Kiss My Fat A**

I do not understand people sometimes. If you are not skinny you are obese, if you have curves you are fat, if one little thing is wrong with you, you are not attractive. 

Marilyn Monroe was a gorgeous woman back in the day. Her size was considered perfect in the 50's and 60's. Society today has completely changed the views on woman. What ever happened to just being fit and healthy, not skinny and unhealthy. Sure everyone is perfect in their own way but some ways are just plan unhealthy. There are girls starving themselves who have anorexia or bulimia because society things they are too fat. 

Society has made us look at ourselves differently. If you are not a size 0-2 you are not skinny or pretty enough, THIS IS MESSED UP!!!

You do not need to be a size 2 to gain the attention of someone. If a man doesn't like you because you are not the right size there is something wrong with them. You think you will end up single for life because you are not good enough or skinny enough. You are, there is someone out there that is dating a size 2 but is boring as a Barbie. He is just with her for the looks. All sizes are beautiful. It just matters on how you see yourself. If you are a size 2 and you are healthy, good for you. Just do it for yourself not for a guy. 

I've been in a relationship with the same guy for over 2 years. I finally decided that I wanted to become healthy and fit for myself, not him. I don't want to be skinny, I want to be healthy. 

Bucket Wishing

As a teenager/young adult I make lots of mistakes. I have to make decisions and sometimes I choose the wrong conclusion. I personally know that it is part of life and we all make mistakes that can impact our lives tremendously. 

I'm done caring about those mistakes.

I want to create a bucket list for summer. I have wanted to visit many places and do many things and I plan to accomplish this in my summer before college. This summer is supposed to be fun and I am not letting it be anything else, I want absolutely no drama, just happiness. That is easier said than done. 

My bucket list will be the things that I have dreamed of doing without going too far out of my price range, I do have to pay for college so I need to make some money rather than spend it. Hopefully I will have a job I will love this summer so I do not hate going to work every day. I have a few job interviews so we will see what good comes from it. Wish me luck!

I'm On Top Of The World. Kinda.

I wanted to create something that people would admire and look forward to reading every day. I always look forward to writing a new blog. I want to be an inspiration to those who need it. I voice my opinion and people do not like it sometimes. But isn't that what the world should be? We voice our opinions and say what we feel but yet we get judged for what we feel and say. 

Why is the world this way? All over the internet you see these pictures that say be yourself and say what you feel but why? We are who we are but it is not good enough to so many people. I can't tell you how things should be because of course I have my opinion but does it matter? Not everyone sees what I see and what I think is right might not be right to anyone else. 

Here goes another opinion, I hate that it is illegal to have guy friends. I have a friend that happens to be a guy and we talk a lot and we enjoy it because we do not judge each other. But his "friend/girlfriend/fwb" does not approve and will constantly call me mean names and tell everyone I am hitting on her boyfriend. We may have some what of a history, but our history does not interfere with our friendship. I hate that things have to be this way. 
I hate that girls freak out about how these other girls are taking their leftovers, but if none of us dated each others left overs the whole world would pretty much be single. We may have issues with those people but that is no reason to not allow happiness to those couples. 

This is one messed up world we live in, but why does my opinion matter?

Thinking Out Loud.

That feeling you get when you feel accomplished is the best feeling ever. I finally feel like I have my life together. 

I know what college I am going to.

I know what I am going for, mostly.

I feel calm.

I put my life in a whole new perspective. I recently read an article on Facebook about how we think of love now and how we think romance is dead and that we do not even know what romance is. I showed this article to a few people and asked what they thought about it. One of them said that we may not know what romance is but we can create our own. Which really hit something. How can we tell people that they do not know what love is when we don't know what it is ourselves. We judge those who think they are in love when they may have a different kind of love. Why do we feel the constant need to judge those who are not like ourselves? I will never figure out what makes this world turn. Everyone has a different perspective of everything. Some of us may see someone else's relationship as our business when it is really not. We cannot accept how others are. Why is this? Why are we like this? 

Is it wrong to love 2 people at the same time? Is it wrong to love someone of the same sex? It may be to you but it won't be to someone else. We choose a religion where we are completely against everything that is not in The Bible, but why? We are supposed to love everyone but yet we don't. This world does not make sense to me.

I'm sure everyone has seen the dress controversy, whether it is blue and black or white and gold. This is the perfect example about how no one sees the same thing. Our minds work in mysterious ways. We all see something different. Take that into perspective. 

The Last Goodbye

Ill have to admit that high school was my happy place. I hate letting go of everything. I played my last game on my home court last night and it was emotional. I think the thing that sucks the most is that everyone else already has plans for their life and where they are going and I have no idea. I hate the fact that high school and college are 2 completely different things. 

I'm trying to look on the bright side of everything   I do want to move on with my life but I don't like being shoved out of the nest. I want to gradually be pushed. I'm not ready to go somewhere where I don't know anyone. If I was going with at least one other person I think I would be okay. That's why I want to stay at the college here for 2 years and move out to a larger college. No one approves of that though. 

But I will learn that I just gotta do me and what I believe is best for me.

Let's Get Deep

So I'm constantly stuck thinking of what I need to do. There is so many decisions to make that are all too difficult. College is a huge decision but I really disagree with the fact that if you don't go to college you're a failure and if you do go then you are going to study something that will cost you thousands of dollars but you might not end up in that field. I don't know why I'm struggling with this more than others but I am and it sucks. There are so many people that have their lives figured out and are signing to play sports at colleges and have their college paid for but not me, I'm not good enough. I've been filling out scholarships like crazy but I feel like it's not enough. 

I'm throwing out the pros and the cons too much, I know that not every school is gonna be perfect but I don't want to be someone who drops out after a semester or a year. If I stay here then I'll get judged since this place is considered "The land of misfits". But there is so much here but yet I want the college experience and recreate myself. 

These decisions are all up to me, I just hope I make the right one.

Moving too fast, Thinking too slow

As my last semester of high school has begun I have so much to plan and organize. It's all going by too fast and I can't keep up with it all. I'm doing my best but sometimes that is not good enough. I realized I need to slow down and not worry so much about every little thing. My stress level has hit its max but I have brought myself back down and am controlling it better. 

Planning for graduation has not even started. I am throwing my reception with a good friend of mine and we haven't even planned a thing or taken our pictures together, but we both have so much going on.

I am trying to have more fun this year and I have to admit I am off to a great start. The beginning of the year kinda sucked but I worked my way through it and now everything seems like its in the right place. School still kicks my butt but at the end of the week I have my friends and boyfriend to keep me going. They are a blessing to me and I could not be happier with them. 

So as I try to keep myself on the right track, I need to keep reminding myself that I am not the only person with problems that needs someone to talk to. I feel like this year more people are coming to talk to me with their trust and confidence that I will help them as much as I can. I love the fact that people are comfortable talking to me about their problems, especially since I want to be a counselor. It's a big boost to my confidence. 

Don't let others change what you think of yourself.
