Liar.

Lies, something we all do in order to hide information or not hurt others feelings.

Being caught in a lie, completely does the opposite of what I just previously stated.

Truth of the matter is that unfortunately, we ALL lie. Presidents, parents, kids, teachers, media, celebrities even our grandmothers... ALL LIE.

We are raised by liars who in turn tell us not to lie, but in turn they are lying to us. Honestly, my true belief is that lying is okay. It is so common and done so often that we forget we are not suppose to do it.

Many reasons are out there in why we "shall not lie" but no one ever tells us why it is good to lie.

Good because it helps us get out of awkward situations, it avoids us doing things, the list is continuous.

But my biggest tip is: Do not get caught lying.

Seriously, because when you do... well my might have just have said the truth.

Promise you kid.

Do find yourself constantly connecting to music most commonly with songs that are sad or that tell a story? Is it mental or is it our minds in the attempt to inform us of deep thoughts and feelings we have?

I listened to Haven't Met You Yet and there is one line that always sounds clear to me, it sticks out to me. The line goes a bit something like, "I promise you kid I give so much more than I get..." Although I often feel like this; I have been attempting to find ways to deal with it.

Now, I propose the question; Is it okay to feel unappreciated? Or is that our minds are attempting to victimize itself so that we have a balance?

By giving we feel happy as well as by receiving. But shouldn't it be satisfying enough for us to give and not receive? We should be happy to give and not take.

It's a complicated question to ask. But we do have to apply some deep though into wheter or not appreciation is needed for a stable mind. Specifically appreciation from those individuals most often around us: family, friends and co-workers.

“Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, don't keep it a secret.”

Life: A Roller-Coaster

The last few months I felt as though everything had been going perfect, what could possibly go wrong? As the season changes so does life, its a revolving change much like a roller coaster which goes up and down so does our lives, our friends, our emotions.

As I recapped the day I could not help but to feel left down. After much thought I came to the conclusion that the significance of a birth is no major event. With millions of deaths and birth each day it can make us question what real significance "life" has.

It is significant to those individuals who have lost someone they loved, but is it also true that, that individual's life is not important until they die.

We are taught to appreciate life but maybe we should be taught to appreciate others; People. It can sound completely cliché but it is true. In reality it takes tragedy for brothers and sister to talk, for a family to hug each other or for an entire nation to work together to accomplish a common goal.

The sad truth about tragedy, is that it is the most common of things in this world.

TGIF

I like most individuals get excited for things and then things fall through the cracks and we can not find ways to react but with anger, and although the reaction can be harsh, it's realistic.

Realistic much like the goals I will begin to set for myself. Myself, is a word I like a lot of individuals do not take time to use or do work on.

I have gave much thought to life and I believe it's okay to begin to move on from individuals who are not caring or from individuals who go through life not appreciating those who do things for them.

A little "thanks" goes a long way and that's the simplicity many seek.

So remind yourself to thank people who you love, who serve you, who hold a door for you, or simply wave hello on the street.

Thank You.

privileged

Do you take time to appreciate what you have? We have heard this saying hundreds of time, but the basis of it could not be more true. The last few days I have began to think of life as a gift versus a privileged.

A gift because it can be removed at any time in the most unexpected ways.

As she stood by his side, her tears ran down here face as the memories they shared went through her head and the many times of laughter could no longer be relived.

Take advantage of every second you have, because those seconds which have passed can no longer be relived and will never be the same.

Use everything you have, and let others take advantage of what you offer.

Collapse of the Fun

You know that feeling when you look forward to something so much and then it all collapses? That's exactly how I feel now.

We all get excited and want to have fun, but either you get a flat tire, the plane is delayed, or simply you miss the bus to school. But we can either learn to accept that or let it ruin or day.

Someone of us will choose to sit and mourn all day while others will go on with their lives as though nothing has happened.

Don't ever let others know your feelings. You make hate someone or simply disagree with everything they do, but that's not your responsibility to let them know.

Let go of problems in your life, release the anger and don't by any means feels oppressed by others.

OPEN FOR BUSINESS: 24 hour buffet.

Do you find yourself in those situations most commonly with those who you care about in which you don't feel comfortable disagreeing?...

I find myself often in situations in which I can not say anything but "yea, that's fine" or "sure, no problem." I feel as though I cater my life to others.

Spilled on a platter in which people can pick and take as much as they want as though it was a 24 hour buffet.

People take and take and stuff themselves, but do they take it for granted? do they take ME for granted?

"I'm always there if you need me, just hit me up." But would they reply the same to me? Would the individuals in my life sit there with open arms waiting for me, as I so usually do wait for them?

It has been a task, a task of mine to begin to simply say "no"
To disagree and converse. To be waited on rather to be the waiter.
To be given a hand rather than be lending it.
To be appreciated rather than forgotten.

"I'll always be there" continuously I say it. Yes, it is "nice" "the right thing to do"
But I want to be selfish and be helped.

I can accept the words of "your selfish" and I am completely okay with that.

secret.

Why does everything have to be a secret?

I always feel as though the my life is surrounded with sensitive information that others can not be told.It makes to sick to find information that I can not tell others.

Not that it is hard, but I don't think it is right to be secretive from others. Everyone is always don't mention this, "promise you won't say anything"

is that right? Is it okay to keep information from those important figures in our lifes?

Friday.

There is something about waking up in the morning and it being sunny out. Today was one of those mornings. Now most people would mostly be angered by sun hitting their face at 7am, but I am completely opposite, especially when it's Friday.

I awoke to music playing it was great. Today I feel energized and ready to take on the world. It's days like those in which we learn to appreciate life and what this beautiful world has for us to discover and appreciate.


Peace.

good

I surprised myself the last few days.

I have actually been keeping up with the gym and my diet. I really don't want to give up this time or get lazy like the previous times. Although today consisted of being lazy and hanging around the house, it was great to sleep in and enjoy by bed.

Tomorrow is Friday, and finally the weekend. Going to a benefit concert for Haiti.

Surprised!

I could not be happier right now.

In the past months I had decided to change universities, It had been a big step. I had worried about how I would pay for it and how my parents would help me pay. I waited and waited and today I got a letter. My next school year is basically going to be free!

My mom jumped around and we were extremely happy. It takes a huge worry off my shoulders and the possibility to quit my job and be free becomes more real as the months pass.

2 months left of the semester and I can not wait.

Its a good day, and hopefully a good next few months.

Start.

A blog? Yes, a blog.


Kinda of a weird thing to start, but I decided today I would give it a shot. This idea of a blog was not mostly my idea but was inspired by a friend we'll call her jessica.

As we talked today she told me about a list; a list in which will help her accomplish her goals and It inspired me to begin to work on my goals. To create a list of things that I want to accomplish not in the far future, but things that I can begin to work on now. I will begin to write my list today a solid list of my goals and my "dreams"

I need to really focus and make sure to accomplish these task so that I get that sense of pride within me.

This blog presents my ideas and my views of the world. My views, called opinions in which we all have the right to offer.
