100 Things in 365 Days

March 16, 2010

When I had to think of a name for this blogging site, I had no idea. I wanted it to be catchy, but it had to mean something to me. I don't know if the name is catchy, but the latter applies. Simple Believer. That's me.

I'm a huge fan of simplicity, that's a major fact. Throw in drama, complications, mixed signals and I attempt (kind of) to juggle it. I think simplicity is completely overlooked. Life moves at the speed of light, and something as.. simple.. as stopping to notice, "Hey, the sky is gorgeous today. No clouds. The most beautiful shade of blue" is overtaken by our racing thoughts of what to do next, where to go, who to see. It's so tiring that we forget the beauty around us. I'm not talking about beauty as in appealing sights. I'm talking about rawness. Seeing a kind action, realizing how truly blessed you are, noticing pure talent. It's something we overlook in the hurry and bustle of our lives. So that became my first name: Simple.

This past summer I got my first (and only) tattoo. I've always wanted one, but I knew it had to mean something to me. I started thinking of important and meaningful things. One: Spanish. I adore the language and have been greatly influenced by my grandfather, P-Body. So my tattoo had to be in spanish. Two: it had to be short. To the point. One statement. So my solution? One word. I wanted it to be a definition of me. So what was me? I'm still not sure. If you ask me who I am.. I don't know how I would answer. I do believe I am a lover of all. But honestly, tattooing that on me? Lover? Amante? I work with children, misconstrue central! Then it hit me: I'm a believer. Of God, music, love, friends, family, laughing, children, culture, reading, open mindedness, healing, mistakes, being unsure, lyrics, poetry. I'm a believer of too many things to list without you, if anyone is reading this, Xing out of this page. So I had a white tattoo inked into my left wrist saying: creyente. believer. My second name: Beliver.

I don't know exactly who I am, I am many elements. I do know one thing though. I am a simple believer.
