Obsessive learning was my first coping mechanism.

Why is it that dogs assume that they are entitled to a bit of every single piece of anything food related that we have? I think it’s because of the pack mentality. If I eat, you eat. Pretty simple – take care of your own.
Humanity needs more of that mentality on a bigger scale.

Patience is a virtue, that’s what they say. But some days, it’s a unicorn. A completely fictional thing that does not exist anywhere in your reality.

Life is kinda like one of those little metal merry go rounds that we all used to love, where the “big kids” would push it way too fast sometimes, and you’re sitting there, exhilarated but terrified, going in circles insanely fast, just hoping you can hang on and not go flying off toward your demise.

One day, I will write a book.
One day, I will take that risk.
One day, I will talk to that person I’m curious about.
One day, I will rest.
One day, I will go to Sandia Crest.
One day, I will star gaze all night.
One day, I will ride in a hot air balloon.
One day, I will finish that self portrait.
One day…
One day..
One day.
There is only one day. Today.

There are cycles within cycles within cycles…. how do people not see this?

What is it that causes children to lose their resilience and fearlessness as they get older? Seriously, a 2 year old can faceplant into the floor while using the couch as a jungle gym then get up like nothing happened and continue using the couch as a jungle gym without a second thought. That is freaking awesome. We need to retain that mindset for far longer in life.

I have thought, many times, and heard other people say that they wish they knew what their dog/cat/pet is thinking.
Animals don’t have language like we do, at least as far as we can tell. So that would not work, because our thoughts are based on language. What if, though – we could know what emotion our pet is experiencing? Because animals experience emotions. If you don’t believe that, I think you don’t have a soul. But if you could look into your pet’s eyes and know that they are feeling longing, love, anger, fear, apprehension or just lost in general…. how much better would that make our relationship with them? I know for a fact that dogs and cats can feel whatever emotions you are experiencing, and can respond accordingly. Now, with cats, it’s questionable how they react, but with dogs…. Dogs want to make any negative emotion better and enhance any positive emotion. They take action to do so. They cuddle when you’re upset, they lick your face or hug you when you’re sad, they get excited and wag their tail when you’re happy, they bark when you’re afraid.
I want the ability to do the same type of thing for my dogs, present and future. I just don’t know how.

Everything that has ever existed was once nothing more than an imagining of someone’s mind.

I saw a tattoo I almost got when I was about 20…. I saw it on a corpse in a thriller show.
