| Life is a crazy thing....
probably because you have no control over it.
Sometimes I wonder what I can do to make things go the way that I want, but it seems like my way never really turns out how I planned it to. I always used to hate those people that said they live day by day...the ones who said that they just take everything as it comes. So annoying. Don't they want a future? Do they not care about anything? But then I realized that those are the people who have finally realized what it is all about.
The journey from child to adult and beyond is one of self-discovery and that really involves one key thing: ACCEPTANCE.
You know that saying about being wise enough to know which things can be changed and strong enough to accept the things that can't? That's it. Someone had it right.
A year is made up of months. A month is made up of days. Days are made up of hours. Hours are made up of minutes. And minutes are made up of seconds. Don't look at the whole all the time. Look at the parts. Focus on the minutes or even the seconds. Day by day....take it day by day.

| Why is it that home always seems like the worst place to be.... except when you leave and come back all of the sudden home is relieving |

| I am going to start using this a lot more again. I know people always say that but it feels good to have somewhere to really express myself. Myspace and Facebook and all those other new fads are just not the right place to do it. This is it for me. All I can say right now is that I dont like where politics is going right now. For some reason I was under the impression that the President of the United States is suppossed to care about the people. For those of you who also think this, you're wrong. Being the President is all about making other people look bad. Yeah I know...it's a big step, but that is what this country really needs. We need people finding reasons to hate others. Not only that, but reasons to hate others that include religion, belief systems, and past experiences. We dont have enough of that in America. In fact, we should probably have a lot more news coverage of celebrities who fail at one aspect of their life or another. I really dont know who thinks that foreign affairs and hard hitting news is some kind of service...What do they know? We want scandal. Because scandal will move us ahead. Scandal will make us better people. And heaven knows, we are all well-rounded and respectful people who yearn for knowledge about other countries and other people. Could I be any more sarcastic? I think not. |

| Sometimes you just look in the mirror and want to be someone else....but then again you don't even know who it is that you'd rather be. It is sad that the mirror tells us who to be in today's world. You look in the mirror and change this or that so that the reflection is what you want to see. What if you look in the mirror and say "wow....I have the kind of beauty that no object can display...I am too good for this mirror" The kind of beauty that really matters is the kind that lasts forever. Does botox last forever? What about liposuction? Even working out and eating right only go so far. It kind of annoys me how much time i spend in front of a mirror every morning. You know the thing that always makes me realize how annoyingly vain i can be? When I walk outside after doing my hair for 2 hours and my makeup....and the rain messes it all back up. I go right back to how I started when I woke up that morning. And the most surprising thing about it all....is that when the rain messes up my hair and makeup and new clothes my friends dont say to me "uh...i cant hang out with you today. you look horrible" The people who love me dont go "You look like you just woke up. I dont have any feelings for you anymore" I think the days that are the most fulfilling are the ones where I can just be comfortable in my own skin. I love walking down the street or sidewalk with my head up looking the world in the face and being happy....not because I got my hair to curl the way I wanted it this morning or because I finally found the right shade of blush. Because I woke up, looked in the mirror and said "This is who I am....and who I want to be" |
