I Wrote Something Finally!!

I am SO happy right now. Tonight (2/7/13), I sat down and completed my first full piece of poetry since what feels like forever. Now, a few minutes ago I tried uploading this video, and it froze my computer and in the process, erased this BEAUTIFUL entry that I had spent almost as much time crafting as I did this piece. And that's the way it goes sometimes. But maybe those words were only meant for me; a purging of my soul, now content with its creation. Either way, I did write something, a piece titled, Last Time. Maybe one day, you will read it/hear it/watch it as well.

I am up far too late and my brain is much to active at this hour, but for some reason it is racing with all these ideas of things I want to do. Like, crazy weird things, but things that are very possible, and very probable. Because if I really want to do something, I will do it. Which reminds me, I told myself I was going to get up early and work out tomorrow....oops. That, on the other hand, probably won't happen. In the morning anyways. I'm slowly incorporating activity, aka exercise, into my routine again. It's been a while since I have bad a steady routine, but it's time. I worked out last week. So tomorrow I will work out after work. I even have a punch card to the gym. Bam! Watch out, summer sexy is in (somewhat) full affect. Haha...not there yet but hey one day at a time!

Clean eating too, yea I'm on that kick. Kinda. It's really difficult to eat clean you know. And expensive! My grocery bill was like $100+ for fresh fruits and veggies, hormone-free, free range meat, organic shyt, it's like mad expensive to be conscious and not fill your body with preservatives and fillers and stuff you don't even know how to pronounce. What does that tell you? That our own country is slowly killing us.

Profit over people, people! Duh, this is America, did you think anyone cared about you? They don't. Get over it. And do something about it. I wrote to two of my state congressmen to protest these lame ass drones they want flying around trying to invade our privacy. I say no way! But who knows what I am talking about anyways, probably not half the people out there. And for the seven or eight of you that actually subscribed to my blog, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say that half of you don't know what I am talking about. I don't even know what I am talking about. All I know is I had the urge to write an entry in my almost non-existent blog because it is far too late and my brain is much to active at this hour.

A Year Later and a Lifetime to Go!

I'm back! As I was sitting quietly at the lake today, I remembered that the first time I began writing this blog, I had come back for the first time, from the same trails/lake and felt so inspired by the beauty of the nature that was all around. I felt that same feeling today, as I do every time I go to the trails. I realized it had been about a year since I wrote in this inactive blog and decided I needed to get back to writing!

I posed the question on Facebook, which I guess to me acts like a mini blog (I don't do Twitter), on what I should write about on my blog. I mean, la vida de Vita (the life of Vita, me!) is ever-changing, and has so many things I could speak on, but I want to write on topics that interest you, the reader. What do people want to read about this days, what intrigues them, what gets them talking? So, let me know what YOU want to read about from my perspective. If you are reading this, I've caught your interest. Now, I want to keep it. Leave a message, and let me know what you'd like me to speak on. It can be anything, there are no limits! Thanks, hope to hear from you soon! -Vita

Why don't I WRITE more!

Man I am not doing justice to this blog page! Blog, I apologize for neglecting you for practically an entire year. If it makes you feel better, I haven't written much of anything in the past year. I have gotten caught up in the hustle and bustle of all the insignificant, and somewhat significant, things in life. A lot has happened in my life in the past year; it's a shame I only have one really great piece that came out of it. I used to love to write, to express my thoughts and views, passions and pains, but somewhere along the line, I lost it. I hope I will find it soon, put more time into actually trying. I miss the liberation, inspiration, and pure joy of creating.

Less Talking, More Action

For at least the last six months, I have been questioning my life. I have been questioning the decisions I've been making, my career path, my location, my wants, my needs, my friends, my family, EVERYTHING. I have felt for a long time that I am not doing enough with my life, I could be, rather should be, doing more. What am I doing, where am I going, how am I getting there, wait; if I don't know where I am going how do I figure out how to actually get there? These questions have been racking my brain for quite some time and what I noticed was, that in having conversations about these questions with other people my age, I am not the only one questioning life. 

It seems that I, and most of my good friends, are going through a quarter life crisis. The life after college and before the family. That in between time of our lives where we are thrown into the world with an abundance of education and not a lot of experience. College doesn't prepare you for life. It merely gives you the tools to navigate through it. But if you don't know where you are going, how do you know how to get there? 

Last night I went with friends to watch The Social Network, a movie about Facebook, a world-wide phenomenon that has made one twenty-something year old the youngest billionaire in the world. Billionaire. He had an idea, and he put that idea into motion, and in a mere six years, became a billionaire. Billionaire.

It got me thinking, this movie did. It generated conversations, and it really motivated me to stop questioning and start doing. I know what I want to do, I've always known what I wanted, I just wasn't sure how to get it. Until I got it; as Pablo Picasso once said, "Action is the foundational key to success". In order to succeed, you must DO something. You must take action, you must take all those ideas and conversations and make them happen. Because if you don't make something happen for yourself trust, no one else will. It's time to start doing instead of talking, it's time to start running instead of walking; it's time to take control of life, and start scratching the surface, of your fullest potential. ~V~

I will do something awesome with my life :)

Progression of Random Thoughts...

So I told myself when I first started this blog that I was going to utilize it to it's fullest potential. Well, two months after I wrote my first entry, I am back, after forgetting my password, updating my page, and trying to grasp onto some kind of inspiration that would facilitate a blog-worthy entry, I decided to recycle some of my old thoughts, previously posted on, yes, you guessed it, Facebook. I figure if I just start writing maybe something will come to me, right? Here goes:

"How simple of me, to be consumed with my own insignificant stresses when those around me are grieving, fighting, and struggling to stay afloat."

‎""Our lives our defined by opportunities...even the ones we miss" In order for new opportunities to arise, the seeds of courage, determination, and perseverance must be sown"

‎"Without the proper care, nutrients, and space to grow, a rosebush can never bloom to it's fullest potential"

"Life is about progression, learning from the past and making a better future. We must continue to evolve in order to fulfill our purpose"

"There comes a point in our lives where we must decide what really matters to us, what is most important, and what really drives us to reach our fullest potential. I've thought and thought and thought, when all along the answer was right in front of me..."

"I am definitely at a crossroads in my life that will lead to the next path in the eVoLuTioN of Me"

So the theme in my life for the past couple of months has been the same; change, evolution, progression. I am left to remember, things don't always happen on OUR time, but they always happen ON time!! :) <3 Vita

Finding Beauty in Every Day

When we actually stop to enjoy the beauty that lies in our every day, it's amazing what we can discover.
