love.

That's what my coffee cup says, anyway.


When it comes to love, for me, I think of animals, and nature, and family. Of course I also love my iPod and I love my phone and I love my laptop... But those things are all a greedy obsession, which is one most humans share today. What most people today are lacking is a love and appreciation for the earth we live on. These days, people have gotten so bad that if you even say something like what I just said, then everyone is just calling you a tree-hugger or whatever else. No. Appreciation for our beautiful Earth is perfectly reasonable for anyone regardless of their tree-hugging status. Ever since I was in elementary school, my peers have called me that. When I was younger, I would simply say, "Yeah, I do hug trees. They're nicer than you." or something of that sort. It wasn't true, I think in my life I've only hugged a tree maybe once or twice, and then only to see if I could reach my arms all the way around it. However I've always had a good, deep connection with Earth. When I was a baby, people were almost frightened by me, because they would look into my eyes and not see the innocent baby they were looking at, but they would see wise, soulful eyes that threatened to expose all your deepest secrets. My mama says it's because I have an "old-soul". Perhaps in a previous life I learned the lessons many do, and I kept them with me through to my new life. Either way... I do seem like a crazy, energetic teenage girl with an unbound amount of moxie - and this is true, I am - but there's that side of me that rarely people see. That side that knows your secrets and knows Earth better than family. When I look into your eyes, and I steal your secrets, feel secure in the fact that I wont tell anyone. Your secret is safe with me. 


Now that I'm done being strange...
Enjoy the beautiful weather we've been having. ^_^
