Please honey, be careful with what you perceive and deliver as fact. This is vital.

I feel a bit manipulated when people state their ideas as --Dwayne, the rock-- solid facts. Because don't you think that the world an enigma? Maybe we don't know why people fall in love or why dogs are so cute. Maybe we think humans love each other for preservation or joy. Maybe pups are cute for companionship or protection. Maybe we're wrong. I think that the only way to truly know anything is by asking the person who created it. If that's true and everything is a theory at this point, why do we state so much as fact?

Because it's quite difficult not to. I don't think we'd have civilization or society without that kind of structure. It exists and I believe it can be both helpful and harmful.

That's why I encourage you to take every word given to those sweet ears with a grain of salt. When someone says they've found a great approach to skincare it could easily work wonders on them, but not on you or Sue. The laws of Earth are a wonderous, mystical thing that we sweet humans likely have so much to learn about. I truly don't think we could ever completely understand until after our mortality. And I think that's okay, while we're on earth, however, we must make assumptions to survive and thrive. We must figure out what kind of foods are poisonous or delicious to us. We must figure out how to stay alive in the wilderness or how to make money in America. We're here on this planet, so we must learn to live, right? That doesn't mean that the lessons that we learn apply to everyone, though. We each live on our own planet earth. You've got a 9-5 and a mouth full of watermelon at a barbecue in Tennessee and Paola is in a tree hut in the middle of a rainforest where she lives after a day of life in the wild. You have completely different thoughts, feelings, and understandings of the world. You might be equally as happy or equally as sad in completely different ways, for completely different reasons.

Fancy dinners or life in the wild

In a world where life can be so diverse, don't you think that it's important to investigate the words of others before naming them as truth for yourself? I really do, and I'm still practicing this. When you're on the sweet-little-spider web, maybe be wary of the sources and ideas that you expose yourself to. Listen to your intuition about what kind of things fit into your world. This concerns politics, mindset, science, everything. Become well educated, seek answers from a variety of sources, but make sure that they are doing their best to give truth, not opinions. It's something you've heard before, but this is deep. It's subliminal messages. If I say, "Consider that you might best spend your time by pursuing happiness" I remind you that this idea is yours to believe. If I say, "You'll be better off to spend your time pursuing happiness" it's more urgent and factual sounding. Phrasing is powerful. It reminds you that you have a choice, or it makes it seem like you don't. And what we learn and believe in sets us on our course through life, so it's vital to choose what you believe, not be swayed by someone who has no care for your well being, not be manipulated, but rather be inspired by those who love and care about you, whether they know you personally or only know that you're a human being and deserve a good life.

I've mentioned intuition endlessly, it's so important to me and my happiness, and that's why I encourage you to hear yours. As I write these blog posts, I send my thoughts out into the world for other people to consider. And when they read, when you read, impressions are left. Our minds remember what they hear and see. But they also believe these things. If we see a tiger, we think "It's orange, it's black, it's stripe-y, it's big." These observations keep us safe, and maybe that's why our minds do this. But when they accept observations about the things that people say and do as fact, they can be mislead. Because people can create perception. A great person can appear to be a jerk because he snapped on a bad day. A manipulative person can appear to be great because he understands the way that our brains perceive things and creates an image for you to see by doing things that the mind files in the "great person" category. A news website can publish an article on current events to manipulate you into feeling some way or supporting something. These are reasons why I believe it's important to be cautious in your exposure. Human beings are brilliant and they've found ways to influence other human beings -- for better or for worse.

In these posts I try to remind you that you can believe what feels right to you. Sometimes it comes across strong, or sometimes I state things as facts instead of ideas. I hope that those times don't affect you negatively and that you are able to recognize when they may or may not apply to you. In my speech and debate class, in English too, we were told many times to state our thoughts as facts. "Valentine's day is a great holiday because..." "Nuclear power is the solution because of..." and it always made me feel uncomfortable. Though I love Valentine's day, I don't think it's up to me to determine its value. I'm not the judge. I'm not God. I'm just Ally Mia, a little human. And that's why I don't think it's sound of me to determine the value of anything for anyone but myself. The ideas that I publish on this blog are suggestions and prompts. I create them for the purpose of opening up your mind -- whether you take them wholeheartedly because they suit you well, whether you take a piece, or whether you don't like them one bit and they simply open your mind up to what does suit you. That's all on this topic, be careful with your sweet heart and mind, even to this very post.

I love you, goodbye <3
