Lately I've been on social media and wondering why people say the things they do behind a keyboard. I've decided that it can be so amazing and used for wonderful things, but it can also have the complete opposite. I feel like it's turned people into these gossip feeding animals. I have seen so many hurtful things towards people and I don't understand why someone would ever say that to another human being. And honestly, I am genuinly sad for these people.

I mean, I've been taking a this college class and we've been learning about business and how to be successful and all that kind of stuff, but something we learn is that the first step to being successful is loving who you are. We're learn that if you are not happy with your life, how do you plan on making another life worth living? If you don't learn how to love you, for YOU, then you will never know how to be successful. Which goes to another lesson we learned today.

Your life is controlled by your thoughts. Your thoughts are just as strong words, but instead of effecting the person in front of you, it's only hurting yourself. Negative thoughts never have gotten anyone anywhere.

There's a book called, "The Traveler's Gift", and I suggest everyone to read it. It's truly inspiring and talks about a bunch of the stuff I'm saying now.

But anyways, the thing that is stopping people from success is themselves because they don't know how to focus on anything that's really important and putting people down is not going to help them feel good. Well, I guess it might...in a super weird and wrong way, but nothing feels better than lifting people up to feel good about themselves. When you talk to someone, you should always leave making them feel better than when you first arrived. That is what will make you memorable and loved by so many people.
Anyways. haha xo

Alrighty, I know I haven't posted a real post in FOREVER. 

So I thought..ehh it's probs time I get to that. 

Anyways, what I want to talk to you killahs about is Happiness. 

hap·pi·ness

                                                                          a : a state of well-being and contentment : joy

                                                                           b : a pleasurable or satisfying experience

Have you ever had the feeling where you are just sad? You might laugh at things, but deep down inside you aren't happy. Or the feeling of feeling no emotion whatsoever. 

Yeah, seriously guys. I thought this would never happen to me. I mean I never knew what was causing it. I guess it just happened gradually over time. I felt like today is just another day and it will be the exact same tomorrow. 

WELL.

It's not just another day. 

It's a day to get better, be better, and feel better about yourself and everyone around you. 

I am in such a good place right now. I don't know how to explain it...it's like...I'm at peace. 

I've learned that for you to be happy, you have to love everything and everyone. 

You have to learn to love the people you've never met.

And the people you already know. 

You have to learn to grow an appreciation for everything. 

Everything around you. Just know that everything happens for a reason and at the right time. ALWAYS. I don't care if it seems like the worst possible timing. 

Everything in life is perfect. 

Another thing is that you have to learn to love yourself first. 

I know that, for girls especially, it's so hard not to be hard on yourself.

We might "think" we have so many flaws, but we don't. 

We are our biggest critic.

We were made a certain way for a certain reason and it's never going to help by putting yourself down. 

You have to E-M-B-R-A-C-E your flaws and learn to simply love them. 

Okay, something that sooooooo many people have problems with also, is talking about other people

and judging 

and hating on other people. 

Let me say that all of those things don't make you look good. 

No one wants to be around anyone that's talking smack about other people

they just don't

plain and simple.

Plus, it makes me sad to see how many people say they hate people.

If you really get to know a person you will probably learn to love them. 

And of course there still might be people that the more you get to know them the more you don't want to be around them.←That is not an excuse to talk or think bad about them. Just know that everyone acts a certain way for a certain reason. Either it be them being raised a certain way or that people have treated them poorly in the past. The only thing you should ever treat those people with is kindness and love. 

Seriously. 

Anyways, just know that happiness is a choice and that you can make any bad situation a good one. 

So if you want to be happy, just be.

Yesterday was Timp's preference and even though I don't go to Timp, I offered to take my friends pictures for it. They all looked so GOOD last night by the way! These pictures don't even do them justice. But, I hope they all had a wonderful time..they deserved it!...so enjoy:)

 It has been some time since I've last blogged! Life has been crazy lately. actually not really. but maybe a little.

I've been busy trying to get my head put back together. 

More like. I have had so many thoughts lately on E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. 

-I'm getting certified to be a lifeguard because that's what I want to do in the summer/ it's good to know CPR.


-I am going to get straight A's this term and I don't care what I have to do to get them.


-The ACT is coming up and it stresses me out every time I think about it.


-Setting up my classes for next year is crazy. What do I want to take? I want to get my associates before graduating. What do I need to do? Am I switching schools? What is best for me right now? What classes would be best?


-I want to take online classes. I want to raise my overall GPA and having a 4.5 would be ssiiiccckkk.


-I'm running a marathon in May. Training errday of ma lifffee.


-Trying to be better. I just have sort of gotten out of my place of peace and need to get back.


-Getting a job so I can buy a car


-Wondering if I should join track this year when I'm training for a marathon. Is that bad for my body? I want to do sprints and I absolutely love track, but I have the feeling that it's not a good idea. My coach told me he wants me running this year, but how am I supposed to tell him I can't when I really want to.


-Friends. Wondering if I should transfer back to my old school. BECAUSE I JUST REALLY WANT TO/DON'T. I think about it way to much. Every time I go visit my friends on my dads weekends I just love them too much and want to move, but then I come back up to my mom's and love it here. I love getting to know new people everyday and the variety of people. But, I still want to graduate with my BEST friends and all the people I grew up with. Then I think...what's the point? It's just school. I don't know..i love my friends up here, but it's still not the same.


-Trying to create better relationships with every person around me. I love people and I feel like I just need to be a better person. I don't know. I feel like I've been in some kind of funk lately.





There's just so much to do.

Plus, I've been trying not to have as many thoughts because if I'm going to have any kind of peace in my mind I have to not think so much. Just do.

Wish me luck!
