"Same the Still Ole' Girl I Used To Be"

Where I go, I go willingly. What I do, I do with heart. What then do I think when I go and when I do? Every now and then, just once, I want to throw my inhibitions to the wind, forgetting reprecussions and the voices in my head and dance with danger- I want to live without thought, be full of risk. What would happen? Who would I meet? Would I meet myself-a part of me that has never been known? Where do the what if's get me? (A: Nowhere). Do these questions not live within the soul of every human?

Release the past, savor the moment, and take the future as it comes-that's what I say today. To be content, settled in your own skin, and happy with your circumstances is a task that requires discipline and healthy thinking...though, sometimes it is difficult to know how to take every thought captive. Emotions might take up residence in the heart, but the focus of reality and and the hope of what is waiting around the corner must overtake feelings. Feelings come and go and to depend on another for one mere moment of satisfaction is useless. I continue to wait, bite my tongue, quench my thirst for answers, and take it all with a grain of salt. I live without regret, happy with memories; And I laugh at the unexpected moments which leave me with a little smile and a quick shake of the head. Screwdrivers and apples...
