Being Beautiful

My friend, Maia, actually made me think of this. Hopefully, it doesn't seem like I'm stealing her idea. But I just wanted to say that there's a lot of negativity about being yourself. You can't be yourself without society judging you. There's girls (and boys) around the world wanting to look perfect. They want someone to tell them that they are beautiful or handsome.

Now a days, people care about being perfect. They get cosmetic surgery, they pile on makeup, they work out constantly, and they starve themselves. But what they don't notice is that they already are beautiful. There's so many beautiful people out there that think, "Oh, I'm too fat. I'm not beautiful. I need to work out more." You know what? No, you're aren't fat. No, you ARE beautiful. No, you don't need to work out more. All you need to be is happy and healthy. You don't need to starve yourself to look beautiful.

When you look in the mirror, most people don't see themselves. They just see what they THINK they look like. That's what society has done to us. They have corupted the image of beauty.

I hope in the years to come, society will change. They will say, curves are amazing. I pray that will happen, but then in the back of my mind, I know that'll never happen. But all you can do is hope and pray.

No matter what, you ARE beautiful. You ARE perfect. You ARE worthy.

You're gorgeous,

Taylor Swift Stole My Diary

Taylor Swift. Wonderful singer. Beautiful girl. Steals your diary.

Taylor Swift stole my diary, I have to admit. She knows what I'm thinking. I bet she's psycic. I think she gone through every situation that every girl has gone through. She writes from the heart. Every boy needs to listen.

She writes down what's true. I like that because most songs these days are all about inapporiate stuff. But Taylor Swift is pure genius. She gets revenge, she says she's sorry. It's like a poem. A ingenius style of lyrical sayings. I love it. Every girl has to love it even the listen to punk or screamo. I bet they have it on their playlists.

So there's a story. Taylor Swift stole my diary... And she reads minds.

New Year

Okay, so we all know it's the new year and we want to make changes. I made promises to myself last year and I kept them. But then I look back and see how much I've changed in the past year. I've made new friends, I'm more confident, I've changed in my appearance, and I'm more responsible... There's a lot. I want to make a lot of changes this year. So what I want to change this is to eat healthier, exercise more, stand up for what's right, be less shy, and try to help as much as I can. What are your resolutions?

Judgement

My pet peeve is when people judge other people on just how they look. I mean, doesn't bother you?

One of my family members (plural) judges people ALL the time. I've talked to them about it but yet they still do it. Here's an example on how they judge(true story):

Them: "Hey did you see that girl with the skinny jeans and that tight short top?"
Someone else:"Yeah"
Me: "No. I didn't" (i was thinking oh no not again.)
Them: "Well it looked disgusting. I mean, with her belly hanging out."
Me: I stay silent. I don't want to make them mad. But i disagreed. I mean its her choice to wear that top, not mine and i respect that.
Them: "well do think that they should wear that tight of skinny jeans?"
Me: "Yes, i wear tight skinny jeans. she can wear them too."
Them: They stay silent. after a minute they changed the subject.

Doesn't that make you sad? I mean what if she just found Christ and was trying to change her life and didn't have any money to buy new clothes? What if she just got over an addiction?

It just makes me hurt that some people judge people by just how they look. What if someone judge you that way?

Why I started Writing...

The title is plain and simple. Why did I start writing? Well, probaly because I simply enjoy it... I just love writing... It's like another world for me. I can write my own book, how i want. I started writing a little bit after I started reading Christian Romance novels. I started reading and then I thought "Oh, why don't I write a book?". I just popped up in my head. Even though I'm young to be a writer, I was encouraged to write. I am encouraged to write. I love that God has given me the ability to write.

30 Hour Famine

Well, let's just say it was hard... but totally worth it.

It gave me something to think about, people in Africa (even in America) mostly eat without food for days even weeks. i don't know how they can do it. it's hard even drinking TONS of juice and i mean TONS. and starving people aometimes don't even have juice or any other drink.

While, before, and after the 30 hour famine my youth group and i raised money for children in Africa. We played a "survial" game in which you got a card and it told you what tribe you were from, what "disese" you had, and then you had to play an intire game without using a part of your body. i lost my foot, so i had to hop around on one single foot through the whole game. that was hard. and on the card it told a story of a child that had the same "diesese" has you. it hurt to find out that a little girl that was 7 years old had lost a leg because she drank "uncooked" water.

25,000 kids ages 5 and under die everyday from poverty, hunger, and disease. 14,000 kids die from hunger alone everyday. Every seven seconds, another child dies from hunger.

I'm very glad i did the 30 hour famine.
