⛺ ADVENTURE SCOUTS 🌠

If you were looking for the Adventure Scouts online it is here. This is a personal blog, and that is a group site, so stupid opinions I may or may not have here shouldn’t reflect on that amazing group of people.

WHY THE SITE NAME IS : BORN TO BE ALIVE

WHY I WRITE: I WRITE TO STAY PRODUCTIVE/ACCOUNTABLE:

In the past, I may have had different motivations or aspirations, but this year I’ve found writing about my goals and life helps me stay way more accountable and consistent, which I have struggled with. It also helps me process my emotions, feel less overwhelmed and I get a ton of reader support and ideas, which is very helpful and motivating. It’s helping me climb out of the pandemic funk and feel like I’m doing “enough” as a human being, which feels good. I also like to speak about truths that I found, which I feel are tricky to find, it doesn’t seem to happen often, but when it happens I write about it…

ABOUT MY EMOJITHUSIASM:

For me, the emojis pay homage to our different, but equal psychological “lens” of the world and celebrate my respect to diversity…

I’ve was a huge fan of symbology before emojis even existed. 1. They tie the left and right brain together for me, but 2. they are different for everyone’s systems, I actually love that, so what looks beautiful to me, may not work or may be ugly on your system. It sounds like a flaw in an article or web design, but to me it’s a reminder of how much our soul’s lens color our world (a lot, but not completely).

I love looking at my blog from my phone, tablet, and computer and seeing it differently.

I prefer the emojis to not be broken, but when they are, it reminds me of ancient sutras with certain words that are lost to time, rendered incomprehensible by lingual shifts.

I find it beautiful, freeing, and healing to so easily add some color and beauty to the black-and-white words (which have a beauty of their own). I use emojipedia.org to access emojis, since I write from a computer that has been a fun and helpful resource to me for many years.

Poem for the road?

What happens to a dream deferred?

      Does it dry up

      like a raisin in the sun?

      Or fester like a sore—

      And then run?

      Does it stink like rotten meat?

      Or crust and sugar over—

      like a syrupy sweet?

      Maybe it just sags

      like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?
