The Start

I believe this is the first post on my first real blog. I think most important thing to do, its tell anyone who is actually taking the time to read this what "Intrepids Flame" means. I could bust out the Dictionary.com version on you, but I think its easier to tell you. Intrepid, means brave and flame obviously means fire. So you get, Brave Flame (or thats how I think of it when I read it). Why that? Well, its something I remind myself when I am going through a difficult time or I'm scared, nervous, angry and upset. Seems silly, yes. But when I'm sitting in a dark room alone, crying my heart out, I remember this. I will be the brave little spitfire that will get through this and light up the room.
Sometimes life throws us things we don't think we can handle and I guess if you want to think about it, some people don't. Another I thing I remind myself in a difficult time is, everything happens for a reason. Whether your religious or not is irrelevant. Even through the bad times, we know that all the good things make it worth it. Things like, finally getting something important done, getting someone a gift that makes them smile, finally having that dream date, first kiss, proposal, a lifetime set up for satisfaction.
As I write this, I understand maybe something a bit deeper. It seems like *most* happiness, comes from romance. Maybe it's just me. But I now have something to ponder upon.....
