Practice your truth

Tonight I read a post on peacenlove . This post motivated me.. I have been influenced by two writers lately, both yogis and one adventurous as the next, furthermore both as willing as each other to spread the light of yoga throughout the world. We as people naturally think negative thoughts, the only way to bypass this is to love yourself deeply. I have been reading a lot on yoga and meditation lately. Journey To The Heart by Melody Beattie, daily mantra and my new crutch. Luckily for me this crutch is the most positive influence on my life at the moment. It has helped me through an interesting bump in the road that happened on new years day, I was unfairly fired from my job and was not too happy about it either. So I sat down under my sheet draped bed, and read, the first passage to Melody Beattie's enlightening skill set. When I say skill set I am referring to how awesome at life Melody truly is. The book starts out with Melody explaining what prompted her heart to write this amazing mantra for the souls of others. She tells you of her epiphany that took place and brought her to the journey of a lifetime. She knew she had to do it and took that feeling as a sign from god. The next day, her boxes were packed in her jeep and she was ready for an adventure..alone, to some of the most beautiful protected land. She took in everything she saw and learned from almost every detail. This woman knows what it is to live. I have read a passage ever since that day and my life has improved immensely. I sat on my bed that day and opened my heart to not only a book, but a journey. I got my job offer today, I can not wait to get over to Pender Island and live life the way I grew up. I have missed the ocean, I have missed the forest, the rain, the sand and the adventures. This is coming so soon and I couldn't be more excited to go somewhere so perfect to practice. Practice today was very moving. Yoga hasn't been a priority in my life, not like it used to. I understand now why I appreciated it so much before. The music hits you and you realize things you never thought imaginable. I took a good look at who I am, who I've become, and also who I want to become. The one who laughs at most things just because life is that good, the one who always sings her heart out to any song playing, the one who's smile could light up a room. I want to make a difference to somebody who needs change. I want to change the world. I don't know if I can at this point in time but I feel as though, with more practice will come more self love, resulting in an independent girl who can make change happen. I feel like I'm rambling but I have a lot of positive energy oozing out of every fibre of my being and I can't help but to express it. I need to sleep. goodnight world I will one day explore.

shut down

try to remember



sitting here trying to remember what my great idea ten minutes ago was, I feel as though I may have lost my brain. I can rack it as much as possible but it never seems to get right back on track to where it was before.. this only happens about every day.  train of thought..slipped away. so short my memories last, but those that do are one, alas my thoughts all tangled in one and the people around me all shoot guns.

THC ... the hibernation celebration

I can't sleep again.  What is happening to my body. I have been eating healthy, going to yoga, being active and yet i still can't seem to fall asleep. I even use lavender to calm my mind. Nothing but pot works.. maybe I should go for a walk

awake

I may be up but I feel far from awake, I have a lot to think about lately. How should I go about asking a best friend if they have a drug problem? How do I get my first love back into my life? How come I'm still shamefully living with my parents? Where should I go to next? Why have the cards not aligned yet for my travel plans? Where will I be in a year's time? Should I apply for that visa to Australia? Should I stay living in hell with my parents to save money? When will my time come to see the world?



So many questions... my heart and brain are duelling like never before and its killing me. A constant nagging feeling tugs at my emotions. What am I doing wrong? What am I doing right ? I keep smoking joints every night... It really helps me to fall asleep and to not worry. I worry way too much otherwise and then in turn am unable to sleep. 


What do I do with myself. 

a) lost the love of my life: he says he no longer has feelings for me and that when we meet up he kisses me "for fun" 

b) my best friend moved in with me... that was a bust, we left off well.. until she found out about a secret I had been keeping from her for a long time.. and she still won't forgive me

c) the one person I thought I had left to lean on...probably is on hard drugs. Based on the actions of the past weekend I spent with him, I'm assuming that would be the only excuse


.......or i could just be really shit at choosing the people I care for.. either way, Im not at my highpoint of life right now.


My family is even starting to get sick of me. They definitely don't want me living here anymore because  before I moved back in "there was peace and quiet in this household" as said by my mother.


I don't want to sound like a complainer but I gotta let it out somehow, I just feel lost and these are the reasons why.

eighteen has definitely been by far my best year yet, but I can't wait for my birthday, I can't wait until I can go out to a bar, have a beer and listen to good music over good conversation. I do need to get out of Kelowna ASAP though. It's hard coming back to a place that nothing has changed but instead just moved on. I no longer have either of the people that were my best friends and it sucks. I am probably writing because its my first love's birthday right now. He's 20 yet he acts like he's 16. I think he's stuck at that age because of me honestly. I put his life on hold when i broke up with him. If I saw him and knew that he had actually moved on and that he had changed and grown up, maybe I would be content without him. He just doesn't seem happy to me. He's stuck at the age that I broke his heart and deeply regret doing as well. 




I got a message from Devin today.. I don't really know why I never even gave him a chance.. I come on so strong and its just the way some people are. It was wrong of me to judge him as a person based on how much he wanted to talk to me. He is interesting after all.




I want to toke so badly.  oh how i miss being on my own... always smoking the hookah..alone or with friends.. the hookah always kept me company



I miss the lake, the people, my indian brother, my lover, his best friend, his other best friend, and all his other friends, they were all a big part of me learning and growing up. its sad that it all ended when i ended things with brett and my best friend came to live with me 


I regret asking her to come live with me.

It was awesome at first, but we lost our friendship along the way somewhere and as it was happening, she took all the friends i had made there with her. turned backs was seemingly normal by the end of my lake louise adventures. 


/ done.

THE LAKE

So i really haven't written in forever, I'm just in the writing mood today though. I'm sitting somewhere i never really thought i would be sitting. Its a place I would've never thought of until that is, I moved out to Lake Louise Alberta. As i type my behind is heavily placed on the cushioned curved bench above the front desk at the chateau lake louse, i need to do this more often , time alone is good time, my company keeps me happy, the chitter chatter of mostly asians fills my head and when usually i repel that sound, today i embrace it. i don't really know why, i just am my stomach is getting hungry though which is unfortunate, I'm so glad to be able to live here, really even though the altitude is really effecting how my white blood cells are functioning to fight off infection. fucking colds...me and brett keep giving it to each other too. i think i like him , he kissed me in public today AWK i just didn't know what to do i felt awkward because i wasn't expecting it and i really don't know what his thoughts are.. are we together or just FWB because either way I'm down but i'd kinda like to know, i just hate putting the label on it but as melissa said, "whatever label you do or don't put on it , there is always a relationship regardless of what it is you are doing"but yeah its fun for sure and i love hanging out with him so we will see where things go, no pressure, just live. This place sometimes makes me feel stuck but its such a great opportunity for things this is just my start and i will hopefully be writing more and more as my journeys become thicker. Im most likely going to LA in April if i can get the time off so I'm crossing my fingers! I would love to go back and visit the place my awkward teen years ever so "gracefully" caressed ! Im really hungry and i wish i had a boyfriend that would bring me food while i write. I've decided i need to document more of this and maybe it will help me to appreciate where i live more. I mean as i look around i kind of try and take it all in. this place is stunning, so extravagant.

I just needed a friend, I thought we were , stop being a bitch. Obviously I need someone to talk to if I'm knocking. fuck you fuck this place. ALL you fucking people think you are sooo great go fuck yourselves. I need a break, with some better people
