Everything I ever need to know I learned in Kindergarten.

I'm starting this blog as a place to rant. A solitude. A place where i can express what i am truly thinking, with the security of privacy. I'm hoping this will allow me to learn, not only about myself, but my life, my thoughts and allow me to clear my head. Ive always been a avid writer, But never a published one. and Ive never done this before so you will have to bear with me. I'm not sure where to start, or how to even do this. So i suppose, I'm just going to start.

I'm Sara, you can call me Sez, who ever you are. I'm a true Aquarius, every single bit of me. I make mistakes. That's what I do. I speak without thinking. I act without knowing. I drink so much i can barley walk, i laugh so much i can barley breath. Ill remember your star sign before your name. I'm random and impulsive, and a lot of fun.  I expect a lot, but that's because i give a lot. I live for my friends and family and the people i love most. I don't have enemy's or hold grudges, but don't get on my bad side because it is a very rare few that will ever get a second chance with this heart. I may forgive, but i will never forget. I have been in love, and i have also had my heart ripped out, crushed, driven over and thrown from a 50ft building before. That hurts. I'm not a very emotional person, and it takes a while to get inside, but once you are in, you are in forever. Its only the people that see the spark that persist through my walls and over the bridges i suppose. And they are the people i live and breathe for. I wouldn't say I'm a religious person, but by birth i am Christian Orthodox. As i have gotten older i have come to appreciate the notion of Karma a little more than religion itself. The fact that what you do, will come back to you 10 fold. That every action is a small ripple in the universe and kindness and peace forever lives on in how you treat others and yourself intrigues and motivates me. I suppose thou that this also is the basis of true Christianity, Treat people as you wish to be treated.
There is also something i read once, that has to be one of the most brilliant things i have ever come into contact with. Something i try to live by also.

Everything i ever need to know i learned in Kindergarten.
Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say your sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life - Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing some. Dance and play and work every day, some. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup : The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice, and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
 Robert Fulghum, you are a genius.

Everything you have ever needed to know is in there somewhere. The golden rule. and Love, and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics, and equality and sane living.
Just think what the world would be like of we all - the whole world- had cookies and milk at 3pm every afternoon then layed down for a nap. Or if all governments has basic policies to always put things back where they got them and clean up their own mess. And it is still always true, no matter how old you are - it is best when you go out into the big world. To hold hands and stick together.

I suppose as the days go on, you will learn more about me. About my life and my friends, what i love and what i hate. What is really going on inside my head. You will probably get to know me better than some people i spend my entire life with know me. And i cant wait.
