Well heyyyyy!! Long time no talk :) I've just missed ya tons!
I thought I'd write this one to shed some light on life. It's not going to be super deep or meaningful...just some things I've learned recently!
5 facts of life that I've recently learned:
1. I'm not going to be everyone's cup o' tea, and that is just fine by me! It used to really bother if I felt like someone wasn't super fond of me, or if I felt that they just did not like me; however, I've pulled myself together and come to realize that as long as I have a couple of people who enjoy me and my weird sense of humor and large personality then I'm just fine.
2. High school is rough...with a capital R! You know how in movies they portray high school as this amazing, wonderful time of your life? Well I've come to find out...the movies may have stretched the truth! And don't get me wrong...there are times when high school CAN be really amazing! Just know that you are destined for much better things outside of high school...don't let high school be the ONLY amazing time in your life.
3. Good friends are hard to come by...I've touched on this one quite a bit, but please let me be a broken record! High school is a time of petty drama and silly fights, so finding really good friends is hard, but maybe branch out! I decided to find my good friends at church, and, sure, sometimes I get sad that I don't have friends at school everyday; but all it takes is one amazing moment with my really amazing friends and I leave my pity party and move on (you can too) :)
4. It's important to be positive...hey! I'll be the first to admit that I am the queen of being emotional, so it's hard for me to stay positive all of the time. And that's ok! Life's gonna get you down sometimes, but what I've found is that an amazing support system (friends, parents, pastors, etc.) make it a whole lot easier to dig yourself out of that little hole of despair and come up to the surface.
5. Life is stressful. Ha! oh man...I know that life is stressful. With college, ACT, SAT, AP classes, and the soon to come college application, it can feel like you're drowning in a sea of stress and pressure. Just remember that even though it's hard now, and it's not always fun growing up...everyone does it! You (and I) are not alone! *side note* find something fun to do to take you're mind off of all of the stress! I'm lucky that I have fun parents and fun friends who help me relax...find something that helps you feel at ease when you feel about read to melt into a puddle of person :)
I hope this helps you feel a little less alone when it comes to the daily trials of life! You all are awesome...don't forget it!
