To have succeeded.

To laugh often and much, to win the respet of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, or a garden patch... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

intertwined.

You matter. Regardless of who you are. You matter. You could have stumbled upon this blog by accident. and that's fine, because regardless, you matter. every human being on this planet has something significant about them. I am someone who is involved in music, who loves to inspire people through my creativity and emotional outlets.

You are loved. You are loved. You are loved.

Dear God,

I hope your listening, it's me, Mollie. I can't pour myself onto a computer screen. it doesn't work for me. I'm brutally honest. this is how I feel. I want to escape. I want to love until it hurts. I want to laugh until my stomach is thriving in pain. I want to smile until my cheeks blister from excitement. exhaustion from happiness, mm, this is how I want to feel. I want to feel joy in every aspect possibly. This is all I wish. tangible objects mean nothing to me.. I want life to smack me in the fact.

Love, Molls.

difference.

remarkable.

I want to remember this summer, two-thousand and ten.
I have a few goals in mind. I shall accomplish these things.

I've decided I want to keep a journal - I think this will keep me in touch with what's really important in life. it'll give me a sense of stability, something i'm going to do at the same time, everyday. I need to reflect on my actions at the end of the day.

I'm going to take pictures - I want to capture the beauty in regular things. I want to have laughter, emotions, feelings captivated and absorbed in a picture. I can drown myself in the feelings that come back when I look at them for however long I wish.

I want to visit Seattle more - I love experiencing all the twists and turns of such a remarkable city. There's so much hussle and bussle in my regular life I find it hard to really initiate change the way I want to. for some reason, when I'm in Seattle, I feel relaxed. it's strange, but oddly calming.

I want to mean everything to someone - I want to go to hell and back with someone. I want to experience everything with someone. I want to drown in emotion, realize their real and completely pure personality. to discover what friendship really means. most of the time, the way humans act is completely false, and candy-coated. I want a real, fiery, spirited friendship with a significant and genuine human being.

I want these things, and that is all. In the long run, it's not about me.

Love, Molls

we as humans, I don't think, fully realize the daily necessitites we have. and when I say this, I don't mean tangible objects, I mean the spiritual & emotional things that get us through day to day happenings. I pity people who can get through the day by brushing their teeth, reading a book, and eating a meal.

I think there is so much more to life, that I myself can't put it into words. living is waking up in the morning, knowing you're good for something. it's the butterflies in your stomach and the carefree curiosity of your soul. living is purely spreading happiness among those you love, and having a good insight and way of thinking. It's such an unhealthy way to live if you wake up in the morning, with no confidence, expecting the world to throw it's worst at you, and not realizing all the good things that could happen. living simply isn't enough, one must have a pure soul, a genuine heart, and a carefree spirit. loving, my friends, is all we can do. the rest will simply happen. Love, Molls

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.
