The first one

I've never been a blogger. I don't really like it that much. But this is where I'll be posting many of my life "epiphanies", that is assuming that I'll be having many in my life time. I apologize in advanced if I can't keep it up, but I'm going to be optimistic and think that I can keep things in track. I'm a person of question- one of my favorite things to do is listen to things that people "tell" me, what I should and shouldn't do, and then figure out what puts them in the position to tell me these things. Many people are wise beyond any natural ability, other people should probably stay quiet. But none the less I will always listen, ponder, and take it into consideration. It can't hurt, can it? The blog title comes from the expectations people have of me, of themselves, of life in general. You are supposed to do this blah blah blah... so they say. Here's to a blog of questions and very few answers.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
(Helen Keller)

I beg you...to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. and the point is, to live everything. live the questions now. perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
(Rainer Maria Rilke)

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams...
(Eleanor Roosevelt)

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
(Mary Anne Radmacher)

Do one thing every day that scares you.
(Eleanor Roosevelt)

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
