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.

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!"
