Still I Rise

You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, I'll rise.

-Maya Angelou

 

 

This poem... It is inspiring. No matter what happens in our lives we cannot let others control them by what they say or do to us. We cannot let anyone or anything get in the way of our dreams. They are are dreams, it is our own life, it is ours to live. Even if someone is trying to protect us from choices we might make we need to find out for ourselves with the consequences whether it was good or bad. That is how we learn. That is how we grow. Even if people try to cut you down and tell you, you can't, that is when you stand and say "Wanna bet? Because I can. Watch me." That is the power of "I". There is only sometimes "We", but there is always "I". It's your life. It's your choice. Don't let other people's opinions of you change your opinion of yourself.

Do You Care?

Ever wonder why life just doesn't seem fair sometimes? That's because it's not. No one ever said life was fair. We have only been told it will be worth it. And it will be. I've always wondered why people get so depressed. And this weekend I had the chance to get a glimps of that.

People don't see the true reason behind why someone might be shy, loud, annoying, rude, quite, smart, not so smart, upset, etc. Sometimes we need to take a step back, stop worrying about ourselves, and pay attention to the people around us. Stop judging if you don't know the reason behind why they are acting the way these people act.

I found out yesterday that some kids from my church, who I thought were loud, annoying, rude and dissprespectful, their parents are going through a divorce. Another girl in my church, she is really shy and quite, her mom recently left her, her siblings and her dad. People handle things differently. That is why we cannot judge people on how they act.

This weekend, one of my friends tried to commit suicide because his girlfriend broke up with him. I know you probably think that it is a stupid reason, but read on. He thinks he will never find someone that he loves ever again, and someone that loves him back. His family didn't care that he was going to kill himself. Now that changes things, doesn't it?

It broke my heart. But because I reached out to him and helped him realize that there is a purpose in life, he is still alive and has promised to never try that again. Instead of judging and criticizing people we need to reach out to them. Help them. It honestly could save a life. I know that first hand.

Everyone is here on this earth with a divine mission from God. He has a plan for us. And he has a plan for those around us. We are all here at this time together. Are you going to waste your time judging, criticizing and bring people down, or are you going to help those around you and make them feel and realize that they are loved. Sometimes all it takes to save someone is to just let them know that you care.

I know what bullying can do to a person, I was bullied. And sometimes I still suffer from it. But I have friends that have found me, picked me up and made me confident again. I can finally stand with the help of my friends, because that is all it takes. And I bet you never expected to hear that I was bullied. So that's what I am saying. You can't judge someone especially if you don't know their past and story.  

See life really isn't fair, but by not judging and being a friend instead you can make someones life better and in a certian way, fair.

Thought of the day

Just a thought for today; Life is worth it. When we were in Heaven we planned our whole future. The things that would happen to us, the choices we would make, where we would live, who our family would be, who our friends would be, where we would go to school, and what we would do with our lives. Everything bad or good that happens to us in our lives, we planned before we came down to this earth. We planned our stories.

 So just remember that when live doesn't seem fair, it is.
You decided how your life goes. But never forget that in all the rush of life, and all the "Oh no's" and "I love life" and whatever else, take a break to enjoy a sunset, spending time with those you love, and even those you don't. Don't forget to include God in your life plan, because with God, everything will be fair in the end.

Just Some Random Thoughts

I'm sitting here at my computer drinking a nice steaming cup of hot chocolate, listening to a bit of Taylor Swift We're happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way; It's miserable and magical oh yeah; Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks, it's time uh uh.... *clears throat* and thinking. I'm not really thinking about anything in particular, just thinking. You know those times, when you start thinking about one thing and it leads to a million other thoughts? I am having one of those days.

I am thinking about this new year and what it might have in store for me. What new oppertunities and chances I am going to have to try new things. I am hoping, no, looking forward to a fantastic year! I am looking forward to the good times that I will have this year, and even the bad times.

I think some times you can learn more from the bad times than the good if you know how to take it. But if you are even better, you can take the bad times and make them good, then you will never truly have a bad time.

I am planning on making the best of this year. I will take everything in porportion and take it as it comes. I am planning on complaining a heck of a lot less (because between you and me, I complain WAY too much).

I am wanting to find just one skill that I can learn this year, work on it and improve it to the best of my abillity. I am going to push myself to my limit probably more than once this year, but that is okay because that is how you learn, grow and test your strength.

So you want to know what I am thinking right now? "Bring it on 2013!"

This is Life, Beautifully Stated

I am posting this because I've been through a lot of these things, I've had a bad day, sometimes things just don't go right. But you know what, that's life. You just have to pick yourself up and keep moving on. I love you all, I hope you know that no matter what happens in our lives.


Beautifully stated....

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person
that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.

You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Live for the now because everything else is unknown.

Just be you

Okay so I found this picture quote thing, and I find it very inspirational. To me it means that I need to us my time wisely, have fun, mess around, be serious, be my self, make a change, and just be the best me that I can be. I realize that I need to be me because everyone else is taken. So what if I stand out? That's just me! I love to be silly, and laugh till I cry. But most people find that rude. The people in this world are way to up tight. They take things WAY to seriously. The world doesn't seem to know what the word "Fun" means. Its sad. I feel sorry for all those people who don't know how to laugh or have fun. I encourage all of you to just be your self, follow your on trends and styles, not the worlds. Be your self. Have fun. Don't be distracted by the bad things in life. And always remember, that even when it feels like your all alone and no one loves you, you are never alone and someone always loves you.
