What do ya know, another change. Another layout. Another style.
Same ol' girl.
Yet, so incredibly different.
Each day seems to bring so much newness.
But somehow stays the same?
I don't know how to keep up. 

This blog has seen so many changes and directions. 

Neglect as of late.  

I think that that's a good thing, though; 

Because it shows my ever evolving life....

and beliefs and desires and priorities and phases.
It's beautiful really.

Growing. 

Learning. 

Hurting. 

Suffering. 

Joy. 

Happiness. 

I don't want to neglect it anymore. I don't want this point in my life to be lost in translation. I feel it in my heart; these few years, this decade of the 20 somethings, will some of the most life shaping times of my life. No, no more neglect.

"I'm not a girl,
Not yet a woman.
All I need is time,
A moment that is mine,
While I'm in between."- Britney Spears. 

I get it now Brit. 

And yes. I did just quote B. Spears.

I don't even have a title.

Sometimes you just check out, ya know? You get busy. You struggle. You wallow. You get all sorts of scattered. I've said it about a million times on this blog and about 10x that in real life... I'm just so dang busy. Any not-busy time is spent just laying in bed or on the couch, trying push life to the back of my brain for a bit and watch Netflix in peace. I daydream about the days of consistency and a normal schedule.

Isn't that life though?
Blondes want to be brunettes, blue eyes want deep brown eyes, fat wants skinny, skinny thinks they're fat, rich wants simplicity, simplicity wants more adventure...
Always greener on the other side kind of thing.

I know all my friends that have the usual 8-5 schedule are probably thinking about how much they want to go back to their college days and that I'm "so going to regret this post in 4ish years."
And they're probably right... yet, here I am saying, let's play trade.

We all get by though.
Some days we appreciate our lot and some days we curse it.
Either way, it's ours.
We make it what we want...
Some of us have it easier than others.
Some of us cherish it better than others.
Some of us thrive more than others.

But, what can you do but put one foot in front of the other anyway?

"Don't think twice, it's alright..."- Bob Dylan.

So.... Guess who's back?

No, this isn't your news feed playing a weird mind game with you.
I am indeed back to blogging on this URL friends.

Yeah, yeah... I know I know. 
Shake your head and roll your eyes all you want, I deserve it.

I'm sorry to my friends that read my posting consistently and have followed me all over the map... I truly do appreciate you and I hope your google readers aren't all hissy with these transitions of me bouncing back and forth. I think it's safe to say I'm back for good though! 

I needed a switch and so I left blogspot. I wouldn't even say a switch, but more of a spicing up of some sort.

I found it at tumblr... the new and exciting layouts and blogging styles were fun for awhile.

(which I'm still keeping for unknown purposes-- just seems silly to get rid of it) 

However, the blogging just wasn't the same there. In fact, there wasn't much blogging at all on my end.
I figured sometimes you have to let something go to figure out how much it really means to you.. For example, your blogging websites.
Yes, I did just use that analogy.  But hey, I figured if famous athletes, musicians, and starlets can go in and out of retirement (some more than once), surely I can leave and come back to blogger, right?!

So, here goes my second attempt at blogging on this bad boy. To all those that will see this, I'm sorry and thank you for putting up with me! I promise to try to stay in one place this time :)

Happy reading!

Sam I Am

Hey ya! My name is Sam and this is my blog. If you're reading this now I want to thank you for taking the time to get to know me just a little bit more! Welcome to my own little world :)

WHO I AM: 

I'm a young southern girl just trying to find her place in the world and this here blog is my own little zone of freedom! I pretty much blog about anything and everything, although I like to think of my little corner of the world as an inspirational spot. I try to exude positive energy and also absorb it wherever I can find it! I'm random, a horrible speller, and I kind of have an over obsession with Marilyn Monroe and my dogs. Summed up...
I blog it all. I do it all. I want it all. I love it all.

WHY I BLOG: 

I started blogging back in the summer of 2009. At first I did it because a bunch my 'older-much-cooler-than-me' friends all did. But, then something changed. I fell in love with the blogging world and all it's wonders! Now, I turn to this little bad boy for motivation, inspiration, creativity, venting, balance, and all around happiness. I think there are so many wonderful people/things out there in this big ol' world and blogging helps us all connect to that :)

WHAT I BELIEVE: 

I believe in Jesus. I believe in family. I believe in friends. I believe in love. I believe in happiness. I believe in good over evil and joy over sadness. I believe in me. 

"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know. 

And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go."- Dr. Seuss

And I believe that,

Love. Never. Fails.
