I Lived. I Loved.

Welcome to my blog. My name is James and I love to cook, watch great films, and talk about feelings and introspective parts of life. This blog is mostly made up of silly things like funny memes, pictures of “attractive” celebrities, sarcastic quotes, and amusing videos. Since I am a huge fan of hers, there’s also a lot of Beyonce-related material...so you’ve been warned. I absolutely love to write so some of my writing may appear here and there on this Tumblr but I post most of my poems on my other blog, theseneglectedwords.tumblr.com, so as to not bombard my followers on this blog with my long text posts of poetry or stories.
I may occasionally tag a post as “Things I Know For Sure,” and such posts are in response to a question that Oprah Winfrey asked her viewers a while ago, which was “What do you know for sure?” These posts are small little mantras that I think are important for living one’s best life and they’re not meant to be preachy or directed at any one person in particular. I think it’s important to form opinions, to think critically about things, and to reflect back on almost every moment of life and glean knowledge.
When I die, I want people to look at my Tumblr as a permanent online diary or notebook of sorts. Proof that I existed. That I had thoughts and stood for something. A blog of what I believed in and valued when I was alive.
My entire life’s mission is to use my passions and my gifts to help positively change the world. To love and make sure such love is felt. To support them when they need to be supported. To make them laugh and make them smile. To open up with them. To help discover the truly important things about life. To leave behind a positive mark on this world. To listen.
This Tumblr is merely a small component of my search to find some of the answers to the rest of the questions that life throws my way.
