REBEL NEXT DOOR

I am a big fan of Angelina Jolie. Despite of her tattoos and rebellious past, she is one person I admire. I am a big fan of her humanitarian ways. Movies do not make me scream for any celebrity, as I have passed my teenage screaming years. I know as fans, we see celebrities as Gods and Goddesses. We can never be compared, but one thing I have to admit, she is one rebel who has proved that she is of no small measure. A rebel who has made a difference in the world.  Well for one thing, she is a Gemini and left handed- so am I and that's one start. LOL. I know I am being crazy, now I really sound like a screaming teenager, but anyway,  I love her view on life and her virtues. I was reading the latest Elle Magazine, July edition and in her interview, she revealed her understanding towards life, it sort of reminded me of my old days when I was in search for something. Reading her interview brought some nostalgia of the forgotten days. We all at some point have been stuck in life, and try to find ways to figure it out, in truth it's not that complicated if you have the conviction. And this particular article really got me interested because in all my previous blogs, I have mentioned the magnitude of freedom and being true. To stand on the ground you know and not others, and this paragraph completes the unsaid words.  It's about being yourself and finding out your true self, the real you. I am not going to type the whole article, but a small paragraph..... Enjoy

ELLE MAGAZINE: UNTAMED HEART ARTICLE.

" The revelation that Angelina Jolie was suddenly jetting off on United Nations missions around the world was perhaps the most puzzling of all. The tumult was "misinterpreted as (me) wanting to be rebellious," Jolie says. "And in fact it wasn't a need to be destructive or rebellious- it's that need to find a full voice, to push open the walls around you. You want to be free. And as you start to feel that you are being corralled into a certain life, you kind of push against it. It may come out strange, it may be interpreted wrong, but you are trying to find out who you are."

What she hit upon was a deep and abiding fear "of a life half lived, "she says. " I realized that very young- that a life where you don't live to your full potential, or you don't experiment, or you are afraid, or you are hesitant, or there are things you know you should do but you just don't get around to them, is a life that I'd be miserable living,and the only way to feel that I am on the right path is just to be true to myself, whatever that may be, and that tends to come with stepping out of something that's maybe safe of traditional."
