The thought of a blog has always lingered in my mind, but the action behind those thoughts have lingered even farther behind. When i was younger i kept so many journals i could have started my own little library; however, about two years ago i just kinda...stopped. In the midst of my non-journaling, i managed to notice, much to my encouragement, that those around me were beginning to journal. i realized that three years in a row, i had inspired one person a year to start journalling. And from this discovery, i thought, that if i could inspire one person a year to journal, and those people inspired others from their own inspiration, how many people have been inspired and enjoyed the pleasure of life just a little bit more because of the great trickle effect of inspiration.
And so here i am at the beginning of this blogging journey that went a little something like this: I was sitting and bouncing some thoughts off a very dear friend of mine, a friend who is a constant well spring of great quotes, thoughts, and inspirational conversations, and at the conclusion she affirmed me of my thoughts and my pursuit for answers even though those endeavors will assuredly produce only more questions. She also encouraged me to type these thoughts on a word document to record these thoughts and get them out in front of me. Ill do her one better...ill start a blog. She said something to the effect that the thoughts that we have need to be shared...and i agree with her. We all have a striking similarity...we are extremely and flawfully humans. We have incredible needs for interactions and inspirations and the thoughts we have are crucial to those things that connect us with those around us. However, we keep our mouths shut due to embarrassingly uncountable, unspoken, and body freezing fear of ______, _________, and ___________.
You are human. and your words deserve to be heard, but more importantly, those around you need to be listened to. Share. Listen. even when you think you need to rush... slow down. breathe. grasp the moments and slow them down by being present in the moment. because you are a human. and they are a human. an individual human. and that individual human is doing some form of looking, searching, and asking questions, and one day, without even knowing it, you may be that human that causes them to halt their schedule of daily zombie routines and remember that that person, indeed, is a human...and its ok to smile, cry, laugh, yell, and to be. an incredible human.
Thank you to all those who have, will, and continue to constantly inspire a simple human like myself. Much gratitude for reading and i hope that the cycle of inspiration continues to roll.
continuing to be inspired,
human Grace.
