New Blog!

visit me: Lindsey Frenzy

He sayz: "read Lindsey's new blog!"

I have a new project on the way, my new blog entitled Lindsey Frenzy. This will be a spin off of the L word but is going to take a light-hearted approach to my life, the things I like, product reviews, funny stuff.

But not to worry, the L word shall remain as my creative writing space. So don't forget about us!

Tune in! Coming soon!

re-cap

Last year was a "coming of age year" for me. I met lots of new people, spent time in different social groups, dated several people, and generally broadened my horizons. I made some crazy decisions that thankfully did not end up hurting me. I came up from the depths only to find myself re-visiting them. I started the journey of figuring things out and so far it has been a twisting, rocky, and interesting road. 

a few things I realized/ learned from these experiences that I am now just starting to process are: 

- first and foremost, that i need to love myself. really. I am confident and makin' it on my own!

- don't be blinded by the bling. money, power and random fancy trips across the country aren't always going to serve you well. I'd rather sit in the company of someone that I like at a coffee shop or at home than in a baller suite at the palms with someone I can't stand. 

- getting drunk is only fun if you have a D.D.

- weed out the losers that accumulate in your life. I have realized the power in surrounding myself with genuine, true, healthy people. If someone gets weird say goodbye.

- who the hell cares about being cool. I've never really cared about being cool but I have been around A LOT of people who do. Just be yourself and don't try to fit some social group's definition of suuper awesome. lameee. DON'T be a "hanger on." Rock your own shit. 

- smoking is bad for your health. don't do it. period.

Some of these are funny and some are serious. But honestly they are my lessons and my guidelines that I want to stick with. I'm happy I've learned so much and am able to start out on a new path! 

Cheers!

A Girl Can Dream!

me today

I am:

complicated, wretched, wonderfully inspired, caught in the threads of my mind's images; hurting, yearning, messy, solitary, reeling, coming to grips with a reality all my own. 

squirrel inspiration

Sometimes I find meaning and inspiration in the strangest places. Today sitting at my desk, I looked out my window and watched a squirrel climbing up one of the tall pine trees behind my apartment. In her mouth were a bunch of leaves, though I must admit I didn't know that squirrels built nests in trees? Anyway, a few leaves fell out of her mouth down to the ground. She paused, turned around for a second and then continued up the tree with the remaining leaves. This somehow how reminded me that it is important to continue to move forward in life even when you encounter some setbacks. Most of the time it isn't worth it to revisit the past over and over again but instead take what you have and press onward. 

short thoughts

And then I knew. I knew laying there in my bed, rain beating down on the roof overhead. I knew I would be alone for a while. I told myself, "get used to it. You would rather be the distraction than the fool." No I would never be the fool.  But the distraction is alone on rainy nights. So here I am alone. And I wouldn't have it any other way. alone. That's where i'll be. Because you know what, alone is safer.
