This I dont think will be too long a post. I've just been doing a spot of stumbling and have hit a spot of reflection.
I first was reminded of this site...http://8tracks.com/jennanoel/love-is-a-poor-mans-food?play=1&prev_mix=632 with different themed playlists. Next i stumbled across another site. http://makesmethink.com/top
As I began to read through the various posts I suddenly realised just how amazing the hearts of people can really be, as well as the ability of people to pick themselves up and carry on. I sit here my eyes constantly welling up on the verge of crying yet i push back against the urge in the fear that my sister or dad may notice and wonder whats up. The truth is ...people/creation is truly beautiful and that right there is what brings me to tears.
I just read this post ; Today, a complete stranger outside a local coffee shop was holding a sign that said, "Free Hugs." I hesitated at first, but then I decided to give her a hug. Truthfully, it felt great! MMT
It has over 2000 people who agreed that this had made them think too.
About a month ago me and my best friend went out to town with signs saying "Free Hugs" this made me remember how many random people smiled at me that night, how many people took me up on my offer without me saying a word.
People just need to know someone cares. Most people are just longing for a hug.

It's a Wonderful Life,,.
So last time I wrote in here I was working everyday in every weather knocking on peoples doors and telling them how much they should save a lickle doggy. As much as I love the Dogs and when I'm earning good few pennies I will most probably donate some to the cause myself, those days are gone. The "job" starts to make you feel demoralised and inhuman. The push to be greedy and go out of your way to push that extra sale as opposed to simply finding the nice people who can afford to and want to contribute, it just made me feel angry and annoyed at my employers more than anything else. So I quit... and although I'm currently lacking in money... :) I feel alot more at peace with myself than I was.
I've opened a new chapter in my life. In the last few months since quitting I've battled a few things including ultimate boredem. But I think I gained a few things too. The whole situation taught me a better understanding of different people, what makes people tick. It gave me a new confidence in myself; with a 4 month work experience in Field Sales and only one cancellation ...I have to say I am the tiniest bit proud of myself. Without the ridiculously long hours separating me from the real thing I should focus on in life, God. I feel the last few months have brought me back to his feet, a little dirty, a little sore but better able to listen and learn.
Since probably middle of last year I've suddenly got this love for Dance as well as the already established Music & Drama. I think I'm becoming an all rounder in the arts world. There's a show called Got To Dance on Sky1 (definately not a plug) and I'm addicted. I like to joke that its purely for Adam Garcia.. but honestly I'm drawn in to the movements of the performers, I feel like I'm about to explode into dancing myself. Even watching G.A. the other day there was an episode where this kid loved to dance but his body was about to stop him and the passion within him (probably not helped by the music in the background (Joshua Radin- You Got What I Need)) just inspired me, as does the song. But my heart still deeply lies in Acting.
I have to admit I have no idea what God wants me to do at the moment but my desire in the Arts must be there for a reason. I'm applying for a Masters in Acting to start in September, the course has 14 places. Although I have no idea how I will do...if I will even make the first recall, never mind the 3rd/4th I feel I should apply. The way I see it now is, if God wants me there I have absolutely nothing to worry about, and that sets a deep peace within me :D.
A girl named Jessica who is also applying for September contacted me on Facebook out of the blue last month. We've been talking on and off and shes a really nice person. We've sort of been encouraging and helping each other along, shes travelling so I'm going to the open day and I am planning to tell her all from my trip. Have to admit its rather exciting :D
Sometimes its easy to get lost in the moments, or to ride on the everday. With so much time without anything to do or banging ones head on the keyboard with yet another job application sometimes its hard to focus on the true guide in life. The one who really gets you to where you have to go. God should always be our main focus, our guide, Dad. It's easy to forget that in the midst of frustration. I for one am learning.
The title of this blog is from a film pretty much everybody in the world has heard of. Yesterday, I watched it on youtube for the first time.....ever. At 22 years old I feel this is quite an impressive achievement. Its a good film for reflection, to remind you the effect one person can have on so many peoples lifes. I do wonder what life would be like without me, or without someone else.
Matt, my brother reminds me of this. As many know hes currently in hospital after an operation he had on his lung. He is much more of an influencial and valued person than I think even he realises. He has had such a high demand of visitors or people caring and asking after him. Not to mention the patients he has spent so much time learning to save.
People saving people they dont even know, Doctors truly are amazing!!
Well for now as my mind is over flowing with thought I shall leave it at that. I hope it made some sense. Thanks for taking time to read :)

P.S. I genuinely... love hospitals (weird huh)
