Memorial Day

In honor of this up coming holiday, I decided to make a post. When I was little, my dad told me that if I should see a soldier in uniform at the store or anywhere else, it is always nice to shake hands with them and thank them for all they have done. I try to do that, even today, because if they didn't fight for us to be safe and free, we wouldn't be in the position we are in now. Because of them, we don't have to live in the dangerous situations that they have to live in on a daily basis during times of war. I invite you to thank them with me. I just want to thank all the soldiers for helping with the capture of Osama. I want to thank them for helping with all the other dictators, and especially for helping to keep us free. It most certainly cannot be easy to go into a battle zone where you don't know if you will die or when you will die. So, thank you!

And may those soldiers that did die for us rest in peace. May God bless those families and friends, as well.

Cancer

Recently I found out the mother of one of my friends has been diagnosed with brain cancer. He told me he doesn't know what to do now. It kind of brought tears to my eyes because I thought about what I would do if I ever lost my mom to cancer at my age. It goes back to the saying, "You don't know what you have till it's gone." A lot of the time, we forget that uncle that doesn't talk to the family anymore or the brother we used to be in touch with. If they die from cancer or some other disease, we usually regret not helping them with the things they need help with and we regret not spending enough time with them. It would be a good idea to spend as much time with loved ones as possible. Encourage them not to smoke or drink because these are especially dangerous. Show them your support and that you are there for them. They need to feel that love. <3

Make a Change

Make a Change by Michael Jackson is a very true song. Its amazing to think about all the people that try and blame others for the problems they are having, when in reality, they are their own problem. It is important to take pride in yourself and know that you can always feel good about yourself no matter what. If you don't like something, change it. Your fate is in your own hands and only you can change it. You just need to be WILLING to change those things. Try starting with "the man (or woman) in the morror" and don't try and tackle the world all at once. Also, be grateful for what you have. There are some people who have nothing. For you to be unhappy with all you have that others don't may be a selfish thing. Rmember, you have the power to make this world a better place and to do things that may be huge jump for you. Just look to yourself and believe that you can do it. Chances are, people feel the same way and may be able to help you! *Check the song out if you haven't heard it!*

Temporary Satisfaction

It is crazy to think that there are so many temptations in this world. Violence, drugs, alcohol, sex... Its amazing what we do just to satisfy a temporary "need". Little do we know, these things are killing us emotionally, socially, and even physically. This world is changing so quickly. It is hard to say no these days because "everyone is doing it" and "I dont want to be an out-cast". Where is our self control when we need it? It's burried under our obsessions of worldly objects. Stay true to you and who you are.

Mother's Day

Since it is almost Mother's Day, I have decided to make a post dedicated to all mothers, incliding my mom. In my opinion, my mother is one of the best out there. I love my mom. I am grateful for her because without her, my life would have fallen apart from the beginning. I don't know what I would ever do without her. I hope everyone feels the same way I do. I feel sorry for those people who have no mother figure in their life. Basically, I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the mothers out there because without them, we wouldn't be here! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOTHERS IN THE WORLD!!!!!
With love, Me

Grudge

Why do we bother holding a grudges? Its just poisoning our souls. Like being tortured and it is or lives that it dulls. Sending us into great sadness and sucking us into eternal madness. When we forgive life flows like a song then suddenly it doesn't feel all wrong.

It is truly sad when a person chooses to be mad and hold a grudge. It is slowly killing us and draining our energy because we put all our focus on that one negative thing. By doing this, we usually end up pushing someone away, whether it be family, friends, or future acquaintances.

I Am Here

Thinking about you, wondering how you are. Knowing that the distance between us is far. I know I can be there soon if you'd just call. Trust me and know that I will never let you fall. I'll be by your side forever I'm always here. There isn't a need to shed a tear. I'll hold you tight and fight for you. There are so many things for you I would do. When you make up your mind i'll be waiting, arms wide open, soft, loving, and kind.

It's hard to give up a relationship when you still really like, or love, a person. Even though you want so badly to get them back, there is nothing that you can do to change their mind. The only thing left to do is wait and see what happens. Just don't give up hope, though. They may need you one day.

Rainy Day

As i stare out the window, my breath fogs up the glass. Many thoughts surround me as they whisper things from my past. Fidgeting with my fingers as my thoughts grow immense. My breath quickens and my body feels tense. Tears fill my eyes to where i cannot see. It feels like a rainy day- down and unhappy.

I know everyone has those days where they are just depressed- man or woman. Its comforting to find something that can somewhat describe the way you feel. Especially when you just have no words to say, and the many thoughts that surround you seem overwhelming.
