Wondering and Wandering.

Hello there.  So I have been thinking (as I do a lot) and a few things have popped into my head. 

1. That we are all searching... All searching for a place to belong, a place where we feel wanted, searching for who we are, for THE answer.  We are all searching for love - whether we know it or not.  (We just need to know what we're looking for and where to start looking). 

2. Really, we are all a little crazy. I used to think that I was the only one - but then I realised that the reason I thought it was only me was because we're all crazy in different ways. 

3. That we are rather privileged. If you are reading this (as it is via the internet), then you are privileged! Such a blessing to live in the time we live in, in the places we live in. 

4. That we are all a little adventurous. That we crave adventure and exploration, and all have the longing to capture memories.  

5. That we are all kind of lonely. Sometimes when we're surrounded by people (even hundreds of people) we could be the loneliest we have ever been. But also, that we all long for companionship. (Well most people do). 

6. That kindness is more common then I remembered.  I have recently been amazed by the kindness of some people (I will mention it below). But the fact that people would go out of their way, for some one they don't even know properly. Just beautiful 

7. That words are powerful! So be careful of what you say, and especially of what you write - I feel that there is a lot of power in writing.  When talking to someone, you usually think about what you are going to say before you say it: the thought goes from your heart, to your head, to your mouth.  But when writing something it usually goes straight from your heart to the paper - which can be a brilliant thing, as it can help us to say things that we wouldn't usually say aloud. But could also be detrimental. Especially in today's society, where social media is so easily accessed and is so instant. So much so, I doesn't give you much of a chance to mull over the words you are saying/typing. 

8. The fact that we have all experienced life differently, and that through the things we have experienced, we can learn, grow and help each other. But also - that more people may have experienced similar things to us than we realise. (especially the hard things in life). 

... Just some of my thoughts. 
(I decided to cull them down, and only put up a few for easy reading haha). 



- So, I have recently made friends with some beautiful people in America (yes, they happen to be incredible photographers, from Flickr. You can see their work here and here).  But it has made me even more excited of the possibility of going to America to meet them! I cannot wait to go on adventures with them and take photos with and of them!  
They were even so kind as to offer their homes as a place to stay, while I am visiting. When I heard this, I couldn't believe it! The kindness of some people just astounds me - I mean, the fact that they are kind enough to offer such a thing, and they haven't even met me yet... Such generosity. Such kind hearts. 


Also, I have decided that since I love writing letters so much, that I am going to write letters to as many people as I can!
So, if you would like to receive a letter from me, just email your name and your postal address to genevieve.althea@yahoo.com.au 
No matter where in the world you live, I will try to send a letter to you! (even if there is 100 of you that want letters, I will try my best to send them to all who want them). 
I am excited to see what happens!
