I envy those who have no problem expressing themselves and know just the right way to do it. Some people express through music or through art, others through photos or through writing. Whatever it may be, they know what they’re doing, and they know how to do it well, and most importantly, they don’t worry about the judgment of others. I am not one of those people. I’ve been struggling to find myself lately. I’m not sure who I am or how to show the world who I am. That’s not something I’m proud of, or really care to admit to. But I’m sick of being “lost.”

I’m hoping that creating this tumblr account can help me out in finding myself and expressing who I really am. I looked at a few of my friend’s pages and it amazed me how much of that person I saw in their page. I’m hoping to do the same with mine. Who knows, maybe creating this account will do nothing for me- I guess there’s only one way to find out…</description><title>Victoria</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @victoriaar)</generator><link>http://victoriaar.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>I’ve been listening to the music from the musical...</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GuVXndGD5mE?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ve been listening to the music from the musical “Edges” all morning, I absolutely love it. The piano is great, the singing is great and the lyrics are great. I feel like each song relates to my life in some way or another.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There’s a saying that goes something along the lines of “Love is when you can’t fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams.” Well what about the opposite? What about when all you want to do is sleep because dreams are better than your reality?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m sick of waking up wishing I was…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m sick of waking up wishing I was someone and somewhere else. I open my eyes and &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s Just Another Day&amp;#8221; plays in my head. I need change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I love being on or by water. I think it’s so peaceful and it’s a nice place to just sit and think. I wish I was at Crotch Lake right now, I could use some time with my thoughts.

&lt;p&gt;                        -Frank Warren&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; After hearing Frank Warren speak last night I came to a realization: we all have secrets. Ok, so it&amp;#8217;s not something that I didn&amp;#8217;t already know, but it really made me think about the secrets I&amp;#8217;m holding in. I’m starting to notice how much I’ve been shutting myself off from the world lately. I keep putting up walls in hopes that people won’t see how I truly feel. I wish I didn’t do this. I’m not sure how I became this way because I used to be someone who was very open with the world. I wasn’t afraid to share my feelings. But as I grow up, I’m noticing that I’m keeping more and more inside. I think having these secrets and not sharing them with anyone is part of the reason I’ve been struggling with self-expression so much. Instead of expressing how I really feel I put on a mask because it’s easier that way. It’s easier to mask the feelings then it is to bring them to the surface and deal with them. Keeping all of the feelings and secrets inside is really starting to affect me, as I’m sure it would any person. I want to try and fix this though. I wish I could say that right now I’m going to take off the mask and hide no more, but unfortunately it’s not that easy. I do want to start expressing my feelings more and work on releasing some of the secrets I’ve been hiding, but I think it’s something that has to be taken care of step by step, one day at a time. I already know the first step I’m going to take. I know I’m ready to start sharing secrets, but I’m not sure how ready I am to share them with those around me. So I’m going to write a secret on a postcard, and send it to Frank. It seems kind of silly, that I’m more willing to share a secret with a stranger than the people I know. But to be honest, a lot of the reason that I’ve been keeping so much in is because I’m worried about others judging me. Regardless of who it is or what it’s about I hate being judged. I know it shouldn’t matter. I should be myself and not worry about what other people think or have to say, but this is always something I’ve had a hard time with. But that’s another story for another post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; I think it’s time to write my postcard…&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://victoriaar.tumblr.com/post/372498043</link><guid>http://victoriaar.tumblr.com/post/372498043</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Feb 2010 11:14:10 -0500</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
