	Wabbit Twacks	some people are addicted to tv.. others to power, or drugs, or food, or relationships, or books, or addrenaline or entertainment...etc. all in an attempt to escape the self. so the question is can one face ones self without wanting to run to fill the emptiness one feels at first.   Posted by Wabbit Twacks on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 12:18 AM [Reply to this]

	Tony	I do wonder about this. It is not always pleasant to do introspection. So, we keep ourselves busy to avoid it.   Posted by Tony on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 12:51 AM [Reply to this]

	°ART // CRIMES° Game Dreamer	Sounds like you're in need of a little adventure :-) When I get run down and tired of the same old traveling routine, I like to light a fire in an open field somewhere and just lay back and look at the stars. Usually, after a few hours of doing this, everything falls back into place for me. Just watch out for snakes and stuff. Hell, even doing this on the roof of a building is just as gratifying, even if it's missing the sound of trees and tall grass blowing in the wind. <3   Posted by °ART // CRIMES° on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 12:22 AM [Reply to this]

	Scott	It may not necessarily be an addiction to travel, running from something, or whatever. Just a simple lust for life and adventure, pure and simple. Wanting to experience everything that the entire world has to offer and is seldom seen. As a former traveler myself, I know I cherish the memories of where I've been around the world, be they good or bad. Hope that makes some kind of sense. Have yourself an adventurous weekend! :-D   Posted by Scott on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 12:24 AM [Reply to this]

	Crizz™	You should break up the monotony of your tropical travels, and visit Chicago in the middle of Winter. We could build a snowman, drink lots of hot chocolate and bury one another under mountains of blankets. Just tell me when you're coming & I'll stock up on the Swiss Miss. By the way, I think you are the bees knees! I hope you're having a great year so far.   Posted by Crizz™ on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 12:27 AM [Reply to this]

	Tony	I've been there. I do other things that seem important just to get away from the things that really are important. Sometimes I search for things to do to procrastinate what I don't want to do. But, it bites me in the end. So, I am trying to be more disciplined.   Posted by Tony on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 12:48 AM [Reply to this]

	Kevin	Aria, I went through a phase a few years ago when I didn't like what I was doing (maybe "hate" isn't too strong a word), didn't like where I was going, but really didn't know what I wanted to do to change. One day, I was in my car and just started screaming, and punching the roof. Very shortly after that, it came to me and I was off in a different, much more fulfilling and satisfying direction. Maybe you just need to scream and hit something. Actually, I just thought back, when I was happiest, what was I doing? Then, I started doing what it was that made me happy. It's made all the difference. Hang in there. You'll find it. Or, it will find you.   Posted by Kevin on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 1:02 AM [Reply to this]

	Alex Alex Morales	Please Don't take this the wrong way . . . But it sounds to me like you running from Adulthood and you're trying to hold onto that very last piece of childhood. I did the same thing. There come a point in a persons life, when they must put childish thing behind them and grow into the person they are meant to be. You can always go back a visit Childhood but you can't stay there forever. Peace   Posted by Alex on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 1:05 AM [Reply to this]

	Patrick J.	Thats totally wrong, what you are proposing wrong, its defensive and fearful. An individual is the same person as an adult as they were as a child but children slowly learn to hide themselves, to protect themselves. The trick is to set yourself true self free as an adult, not to accept more limitation, to truly be yourself with out fear of what others might think. Its a rare person who does this, particularly before 30.   Posted by Patrick J. on Saturday, February 23, 2008 - 7:55 PM [Reply to this]

	Peter	No mater where you travel to what you were trying to get away from is staring you in the mirror when you get there. Don't sweat it bbdoll. What is the purpose of the rock? Nothing. But make it part of a building or road and then it has purpose. What are you part of bbdoll? Make that your purpose.   Posted by Peter on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 1:53 AM [Reply to this]

	Paul Paul Villamil	Its harder to hit a moving target. What are you trying to stay one step ahead of? Its also easier to keep your mind occupied when you're busy. What are you trying not to think about? Maybe you should stop running around for a little while and see what happens. Is your work your purpose in life? If not then what is? Sometimes the greatest lies are the ones we tell ourselves. I hope you find what you're looking for...or better yet...what you're NOT looking for.   Posted by Paul on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 2:49 AM [Reply to this]

	R-Three	If memory serves, it wasn't too long after the divorce that you went into work-overdrive mode, decided to move across the country and got the heck out of LA. Kudos on getting out of LA but I can't help but wonder if the controlling tendencies that serve you so well in your career didn't prevent you from processing the loss. Everything I remember you writing at the time sounded like you didn't want to make time for feeling depressed or grieving. And you have your career to manage, so it makes sense to go into overdrive. But everything you publicly write on this subject sounds like you're depressed and in pain but don't want to be, don't know how to surrender to it and are trying to either run from it or bury it under a busy schedule. The problem is, it catches up with you. It catches up with all of us. I don't know you personally so maybe it's not the divorce. But it does sound like loss and grieving and it sounds like you're not giving yourself a chance to deal with it so it's dealing with you instead. Do you have someone to talk to? Someone professional or impartial who doesn't have an agenda in you being "Aria"? I wish you the best, truly and always.   Posted by R-Three on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 3:33 AM [Reply to this]

	XVBDeputy John Allison	Then stop. Accept no more offers for a while, say "No" to those wanting this photoshoot - that video - this trip abroad, etc. Stop. Take a break. Nothing to stay home for? How about staying home just for the sake of, well, staying at home? Better yet, move upstate and find a quiet place to settle in to. Plant a garden, read a book or 6, work on graduate studies, build a garage, remodel your existing one, finish Moby Dick, listen to the entire Rolling Stones catalog and memorize the lyrics to your favorite album, paint, whittle, taxidermy...just do anything non work related. You say you like to work? Well, pick a single point of focus that is not related to work that will keep you interested for a month, week, year or whatever and let it become your "work". Take a sabbatical and cool your heels.   Posted by XVBDeputy on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 5:52 AM [Reply to this]

	Raf	I wonder if you just need a break -a real long break from all the hoopla from you chosen profession. Time to just catch up the little things and take a breath, no? Nothing wrong with traveling the world and its seven seas - but if you're actively questioning yourself on it maybe you need to sit back and just chill out and close your eyes...breath a little mentally, physically and spiritually. LA? What happened to NYC? Either way - you're racking up some serious miles! You always mention in your interviews and such that your this workaholic and that the website - I am a member, love your work! hehe - the website and the fans are your number one priority. Well - maybe after years of all this craziness and living in sharing yourself in "public" has run its course. Maybe its time for you to be selfish and think only of yourself and do what you feel is necessary right now. Is it Aria talking like this or CR Volk? Maybe you just need that break from the industry - maybe you need to try something new within it or something entirely new outside of it? I figure what ever it is that you do next - keep it private, to yourself. Make it your little secret...Could it be that your looking for a new person in your life and have no idea where to look? Biological clock thingy maybe? Miss schooling? you once said in an interview - that you can only do this for so long, but you could always go back to school...I know you have great working relationships with people like Jelena, Justine, Aimee and so on...are they also your inner circle? Is there too much yes in your inner circle if it isn't them and others not in the public eye? Find someone that'll say NO to you...could that be it? I hope you find what you're looking for or at least get some answers. We don't know each other from a hole in the wall. So I can't give you a more pointed answer. Although I do wonder if the pressures and committments of you job have just finally caught up to you. Whatever your decision - remember that it's YOUR decision and that there are people out there who care and love you; people in your family and I'm sure you have a couple really really close buds... Hope you find what your looking for - its sad to picture a confused and agitated Aria punching away the keys for this message...I'd like to envision that absolutely radiant smile instead! BTW - speaking of your travels... Those pics of Chiang Mai were gorgeous! Keep your head up lady! Always... ME!   Posted by Raf on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 2:34 PM [Reply to this]

	Chris Chris Manfra	I also love to travel that was a reason why I got into architecture and travel is fun and sometimes it is a lonesome road going from town to town every day :) I feal the same way about work if the pay and purpose is not perfect I get discouraged and need motivation ,I also searched for perfect happy day's and found the same day to day hectic schedules of client's that dont know what they really want :)   Posted by Chris on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 11:14 PM [Reply to this]

	drd952	It sounds to me like you have several issues going on presently. I interpret this as your fear of being alone. You are constantly in Los Angeles, even though you continually say you do not like it there. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you stay with someone when you are there? Whereas you have your own place in New York, and you are never there. And when you are it is not for very long. This despite your positive feelings for New York. You travel constantly because then you never have to be alone. You might be amongst strangers but not the solitude of home. You say you will stay home when you have a reason for doing so. In my opinion, that will be verry difficult with your current nomadic life<myspace>style</myspace>. It is as if you are subconsciously saying you are afraid to achieve a reason to remain grounded, so travel is your crutch. I think you have to bite the bullet and learn to emotionally deal with being alone. Then the rest will take care of itself. As far as motivation on the work side, it is linked. But moreso in the fact that you move around so much that you cannot remain focused. Your mind is constanly spinning wondering where you are or where you should be going. No one can focus with that unrest. Add in the twilight of your modeling career and the new chapter of webmaster, and your focus is being pulled in different directions. Where do you start? It was probably much easier when you were focused on your modeling career and how you can establish your name. Now you have to maintain that and focus on completely new ventures. Good luck. I know you can do it if you just take care of one thing at a time.   Posted by drd952 on Saturday, February 16, 2008 - 11:33 PM [Reply to this]

	*☆*GiOrGiA*☆*	I understand how you feel. If I just could, if I had the money to do it, I would travel all over the world, to find the right place for me, because I feel like I have to go away, start all over again, do something new. I've got lots of things to do here, I have to finish damn university, my parents think I'll never get a job if I don't graduate again... bullshit, I always say. Sometimes it's like u wanna give up and say "ok, stop. I can't live this life anymore, wanna start it again because I'm sure I've made something wrong or I've wasted my time." the fact is, time goes by. Life keeps taking away in a moment what we've worked hard for to have it, and this, because we wait for the right moment to change, for the right time to take a break and do something for ourselves. And meanwhile, there's always something happening that changes our plans. So my thought is, do what you feel you wanna do NOW. That's the most important thing ever. You, have to focus, on YOURSELF and your needs. If you wanna move aways from L.A. and have the possibility of doing it, damn hell, do it! You might regret it, but at least you won't forget the way you were feeling, the sensation of freedom you were feeling while you were doing it. I'm sorry, it's very late and I've spend a quite hard day. You might have guessed that English is not my mothertongue, so you will forgive me for the mistakes... but I love you Aria, you are such a great person and such an inspiration... I want you to be happy, always... love ya Giorgia   Posted by *☆*GiOrGiA*☆* on Sunday, February 17, 2008 - 12:27 AM [Reply to this]

	Kevin	Hmm.. traveling is not a bad addiction lol. Ok, maybe it is. I think everyone needs a balance. I hope you find a great place to call home eventually. Maybe home is somewhere close to your family and friends?   Posted by Kevin on Sunday, February 17, 2008 - 4:21 AM [Reply to this]

	Aria Giovanni Index	A addiction can get you into trouble if your taking it too far, but the only one who can pull the plug is you. I know about addiction, but in a different way I guess. I find myself collecting and buying everything I can about you, and feel almost depressive feelings about things I can`t get my hands on, from things not available online anymore or Magazine back issues that I missed years back. I put so much time in this, that sometimes it even has a negative effect on my daily life, my work and family, but I like your work so much that it is hard for me to pull this plug. About your addiction to travel, personaly, I couldn`t stand traveling so much, I am always amazed by all the things your doing in short time. A trip for business even for a few days takes always weeks of energy from me. I like being home with my family, our house and all other things that give me rest. Again, I can`t believe someone gorgious as you has nothing to stay home for. And your project, why can`t you base that partly in NY? Isn`t it a matter of planning? I guess all your model`s live in the LA area.. I wish you well Aria, please find your goal in life soon!   Posted by Aria Giovanni Index on Sunday, February 17, 2008 - 8:43 AM [Reply to this]

	Eternal Day	Everyone is giving some excellent advice, but I think there's a more existential, human-dilemma happening here. The bottom line is that all living entities are looking for pleasure and happiness. We do things because we think they will make us happy. But what do we find? Nothing ever really brings lasting, substantial happiness. As the Vedic scriptures of India say, this material world is a place of duality and suffering. Whatever so-called happiness we feel is just the temporary cessation of suffering. No material happiness or pleasure ever lasts. This is what causes addiction. We do something that gives us pleasure, the pleasure fades away, then we have to do it some more, but the more we do it, the less pleasure we feel and the more we feel like we're just doing it out of habit and not with any real purpose. This is because there is no true, lasting happiness in the material world. Everything here is temporary. I remember years ago you had posted on your message board that you realized your physical beauty and your physical body are temporary. This is the existential reality that many of us don't want to face, i.e. - the temporary nature of our body and our world. We spend so much time creating this illusion of self, friends, family and material comfort, yet at the time of death it's all taken away in the blink of an eye. I believe there's a deeper longing that is taking place within your heart. It is the awakening of the soul. You're beginning to question more deeply the purpose and meaning of your life and your activities. This is the beginning of human life. As the Vedas also say, inquiry into the Absolute Truth is the beginning of human life. Human life is meant for spiritual inquiry and self realization. Otherwise we're just like animals: eating, sleeping, mating and defending and looking to please our material senses (i.e. - sense gratification). But there is so much more to human life and that life begins when we start to realize that we're not our physical, material body, but that we are the soul within. This is the first step in self realization and the start of the path toward true happiness and purpose. Hare Krishna!   Posted by Eternal Day on Monday, February 18, 2008 - 12:26 AM [Reply to this]

	Stan Stan Eames	Princess. It sounds to me like you are priming yourself for some kind of move, or perhaps an event, that needs real introspection. You have started with this blog. It sounds like it might be an offshoot of your travel posting - 80 flights when you don't like air travel. You have seemed to have your stuff together for a long time, but these feelings did not just happen overnight. Is it that you don't know where to go professionally? Personally? Or that you don't WANT to take the road less-traveled? I'm sure you've had a ton of suggestions. Here's another, for what it's worth.Take time and go somewhere for as long as it takes you to come to a firm decision on a set of goals you think are right for you - just you. You know you are adored by hundreds of thousands of men and women. Is that weighing on you? Whatever the heck you decide to do, follow that course and the rest of the world be damned! You know we all love you for your freshness, lhonesty and, obviously, your wonderful body and smile. We want only the best for you.   Posted by Stan on Monday, February 18, 2008 - 5:19 AM [Reply to this]

	Stan Stan Eames	Me again, Princess. Part of getting away, I think for you, would be to hire a bright, intuitive female facilitator who would work JUST with you. Not a psychologist or someone who is popular because they know all the gobbledygook. Someone who will make you focus and not allow you to evade issues. Unfortunately, friends can't fill that role well.   Posted by Stan on Monday, February 18, 2008 - 5:44 AM [Reply to this]

	chi crak monkie	your keeping yourself busy, theres nothing wrong with doing that, your killing time, we all are killing time thats what we do, we are so removed from life that we have no need to try and really live it, so we just kill time to keep ourselves busy and amused, we need to do something and if we have nothing to do we create something to do, i wish i had your ability, but im out of touch, we all look for something hoping that it magically appears and poof everything changes and a new world is shown to use, but usually we just get tired of the world around us, it loses its brilliance when there is nothing left to discover, and everything becomes the same old stuff, the routine kills us, but we always fall victim to it, same ish, different day, just give it a name, you need to do something different, unfournatly with 12 flights in january it doesnt leave you much time to enjoy where you are, but there is a reason for everything, where you are going is up to you, you decide your moves with the cards you have, life is like playing cards, its also like cooking, life can be related to many things, find with what you relate it to and work it, so you can create what you want out of it, only you know what you know, so i could ramble on about this and that and have no clue what you actually feel or want, only you live your life, you lost your crave and want, your motivation and passion, your trapped and trying to escape, see i just rambled on about stuff that has nothing to do with it, it sounds good but thats all it is, i have more untouched projects then you want to even know about it, well i havent had a home for atleast 5 years and i live in a house, maybe you are moving foward and it just appears its going backwards, well what do you want to do, and find a way to do it, your in a tricky position, so you need where to make the com   Posted by chi on Monday, February 18, 2008 - 6:35 AM [Reply to this]

But as he ran along, more footprints appeared, while his shadow easily kept up with him. Thinking he was going to slowly, he ran faster and faster without stopping, until he finally collapsed from exhaustion and died. If he has just stod still there would have been no footprints.

Learning, the challlenges, and the balancing act... over time your skills developed, balance is still there but the challenge has been obtained, maybe the paint is fading with your attention span for the same ole same ole. but its what you know so you keep riding...scared that you have to give up your first bike, scared to make change, and scared that by changing you might have give something bigger up... someone lends you a unicycle...the momentum is the same but the feeling is aukward...the balance shifts ...its not the same familiar bike you know... it takes awhile to get to learn, and grow and shift and change... but most of all its facing that which you fear the most... addicition is an illusionary state of being that enables avoiding a deeper state of being that wants to work itself out of the body but the brain likes to create denial, avoidance even chemical addicitions rise out the liver... the liver processess emotions and purifies blood...releases chemicals to the brain and hormones ...the liver is the central unit for controling our entire bio chemical make up.... accupuncture is great to support the liver in transition, and to help faciilitate change... your thought patterns have found deeper grooves through your perpetual state of being...your body has followed... its up to you to write a new story create new grooves..new thoughts, new heart beat, new body reactions, and new biochemical reactions... shine on! love, phoenix   Posted by yin☰☲☱☳☴☵☶☷yang on Monday, February 18, 2008 - 5:30 PM [Reply to this]

	Alan [ñøré]	People fall in love with familiarity. It's unavoidable. Travel is the most familiar thing to you, and whether or not it's the best thing for you, it's what you know. Do you feel that traveling is actually bad for you? Maybe you aren't really looking, and maybe you shouldn't be looking for something. You're just doing what you love. And fortunately, or unfortunately, love does not always last forever.   Posted by Alan [ñøré] on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - 1:41 AM [Reply to this]

	14imbus	Aria, keep strong, and maybe your purpose can be yourself, and believe in something. A wise woman once told me years ago..... Remember to always allow yourself to dream. Everyone that has ever achieved greatness had a dream that they tried to attain. Surround yourself with positive people and a positive life<myspace>style</myspace>. Believe in yourself and surround yourself with friends that believe in you. Remember that a real friend will build you up, tell you the truth even if it hurts, and will support and not pass judgement about your decisions even if they were ones that they would not make themselves. Enjoy the simple things in life because life in an of itself is short. You cannot package a sunrise. You cannot sale a childs smile. You cannot buy love or friendship. The most important things in life you cannot touch or hold in your hand. If you think that your brand new car or your house up in the hills is going to make you happy, you're definitely wrong. Find a peaceful place inside yourself and visit it often. Travel whether you can afford it or not. Make ammends with your family. Bridge the gaps whenever possible. Being right is not always most important. Don't forget to tell people that you love them. You never know when it will be the last time they hear it. Own pets. They are the best source of unconditional love that you will ever find. Be inspired. Inspire others. Don't believe people when they tell you something is impossible. Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life you will regret more the things that you did not do than the things that you did. Be persistent with your goals. Be passionate about life. Allow yourself to experience emotions. Be kind and considerate to others. No matter how hard or bad life might seem sometimes, remember that someone else has it worse than you at that same moment. Be greatful. This is what I try to live by. Hope this helps, lust always Bobby   Posted by 14imbus on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - 6:48 PM [Reply to this]

Allow yourself to experience emotions. Be kind and considerate to others. No matter how hard or bad life might seem sometimes, remember that someone else has it worse than you at that same moment. Be greatful. This is what I try to live by. Hope this helps, lust always, Bobby   Posted by 14imbus on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - 6:48 PM [Reply to this]

	Joe	Maybe it's just as simple as staying home and relaxing. All the traveling might have thrown your body out of whack. It's drained you both physically and mentally. Maybe a stretch of "you" time is what you need. No tedious traveling, no appointments, no cell phones going off all the time. Just you and some down time. It'll relax you, clear your mind, and prepare you for whatever it is that you want to do after this time. I hope my advice helps you somewhat. I know it sounds too simple, but sometimes simplicity is all one needs in their life. :) - Joe   Posted by Joe on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - 10:50 PM [Reply to this]

	Noah	I felt a similar purposelessness last fall. For me, it was because I was lonely and because I was frustrated with the idea of having to go through more schooling before I could actually get out into the world. I ended up loading up on too many classes so that I could keep my mind busy, it was really stressful and I didn't want to do any of the work at all because of the funk I was in. Maybe you are going through a metamorphosis. These other people are probably right, you should touch down for a while maybe make a cocoon or something. It like when you have a favorite creative outlet and you reach a point where you can't come up with anything new or interesting anymore so you take a break from it and when you come back to it, it's new and exciting all over again.   Posted by Noah on Saturday, February 23, 2008 - 5:36 AM [Reply to this]

	Patrick J.	Surrender is the hardest part because Scorpio’s love control. There is no pain like Scorpio pain, no pleasure like Scorpio pleasure; you have to take the good with the bad. Don’t worry about escapism, its normal. People use different things to distract themselves from thinking too deeply about life, when you don’t need it any more, you wont use it. Your post really struck a chord with me. I went through a similar stage in my own career and life, questioning what life is all about. In the end I had to go with pure gut instinct and make what seemed like a crazy decision to everyone but myself. To leave everything I valued behind, my family, my friends, the history and tradition of my ancestors, everything I had worked for in sports, school, university and professionally, to come away on this adventure into the unknown, to have my say in the world. I wouldn’t take any of that baggage back for the fire in me now. I have slowly learned to surrender to the unseen forces in life, to let the currents take me, to work with the flow of my life rather than fighting against it simply because I was being pushed in directions that were not of my own choosing. There are no coincidences in life, only the illusion of coincidence. Learn to see the pattern of your life and things get a lot easier. Like you, I seemingly had it all but I reached a point of such apathy and disinterest, I literally found in nigh on impossible to get any work done, even the thought of work filled my with dread. It is interesting that you say you have work to do but you don't want to do it, that is precisely the problem, it is work. Unless you are engaged in your true passion, work is an effort. When you are doing what you love, it becomes totally effortless, you are merely living your life and it’s as easy as breathing, eating, sleeping or loving. All the answers you are seeking are within yourself. It takes fearlessness and a very strong character to really look at yourself, your motivations and your place in the world in a neutral way. You are a Scorpio, born under the sign of Lupus, The Wolf, a rare breed, it means you have the ferocious determination and instinct for life needed, you can see things in a way others cannot. The question you should concern yourself with is, what are the things that I am most passionate about? It is difficult to peel away all the rest of the BS and distraction but if you can get to the heart of what you are truly passionate about you will have your answer. Good Luck on your search, PJSIV   Posted by Patrick J. on Saturday, February 23, 2008 - 6:34 PM [Reply to this]

	Wabbit Twacks	the problem with telling Anyone what to do or not to do is that then their actions no longer come from the heart but from the mind instead.. Sincere action comes from the heart.. Manipulated action comes from the mind.. Notice how children are so sincere and authentic in their unlearned actions. its ok to listen to others, but dont Do what others say. Learn to listen to your heart again.. and follow it.   Posted by Wabbit Twacks on Saturday, February 23, 2008 - 11:40 PM [Reply to this]
