Hi It's me Heather Marie.
All my friends tell me I was born in the wrong decade and maybe it's because I'm very old-fashioned or maybe it's because I love everything vintage: clothes, shoes, books...etc. But what ever the reason they're right. I often feel like I was born at the wrong time. I struggled with a lot over the past couple of years: graduating high-school, moving out, losing my mom, starting college, and trying to define myself as a young adult. I feel like that's what every person my age is trying to do. We are trying to find our place in the world, where we fit in, who we fit in with. Since a new year is about to start I figured I would start a new project and new stage in my life. This blog is my new project. I don't want this blog to be a place where I complain or trouble you with my problems cause lets be honest that's what everyone uses twitter for right? I want to just blog as a young person starting my life figuring out who I am. I want to live everyday like it's my last. If I've learned anything from my mothers death it was that life is fleeting and we must do everything or rather nothing to just enjoy life. Take the time in the morning to drink coffee or tea and look out your window and enjoy the view. When I walk around downtown here in wonderful Florence Alabama I often find myself stopping to just close my eyes and take a deep breath. I love to just look around and try to find beauty in everything and thank God that the world he created for us is so amazing beautiful. I feel like people me included get carried away with our jobs and family or in my case school work. We don't take the time to enjoy the world around us. So today I'll leave you with some word from one of my favorite TV shows One Tree Hill.
"You know it's been said that we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they are happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it's usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you've realized how wrong you've been that you need it, how much you love it."
with great joy,
Heather Marie
