50 Things Just Because

I found this blog post I had bookmarked on my compute a long time ago. It's always been sitting there, but I usually don't pay attention to my bookmarks unless I need to look for something specific that I know I saved. Not really sure why I happened to click on it and read it again, but I did.

The blog post was a list of fifty journal writing prompts. All of them on the list are very intriguing topics and they really dive deep into some things. I always have plenty to talk about regardless, but I've been thinking that maybe I should let my readers really get to know me. Some of you might already, but others of you may not. My written journals have always been very personal things and while I do believe I've already shared some personal things on this blog, I don't think those few things have really told who I am . . .

It's always been extremely important to me that people know who I am. I feel that if you're gonna know someone, you shouldn't just have assumptions of them and who they appear to be, but who they truly are. You should be able to answer anything about that person. Maybe not specific things like "what's their favorite color?" (For the record, it's purple.) But things generally. Granted my closest friends and family know all of those specific details about me, but my readers and I probably will not have the chance to be on that kind of personal level. However, I can at least let you into how I work and think. ;]

SO! I'm gonna go through this list of fifty prompts and topics and do every one of them. They may not all be in order, because there may be the occasional day I have something else I want to blog about, but for tonight I'm gonna start with prompt one.

Prompt One: Name one thing that has always fascinated you.

Hmm . . .

This one is a toughie. There have always been a great deal of things that have fascinated me. But I guess for this I'll just have to choose one. Lol.

Let's go with emotions. I will admit that I have more than once been called an emotional person. I really am. I just hide it very well from those who don't know me. Believe me. I have more than once gotten teary eyed and snot nosed from an emotional scene in a movie. (I just watched The Odd Life of Timothy Green and silently cried like a baby at the ending.)

But what really sets off our emotions like that? What triggers us to feel love towards a person? Or dislike? What makes us feel excited for things?

And before someone reading this scoffs and says something all smart like "it's a direct result of the human mind and endorphines and blah, blah, blah . . ." I kind of knew that already. :P

But it truly is interesting. Just the way we feel towards a person can affect an entire relationship. Or an entire part of our life. Certain places, events, or activities can even be tied to an emotion.

It's always been something I have had so many questions and wonders about. Maybe my psychology class next semester in college can enlighten me about some of those things. Haha.

Well, that's all for now. I think I'm going to enjoy this.

P.S. Here's the link to that list if anyone's interested.
