Outliers

I just started reading Outliers by Malcom Gladwell. 

First things first: the name Malcom just sounds like a born writer. This is me being bias. 

Secondly, I'm only 92 pages in, but in one day reading in my spare time while doing other activities. If I sat down and read this all day I think I would have finished it already. It's really interesting. It's a more factual book, giving a reason to why people luck out the way they do in successful outcomes basically. We always just think people go from nothing to everything but in reality people with advantages to begin with are the ones who end up as the President of the United States. 

I love reading. It opens your mind to so many other ideas. I don't understand why humans when they graduate from high school or college fail to continue their learning. This is what seperates  intelligence. I truly believe that people to continue their education in all aspects of their life are the ones who have a better understanding of their surroundings. They have things to talk about. They have meaningful opinions. 

I know there are so many people in the world like this, but there are also so many people with closed minds who are ignorant and have no interest in questioning the world around them. 

Why! 

I'm not going to rant, I just wish I could find the people who have similar interests as I do, and talk about things that matter with them, opposed to sitting in a room on our cell phones scrolling through Instagram and Facenook talking about the next person we went to high school with who is pregnant now. 

(Nothing against prego, I love yall and your cute little nuggets!) 

The end. 

The present is a g i f t !

I don't care if it's 3 AM//// I'm still waking up at 6:45 for the sunrise.

Life is so damn beautiful. I love the way each day feels fresh and like the past is fully behind me.

So much of me wishes I could just give this feeling to the people I know who seem to be stuck in the day of yesterday, or wondering where tomorrow will go. The present is a called the present because it's truly a gift. We're so lucky to be here to enjoy each moment, to live to the fullest of the day. I don't see the point in worrying about the future. The only way I can see it being a problem is if there's some sort of countdown for a due date or something, that you've got to get accomplished.

Maybe it's just because I graduated so the only thing I really have to worry about is waking up for work so I can pay my bills, but at the same time I don't even worry about that because my job is awesome and I save my money so it's never a problem.

I am fortunate to wake up every morning and see the sun come over the horizon of the Atlantic Ocean, walk back to my house a block away and lay in bed with my sweet puppy <3. Such a beautiful life.

People constantly ask what I'm doing and if I'm working towards some sort of steps to get me into a corporate position in a Logistics company or something, but I'm just at the moment in my life where whatever happens is going to happen. If I get a job, that's great. If I don't, I'm 100% okay with that. I love my life!

I am so happy in the moments I'm in.

I really am.

Thank you World.

It's very amazing to me how much my life has changed by a certain outlook. Looking at my life in terms of this:

The moments are just here for that, a moment. Things will constantly happen and pass us by, and there's no way to change something you wish could have been different. Life is just about the way you react to the situation you're given. It's like the card saying that life deals you a hand of cards and you have to find your strategy. It's so clear to me... Accept the things you cannot change.

It's changed everything about my life. A year ago I was downloading mass amounts of Lana Del Rey (Who I love) and sulking for things I had no control over. And today I am extremely happy, making moves towards a life I love and am proud of.

I can't wait for the future and what it has in store for me. If it goes how I want it to, I'm going to be able to see so many places in the next year and make so many new memories. I also want to start a business based on my creative outlets and I really think I have investors who are going to help.

All I can say is: Phuck Yes.

I love Pie.

I love pie. I do! I do!

I love healthy stuff too!

That way I don't feel bad about eating it. 

Thus, I made this pie today with just a graham cracker crust, 6 Fiji apples, cinnamon, Fat Free Cool Whip (coohip?) and Sugar Free Cheesecake Instant Pudding. 

Throw it all together, and put it in the freezer for about an hour and it's seriously so amazing. I sprinkled the top with cinnamon and drizzled it with honey...!!!! I'm a genius I know.
