Easy Eloquence and Clarifying Intricacy

So, hey, how are ya?

I must confess that these past few days haven't been the best for me, not depressing, just a little melancholy and listless. I want to do something really big, really cool. And by big and cool, I probably don't mean anything you might be thinking of; by big and cool I guess I mean quirky and creative. I want to put smiles on a bunch of people's faces, even if I'm not there to see it. I want to shine a light on the unseen corners of my world so other people can cock their heads to one side while their eyes light up with the sunshine of discovery; I want to bring about a smile in their hearts as well as on their faces. I want them to look at the world, and go "Oh!" as something shifts in their minds.
I  guess I rather want to do something like what Katie Sokoler from "Color Me Katie" does, but I don't seem to have the energy or the space or the resources to do it with; whether or not if I really do, I think I don't.
Perhaps I need to tell myself a different story, one where my life is exciting and easy and I have lots of friends, because, for all I know, all of those things could be true, and my current mindset could be false.

At least I finally got one of my wishes today; I've overcome the writer's block I didn't even know I had, I'm managing to write what I feel in an eloquent and descriptive way, in earnest and in honesty.
I keep saying to myself lately "I wish I could write like Raven", He's so kind and clear in his replies to strong-minded and narrow-sighted comments of every sort. I get too emotional, in type and in person, I feel, or rather, felt that I wasn't very good at expressing myself in an earnest and helpful way, in a way that would set my opinion free without rising up in contest to other people's opinions. I've finally unlocked that ability right here, in this post, though I'm still a long way from the intricacy of writing like Jane Austen, and of speaking with the easy eloquence of my dad.

The Internet (Namely Facebook) and Other Things

This place strikes me as very facade-like. There's so much more going on under the surface.
Do you think about the things I think about? Do you want to talk about them too? Do you see the things I see? Or is this just not the designated place to talk about them, is this not the place to bring them into the light?
If not now, I wonder, when?

I probably just read and think too much...

The curtain comes down
Fall to the ground
The stage of my heart
Giving up my part
Join the audience
We're all one
joining the audience
Now life is fun

The curtain comes down
To a smile, from the frown
Barriers no more
Join me on life's seashore
We're all just grains of sand
But together we've created solid land
We're all one
Let's make life fun

My heart
Your heart
Three hearts
Four,
Join me on the dancing floor
No longer separate,
Don't be a degenerate
Join us
Join us
Won't you join the dance.

Once you felt all alone,
I felt the same way,
But I've realized we're all one,
And we really do have a say
In what's going on,
What's been done,
Let's change the world,
Let's truly make it fun.
