My constant rambling, feel free to fastfoward!

I'm absolutely terrible. I'm disgusted with myself and my lack of writing. Well this should be a long one. I'm not even going to bother making excuses for my laziness, instead just tell you how I've been sick for the past two days, perfect opportunity to be home and blogging. No, instead I waste my time online shopping and watching cliche Christmas movies like "Home Alone 4" and pointless shows like the "Real Housewives of (whatever location is on). I've been wasting away these past two weeks, due to the fact that I feel I have the right to. (I really, really don't.)
I could be doing these things:
Filling out my scholarship form
Studying
Practicing for my tryouts, which are in a week
BLOGGING!
Taking photographs to decorate my blog and my flickr
Socializing
Changing the world

So yeah, I'm a waste of space at the moment and I'm very tenacious about doing so.
Thanksgiving was amazing, my family is so beautiful, so fun to be around and this holiday helps remind me of that. I have so many blessings to be thankful for, I could bore you for a month talking about them. I finally had a day to say "thank you" for all of them. That day, in itself, is something to be grateful for. This country has so much, I have so much, I can't express enough phrases of gratitude for it all, but one day I hope God understands how appreciative I am. Than again, I'm such a slacker lately!

My birthday is this coming Saturday!

So now, here's the topic: forgetting.
I haven't written for almost 3 weeks, so this might be out of the blue, that I know, but the month of December will hopefully be a creative one! One last thing, can someone please tell me why I want to do anything BUT something productive. Okay, the end of my pointless rambling.




There are so many things that happen in life. So, so, soooo  many things. I wish I knew how to handle everything that happens. I wish I knew why you can have the best day in the world, and watch everything crumble the next day. I guess it's just part of the deal, we get to live, we get the chance to make our name in the world, we need to understand that there's always going to be the positive, but then there will be a few negative fragments mixed in. It's like when you get a little piece of the eggshell in the cake batter and can't get it out, you let it be. Sure, it would be nice if it wasn't in there, but you learn to deal with it. You just enjoy how great the cake tastes, instead of worrying about biting on that eggshell. That's life. We get over the negatives, and savor the positives. It's a funny way of working things out. It's just, sometimes it's so hard, especially for me. Balancing the two is difficult, and the older I get, the more problems occur. At the same time though, the more I learn to deal with the problems. Recently, everything was going exceedingly well. I was on cloud nine. Suddenly, everything dropped, it's like God suddenly turned the gravity switch on again. Thank goodness it brought me back to earth, but at the same time, it caused me way to many tears. Surprisingly though, those tears were short lived. I learned to forget. Forget what made me sad, and instead, realize the people trying to make me happy, and the things I have/had that made me happy. Nothing a mistake, it's just a lesson. It happened, you grow from it, you move on. These past weeks, I realized it's time to stop focusing on the lust in life. The gilded things, the gilded people. Instead, find the love. The people who glow inside and out. My friends are the most amazing people in my life. Sometimes, I forget them, try to find new people to replace them. It's so unintelligible of me. So thoughtless. They are there for me in an instant. Letting me cry on their shoulders and laugh at their jokes. They fill the empty spaces completely.
So, sure, bad things happen. They happen to us all. We have to stop sulking, thinking we're the only ones, realize it's a lesson, and FORGET! New things will come, greater things actually. Just wait, I promise. So all of you afraid of the eggshells, STOP! Enjoy your cake, enjoy it fully. You don't even have to share. And when it's gone, just remember, all you have to do it bake a new one. This time, you know something though, you know to watch out for those eggshells.;)

Well I hope you have a wonderful. eggshell free day! And if it's going a little rough, remember I care! Always here to talk as well for whomever reads.

I have so many treasures and I'm living my life right now. This blog and whomever may read it being one of them. Thank you. And to whomever reads daily, I will write in length soon!

"The assurance of things hoped for; the conviction of things not seen"

My belly button! :) Hey, it served as a good "o".
I haven't written on my blog in quite a long time. It's not like I've been THAT busy. Okay, maybe a little, but I have no right to be making any excuses. I do feel bad about not writing though; bad for myself, bad for any people who may read this blog. I definitely have not forgotten about it! I am constantly jotting down notes on topics to write about and things that inspire me. At the moment, I have enough topics to last me a month, or three.
Now, before I get writing, I'm going to give a little update on my life, without being to overly dramatic and quite frankly, annoyingly boring. My life has been busy, yet bland at the same time, but a tad bit more exciting thankfully. These past two weeks have been absolutely phenomenal and not to mention, informative. I've learned so much. Mostly from in depth conversations with people whom I usually barely converse with.
*Tip of the week: pursue new friends. You never know what someone's really like until you have a full conversation with. Besides, it's always fun to unravel the mystery of people. Just don't get too nosy. Let down that wall. (Just a minor bit)*
So topic of the blog post: Hope. Imagine where we'd be in life without those four letters. My life, along with the majority of the rest of the population's lives, are built of of that unifying yet unique word. If we didn't have hope, we'd truly have nothing pushing us through the challenges presented to us on that little path we walk commonly referred to as life. Humans go through struggles, struggles that define us, but what helps us push through them? Hope. We hope for promising futures, brighter situations, and abundant smiles. Hope enables us to dream and know there's going to be a future, even if the present isn't so luminous. Hope is in each and every one of us. One of our most powerful weapons, yet the most overlooked and forgotten. Hope is in the most simplistic terms, beautiful. It captures the essence of the bewildering souls we possess. The souls that understand the hardships handed out and are never weary of blissful moments. those who have hope have the mindset to get through almost everything. There's one thing about hope that is disregarded sadly and that is hope's sister: faith. Together faith and hope are powerful forces that help change dreams into reality. Hope helps us to understand the greatness in the future after we overcome our struggles. Faith helps us be assure those dreams will be put into action as long as we work towards them. All of are are given the intellect to find these two blessing buried in the deepness of our souls. It's those who use these to things that achieve complete tranquility and grace to remember to get through the crazy-ness scattered throughout our lives. So in conclusion, I HOPE that whomever is reading this joins me in my journey. May we find these two things and incorporate them into our lives. We might as well take advantage of what we're given. Have a blessed day filled with hope and faith.

*Thanks to all the veterans living in the astounding country. You're efforts filled with ideal examples of faith and hope and belief of a safer country have not gone unnoticed. May the safety you fought for, surround you your whole life. Thank you<3
