YOU know YOUR a good person when ...
a) you love to create theE drama
b) you don't do something because its not 'cool, popular etc' .. because we all know how cool that is.
c) when you are scared to show who you really are because your too afraid people will ' make fun of you ' . also very ..... very cool.
d) you promise yourself your not going to care about what other people think but then you always somehow find yourself down and upset over another persons opinion of you.
e) you act one way in front of a certain person(s) and another way when they aren't around.
f) you always have a negative attitude towards life and people in general.
g) you mimic the things other people do to try and make yourself look good.
h) you'd for sure never be caught with someone who isnt seen as "cool".
i) you like to judge people before you even know them.
j) you find it amusing to put people down and you really superly enjoy making peoples lives a really bad time.
k) you never take the time to appriciate all that you have and you never really say thank you to anything.
l) you make it hard for people to see the real you because your too scared hiding behindddd all the harsh guidelines that are needed to be followed in order to be "popular, cool " etc. and your never just YOU*
m) you find it hard to enjoy the things you like because your too busy faking to like the interests of others.
n) its very rare you smile at people you aren't quite best friends with, but you are familiar with , because you're too busy discussing the latest 'hot gossip'.
o) its a possibility that you'd make fun of someone just to make others laugh
p) you purposely (but don't make it obvious) ignore people in the halls or in public in general just because that's what you do.
q) you make fun of your friends because of something they like or something they said in front of someone who was "cool" but what they said WASNT cool.
r) you'd miss out on something you really wanted to do just because you know if you did it people would critique you.
s) you'd die before being seen with an "ugly" guy/girl in public. and you'd for sure never date one just because of their looks.
t) its difficult to tell the truth and you never tell someone what your really thinking, you wait until later and tell someone else .
u) your so vein that you see nobody above you and everyone beneath you.
v) appearance is so important to you that it overpowers personality and other important qualities
w) some of your favourite lines are "i wasnt suppose to tell you but...." or " don't tell _______ that i told you, it was supposed to be a secret" or " i'm not sure if i should tell you this, but ... "
x) you hate someone because your not brave or confident enough to be yourself, however you're really just jealous that they ARE able to be that way.
y) in your perfect world, there would be you in the centre.
z) its rare that you recall yourself encouraging others or sacrificing something you enjoy to please someone else.
those are only 26 of the never-ending reasons why people are unable to live life to the fullest. What is so common in each of those points is "you" . The problem in the world is that everyone is first to say "Me" instead of "You", "I" instead of "We" and "Mine" instead of "Yours". It isn't everyday that every single person that you talk to , encounter, converse with .. is happy. it isn't very hard to fake a smile, but you never really know what someone is feeling until you are put into their shoes. people don't realize the importance of living THEIR OWN lives. Popularity , Fame , Fortune. None of those are important. you first need to work on yourself. If you really think about it. everything is based around the person that you are and the person that you create for yourself. Change is possible as well. Theres a good possiblity that if your not happy with yourself that you can change that feeling. People that you are surrounded with influence the way you want to be every single day. If you are a person that can look past all the drama, and appriciate each and every one of the people in your life, people WILL look up to you, and you WILL make a difference in the way people want to be.
Helping someone else out can make you feel so good but people tend to lean towards thinking of themselves first. NO one has to even read this and appriciate it, however it IS something to think about. Its important to just sit and reflect on life even though some people may say "wow, they are weird" or "they are deep" .. just sit back and give yourself time to think about life once in a while. So what if people think your weird. they are too busy being unhappy with themselves and their lives that they have to worry about everyone else and everyone else's lives. In the end all you have is yourself, and the memories that you created in the world. The affect you leave on the earth after you die, doesnt die with you. It lives on and affects others still living. If your having a bad day, think about this and work on your good qualities as a person, and dont be afraid to patch up your rough ends.
beeeeeedtime

first and foremost muskoka was SWEET multiplied by one million.
it was one of the best things ever and i'd be lying if i said that im not glad that i went. because im SO glad. i've just had a new outlook on LIFe as of now and its because of going there. its just an excellent feeling.
eeeeeven though i kind of smelled afterwords and i couldnt feel my body for three days. everything just went REAL good and its something that everyone should be able to experience.
there isnt much to write tonight considering i have a messy room and probably three loads of laundry to do along with 4 days worth of homework and my nice bed that i've come home to.
its pretty exciting that i do NOT have to work tonight or this weekend so that i can enjoy the weekend without worrying about work. i didnt worry about work ONCe in muskoka besides the fact that the last day there FELT like work because 4 hours of rock climbing was a little overwhelming howwwweeeeever i got through that as well :)<3 and even though i said i wanted to go home, once we had to leave no one wanted to go home and its understandable.
its time for me to go and do the one hundred things on my invisible to do list.

RISK:
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out to others is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure
But risks MUST be taken
Because the greatest hazard in life - is to do nothing.
The person who risks nothing
Does nothing..
Has nothing..
and IS nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow
But they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes, they are a slave,
they forfeited their freedom.
Only the person who RISKS can be free |
