Book Section 1
I started writing a journal. I feel like posting it in here.
Page 1 -
There is almost always at least one incredibly profound statement that will leave your lips in your lifetime that you will always live by. You will hear it, pause, and be stunned by the depth of that statement.
If you pay attention well enough you'll realize this happens several times in at least the first 20 years.
This is cause alone to remember to pick up a pencil once in a while and write down your thoughts. Not only so you can reflect back on your thoughts in the future, but so you can share the insight with others that may need it like you once did.
Our discoveries are not meant to be kept to ourselves. Rather they are meant to be passed on to those who may utilize the knowledge for their betterment as well.
This journal is a collection of my thoughts-
Read them, think about them and take what you can to become a better, happier, person

Expect nothing of others
&
only the best from
Yourself
You are what you chose to be. You suffer what you allow yourself. No one can effect you unless you permit it.

I am the kind of person who hates it when other people give unwanted or totally pointless advice. I also believe very strongly that anything you can pay a psychiatrist our councellor to tell you is common sense. Of course I, being a pessimist, admittedly, also acknowledge that many people either lack common sense, don't know how to use it, or -chose- to disregard it.
What ever your case may be, whatever reason you have for picking this up and reading, I hope that you can walk away with something that helps you in some way improve yourself.
I am not licensed for therapy. I am not a professional author. I have no degrees behind me as I'm writing this. Everything I am writing is what I have learned through life.
You can agree or disagree with one or all the things I say. I do not expect you to share my perspective.
BUT
Alternate perspectives from ones own grant further depth than that which one initially had.
Enjoy the read

I don't need you to be me
You are your own individual person. When you came from the womb you were already a complete individual. Your family influences alot about your morals, faith, and so forth. Your personality was there from the start. You do not need to rely on another person for your happiness.

There were two inspirations for writing this. The first is a friend of mine named Tai. He is one of several friend's I've made on the internet. Never have we met face to face. We do though, speak on the phone regularly. He is one of those friends who comes to me for, as he puts it my "Motherly advice." I didn't know "She's a bitch!" was motherly! I'm glad to have helped him.
The second is my best friends, Kaori's, first and new child, my goddess child, and adoptive niece, Alice. In October I will be meeting this wonderful little girl for the first time since she was born. (Obviously this time has passed XD) With that in mind I realized that I want to be the best example of how to live your life that I can possibly be. So that I may watch as Alice becomes a beautiful young woman and so that I will be able to know that when she's happy with her life, she'll never have to feel guilty by it.
Yes, there are other people who inspire my writing. Like Daniel, who will always have a special place in my heart, or Jazmine, whose always managed to make me smile.
And countless others who have touched my life both negatively and positively

Looking out for yourself is NOT selfish!
You are worth nothing to those you care about unless you take care of yourself! Do not let people take advantage of your generosity. Remember that you need to have enough for your own needs before you can share with others.
Besides you can never find your own happiness if your focused on someone elses!
Self Sacrifice only goes so far before you run out of things to sacrifice.

I don't have any children of my own yet. I may or may not in the future. But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I love kids. There is an honest and frankness in children you don't find in adults. It's a shame that fades as we get older.
A story my mother used to tell people about my childhood involved the local Albertsons store that we frequented. I have no idea my age other than I was old enough to walk at her side and talk.
A man stood near us, glaring about. Big biker kind of guy. His gaze eventually fell to my small form, still glaring. I in my infinite childlike wisdom glared right back.
"I'm not scared of you!" I boldly proclaimed as we stood in line. He paused, surprised as I jutted out my jaw, pulling my hands from my mothers to place them on my hips.
He burst into laughter. I smiled.
Children have an uncanny ability to read people. Not only that but to put smiles on the stoniest of faces.
I bet if I had done that today, at this age, an arguement would have started.

Face your challenges head on.
Its more fun then running away.
Really. When you find yourself confronted by something your uncomfortable with...
EMBRACE IT!!
Win, lose, succeed, fail, hurt or safe, by facing your fears and problems you'll avoid the future agony of wondering "What if I had..." A step forward, even in the wrong direction is better then standing still. No matter what you'll learn something.
MORE WILL BE WRITTEN LATER
