Dare to be Beautifully Different


There's something beautiful about things in places they don't normally belong. 
There's always been something so intriguing that's drawn me in and captured my attention.
As if though for a moment reality has escaped to a place I've only dreamt of, a place once unattainable.

Perhaps at times I feel like these pictures.
I don't always belong or fit in to the picture, 
but even in all of my out of place areas, 
together, 
as a whole, 
there's a beauty about that difference.

At times we try and fit a cookie cutter mold
that people have laid out of what they think we should be
Where they think we belong, or how we should look.
We get caught up in the struggle of who we are and who we're
told to be that we forget the beauty in being different. 

Perhaps this post makes sense to no one but me, and I'm okay with that.
I'm glad I just get to share these  pictures with you. :)

An amazing depiction of this is in Augustana's Boston video where he's playing the piano on the ocean shore and the water is crashing in and piano's all around, such beauty.
watch here

Have a wonderful night lovelies,
and remember,
dare to be beautifully different.
It's that difference thats so intriguing about you :)

Oh to live on childhood dreams and make believe.





Oh how I miss the carefree days of our youth that seemed to pass so quickly.
Days of make believe. Where snapping on a pair of fins were as easy as a
dash of fairy dust. Where daily visits to places no one else has seen were free
and our escape was as simple as our imagination. Oh imagination, the freer
of reality, fighting off boredom with the swords of kings, off to conquer over pain.

But is imagination really all that far away or is there still a place in all of us that secretly still
longs to be a mermaid or wishes unicorns were real? I pray those dreams never fade being pushed out
by life's demand, may we all carry along somewhere our childhood dreams and fantasies.
