The list

So I have been saying for the past month or so that I've learned more about myself in that group of weeks than most of my life, but I haven't really taken anytime to organize my thoughts and extrapolate. This is a list of everything important and not so important that I have learned since I moved to a new place.

the list:
*There is no cure for acne like a liter of water and some sweat.
*Sweat is what makes not sweating so great.
*Yoga can be an almost cure-all.
*What yoga can't solve, wine can.
*What wine can't solve, time can, and it's not worth worrying over.
*I will always feel foolish when I'm learning something new. I can't keep cutting off new experiences because I am afraid of looking silly. Looking silly is the first step to all things great.
*What wine can't solve, a new place or perspective sometimes can. Moving can help the soul grow and remake itself.
*Arch support is important in all new things.
*Auriga is the winter pentagon.
*Sometimes people can completely surprise you. Everyone deserves a chance. One really great way for me to learn about myself is through exploring friendships and relationships with other people.
*Art will be around longer or as long as any person in my life. The first chkra is important.
*Country, and gospel are acceptable forms of music, and even one's I could do more than defend for the sake of diversity.
*I am not white. I am human, and collective, and as an American want to be the most culture mixed and appreciating person I can be. I've always known this. Some of the things on this list are things I knew but never really had challenged.
*Keeping all the options open is good.
*Playing the field can be fun.
*Staying at home can be as much fun.
*The Dancing Shiva is about balance. I guess I am not just a mind within a body. I must balance the ideas of mind and body, and the times of stress and activity with times of complacency or contentedness, and relaxation.
*The miniloophole is that there are type b persons on this planet that balance things overall. Balance in my life is important, but I have to be true to myself.
*A couple spoonfuls of olive oil in between meals can help with weight loss.
*It doesn't matter how attatched I am to a person. I will always be that girl that cries on and off for a month afterwards. I'm sensetive, and I have to stop beating myself up about it. I have to stop criticizing my femininity and vulnerability. Fragmenting myself to appear strong can only lead to weakness. The stress in my back is not from the fourth and a lack of compassion, but the second and third, a fear of vulnerability and the rejection of feminine tendencies.
*Berrating myself for upset makes it impossible for me to approach a situation. Sometimes loving myself through all the stupid things is the only way to make me grow.
*Fencing is not sword play. >.< But it can be a subsititute. I guess. For now.
*If you build it, they will come. HAH!!
*I don't know whether I believe in a god or a higher power, but the tools of belief seem to be good. Spiritual music can lift me, tarot and horoscopes have motivated me to do things I might not have, and exestentialism has made me question and bolster my beliefs.
*SJ+6 shots Wiskey+ 4 chain smoked cigarettes + Josh = a wall and some fun, and then appearently the spontaneous formation of people that beat us up
*SJ+6+4+J= not such a bad way to make other things seem not important
=some freedom and piece of mind
*Not being treated right and now being satisfied are not equally bad, but if things can't be fixed may be equally silly to deal with.
*Sometimes you can work things out and bailing is a bad plan.
*Ok. So this will sound really lame. But there was a girl from House, the tv show about the cane bearing doctor with the rogueishly handsome good looks, and she said that people don't get divorced because they get bored. She said they have to start being themselves eventually and stop playing the person they were on their first date. Being scared to show who I really am to friends, and family and romantic interests is silly. I can't people that won't love all of me, and I can't live with myself if I can't love myself fully.
*Puzzles are on of my favorite things in life.
*Love-romantic and otherwise- can't be fought, and won't die, but that's one of the great things about it. There is so much love in this world, and I've realized all I need do is tap into it. There is so much support, and I know I've been losing my ankles and my hips the past two months, and actually the past 6 or so, but everything is here for me if I just open my eyes.
*I don't have to move with the West winds, but I don't have to stick either.
*Rain washes it all away anyway. Only photographs don't change.

My cieling needs more stars, and my life needs more storms.
