About
Hi. My name is Amanda, and this is my blog.
This is where I write about the stuff that I think about.
I write about a lot of things, but most often I write about managing emotions, relationships, using your intuition, acceptance, INFPs, creativity, cats (OK, actually, I’ve only written one post about cats), but really, anything goes.
Which brings me to me. I’m a writer who writes non-fiction, novels (currently working on my second one), and very short (flash) fiction. I live in Maryland, am 30 years old, like to be outside, practice yoga, and generally have many thoughts about life and living which I like to sort through and then write about.
Glad you’re here.

Hi! It’s my first time to visit your blog, and I love it! Your posts seem to “talk” to a person in a natural way. Your posts are a great reminder that we are humans; we are simply evolving and that we just have to be totally aware with ourselves. Self-awareness is what everyone needs so as to prevent ourselves from doing terrible mistakes. Keep on blogging! Thanks…
Hi dutdot! – Thanks for your comment! I like how you mention “evolving” here. We change so much over a lifetime and yet something always stays the same too. Being aware of yourself is how you really manage your own life. Hope you continue to enjoy reading Look Far!
Hi Amanda,
I visit your blog often. I have always wondered about the fluid way in which your words and thoughts flow. Alongwith this I have also wondered about the bar [ "|"] that shows up in my Firefox tab after your blog’s name — Look Far |. Why do you need that bar when you are looking far!
Lovely work though. Good luck!!
Hi Krithika – I’m glad you have been visiting! That’s funny that you bring up the “bar” after the title. My tagline should go after that bar, but I need to figure out how to get it to show up there! You’re right, it does block your vision.

“We spend a lot of time concentrating on how to have relationships with other people, but we don’t pay nearly enough attention to how to have a relationship with ourselves.”
I like this. It’s interesting you mention the blueprints of life because that is one of the things I educate in my soul reading (Akashic Record Reading) service. We indeed have inner guides (intuition) and a map — energetically.
I’m following you on Twitter. Keep up the good work.
Blessings,
Akemi
Hi Akemi – I think a lot of people are trying to make decisions and choose their path by things they are seeing outside of themselves, but if you can learn to look inwards, I think you find all the guidance you need. I have a basic understanding of what Akashic Records are, although when I wrote this I was just thinking about my own experience of life. I’ll see you on Twitter.
Hi Amanda,
I experienced the issue regarding redirection. It is likely that your site has been hacked. First, change your passwords you use to access your site. Next look at each line of code behind the site and look for links to sites you do not recognize. Delete the links and hopefully it will stop.
I was redirected when commenting on your last post. Start in the Wordpress dashboard under “appearance” then “editor” and look at the code behind the page titled, “comments”. You will likely find a problem there. Hopefully, it will stand out.
Let me know if you have any questions and hopefully I can help you find a solution.

Roger – Thanks a lot for the suggestion!! I’m going to give this a try.
A Google search for ‘how to become yourself again’ led me to this blog. It is quite a relief to know that there are many out there who are searching for who they are, beyond the basic facts of name, age and country of origin. There are things intrinsic in each of us, things that are exclusive to each and every person, but every once in a while we find things in common and we become one step closer to making sense of our self-questioning.
I’m impressed by your thoughtful essays, and added some of them to the new INFP group on Facebook since they were under Creative Commons license. (I created a new one because FB is archiving the less active older ones.) Thank you so much for sharing your insights and talent!
Hi John – That’s great. Thanks a lot for adding them. The INFP group looks cool!
Too kool and exotically thought of in every sense. Your blog is the serene n sweet field that I so much seek in my realm.
My upside-down-ness landed me here today. And tomorrow will be subject to what the weather of emotional presence cooks up. So look forward to more …

Hi runaway unicorn – “upside-down-ness” – I like that.
Hi Amenda,
I am a Chinese grad student in the US. I visited your blog yesterday and suddently found it impressive! Because at that time I was in anxiety and even close to madness, and I searched on Google for words like “control your emotion” and Google brought me to your article. I found it very useful because you gave specific examples and details to persuade me to live with my both good and bad mood, and I should not try to escape either of them. Today I visited it again and found that “kichen chores” article is exactly what I am thinking about several times these days! Now I am considering buying a book from you. Anyway best wishes to you and have a nice day!
Hi Lu – That’s interesting how you found this blog. Glad you like it!
