Nothing Is Permanent

This quote reminds me that everyday, something changes. Everyone changes, even if they don't want to. Change can be good or bad, it just depends on what the change is dealing with. Do you like change?

Flying

To me, this quote is telling me that there is no limits, no matter what you are doing. If you set your mind to something, and you really want it, you can achieve it.  When you have a goal, you should try your very best to reach that goal. Don’t let someone drag you down. So when you want to fly, fly, and don’t let someone make you walk.

Tuesday : Picture Day :)

Every Tuesday I will start posting a picture with a quote on it. :) Tell me what you think below.

Where have you been?

“Who you are is not where you’ve been.”

- Taylor Swift -

Do you believe that Tayllor is right when she states that it doesn't matter where you have been to be able to make you who you are?

This is a really cool website. Enjoy :)

Remember Me

“If you remember me, then I don’t care if everyone else forgets.”

- Haruki Murakami

Is there one person that you don’t want to forget you? Maybe of the opposite sex, or the same? Someone that has been a huge part of your life, or maybe a small, but important part. I think everyone has that one person that they don’t want to forget, and they hope that that person doesn’t forget them. Write your thoughts below.

“True life is lived when tiny changes occur.”
-Leo Tolstoy 

- The little things in life can make the most difference. At least this is the case in my life. I care about the little thinsg, because the dictate the bigger things.

Crowds

“Crowds can make one lonely, I always feel like an island in a sea of people.”

- Sidney Sheldon’s The Sands of Time

 

Do you ever feel completely alone, even though you are surrounded by a ton of people?  I do, along with most teenagers in high school.

SMILE

“Life is better with a smile”

This quote is absolutely true. People take things to seriously in life. You need to “live, laugh, love.” And, you need to do those three things to the fullest. You only live once, so make sure you are happy more often, and tied together with a smile. J

Memories

“We do not remember days, we remember moments”

I think that this quote is partially true. It depends on the event that happened, or how important it is to you. Take a wedding, for example. If you are the mother of the bride, you are going to remember the exact date, time, and every little detail from the wedding. But, if you are not very close to the bride, or go as someone’s date (not even knowing the bride) you can easily forget the date and the time, but you might remember some memories.

How would you feel?

" How would you feel, if you were the reason why someone cried every night?
-Unknown

So many people cry themselves asleep at night, and no one knows. For many reasons that some of us don’t understand, but next time someone looks like they’re having a bad day, take a second to walk up to them and see if you can help. You might just save a life.

I believe that this quote is right

“Peace begins with a smile..”
-Mother Teresa

If you even put the slightest smile on, you can change someones whole day. So next time you want to walk around with a frown on, think about affect you're having on other people around you. It taks 43 muscles to frown, and 17 muscles to smile. :)

What is your personal thought about this quote?

“No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves.”

- Haruki Murakami

Success

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”

- Maya Angelou

Success, it what you make it. Just like in order to be happy, you have to accept yourself. And in order to succeed, you have to like yourself, what you do, and how you do it. Everything you do make sure you give it all that you have, because you might not get another chance. Never regret, because at one time it was exactly what you wanted. In order to succeed, one must believe in themselves.

“You’re a different human being to everyone you meet.”

- Chuck Palahniuk, Rant

Think about it, no one else in this entire would is exactly just like you. While you’re growing up you need to realize this, so you can become your own person. Society teaches us to learn certain things, buy certain things, and act a certain way, but we should all do it uniquely, and with our own added touch. To go along with this quote there is a one that goes “You were born an original.  Don't die a copy.”  ~John Mason. also, don't forget about that.

Happiness

“Happiness Starts With Yourself” -Unknown

In order to be happy in life, I personally think one must be happy with themselves first. So many times you hear people trying to perfect their appearance, or their personality. What some people don’t understand, is that you should find someone that loves you for you, and someone that accepts your flaws. No one  is perfect, but to be happy with yourself, accept yourself. Life will be easier and better in you are happy with yourself, despite all of your imperfections.

“We are at our sexiest when we feel the most confident. We are at our least attractive when we are sure of our inadequacies and practically cave in on ourselves to conceal them… We all handicap ourselves with insecurity, and it’s up to us to reset the self-worth scale and alter the message we sound out into the world… So how do we remind ourselves of our fabulousness without letting our self-doubt or the criticism of others drag us down? Triggers. We wear heels. We get waxed. We do things that make us attractive to ourselves and, therefore, able to allow others to do the same. And they work… Confidence is a state of mind, but sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to realize it. There is nothing wrong with embracing the tools that allow us to get there; heels, bikini waxes, whatever. As long as we’re aware of the fact that we are worth the same with or without these tools…”

- Olivia Wilde

To me this quote is pretty much summarizing our society. Our society has brained washed us into thinking we have to always look the best, and have the best. In society women are suppose to be skinny, white teeth, clear face, perfect hair, and they are suppose to wear designer clothing. In order to be happy with life, you have to be happy with yourself. Confidence is the key in succeeding in life. With it, you can accomplish anything, and without it, you won’t. You don’t have to wear make-up, get your teeth whitened, or get your body waxed to feel beautiful. You are beautiful no matter what people think or say.

Quotes :)

A quote can help someone describe what kind of mood that they are in. Sometimes, you can’t find the right words to express the way you feel… but someone else already has. In life we have a lot of ups and downs, and people all across the world have them too. It’s amazing that we can go through many challenges - achievements during out life time, and someone else in the world

is going through something so similar. To me, quotes are a necessity to my everyday life. Quotes can help me get through a hard time, make me think positive, make my day a little brighter, and they can even help me believe in  myself. Quotes can be categorized into age groups. There are so many out there, and they can relate to everyday life. For a teenage girl, it is good to feel that someone elese understand what I am going through. Someday, you should look at quotes, and see how people express their feelings through them, and how you can too.

“When you’re struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it’s just as hard as what you’re going through.”
- Nicholas Sparks (Dear John)

Love

So many people think that no one loves them, particularly at a hard time. But what they don't know is that someone in the world does. God, for example, will always love you, no matter what you do. I sometimes think that the only time we try to talk to God, is when we are in a hard time and want to reach out to him. God will always be there to listen during good times, and the bad, but don’t just talk to him during the bad times. You can always reach to a friend or a family member. If you don’t have any friends, go make some. Nothing is impossible if you believe in yourself. You do not need someone else to make or break you. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
- Philippians 4:13

Memories & Pictures

Memories are something that one can embrace forever. With a picture, someone can embrace that memory with a visual and cling to it if needed. Life throws us constant curve balls and you never know what is going to happen next. Maybe not to you, but to me, picture taking is part of my daily routine. I enjoy every aspect of pictures. Think about it, as soon as you take that picture, that time will always be visual as long as you have that picture. Pictures can capture that special moment that you want to remember forever. In the picture below, I am tagging out a girl at 3^rd base. I will forever remember this game during my sophomore year of high school against my rival school.

Family Always Comes First.

Last year during one of my traveling softball games, some of my family came to watch me. My mother’s side of the family lives about two hours away, so I do not get to see them as often as I would like with my busy schedule, and theirs. In the picture that my mom took was my Aunt Cheryl, Uncle Curt, Aunt Penny, Evert, Aunt Brenda, Uncle Jerry, Corky and his wife. Within a year of taking that picture, two of them have died, and one has severe Alzheimer’s, which forced him to get put in a nursing home. This pictures reminds me about how fast life is, and how unbelievably unpredictable it is. So many things can happen in a short amount of time. Love people who love you, and forget the ones who don’t. Always respect yourself, and the people around you. Make time for people, who will make time for you. Forgive, but don’t forget, and be happy.
