I was just thinking

So I was thinking and wondering, why does one get recognized the most only after they die? Really. I mean, if I died, I would only have my close relatives and best friend be at my funeral, because anyone else doesn't deserve to be there. I wanted you to care about me while I was ALIVE, not when I died.

I wish we could notice people who we don't normally notice, because when they're dead you'll notice them then.

Better skidaddle outta there

So I just crossed the bridge over the canal to get home, and I spot an alligator just calmly floating in the water. It just stares at me with it's 'so called' dagger scary eyes. This was nothing new to me, and I always wondered what it thought when I walked passed it. "I want her for dinner" "she's cute" or "grrr get off me land, arrrg!" Who knows, but 2nd biggest thing I wonder is "is it afraid of ME?" So I decide to take a few shells and throw them near the alligator. Nothing. I take a rock and show it AT the alligator. Nothing. Not even the blink of an eye. So I scurry along before it decides to jump at me and attack unexpectedly.

But my number 1 wonderment about alligators is.... Can they sleep with their eyes open?

Feeling of accomplishment

So me and my merry self walks home from my bus stop almost everyday. A lot of kids walk slow behind me, and a one girl walks incredibly fast in front of me. I got enough sleep last night so I was feeling a little big energized. I decided to have my own little race and catch up with (maybe even "beat") the girl who is always ahead of me. She is tall and takes big steps, I am medium height and take average steps. Catching up with her was a bit of a task, but I beat her. I looked like an idiot walking like a robotic speed-walker, but as I continue to walk home in this 85 degree heat, I feel accomplished.

Justin Bieber's motto

So some of you have heard of Justin Bieber's motto "Be first or be last." I may say that is one stupid motto. So, if you're not at the very top in 1st place, then your last? Didn't know that. Well, why can't I be in the middle? Is there something so wrong about that? I think that that motto is just too under analyzed and a little bit cocky.

So as I sit here in reading class watching a movie about nazi's, I come to realize that school isn't so bad as everyone makes it. What would you honestly be doing if you weren't in school? Working, sleeping, sitting on your couch eating a bag of chips? You never know, but I'm just sayin that school is worth your time and I enjoy it... sometimes... most of the time.

I'm just me.

I'm not Dr. Phil or Oprah, but I am me. I'd like to give people some hope in the worst of trying times.

-you are loved.
-you will be loved.
-everything happens for a reason.
-life goes on, and gets better.
-just believe, and live.

All of the above = true.

Just live your life and only look back on the great things. Life may be the longest thing you do, but it will pass you by. Stop judging, criticizing, and hating. It wastes more time then you know.

Pedals vs. Thorns

I believe the pedals on the rose overpower the thorns. Certain things may happen in your life that make you want to just stop what you're doing forever and just give up, but no. God gave you the strength to get back up and continue. You are strong, you have the power. Now just have the faith and endurance. You can achieve whatever you want. Why did God give you the power to dream if you can't reach those dreams? He wouldn't be that cruel, would he? Think about it.

Certain things

I have to say that you make your life how you want to make it. You can't just sit lazily around waiting for God to hand you things. He put you on this Earth, you were raised, and now it's your turn to steer your life in the direction you want it to go. YOU have the power of doing whatever you want and getting whatever you want. Some people end up lucky. Some. Very few. But you can't sit around hoping to be one of those few. Get up, get what you want. I'm not saying you can get it right away, but it's always the little things along the way of getting IT that is amazing. The journey is always better than getting to destination.

Xoxo, D.
