I think having a healthy social life and taking the time to give back helps to break up the monotony of the day to day.Amanda Elizabeth - Meet @ the Barrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298068456724701894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538419641041336013.post-19303180930630332372014-11-05T11:13:05.975-08:002014-11-05T11:13:05.975-08:00hey, nothing wrong with being basic in my opinion....hey, nothing wrong with being basic in my opinion. sometimes i get really down on myself and want to change this or that, be this or that because someone else has something better or is a nicer person... at the end of the day i needed to stop comparing and just focus on being a good, nice person. so when i look at my life and i think it's not very exciting, or it's boring and simple.. well i tell myself to shut up and be happy ;) i try to do things that make me feel good, whether it's hanging out with friends, reading, playing with my cats, volunteering - whatever. if it makes you happy, that is all.that.matters!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10125290724625391990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538419641041336013.post-8311704861199170492014-11-05T09:32:42.390-08:002014-11-05T09:32:42.390-08:00I agree with Biana, that getting it out in the ope...I agree with Biana, that getting it out in the open, be it on a blog or in a journal, is the first step. And I hate the term basic, because it's meant as a mean thing. It's meant to mean boring, but basic doesn't have to mean boring. You can like the things you like, it's your personality that makes you who you are, not just what you like/dislike.<br /><br />From the tone of your post today and other days, I get the sense you are very kind, caring soul that has made a difference in someone's day, more often than you think. Sometimes, it's just a smile, a thank you or a compliment that you give that changes someone's outlook on life that day and that's all you need. <br /><br />Your dad sounds like an amazing man and an amazing person to model yourself after. Both of my parents sound similar to him and I try to be like them, as much as possible. I also worry, that I'm not leaving enough of a GOOD impact on the world, as we are called to do.<br /><br />Maybe look into helping at your church with the nursery, youth, or an organization that you enjoy. Or find a cause to be passionate about, even if it's just once a month or every other month. My two big causes are Hurricane Katrina relief/disaster relief and also the Shade and Fresh water project at my church.<br /><br />Wow, long comment, but all I really want you to hear is, you are not alone and you are doing more than you think! xooxP!nkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10193703533246466440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538419641041336013.post-88985824165386364902014-11-05T08:44:29.814-08:002014-11-05T08:44:29.814-08:00I feel as though I tend to be mostly a "basic...I feel as though I tend to be mostly a "basic" girl as well. And I try to live simply by the rules of being nice to others, go out of my way to help those in need, and be passionate about something and do everything you can for that something. For me that is animals, and volunteering at the humane society. Donating when I can. And simply just to love.

I think it's great that you're figuring out who you are and what's important to you and honestly, I don't have that "fire" either. It makes me feel "less than" somehow but I realize that I'm doing the best I can. <br /><br />As for being basic, so what? If it makes you happy, then no one else's opinion matters.Jana @ Jana Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501814243709445827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538419641041336013.post-29101209187855604322014-11-05T07:06:39.378-08:002014-11-05T07:06:39.378-08:00There is a lot of good in this post!

I think getting it out for you was the first step and there is nothing simple or basic about your life, because it's yours and that makes it extraordinary!
