what is your gold?

gold isn’t just a stone and not all gold is heavy. it doesn’t all shine. hell… most gold is not gold at all. gold is the purest form of one’s individual happiness. to some… it is simple. it can be toes in the sand. open road. a song. to others it may be a hand to hold. to me… gold flakes can even be found on a face. in a voice. in hours spent laughing. in hair falling in front of a pair of shy eyes. in the stars. in pair of lips. gold can be an idea. a being. a state of mind. it is anything you make of it. what is value? what makes something valuable? is it demand? is it based on how rare or pure it is? or is it just how major of a roll it plays in your happiness and/or well being? how can love truly ever be measured? whatever it is… the most precious things found in the world… the things that are worth the most… are not worth selling and are never needed to be bought. they just need to be found. the value is found in the soul. it is not transferrable. never sell the even smallest pieces of your soul. if it brings you light. if it brings you love. hold onto it. it is no one else’s to hold. no one else can tell how much your gold weighs. hold on to whatever it is. tightly. by saying “hold on”… i don’t mean hide it in a safe. gold should not be locked up in a steel cage. it should not be hidden. gold should be held and felt by our bare hands. it should be seen with our own eyes. it should be constantly touched. by holding what we value in our hands… we can feel the texture. the weight. we can make sure that it’s there. gold isn’t always found early on in life. it can take someone many moons to find what they are looking for. sometimes it stands in front of your eyes just once. sometimes it lingers. we can never be sure. however… one thing IS for sure. if it’s there… if it’s right in front of you… you better take it. it won’t be there forever. don’t let it blind you. don’t let anyone else have a chance at it. what are you afraid of? losing it after you find it? just because it is worth substantial amounts… doesn’t mean you should worry about losing it. if you don’t let it go… it can’t be lost. keep that grip. it’s better to have something pure and heavy for a split moment… than to never feel it at all. as humans… the worst thing we can ever do is deny ourselves happiness. how do you measure gold? your heart. not by time.. not by business.. but by happiness. by love. our mind’s are calculators. you can put numbers in them. you can type amounts and weights in. but even the most powerful of minds and calculators will never be able to tell you what is truly right for you and what is going to take you to paradise. love can’t be calculated. only felt. it’s the heart that is the universe’s most underrated scale. if it weighs heavy on your heart.. if it makes you feel.. if it makes you fight… you need to never let it go. stop putting in numbers and thinking in dimes. you are wasting more than just your time. don’t let something or someone that is dear to you fall into someone else’s pocket. that gold… that happiness.. that opportunity is yours. you deserve it. it is yours to keep forever. have you found gold? i can honestly say that i have. i am one of the lucky ones. i may be just a pile of bones… but those bones can one day lay to rest knowing i have found something worth laying to rest for. i have felt it. i have sang to it. i have leaned on her shoulder and whispered into her ear. you’re going to have to detach my hands and arms from my body before you ever see me let my gold go. i’d rather hold gold in my hands with the possibility of it being rough and scratching me… than hold any other smooth, safe stone in these hands. it is mine. let it be yours. it is in my sky. it is under my skin. it is under her eyes. and it is in every deep breath that i take. i hope to be someone’s gold someday. just know that not all of us shine… but we all have worth. we all are gold in ways that we can’t yet see or feel… and in due time we will all find a piece of our own. when you do… just promise me that you’ll wear it proudly and loudly. it belongs to no one else. don’t let me go.

find your gold.

disneylandguru: “Magical” is a dazzling new fireworks...

Mon, 04 Jun 2012 23:37:16 -0400

disneylandguru:

“Magical” is a dazzling new fireworks spectacular in which colorful, precisely choreographed pyrotechnics burst and soar to a soundtrack of celebratory Disney songs.

With an airborne Tinker Bell host along with special guest, Dumbo the flying elephant, ignite the night sky with a myriad of fireworks magic.

“Magical” is composed of five sequences, each celebrating a different magical experience:

“The Magic of Childhood” special appearance of Tinker Bell waving her wand to launch the fireworks.

“The Magic of a Wish” Geppetto wishes to the Blue Fairy that Pinocchio could be a real boy.

“The Magic of Imagination” the teachings of Mary Poppins.

“The Magic of a Mother’s Love” inspired by little Dumbo when learns to fly.

“The Magic of Love’s First Kiss” featuring Disney Princesses.

While I do love the fireworks, it really bugs me that the picture attached to this is of the WDW castle and not the Disneyland one, since the fireworks show is shown there and not at WDW. #gettingoffmysoapboxnow

“We’re still here. We just won’t see you every week. I like that tone, and I like that feel. So I kind of wanted to leave the fans with that, like Tree Hill will always be here. And I think that’s a nice place to be.”

Day 2: A song that reminds you of your most recent ex-bf/gf

Just one? There’s an entire playlist out there but if I HAVE to pick ONE it goes a little something like this:

…It was the kinda night where mornin’ came too soon…Cause it’s never goodbye…

…I stayed up hours on end at night watching him in the studio craft this song. I don’t have the heart to delete it from my computer even though it would probably be a lot healthier for me in the long run. All it does is serve as a reminder of how GOOD things were between us.

*sigh*

Day 1: A song from my childhood: “Fishin’ in the Dark” by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band…it was the first song I ever knew all the words to. This came even before any Raffy or Wheels on the Bus…I’m talking…I was like…two years old. I think. Can you form sentences at two? LOL.

I feel like I’m trying SO hard for someone who is only trying to push me away. Trying to make conversation and getting two word answers back and no real interest in asking me questions or bringing up another subject. Is this what growing apart feels like? It’s been so long since I’ve been in THIS part of a relationship, I almost forgot what it felt like. At what point do I just give up and stop trying?

This commercial makes me cry every single time.

It doesn’t take much for anything Disney related to make me cry but I remember seeing this commercial on TV as a kid and not thinking much of it but damn if I didn’t just get teary eyed watching it now.

There is something about this movie/book that puts everything...

Sat, 10 Sep 2011 18:54:58 -0400

There is something about this movie/book that puts everything into focus for me and calms my mind. After the past few days where my whole reason for moving out here came tumbling down around me in ruins, I’ve been in a funk. A SERIOUS one. If interning with them wasn’t the reason for moving here then what was? I have NEVER been a patient person…I really need to work on it…and I know that things don’t happen on MY TIME but on His…and there IS a reason that I needed to be in Los Angeles RIGHT NOW. I just don’t know what it is yet and really don’t have any idea where it’s going to come from.

Anyway…being in the funk I’ve been in, I grabbed my book and started reading again, highlighting everything that sticks out to me (which is basically the entire book) and making lists in the margins of everything I want to do in my life. Doing so got me thinking…I’ve already been able to cross off a LOT on my list. The biggest one so far being moving to Los Angeles. Regardless of what brought me out here in the first place—I took the first step. I took care of the hard part…packed up my life into my 2-door civic and drove across the country, leaving everything that was “comfortable” behind in Orlando. I hate feeling like I have the past few days and after watching the movie I’ve decided I’m not going to feel that way anymore. There IS something in the works for me and I’m giving it over to Him now to handle. Worrying doesn’t get you anywhere but feeling tired, stressed out, and pulling away from people just because it’s easier to do than to actually TALK about what’s wrong.

That being said…I’m going to enjoy the opportunity I’ve been given. I’ve got time on my hands right now that I haven’t had in a while since I’m not working yet so why not explore my new surroundings and get settled into my new home?

I don’t know what is it about this book/her words…maybe its the fact that when the movie came out I went and saw it by myself and was completely comfortable with the fact that I was in a packed theatre, alone, and felt COMPLETELY liberated by doing so. Whatever the case, I’m glad I thought to put the book in a box and haul it out here with me…it’s a good reminder for me when I need a kick in the ass.
