spinning

i feel like i'm in the eye of a tornado.everything swirling around me, making me dizzy.

but while i'm spinning and spinning
with seemingly no end in sight,
i've realized a few things:

hard work does pay off... eventually.
there is always a bright side.
i have the most in-tune and amazing siblings.
[seriously, folks, they're incredible.]
sacrificing to help someone else is totally worth it.
i need to de-clutter my life.
it isn't always bad news.
crying is genetic.
sometimes you just have to take a step back.
purple has involuntarily become my favorite color.
[green, i sill love you. green and purple, both favorites]
my mom has perfect faith.
i own way too many unnecessary things.
great music is a rare commodity in 2009.
i just plain suck at exercising.
[but i'm determined to get better at it]
sometimes the thought doesn't count.
miller's creamy honey is undoubtedly the best.
catching up with friends can be completely awkward.
i take too many things for granted.
you really can't judge a book by it's cover.
[or a person, for that matter]
i truly enjoy being helpful.

and so much more.
some i knew before.
some i thought i knew, but just believed.
and some... so entirely new and mind-blowing -

making me spin even faster.
