Invisible Children

I want to help out the Invisible Children. It sounds crazy but if I had the opportunity to go to Uganda I would go in a heartbeat. I love how some people in my family don't believe in helping people in another country. They don't believe all the money we donate goes to the people of Uganda but I have more faith. If people saw what the children go through there they would open up their hearts and try to help out as much as they can. I hope that one day this 21 year war is over for good.

Back in My Life?

So today was the first time I had an actual conversation with you in seven months. Alot has changed in those seven months that you don't know about. It's strange because now I don't hate you. I don't know what changed in me but I've finally forgiven and forgotten. I'm alot happier now and I'm glad that I can have an actual conversation with you without it being awkward. I think my classes are going to be alot easier now that I've let this go. I'm not getting sucked in to what I started last year. I hope you know this.....

Why the Tears?

Was there any reason for me to start crying during my speech the other day? I hate when I cry because my face gets all red and my voice shakes. I'm a strong person so I don't like when people see me weak. I think the only reason I started crying was a combination of nerves, stress, and hearing someone else's speech and having them cry. I kept on thinking what my life would be like without my big sis and just the though brought me to tears. I hate how word spread to people that weren't even my class that I was crying because it brought unwanted attention to me. I had a few people ask me what was wrong and for fear of crying again I lied and said I was fine and nothing was wrong. I'm going to be a complete mess the day she goes to college and leaves me alone.

I Love My Friends

The best kind of friends are the ones that you share good times with. A friend who can make you laugh is worth a handful who can't. So often we walk around with the weight of the world on our shoulders. Our bodies become tense and this is a cause for most illnesses. Having humor in your life is not just a matter of a good time, it's also a matter of living longer. Often when you have a friendship that has lasted a long time you continue to share memories of humorous interactions that you shared. This may be the glue that holds the friendship together.

I love my friends!! :)

May We Never Forget

May we never forget all the people who risked their lives to save us on 9/11. We must share with future generations what happened on the day. If we forget we are letting them win.

In a Good Place

For once in my life I feel a sense of calm and relief. I feel like right now I'm in a good place. I've put behind my past battles and have discovered new friends that were there all along. I'm so excited to see what the future holds for me and all of the new friends I have made because when I put my mind to it I can accomplish anything. I know that this is going to be my year, the year I accomplish my goal of getting better grades and being calm under pressure. Since the first month has gone by I have already gained new friends, lost trust in an old friend, made peace with my past, and have looked forward to my future. It's only the first month and all of that has happened? I just know that this is my year to shine.

I'm Sick

I'm not the type of person to get sick before Labor Day so I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know if all the stress has finally caught up with me or if it's just all in my head. Whatever it is that's making me feel this way I just wish it would stop. I should be happy right now. I shouldn't be feeling like I want to just sleep for a year. I thought this year was going to be "the best year ever" but now by the way it has started, I'm seriously doubting that. It's been a month since school started and I've already lost a friend, and gotten sick. I know that my life could be a whole lot worse right now but I'm still sad and stressed. I'm so thankful to have friends in my life who know how to cheer me up because right now if I didn't have anyone I would be lost.
