as i continue to journey through life and go through new experiences, and overcome challenges in my life, i've discovered some characteristics that i may have either put it behind my brain and never realized... or developed over the years, and i wanted to share that with you.. so here it is...
1) I'm a constant seeker of kindness...
(about 3 years ago, i've made a conscious effort to be a better person. To be kind to others in ALL circumstances are hard, but i strive to do my best...)
2)I don't know why, but I put up a tough exterior.
( why do i do that? i don't know... people think i'm sooo tough and so strong... sometimes i want to scream out that i need someone to hold me..)
3)I'm clueless about my heritage
( this is something i need to work on... I was born in seoul, korea.. and grew up in hawaii all my life.. because i don't have a strong relationship with my parents, i don't really know about being korean. i wish i knew the culture and the language at least... so i really need to work on that..BUT i do know that I LOVE korean food~~~ hey, that's a start!)
4) FEAR drives me and breaks me
(I've been leading a life as a dancer for 11 years now.. and i love it. and i happen to be good at it. it feels natural and it feels good to me. it feels good to express myself that way.. but i've always wanted to be a singer ever since i was little... but FEAR is my enemy.. it tells me i'm not good enough... so FEAR drives me to prove that i am good enough and more. i've recently started working on this project and it feels amazing!!! i can't wait to release!)
5)I love L.A.
( i moved here when i was 19 full of hope and drive, and no naive!!! and i hated it. i was soooo lonely and i wasnt prepared. so after about a year, i ended up moving back home to hawaii. since then, my mind's been back here... always.... i was never fully happy... so i moved back to L.A. in 2007. Guess what? i love it!! i understand a little more about myself and where i want to head in life.. i love being around creative people and they really inspire me.. and what better place than L.A. to be around creativity, right?!!!
6)i love PRINCE! i really do...
( he is on a different level of creativity. he is so interesting to me.. i always wonder what is going on inside his head...... and his music... come on!!)
7) I wish i had the characteristics of being myself 100% of the time!
(This bothers me a lot!!! WTF?! oh and when i'm around someone i really like.... forget about it..... after hanging out with that person, i walk away feeling ," i swear i'm really fun!! "
i hate that...... if you know the cure to this.... please tell me how!)
8)i like to watch sad movies and cry my eyes out.. and then i feel so much better...
i do this often..lol
9)i love staying home!!!
( i love going out and having fun, but most of the time, i just wanna stay in with some takeout food and a good movie... like.....80% of the time... this is what i do)
10)i really love my friends...
(my golden friends are amazing... i don't really let people into my life easily.. so when i make friends, i'm really careful, and i take my sweet time. I am so greatful for my friends and i can't live without them... i am truly blessed.)
#4 - Yup, let that fear drive you, not deter you!! I let that icky monster bug me for YEARS, until one day I woke up (literally!) and said, "silly Misty, get your poetry out there, girl!!" It't funny how the things we love and enjoy (for me, ice skating) are nowhere NEAR as fear-driven as the things that are truly needful and absolutely necessary to our souls. It's so hard to face possible rejection of those secret parts of ourselves, yeah??
ReplyDeleteAnd #7 - Sheesh, I think we all want to know how to do that! It's so HORRIBLE to leave a friend and say to yourself, "D'OH! That wasn't me!! WHY???????" *hugs* Well, as long as you're yourself (*most of the time, at least) with your golden friends, it's all good. And they understand when you aren't. :)
misty, you're awesome. thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteYoori ~ I'm pretty sure I have heard you sing. It was on some random video that i saw somewhere and you have a beautiful voice!! Get out there girl!!! I'll listen to you!!! <3
ReplyDeleteOh, and Prince... AWESOME!!!! LOVE HIM!!!
