Spring Cleaning

A little while ago Danja suggested that bloggers should try a spring cleaning list. I liked the idea so here is mine.


I need to....

Clean out my mind. On my poetry notebook is the chinese symbol for peace. Inside, in silver script, I wrote the words "peace of mind". That is something I strive for daily. And it seems that recently, it's been a struggle for me to achieve a state even close to peace. So I have to get my mind in order.

Dust off my poetry notebook and put some words in there.

Sweep away any pain that I've been holding onto. Mainly pain from The EX. I think I've let it all go but looking back there there are a few cobwebs I purposely overlooked. A dust bunny or two that I let live a little too long in my heart.

vacuum all the bullshit misconceptions that people hold about me. I gotta clear that shit out, suck the life outta some bullshit "holier than thou" rumors and dead that shit, once and for all.

Shake out any expectations I have for people that they haven't set for themselves. I have a tendency to hold people to expectations I hold for myself, as well as those they hold for me. However, I realize that everyone is not me and there has to be a different set for every person. So I'm working on that....

Throw away people that have no purpose in my life, as well as those who seem to only bring drama and pain.

Rearrange my priorities, especially in relationships. Me and my best friend hardly ever talk. That's my girl, but I may talk to her every 2 weeks. Maybe every week in a good month. I guess there may be something wrong with that, but who really knows? I definitely need to make sure I have the guys in my life in order before I head into the summer and meet some more (smile). Aww, don't act like everybody doesn't meet at least an average of 3 potential new "associates" in the summer!

I apologize if this post makes no sense. I didn't even read this before I hit the little orange buttin. Perhaps the next few sentences will explain why...: The section about me cleaning out my mind is probably the most important. I've been in this funky ass mood lately. I don't wanna write, I don't wanna blog, I don't wanna kick it or laugh or act silly. I just want to lay in my bed, with the window open, listening to "Must Be Nice" by Lyfe Jennings or "Missing You" by Biggie.

Any ideas to help me out of this stag are WELCOME.
