a little bit of me.

I am fortunate to have many different kind of people in my life.
Different backgrounds, different ideas, and beliefs, AND different personalities.

I am very grateful for these different perspectives. 

As for myself, I think...that I am not a very strong willed person - meaning that I don't superimpose, or I try NOT to superimpose my opinions on others.  I suppose I do sometimes, but I'm just not gonna be the girl who talks over people, or honestly, even voices my opinion at all for the most part.

Now...sometimes...I feel a bit overwhelmed by both the strong willed and loud-voice/strongly opinionated people in my life.  There are a lot of them.  And some of them like to tell me I just gotta get in there, and make my voice heard. 

But ya know - I don't really think this is the case for the most part.  I think it is ok for me to just keep quiet, and observe.

I also realize, that lately, it seems that I let others intimidate me into doing things I wouldn't normally do...just because they are so opinionated or strong willed. 

Well, it's time I start doing things my own way again.  Not loudly, or in an obnoxious way, but just in my own way.

After all, I do pretty well with life.

Happy *almost* Friday!

personal goals - go get 'em.

I want to teach at a university.
I want to have a permanent home and a family.
I want to research film music, and I would like to write a text book some day.

Life is crazy and intense and overwhelming.
Every day brings tons of things to keep us from achieving our dreams and accomplishing what we really want to accomplish.

Well, I can either sit back and let the little things keep me down/distract me from productivity, or I can embrace everything each day brings, while purposefully moving forward towards what I want, and enjoying today.

Happy Friday all.
