I’ve been in a strange state of mind lately. This year has been quite stimulating for me, in my writing, my photography, and my social life. I’ve had many firsts this year, things I’ve only dreamed of doing. Somehow, the loose ends of my life are all coming together, the strands knitting themselves back into the present, and giving me new hope for what the future has in store for me.

In my younger days I was dilligent at keeping a journal and I often reread the entries, just to see how I’ve changed, or how my thoughts have matured over time. Lately, I’ve encountered something odd. It seems I have a knack for writing about things that eventually happen, as if I knew ten years ago what I know now. I’ve always been a bit psychic, but even this is strange.

Looking back on my life, I can recall certain moments where my path could have taken a different turn. If I had done one thing differently, or if something else had happened, I’d be a much different person now. There aren’t many things I would change, because I love my life today, and the way everthing has somehow come back to me, this year. But I still wonder about my other life paths…are there other me’s in a parallel universe living out my other lives? And is there ever a way for me to glimpse these, if only in a dream?

I know it’s silly to think about stuff like this. But I do think about it. It’s what fuels my creative mind. It gets me thinking about the way life works, and how one thing can lead to other things.

Cause there will always be more to come, in the future, and that’s what I look forward to. More opportunities to live life to the fullest, carpe diem. If we truly only have one life, then we must recognize that we have power over our lives, and what we choose to do. And it is this power that gives us strength. I believe that we all have the ability to make things happen by focusing our energy on what we truly desire. I’ve seen it happen. But you have to believe in yourself and be confident. And have patience. Things always happen for a reason, even if we can’t see what it is right away. We just have to wait.

And the people who need us the most in life eventually make their way back to us, usually when we need them the most. You just have to open your eyes and really see things for what they are, and get back to who you are, your true you. Once you find your path, everything else will fall into place.
