wind || dreams

sometimes i just feel like
deteriorating into the wind.
letting it take me away, little by little.
until i am no more.

sometimes i feel like
running toward the edge,
hoping the wind will catch me,
and help me fly away.

sometimes i feel like
falling back, letting the breeze
carry me away while i
close my eyes and breathe.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. -Ashley Smith 


While I was searching for 'wind quotes' to go with my writing above, I found this lovely little passage. And, I fell in love with it.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it.
I'm trying. I'm noticing.
Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces.
I'm smiling. I'm watching.

For some reason, this passage really spoke to me. "Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams." That. That sentence got me right there. It made me think. What are my dreams? What am I doing with my life? What do I want to do with my life? Sometimes I imagine myself traveling, or signing autographs to random people, or becoming that regular everyday person who still manages to touch peoples lives--I, um, I daydream a lot... But now that I really stop and think about it, I could do that now. I could start living that life--my dreams--now.

But how?

Do you have dreams?

thanks for reading. <3

    That's a beautiful quote. :) Honestly, I haven't thought much about my future. I have no idea what I want to do with my future, and I have no dreams that I want to accomplish. Any dreams I do have are minor and would never happen. I'm always stressing about the present so much that I don't give too much thought to the future, but considering that in 5 years I'll be in college I really should be thinking about my future.

      oh, and for some reason that picture reminds me of Taylor Swift. i guess it's the magical-ness feel to it, the long flowy dress, and the curly hair. :)

So this is where I'm at.

Hi friend. How are you? I hope this post meets you well. Today I wanted to write about this little space. My corner of the Internet. After many attempts to give it a major face lift / rebrand / vibe / mission I figured out that the girl I was in 2012 when I originally started this blog is no longer who I am. So let's start fresh. Hi, I'm Rosie. I am a college student and a creator of many crafts. I enjoy writing Young Adult fiction, playing piano, singing at the top of my lungs, and, above all, making other people laugh. Right now I am pursuing a degree in art therapy, which means my future job will be  helping people express themselves in a safe environment with someone who loves them.  I have tried to be many things on the Internet, from an American Girl doll hoarder to a make-up artist, but nothing has really clicked with me. Not until now. I have always been a Christian. My entire life I have identified as being a follower of Jesus Christ. But the thing ab...

Room Tour 2019

I've always wanted to do one of these posts. If not for the enjoyment of others, for the enjoyment of my future self to look back on and realize how much my style and space have changed. My door. I think I'm sooo artsy for taping paint swatches to my door. And I actually love how it looks too. I was going for "Starry Night" with my own little twist -- and without the actual paint. ;) This is what my room looks like from the doorway. Can you guess what the theme is? It's funny -- a few weeks ago I was discussing with Kenzie how my room has this coral and aquamarine vibe to it, yet my Instagram theme is focused on yellows and blues, and my actual fashion style is very grungy/hispter/artsy. So it all comes full circle, I guess? Still, I love my room. It's my safe haven. Now come on in so I can give you the full tour... Right as you walk in, you will see my DIY jewelry hanging on the wall to your right. It's quite a balancing act when I ...

What I Want To Be vs. What I Am Not

This is an exercise that popped into my head while I was trying to work on my last project of the Fall semester. I thought I should share it with you because it was really helpful to me see these all these things that I've wanted (and most I've never reached) and compare them to what I now know about myself. What I’ve wanted to be What I am not A popular beauty guru on YouTube  An Instagram star with millions of followers A solo pop star with a raspy but also epic voice that even Sia could be jealous of I am not someone who wants to spend HOURS doing my make-up I am not someone who wants to dedicate their time to a social media site -- I desire connection, but not at a surface level where there are only likes and comments like "QT" I am not the most amazing singer, nor am I built for the stage or even willing to subject myself to such a stressful lifestyle. I could go on, but you get the point. Sometimes the ideas in our brains don'...
