how easy it is to say whatever the person thinks you want to hear but proving that their words are true... well, that's a whole different story. I've seen the attitudes as lies are defended. I've watched the lies change and shift depending on the moment. What I haven't really seen is people being honest, true, and open. So yeah, at this point... if you want me to believe.... show me.

Your creativity is your strength, fuel it with confidence. Embrace self-improvement, you'll sculpt your future masterpiece.

Circular saw kit for the Dremel  .........  hahaha  Okay.. so I decided to share it here too because well, I wrote about it so I figured I’d show ya what I was talking about.  Enjoy... and be nice... I’m learning.

For the record... olive wood smells really cool when cut.  My next cuts were MUCH better. heh  Practice helps.  haha

Just a couple of today's pretties.
