People Will be People.

No matter what you do, people are always going to be people. They are going to want the best and they are going to want to be in the front, and they are going to want to be better than everyone else at at least one thing.

However, even though everyone wants this, your character comes from how you portray this desire to "win".
Some people will be rude to others to make sure they get what they want. Others will be kind to people so that later on, people will be more likely to help them out.
So even though the people that are kind don't necessarily get what they want right away, in the end, they get more of what they want more of the time because people are more likely to help them out because they were so kind to begin with.

In the end, people will want others to be kind to them even if they aren't always kind to others. So, I believe that people need to stop worrying about everyone else and their problems and start taking care of their own! Why do you even care who was kissing who after gym class. And why do you care if someone smokes on the weekends?
In the end, it's their life and not yours.

I heard this quote the other day and it has become one of my favorites:
"When my time comes, I will be the one who has to die. So please let me live my life the way I want to."

This really made me smile because it's so true. You are in no place to judge anyone for what they do and the decisions that they make wont affect your life in any way, shape, or form. So let them do what they want to do and you do what you do and all will be well in the world.

Just try your best to be as kind as possible to everyone. You never know when you just might make someones day for the smallest of reasons.

Gracias

Thankfulness.

It has been brought to my attention recently that I'm not as thankful as I probably should be for just the little things in my life.
Example: A house to sleep in, food to eat everyday, water, eyesight, shoes, clothes, eyesight, the ability to walk, to run, and skip and jump. To sing and dance and just to be able to type this.

Its amazing how much we are able to do when you think about it. When I go to bed at night, I don't thank God for my eyesight, or for my water, or even for the bed I'm sleeping in. It's selfish. I know. But imagine living without these things. It would be nearly impossible for you to just suddenly go without something after you have lived your entire life with it.

So even though there are millions of things that I don't say thank you for daily, I think the most important one is friendship. I've been going through a rather rough time lately with some medical stuff and my friends have been there since the moment it started. There were times where I was absolutely terrified, but somehow, they got me through it. They make me slow down, take a deep breathe and just take a second to realize that its not the end of the world.
Not yet anyways.

If you guys are reading this, please know that I love you. I don't know what the future holds but you have helped me get through so much! I love you guys.

God Bless!

STARS

STARS

-me.

Somewhere, beyond the stars
lies the answers to the questions we've been holding
and the days we haven't awoken to yet.
Somewhere, beyond the stars
are the things we wish the world was
and the plaes we've invented in our subconcience.
Beyond the stars
there is good.
Patiently waiting for us to want to be with him.
The forever that we've invented in our minds
is waiting beyond the stars.

Hard To Write About...

Some things are hard to write about. After something happens to you, you go to write it down and either you over dramatize it or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones. At any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to.

I wish I could tell my stories exactly the way they happened. But its hard sometimes.

Everyone lives their own life and has their own experiences and so when something happens to you, the way you handle it, or its significance on your life my be much different to you than someone else who experiences the exact same thing.

Go with the flow and follow your heart.
Nothing can go wrong then.

Life Doesn't Last Forever

Lately I have been thinking back to the days when I was 4 or 5. The days where I would run around outside without a care in the world. I wasn't completely obsessed with checking in on everyone elses life around me and I lived a life of me.

And I think that's my problem...

The 21st Century is full of technology; Facebook and Twitter being the most popular among teens. However, has anyone ever imagined how their lives would be without these things? Have you ever even considered it? How different would your life be if you didn't know that @Stan_theMAN bought a coke zero at the gas station today. #peacebro
or if you didn't know that One Direction was seen in the studio today with Ed Sheeran?

The truth is, your life would be the exact same if you didn't know these things. Fate has a way of working itself out, and it has been doing exactly that since anyone can even imagine. I think that people these days are too crazed about documenting their every move- which most of the time is no movement at all- that they don't have any extra time to actually live their lives.

Starting tomorrow I am going to go a complete week Twitter and Facebook free. And I challenge you to try it with me! How bad could it possibly be right?!

Lets see how different life can be when you don't spend your every last minute in everyone elses world, and actually start living in your own.

"Always remember that some of the best moments in your life, have yet to be experienced."

Passionate

What an amazing week this has been. I just got back from Show Choir camp in Kansas and it was one of the best experiences in my life. I met so many amazing people and took some great memories home with me. This camp reminded me why I fell in love with music in the first place! It doesn't matter how good you are at it, it only matters that you never give up on it. I believe in music, like some people believe in fairy tales. Music is my boyfriend. Music helps me explain the things that I could never put in to words. When you are surrounded by people who share those same feelings with you, it makes for a pretty amazing week. Nothing else mattered at that moment.
I reminded myself to never give up. To always embrace music, because it will always be there for me. You might as well passionate about something while you're young.
I'm counting down the days until I can go again next year. #Butler2013

Here I Am...

Here I am, starting a blog about life in general. To be completely honest I don't know what I will be writing, or about what. But fun is all in the unknowing right? Adventure. That's what you live life for.

I could take 50 years to tell you about who I am, or what I think, but that's impossible considering that I don't even know who I am yet. I know who I was, and I think I know who I want to be, but to be completely honest with you, life is so fast-paced that I really don't think I'll know who I am until the day I'm no longer here on this Earth anymore. But, I hope you get an idea of who I am through my experiences that I'll share with you and hopefully, through reading my stories, you'll be able to have another perspective of the world that you never even knew existed...

So, heres to life, and the adventures still to come. 

Much Love,
That One Girl x
