Friendship Poetry

I found another one that totally screams "me" hehe! It basically sums up how I feel about my best friends and how much positivity they bring to my life.

Only You

by Dawn Nissen

 

With you, it's all about
voiceless communication-
always knowing exactly what to say,
but never actually having to say it.

When no one seems to be listening,
you hear.
When I hurt but don't show it,
you know.
When I turn away to hide my tears,
you see.
When I feel like I can't get through to anyone,
you understand.

Your eyes glow just for me,
and I know you're proud.
You flash your magical, healing smile my way,
and I know everything will be all right.

You know everything there is to know about me.
You know what worries me,
what keeps me up at night,
and what shames me so badly
that I can't share it with anyone.
Most importantly, though,
none of those things bother you.

You've restored my faith in people
and proved that there is a thing
called true friendship.

Quote of the Day

I think this is something I'll try to do daily on this blog....
I'm gonna have more downtime after this week to focus on my hobbies =)

Today's quote of the day :
"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."
Albert Schweitzer
(1875-1965) German theologian, philosopher, and physician.


I definitely learned this the hard way. I've just always had instilled in my head that I was going to be some successful rich girl once I finished at the state university.

I didn't really care about what I had to study to get there. When I first put in my applications for college I chose Nutritional Science as my major, just because I saw that my aunt was a Nutritional Science major and she earned a lot of money. Money was what I thought would bring me happiness.

So years went by and then I started going into my major core classes and a started doing poorly in those classes. I had no motivation to listen, to study...I was just a body in a classroom counting down when class would be over so I could go on with my day, wasting it away. My head was in another place; I was off in my own world, dreaming mostly.


This past year I had to really sit down and reevaluate my situation...Is college for me? Do I really want to study Nutritional Science? Do I really want to just work full-time already and now earn a degree? I thought about what it is that I wanted,day after day, after day. With the recession and everything I concluded I should stay in college and I wanted to stay in college. I notice I do things much better if its something that I love doing, something that I have a passion for.

My life dream is to travel the world and help other people. I'm very giving by nature as my friends & family can tell you. I'm also very outgoing and adventurous and I love to travel. I mean, even a little joy ride excites me! lol...So i figured I would be of better use to the world and bring about my own happiness if I were doing both things. So now i'm studying Global Studies and I'm so happy about it! =) So i'm definitely not one of those 4yrs straight of college and out into the work force kind of gal. Since i'm now starting this, i expect at least 2yrs more of schooling.


NI MODO!(Oh well/who cares) Its what I have a passion for, its something that makes me smile just thinking about it.


Do stay true to yourself. Do what you love doing. If you have a love for something you are more motivated to accomplish it, to perfect it.
