Unique adjectves S)

I am a bit of a word fanatic and when I come across new, interesting words, I love to share them! I mean, what's the point of using words that no one understands? Here are some extraordinary words to spruce up even the best writing!
salient- prominent or conspicuous
sardonic- characterized by bitter or scornful derision; mocking; cynical; sneering
soignee (French soigne)- carefully or elegantly done, operated, or designed
sordid- morally ignoble or base, vile
sprightly- animated, vivacious, lively
svelte- slender, especially in figure
supercilious- haughtily disdainful or contemptuous, as a person or a facial expression

These are just some of my favorite and the neatest words I have come across! More to come, let me know what you think!

"What in your life is calling you? When all the noise is silenced, the meetings adjourned, the lists laid aside, and the wild iris blooms by itself in the dark forest, what still pulls on your soul? In the silence between your heartbeats hides a summons, do you hear it? Name it, if you must, or leave it forever nameless, but why pretend it is not there?"
This quote from the Terma Collective reminds me that my mission in life isn't one that I should give up on. If I can't go a day without thinking about it, it is obviously meant to be in my life. With or without chronic pain, I am determined to fulfill this mission of mine, and to the best of my ability.

New Legislation In Indiana

I love the fact that so many people are commenting on the two bills recently passed without even reading the bills or obviously obtaining any substantial knowledge on the subject.
First of all, the "religious freedom bill" is actually a combination of two bills that can be viewed here and here. Please just go read them immediately.
Did you see any mention of homosexuality?
Yeah, me neither! These bills are literally stating nothing new; they are restating our first amendment.
Governor Mike Pence said, " This bill isn't about discrimination, and if I thought it legalized discrimination I would have vetoed it."
40% of U.S. States have a bill similar to Indiana, as does the federal government. Why isn't there a big uproar in regards to those states? These bill are literally not saying anything new, AT ALL! It is the reiteration of a 1993 NATIONAL bill passed by Bill Clinton.
This law didn't address a particular problem, but it created problems not anticipated (rightfully, because these homosexuality issues have NOTHING to do with the bill).
Robert Katz of Indiana University stated, "The bill says that the government cannot impose any law that substantially burdens a person's religious exercise without some sort of compelling government interest." This is almost directly quoting from one of the bills, by the way. :)
One of the opposing arguments is the fact that this new law can exempt businesses from every single Indiana law. This isn't the case and there are already protections in place to protect individuals from this happening.
The only issue concerning LBGT residents is the fact that because the same sex marriage law was just recently passed, there aren't these protections in place to protect them specifically.
Dear all ignorant people,
Actually Mike Pence just wrote on a piece of paper, "hey businesses just say you don't wanna serve gay couples lol". I would so appreciate people actually forming EDUCATED opinions instead of making up what they THINK is correct.
Actually READ the bills, and then form your own opinion.
Sincerely,
Everyone who has taken time to determine what the bills are really about!!!!

Anxiety and the fact that "everyone has it"

I think physicians should conjuncture a new term or two that separates the anxiety that I get and the anxiety that (most of) my classmates receive.
When someone says, "oh wow I am so anxious" and I see them sitting still and able to calmly talk about something else, I consistently will doubt the seriousness of their claims.
Anxiety for me includes (but isn't limited to) violent shaking, everywhere, and all of the time, eyes darting, heart screaming, furious sweating, oh and this is all while taking a test in English.
There is a fine line between my above described symptoms and someone who is nervous for a test next period.
Anxiety can often be similar to your [females] menstrual period. Ghastly comparison I know, but just when you think you're in the clear for a while, your anxiety comes screaming back, full fledged or potentially worse than before.
My anxiety is me drowning in a pool, struggling to get air, so close, but not close enough, with everyone else around me swimming and diving down right next to me. The ironic thing is when he/she dives down next to me, I can't quite grab onto them on the way up, but he/she comes up for air with ease, and I am stuck wondering how to get above the water, even just for a quick breath.
Anxiety and anxiety are not the same and I wish people would recognize this.

Just realized you could title your posts :)

A day in warm weather is never a day wasted,
although a typical day consists of me throwing up more than I consume,
I would rather be throwing up in warm weather than cold :)

Screaming and crying with no end in sight

Wishing and praying for a resolution

This arduous battle, one big plight

And with all these sufferers, there is no magic solution

Depressive thoughts linger and hide,

No longer finding joy in the little things

There isn’t a treatment I wouldn’t try,

Fingers crossed for what the future brings

You don’t understand the true definition

Of putting on a bright and cheery smile,

When my entire life ambition,

Is to be happy, just for a while.

Everyone here is on his/her own quest

Just like a book and its cover, we hide things best.

Strangely enough, I have never formally created a blog before.
My natural perception of blogs were that blogs were written by individuals drinking coffee in their cali beach home writing their shortsighted and trivial points of view with no substantial knowledge of the real world.
After reading many blogs, I have absolutely realized that this is often the case (bet I got you with that one! haha).
Unlike these dreadlock laden, over caffeinated hippies, there were some blogs written with significant thoughts that in fact did influence and inspire others.
The point of this first blog post is not to illustrate my despise towards ignorant blog writers, but to show that blogs and the information in them can and do make a difference and starting this blog signifies my readiness to FINALLY share my story, all of it.
