reminiscing

i like cleaning out my old stuff at home 'cause it reminds me of the good ol' days..

-when i thought body glitter was cool
-everyone was taking group pictures at imagix, cerritos towne center, wherevs
-twisties, corn rows, and squares were the cool hair styles
-everyone wore bandannas in their hair too..
-i put fake tattoos on my arm
-you met people through altar serving or family parties
-i watched MTV music videos of Aaliyah

but then i think, "wow, i was really influenced by what others were telling me was cool" and realize that i could have made different choices but didn't for whatever reason. which is why i try to question my choices, my reasoning, and my emotions now, and wish i did it more often.

so many forces in the world are trying to tell us what is right and what is wrong, and for myself i try to go with what i feel is right (like feel deep in my bones if it is right).
