A little Doodle-e-doo with a Ponder or a few.

Here's a little doodle I drew, deciding if I'm doing life the way life should be done. If im being the change I wish to see... Am I truly leading by example , how it should be done, owning that shit? ...

To ponder, to let the mind wander... to find that escape from the fake reality thats taken over our very culture... how do we truly become free from it???

So much consumerism going on around me I feel so affected by the peoples rush around to get their christmas gifts just to show their loved ones they love them by supporting HUGE corporations that don't care who you are or what happens when you can't afford to pay your rent without going into debt, due to the fact you just had to get those last few gifts under the tree or you'd be overwhelmed with the fear of being judged for not "buying enough" presents! I'll tell you.. I'm sick of it. My family and I have chosen to not buy gifts anymore for each other due to the fact that everyone seems to agree with me more and more every year. "Presence" is the new "present" to us in our celebration of winter opposed to the other. It's helped us not become bitter from ego and the "wanting" our love to be "bought."

Hmmmm... what else can I do to make life better? Not just for my self... but for others whom are affected by my actions?... Am I contemplating this because of the weather? Or because Mercury is still in Retrograde? Or is it because I truly DO BELIEVE that we/us/you/I could change the world together and make life better? Well... We CAN all do life better TOGETHER!!! How might you ask? BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN OTHERS AND LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND GO DO IT EVERY DAY!!! EVERYWHERE YOU GO! Here I go!!!

Time to spend my precious time with family! My AMAZING partner @silasdavid and his son and family... The friends who are like family and enjoy every minute of it. Share it and write about it! BLOG, BLOG, BLOG!!! Thats what I've come up with! I'm gonna blog about all the beautiful things in my life that set my ~soul~ on FIRE. Like music, #art, #love, #photography, #writing, hiking, plus whatever else my HUGE HEART desires!!! Spread positivity and remind people how to enjoy themselves instead of getting caught up in their drama and fears. That have no power unless you give it power.

I feel that I've learned so much this year about stress and how it can make you sick and tired of life. So sick and tired of feeling like you'll never amount to anything because you couldn't afford it or you didn't go to school for that degree... or that you never tried hard enough to be perfect in every way. Realizing that I'm already perfectly imperfect in every way... The fact that I've never felt "right" about conforming into a society that is doomed to fail. Time for me to own my shit. To take back control of my life and my right to be my own unique and different self! To shine so brightly that you'll see the #steem I've created from miles away! Rising like a Phoenix that's about to come cause some serious ruckus!!
