let's get real

It's weird to me how we all judge each other. I see a girl walking down the street pushing a shopping cart filled with old bags and dirty clothes. I immediately assume the worst of her, and expect her to be some coke whore, when she may have lost her husband and can't find a job and is forced to be homeless. I do this to her and expect to be treated differently. Why? How does that make any sense at all? Why do we do that to other people; try to find their flaws and judge them before we know a single thing about them. I think it's because we want to make our life seem a lot better than someone else's; we put others down to make ourselves feel better, and if you think you don't do it, the only person you're fooling is yourself. Our past actions and happenings make us who we are today...the good, the bad, and the ugly. As much as you might regret something, it has formed a piece of you. So as we walk the halls of our caddy high school and eye that clumsy freshman up and down, look at yourself and know you're not perfect either. They're probably doing the same thing to you, so take in how it feels. It's real, it's raw, and it's ruling this country. Make it stop.

Wanna know a secret?

You are beautiful.
Black, white, gay, straight, bisexual.
Whether you are smart, or quiet, or
impossibly in love with your best friend,
somebody out there cherishes your smile
their head turns, and they get butterflies the
 minute you walk into a room. Somebody out
there can't stop thinking about you.
You are beautiful
Don't ever believe differently.

*still obsessed with this thought*

Everything happens for a reason!

So you know when people say everything happens for a reason? I am genuinely starting to believe that. I know it seems like the worst thing possible when you're in the middle of a hard time, but when you finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, that's when it applies most.

 I feel like people don't want to think that their problem will ever get better, and I understand the whole mourning process, but at some point you have to move on. Sometimes that's the only thing you can do: move on. Moving on will help with the situation, and that's when you find the reasons that your trouble happened for. Whether those reasons are to make you stronger, to make you a better friend, or to help teach others, in the end, it was part of your plan. That plan that people call life.

So think positive. Even if the world seems like it's going to end tomorrow, there's a reason for that feeling. And who knows, maybe what you lost will just come back again. If and when it does, learn from your mistake, care for it, and guard it with your life. For you know what life was like without it.

    My only last advice...
