You know when you read a book or watch a movie and it's so exciting and there is always an adventure in it?  I used to wish my life would be like that. Don't we all?  We all want our lives to be meaningful, we all want adventure, we all want to be the hero of our own life story, we all want a happily ever after.  But I think this is where we go wrong, this is where we blind ourselves.  At least it's where I did.
I began keeping a journal a few months ago, I've written everyday since.  I started noticing something; so much happens in a day, and every single thing is important, it makes up who I am.  I think back on memories and realize that my life has been an adventure, it's been my adventure, and I'm only fifteen, there is so much more to come.
Why do we watch movies and read books?  I think it is to get away from reality for a little while, to go into someone else's mind and life and for a time forget about ours.  Well I'm about to dive into mine.  And let you forget about yours.

My Book

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
