Capitol Hill Dreaming
This a compilation of everything ME. From weight loss, to food, inspiration, life, love, and the pursuit of happiness, cute boys, and some good food.
This blog has no theme... people are cluttered, minds are never in order... this is not supposd to be either.
Welcome to my side of the fence... the grass is way greener :)
This bothers me a bit, the “all or nothing” mentality of it all. The quote below, however, explains it a lot better.
“If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery—isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.”
― Charles Bukowski, Factotum
This goes both ways you know…

Twenty five for the Road… and finally believing that this is possible :)
1. What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what. (This is my creed.)
2. You define your own life. Don’t let other people write your script.
3. Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.
4. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time. (A lesson from Maya Angelou.)
5. Worrying is wasted time. Use the same energy for doing something about whatever worries you.
6. What you believe has more power than what you dream or wish or hope for. You become what you believe.
7. If the only prayer you ever say is thank you, that will be enough. (From the German theologian and humanist Meister Eckhart.)
8. The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you give.
9. Failure is a signpost to turn you in another direction.
10. If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else thinks, the world will not fall apart.
11. Trust your instincts. Intuition doesn’t lie.
12. Love yourself and then learn to extend that love to others in every encounter.
13. Let passion drive your profession.
14. Find a way to get paid for doing what you love. Then every paycheck will be a bonus.
15. Love doesn’t hurt. It feels really good.
16. Every day brings a chance to start over.
17. Being a mother is the hardest job on earth. Women everywhere must declare it so.
18. Doubt means don’t. Don’t move. Don’t answer. Don’t rush forward.
19. When you don’t know what to do, get still. The answer will come.
20. ”Trouble don’t last always.” (A line from a Negro spiritual, which calls to mind another favorite: This, too, shall pass.)
My current reality… I just wanna forget… and I’m having dinner with him tonight. FUCK.
Nothing more to say…
and this is true for absolutely everything in life. From deciding to loose weight, to acing that test, to making yourself happy.
This is on my wall, in my room. I look at it every morning and every night and every time I do I find a part of my day when I followed one of those rules…
Lately “Spend all your money” and “Tell the truth” have been pretty big on my list… and “date someone totally wrong for you”
Have you ever followed any of these little rules?
yes, Yes, YES, YES!!!

“All the Things I know right now, if I only Knew back then…”
I wouldn’t be this outta shape….
It’s not just beauty that’s in the eye of the beholder….
and that’s why sometimes we just have a little too much fun….
while we are all locked up in here…
