This is something I found that I actually felt summed me up pretty well. I don't know if you believe in the whole astrology, stars thing but I think there may be a little bit of truth in it. Emphasis on little bit of course. Anyway, I think this pretty much says it all:

A Taurus female is a tall woman. Even if she measures under five feet, she can reach tall enough to meet almost any emergency life chooses to throw her way. In many ways, the Taurean female is the salt of the earth, a combination of most of the sterling qualities every male looks for and seldom finds. She may have a violent temper that would frighten a strong man into running for the woods (or at least ducking under a table-cloth), but she won’t go on a raging rampage without good provocation. Ordinarily, if you don’t torment her beyond human endurance, or if Fate doesn’t hand her a really rough bunch of cards, she’ll play the game of life fairly, with cool, admirable calm. Her candor and basic honesty are undiluted with normal feminine tricks and tears. The Taurean girl has more moral and emotional courage than many a tough male, but she has enough confidence in her own sex to let you be the boss, if you want the job. If you don’t fill it, she may grab control and run things herself, but she’d much rather have it the other way around. She seeks a real man.That’s because she knows she’s a real woman, and she’s proud of it. To her, being a woman doesn’t necessarily mean being an incorrigible flirt, a mental fluff ball or a mewing kitten who pretends to be weak to get her own way. It won’t be long before you see she has a mind of her own, and it’s quite strong enough not to have to resort to teasing to gain an objective.

If you..

If you don't stand from something, you will fall for anything.
Hello all (actually there are only like two people who have seen this so hello to you!)
Just wanted to drop in and share that with you. For some reason I can't get it out of my head. I keep saying it over and over. Sometimes I think we take the blame for things that are not our fault because it is easier for the other person. It is like giving them a free ride. But I think we must hold people accountable. If not then we will end up blaming others and then its one big ugly cycle. Don't let other people's fears be cast on you in the form of blame. Fear is important in life and we must learn how to use it. And again, most importantly, if remember that it is important to stand from something in life, command respect.

I also wanted to put a couple of music artist names out there-
- Amos Lee - Street Corner Preacher, Keep it Loose - Keep it Tight
- Ben Taylor - Any
- Modest Mouse - Gravity Rides Everything
- Flogging Molly - Worst Day Since Yesterday
- Angie Stone- Wish I didn't Miss you
- Coldplay - Viva la Vida, Death and All of his Friends
- Jason Mraz - Live High
- Eric Hutchinson - Breakdown more

Ok More later!

Watch me go..

You say hello but your wink says more. I want fall for you charm but my heart won’t accept that sly look from the corner of your eye. It’s the same as the time before and behind that, the behind the back, the sneaking intertwined fingers. You’re afraid to show but pleading for me to understand, but I won’t play your game. Now your favorite view as I walk away, and my own wink over the shoulder is a low blow. Dorothy had to go over the rainbow but I don’t need a journey to know I won’t fall that low before I remember what I am not and just where I go. Take your last look darling, once I cross that bridge your options exist no more.
You’re not for me, no matter how hard I plead with myself. I would follow the world to the end of this life, but for you I just don’t have to hurt anymore. If you cut me honey, I won’t bleed, that’s the change I have made, the path, the shot in the dark only this time I finally hit my mark. Better alone that hidden, myself over the pain, I am in love with the life I lead, with or without knowing if I will ever truly be made. Watch me go Love, you had your chance but I think you finally met your match, this is my goodbye, my hello to myself my ability to be better than what I thought.
The blind no longer lead the blind, my eyes are open and the world is bright. I take it all in, a deep breath of nothing but pure exhilarated life. A kiss on the cheek, now who chases who, this is not yours to confuse. No matter how wonderful I ever thought, your ability to keep at arms distance is now far too close. Take a look, we have played our last scene, only I was a star the whole time, now I just know it and you fade. Thank you for the memories, your flattery played well, but I’m gone darling, to live the life I always knew I needed and finally learned how.

Clarity

Life is the series of events all strung together, seemingly haphazardly, where we have no notions of what lies ahead. But there are these moments of blinding clarity. They hit you when you need them the most. Where everything that plagues you mind everyday, wears you down every hour, puts pressure on your every minute, and wastes all your seconds suddenly for a brief instance makes complete sense. You understand that everything in your life happens/has happened for a reason and you feel whole, just in that fragment of time your path seems clear. You remember your amazing achievements and move past your disappointments. And these pebbles of hope are enough to sustain you. You realize that your past happenings are nothing but learning experiences, the bad cannot harm you but has strengthened you, and those good compelled you.

We have these places in life where we have reached the top, the top of a mountain, the crossing of a stage, the lines of a court, the conquering of that fear, the attainment of that goal, the strength in a moment. When you caught that necessary glance, set foot where you have never stood before, your own personal moon landing, your small step, and it is these times in life we must reflect upon to motivate us. Life is about the journey, as they say, but we get caught up in how hard or sad our journey is rather than embracing the challenges and knowing that it is ultimately the pain, and the broken strengthen those moments and get us to the top. You cannot climb a mountain without moving up. Life is that combination of stumbling, bleeding, scratching, climbing, reaching and succeeding. You have always had the tools but in those moments of clarity is when things are revealed to remind you: There is a purpose to everything.

There are never instances in life where everything is lost, “Everything’s not lost” (coldplay) and remember we are “Meant to live” (switchfoot).

We don’t always put ourselves in good positions in life, it is important to remember that happiness is above all the most important thing. We must trust our instincts and believe in ourselves and live in our moments of clarity so they remind us of our journey.

Joan of arc said “I am not afraid, I was born to do this,” talk about clarity. Remember that what got us here today is not what will sustain us, life is ever changing and we must embrace it otherwise we will never move forward. Always look back to remember where you have been, who you have loved, lost, what you have gained, believed in and attained, but always keep moving forward. Keep your head to the sky and you heart in your hand, trust, love, understand you will get hurt, but know that there will be beautiful moments of clarity that will motivate you to move ahead. Have, share, live clarity.

-There will be days of sorrow and days of clarity, but all days are worthwhile in the journey-
