Best Friends

   This is not going to be like one of my usual blogs because I'm writing about an unusual topic; my Best Friend. She's crazy nuts but I just can't seem to stay away. We've been friends for over 10 years but it was last summer when we got truly close. I discovered other sides of this amazing person, she's my other half. I can't stop teasing her, making her blush is like one of my life goals. I know that my sentences don't connect right but you get what I mean. I don't think I could ever put my friendship with her in words, I don't want to define it, to limit it. 

I LOVE YOU XD

Perspective...

       So I was forced to go to a new school for my senior year, which as you all know, is pretty messed up since I have no history whatsoever with these girls and now I have to spend my senior year with them!! Add to that the fact that we have a completely different way of thinking and out of 21 girls, I become friends with ONE!!

       Coming to this school I planned not to make any friends or even talk to any of the girls; but I realized that this wasn't possible. Running away only proves that I'm a weak person and I wasn't going to have that. I tried being friendly getting to know them, I mean what if I was wrong about them and they were actually "cool"? So I did, I moved my seat, introduced myself and asked the most random questions; just to get in their heads. 

        I didn't expect any of their answers and I was dumbfounded by it. When I asked them about their goals, their ambitions, what do they look forward in life, I got this as an answer: "Get into a respectable university (If I'm lucky) get married and haves kids, and if a man knocked our doors before going through university it will be better." I was shocked. How can you not have a dream? How can you just throw all what you could have away? [This answer came from the girl who is one of the highest achievers in class!]

        What was even worse is the fact that one if the girls, who's only 16 years old, is engaged! Her classmates envy her! It was then when I truly understood how the environment you were raised in affects you. These girls were taught from early ages that marriage and kids are the achievement in a woman's life. How can we expect any of these girls to pursue higher positions in society?

        I keep dreaming of driving, flying, becoming a bigger person, working as a CEO, growing into someone who matters; someone who made a difference in this world. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against marriage and kids, but I resent considering this as a Life Goal. Just doesn't make sense to me!

  

My point is: Be Independent. Be You. Don't Be The Kind Of Person Who Needs Others... 

Can't let go...

          So one of my flaws is that I'm either overly attached to someone/something or I'm totally indifferent about their/its existence. Yeah, I'm weird like that. And the thing that agitates me the most is the fact that I can't let go of people, even if I wanted to. I spend nights laying in my bed thinking of them; of all the possible scenarios that could've been played, wasting time and energy. To make things worse, some; well a lot of these people are celebrities who have no idea that I exist. Last year, my favorite outdoorsman, ocean addict, adrenaline junkie passed away and I still CAN'T LET GO!!!

The 2014 Memory Jar..

      Here's a little DIY project that I've been working on: The 2014 Memory Jar. It may sound lame but honestly it's the best way to recall our your favorite moments of 2014. Our brains are biased in such a way that we only remember the bad stuff. This Jar proves that good stuff did happen in 2014 and memories were made. It'll lighten up your gloomy days, reading these will make you relive those moments; bringing you joy and happiness and all the other emotions you felt as you made that memory. 
I hope you get inspired into making one :D

[I know my jar seems pretty plain and not too artistic: it isn't cause I'm just not an artistic person :P I'm talentless when it comes to that :P but that didn't stop me and it shouldn't stop you :P ] 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

       I just want to take this time and wish everyone a Happy Prosperous 2014. 

                                    Live Your DREAM, Life Is Too SHORT!

Walk A Thousand Miles In My Shoes...

    To begin with; I would like to thank you all, for taking some time to check my blog; I didn't expect the pageviews to be as high as they currently are; so Thank You.

    Today I'm going to write about a problem that most of us suffer from; our physical appearance. And being a teenager adds more pressure; "you're supposed to look young and happy and vibrant", notice that word there? "Supposed"? Being young is not something we chose to be, we are simply born after you; doesn't necessary mean that we should be excited about that fact. Happy? Before you tell me to look and be happy; make sure you are, I mean; you're older; you're "supposed" to have this figured out, right? "Vibrant"? God please, how many of us are ready to wake up extra early in the morning just to look vibrant? Sleep comes first in our teen life and you can't change that.

   Not to mention all the judgmental looks and stares we try to avoid walking down the hallways in school. My question is this: Why do we need to live in the constant fear of being judged? Who are you to judge others? Who gave you that power? That authority? This is my message to all judgmental people: All You Do Is Spread Hate. Just because you think you're above others doesn't mean you really are. You're not perfect. No one is. Only God is perfect; you're not God. Some people use this excuse to come at others: "I'm only being mean to him/her so that they could see their mistakes and improve themselves; I didn't mean to hurt him/her." No. Just no. All you're doing is destroying whatever is left of their self esteem and self respect. You could have; should have found another way to try to help them; assuming that this was your true intention.

  Another thing that has been bothering me; people who keep bringing the past up. You should know that the second you bring someone's past up; is the second you declare your loss. What is the point of bringing their past against them?? They were young and stupid and so were you once. You have no idea what they were dealing with at that time. One Mistake And Everyone Judges YOU! Add to that all the criticism and negativity they had to deal with after that; can you imagine what is like to be rejected by your own friends and family??

Spread LOVE. Stop the HATE.

      

I bet you do too...

         Do you ever just feel tired?? Like you just want to escape from everything and everyone that you know; family, friends; just EVERYONE; for no particular reason. I need to leave; go somewhere where the sun is always shinning, the sky is blue, the water is clear; away from the city.

                                       

 Somewhere where no one knows my name; where people don't really care; where I can be free to do whatever I want whenever I want. Long nights by the fire; just you the fire the sky the waves and a bunch of happy crazy people. Spend the day sun bathing; play in the clear water just live life. Cocktails and music. Cruises around the island. Sunglasses and shorts. Surfing and sand. If you still don't get what I'm talking about; then I don't think you ever will...
