What I feel it needs, what I think it means. I hope people listen - er - read what I have to say. I will write about what I think is truly important to have a fulfilling, happy, and meaningful life. I will not bias on any religion or theology. That is what is wrong with most teachings of life. They teach that the way is only the Bible - which is highly possible, but then it comes with the price of having to choose a way of interpreting the Word. Jews are right and Mormons are wrong. Catholicism is the only way and Jehovah's Witnesses are weird. That is all a big problem in the world., and I will talk about that later. But this post is just an introductory. I have introduced what I will do, and now I will introduce who I am, and then why I am doing this.
Who is the Author?
(Always wanted to say that)
My name is Stephanie Isabel Maria Zertuche Madrid. I mainly just go by Stephanie Isabel Madrid. Some call me Stephanie, some call me Izzy or Isabel. Some switch back and forth. Besides family, there is only one person on the planet who I will ever let call me Stephy. More on that later.
I am a full-fledged Air Force brat, and can claim 3 continents home and went to 3 different elementary schools. I have seen the world at a young age, and cannot wait to see it again through wiser eyes. My family is from San Antonio, TX and it has always been my "home", which is why I chose to move here for college. I went to high school in Edmond, OK and was a proud ESFHS Wolf :)
My parents met in high school and got married a year before I was born. I have an older half brother from my mother's first marriage, but to me he is full blood and I will love him until the end of forever. As some of you know, my parents are going through a divorce now, something that came as a shock to me. But I love both my parents dearly and have no bitterness towards either of them.
I am 20 years old and not taking any courses this semester. But I am happier than I ever thought I could be, for this summer I started teaching. Dance. My biggest life passion. I crave to go to work. Those kids are my life and breath. I regret nothing in my life.
Why am I Doing This?
I'm not exactly sure...maybe because people have been telling me for a while that I should. Maybe because I think I can help the world. Maybe because I am tired of people not knowing who I really am. Maybe because I can't handle a million thoughts in my head anymore and need to get them out somehow...
Conclusion
I read a lot. Old books, new books, self help, fiction, fact, whatever. My favorite book, one that I have based my views on life off of is Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. I read it every year to keep in check with my values. So if you are looking for a book to read that is very easy and very relatable, I recommend it.
Your Assignment
Make a list of the 5 most important things to you in your life. Could be your mom, your friends, your job, whatever. Think carefully. Now, take away one thing. And then another. And keep going. See what is most important to you. You can learn a lot about yourself by doing this and what your values are.
Twist: Ask yourself, which of these 5 things can translate to LOVE? As in, they give you love or you give it love?
That is all my dears. :) Smile!
