Paint-By-Number Person

I feel like writing again.

I was in a Christmas shop a few days back and I found a bunch of wall hangings with sayings I really liked. I took pictures of them on my phone [I'm so technologically advanced!] and now I want to share.

"Live well, laugh often, love much." Makes me think of Maddy [livelaughlove!]. It's a good idea, though, for stress relief. Especially the laughing part. It may seem improbable, but yes, even I am capable of giggling. And there's no point to having relationships with other human beings if you aren't going to love them [hence the reason I love my siblings]. And, well, life is kind of crucial to the whole "living" idea. Can't be alive if you don't live.

"The best thing about having a sister is I always have a friend." Too true! I love having my sisters. I don't have a biological sister [well, maybe, if Thena and I are right about Paul...] so I make do with my not-so-biological ones. It's nice to know that even when we all irritate each other and we're fighting like angry animals, we still love each other because we're sisters. Isn't that lovely?

And finally, my favorite:
"Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself." YES! EXACTLY! YAY! Life IS about creating yourself. You're only as good as you make yourself out to be. And despite popular belief, you can't just find yourself anywhere. I'd love to--it would make things so much easier--but it seems as if the only place I can be found is within my own mind.

So I'm gonna make myself. I'm gonna fill in all the blanks. I'll color myself exactly how I see fit, just like a paint-by-numbers kit [except I will pick the numbers and colors]. I will make me.

Good luck creating yourself. :] Not easy, but necessary. If you need paint, I might have extra...
