Thanks to certain influential members of society
Ironically enough, one(s) in the entertainment industry, I have been inspired to do a number of things.
1) Break free from fear and shyness
2) Find ways to enhance my self-esteem and my self-confidence.
3) Become a little more socially active
And...
4) Further increase my intelligence. It seems that I just grow more and more disappointed with myself the more I learn. It's like... Okay, I learned that, added those words to my vocabulary, and figured that out without any help from anyone. What's stopping me from more?
You know what's stopping me?
As stated above, my own fears. My shyness. My self confidence. All of these things that have taken the form of mental chains. I've been bound for far too long. I'm ready to break away from it all and become the person I know I can be. The person I know I want to be.
Honestly, I would have never made it to this point without the help and inspiration of Ryan Reynolds, Dane Cook, and underOATH. Yes, a comedic actor (though he's branching into more serious roles, as seen in Smokin' Aces, Amityville Horror, and The Nines), a stand-up comedian, and a Christian post-hardcore band brought about this recent self-discovery.
Perhaps the largest source of inspiration has been found in the band The Damnwells. I probably would have never discovered them, had I not been reading through Ryan Reynolds' myspace blogs, but thankfully, I did. They're beyond anything I can think of. Their sound is so pure. It's seriously inexplicable how this band has effected me. They've made me vulnerable, which has allowed God's love to pour into me. I'm bursting with happiness. I've never felt this way in my entire life, and now that I have it, I know I'll never lose it. These people, these musicians, and of course, God, will be with me forever. Music never dies. Words never die. God never leaves.
I've never been so motivated in my life. I've never been so sure of anything. I'm also going to strive to become a little more active in various charities. Ones for global warming, human rights, the homeless, the starving, the abused.... Being a minor without a job, there's very little I can do in terms of money donations, but I'm going to try to convince my parents to assist me with that.
I realize I haven't updated in quite a while, and this may be a little "WHOA!" to some, but I felt that it needed to be said.
By the way, HI!
