My Halloween

               For many a Halloween I have been a free spirit.  You know, I was a gypsy or a hippie or something to do with nature.  Ever since I was a child nothing has made me feel more alive than being outside.  When I feel sick all I have to do is lay on the ground.  Sounds really weird, but when I lie on the real ground, not just the floor, I feel 10 times better.  It's crazy but it's me.  I think I get my strength from the earth.  I think I came from the earth.  You know sprouted like a flower right from the ground. 

                        Sometimes when I dream,(and it's not a nightmare) I dream of running.  Running and running until I can't anymore, then I collapse on the ground and the roots of a giant tree pull me into the ground, but I'm not scared.  It almost feels like I belong.  Another dream I have is one where I'm lying in a small pool of water.  I drift to the side of the small pool, and stand up, only to begin sinking into the slick mud.  But this is not a comforting feeling so I begin to struggle and cry and pry until I wake up.  The two dreams are very controversial.  I thought you might enjoy trying to interpret what they mean.

Happy Hallows Eve,

Crying

I used to hate crying.  I hated the way it burned my cheeks.  I hated the way I couldn't control it.  I thought it was a sign of weakness.  But as I've grown I have seen some of the strongest people I know cry.  I find crying almost a release.  A constant companion of late.  I almost do it on purpose now.  Some people cut, I cry. It is a sweet a release,  when no one is looking a small warm drop falling off my cheek feels nice and comforting.  It doesn't make you weak it makes you strong. 

With much love,

Beautiful

Have you ever taken a good look at your face?  Without any makeup?  Well I challenge you to do that.  But do it with confidence in yourself.  Ignore the negatives and focus on the positives.  Don't say you're ugly.  Nobody is ugly.  The word ugly was made by some hateful guy who wanted to make others miserable.  As long as you are okay with your self then that's all that matters.  If you are beautiful on the inside then you will always be beautiful on the outside.

Be your own kind of Beautiful.

Love,

Lil Red 

Do What Makes You Happy

People will judge you no matter what you do.  No one is ever gonna be happy with all of your choices.  So I say do what makes you happy and what feels right to you.  Don't let other people choose for you.  You are your own person and you deserve to be happy.  So say what you want and say what you mean.  Say whats on your mind.  Be who you are under all those layers, and use a knife because peeling takes to long.  You only Live once so make it count.

Well that's all I had to rant about today.  

With much love,

Lil Red
