Tides Have Changed
Sometimes I feel like I’m not good enough. I just always wonder “What if?”, you know? What if I didn’t say that? What if I didn’t do this? I’m just so confused about so many things. The regret is what really kills me… I’m all about fate and the idea that whatever happens is what is supposed to happen. We’re all here on God’s green earth to serve a purpose…to change people’s lives, to learn and to grow through everything. I know that I am going to make an impact…I just wish I knew in what capacity. This is my time to figure it all out. This is my time to grow. This is my time to put into words those things that mean the most to me.

just a thought
i had a glimpse today back into my life from my 5-8th grade years. it made me want to throw this out there.
many of you are still in school, and if not, you have jobs, or you’re involved in SOMETHING where you’re around a group of people that you know, but maybe just on an acquaintances-basis. i just want to encourage everyone to look for that one person whos different. and by that, i mean the person who’s looked over, or maybe comes off a little shy or quiet, or maybe even seems straight up weird. if you haven’t reached out to them, just to say hello, or ask about a particular interest that you know you might have in common. it’s easy to get caught up in things going on in your own life & not take notice that maybe someone around you could use a just simple conversation.
in experience, i can tell you that in my younger years, i was probably seen as that ‘weird’ kid. i was an only child and i housed the craziest imagination with no one really to share it with. which was fine, i was oblivious to anything outside of my dream world usually, but i never quite understood why i didn’t have friends like most of the kids at school did. i think i set myself up for it, with my glowing alien necklaces & unicorn/fairy EVERYTHING, doing my hair just like gwen stefani did (not knowing you can only pull that off if you’re …gwen), buying clothes i thought might make them notice me, & making up stories that Reba Macentire was my Aunt just to have something that the other kids would want to talk to me about. hahah.
So without going on and on, I just want you to be the CHANGE, and go up to that person and say hello! The simplest things can be so huge. It’s hard to do that sometimes if you ponder it, so don’t think & just do it. Asking them just a couple simple questions about what they’re into or introducing them to one of your favorite bands or websites…just SOMETHING… might just make their whole year. And who knows, they might end up being awesome (usually i find they are ALWAYS the coolest & funniest people i’ve been blessed to encounter) and you’ll be so thankful for a new found friend.

Reblog please.
love.
I completely agree. I’m going to do this the first chance I get :)
If ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with you.

She told me, “It took a long time, but I finally figured it out. When It comes to men who are romantically interested in you, It’s really simple. Just Ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do. That’s it.

No where to be

Nothing to do
No one but me
And that’s all I need.
