All you need, is what's right in front of you

     There are a lot of things that people want. A new tv, a person who understands where you come from, a perfect relationship/partner, or to make something go away. Everybody wants something. Once you want one thing, you are going to want another, and then another. It's a chain of effects. Take a moment and look at the things that you have right now, not the things that you want.

     If what you are looking at right now is a family member, thank God you have someone to go to when you need help. If what you are looking at right now is a friend, thank God you have someone to talk too. If what you are looking at is your boyfriend/girlfriend, thank God you have a partner in crime. And if what you are looking at is your child, thank God you have someone to love unconditionally.

     You don't need all of those things to have a perfect life. All you need is the things that are set in front of you. If you don't have family to fall back on, you have friends. If you don't have friends, then you have your boyfriend/girlfriend. If you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend, you have your child. If you don't have a child, you have God. If you have either of the things above, be thankful that you have them because some people don't. 

   

       Family is made up of people that you should be able to trust. I know all families aren't perfect, trust me. A lot of people have families that they can go to when they need help or they need someone to listen to them. I don't vent to my family. I vent to friends.

     

     Friends are people that are there for you no matter what. You may have a lot of "friends", but you know who the real ones are. You know who the ones are that you can tell anything to, or go hangout with, or do something for you when you need a favor. Friends are people that are like the family that you don't/wish you had. 

     Your boyfriend/girlfriend is the person that loves you for the person that you are. This person should be the person you can act yourself around. The person who loves your flaws. Who would forgive you for something you did, whether it be drastic or small. This person loves you because of they way you act around them, the way you talk to them, the way you look in their eyes. 

     Your child is the person you brought into this world. The person that you love with all of your heart and wish the best for. The person you would do anything to save. Your child is the one person that you need. You don't need anybody else when this child is around. Every time you look into your child's eyes, your world is made. Treasure the person that God gave you to look after.

     

Immaturity

     I don't know about you, but immature people really get to me. I swear, people in high school act as if they are still in middle school. Middle school drama is not okay when you are in high school, guys. People need to realize that some of the things that they do or say are not appropriate to do or say at all. If you don't know what is going on in the situation, do you think you have a place to say something? No, no you don't.
     I met my friend at the beginning of the school year this year, and we have gotten to be really close. She tells me everything that goes on behind the closed doors, and I listen. It really bugs me when someone who is older than both of us can act like a 5 year old. My friend went to court today because she has been absent from school so much. She has been gone from school because of her ex-boyfriend, he doesn't know how to move on and leave her alone, and because of her so-called "best friend" that is too shady and talks about her behind her back.
     Yesterday during class we were outside and all of a sudden here comes the ex-boyfriend. I thought to myself "uh-oh" as I saw him walking up, and me and my friend just looked at each other. We both knew that he was there on purpose, we both knew that he was there to get to her, and we both knew that he knew we had that class then. How immature can a person that is 2 years older than you be? Let me answer that for you. VERY IMMATURE. I never thought that I could meet someone so immature that is about to graduate from high school.
     If by any chance that the "best friend" or the "ex" is reading this, good. You both really need to know how bad you have ruined her sophomore year. Oh, and "best friend", if you think that I'm friends with you, you are sadly mistaken and so wrong. I am way better friends with her than you ever have been. Everything I see, I tell her. I'm not a shady "friend" that talks about her behind her back. I don't talk about her behind her back because I actually have her back.
     Immature people do not get far in life. All they will ever want to do is start or be in the drama. They have nothing better to do with their miserable lives than to make other peoples' lives miserable. Really? Grow up and find something productive to do with your worthless life.

31 Day Challenge- Day 21 The End.

     This 31 Day Challenge has been SO much harder than I thought. I didn't think that it would be so hard to keep up with. Apparently it is. I haven't been able to keep up with my blog like I have wanted to because I have so much stuff going on in my life right now.
     Trust me, I am NOT the type of person to just stop on something. I am not stopping my blog, just the 31 Day Challenge. I know I am just 10 days short, but I can't keep up with it anymore. I am now just going to blog whenever I feel like it and rant, vent, and just say whatever I want to say.
     So much has happened within the last few times of my last blog posts. My dad was deployed, the school year is coming to an end, I have made new friends, re-kindled some old ones, gone to prom, and now I am getting ready for graduation parties, and banquets! My life hasn't been the best that it could be the past few months, but I'm grateful that I have one.
     Yes, my family does irritate me sometimes, but that's why God gave us friends. Friends are people that you can go to when something doesn't go right. I have a great family, but to be honest, I can't stand them most of the time. I am so thankful for friends that I can go to for help, advice, and just for someone with a listening ear.

Thank you for everyone that has been there to listen to me when I needed someone. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here. I know what it feels like when you need someone to talk to, but it feels like nobody wants to listen. Trust me. <3

31 Day Challenge- Day 20 End of School

     I know that I haven't written on here in a LONG time. I'm hoping that I will get back into the groove of this and finish the 31 Day Challenge. Now that all of the TAKS tests are over, school is flying by. I am near the end of my Sophomore year of high school, and I can honestly say that I could not be happier. I get my license this summer, I am going to be one year closer to going to college, and I get my much needed 3 month break from school.
     So much has happened in the past month. Prom was last Saturday, and I can tell you that it was a BLAST. I met new people, danced, had some really awesome food, and had a great time at the after party! Next is our choir banquet, and after that is over, the school year will pretty much be over. I can't describe how excited I am for Summer 2011 to be here. I have friends going off to college, road-trips, vacations, and so much more that hasn't even been planned yet. Not to mention I need to get a job.
     This summer I really want to hang out with people that I haven't hung out with before, meet new people, and have the best summer that I have ever had. I want to make this summer a memorable one! As the school year comes to an end, I think that I only have 2 more years of high school then I get to branch off and go to college. When I was told "enjoy it, the time flies", I didn't care. I just wanted to get the hell out of school, and my house. Now that I look back, my Freshman year flew by, and now my Sophomore year has too. I have friends that can already drive, friends that have jobs, friends that are going off to college after summer! Where did the time go? Yeah, I can't wait for college to finally be on my own, but I don't want to have the rest of my high school years go by with in the blink of an eye.
     I can't believe that SO much has happened within the last couple years of high school. I became a published poet, met new friends that have become some of my best ones, gone on so many trips, and have done so much with friends. I am so grateful to have a great life. No one is perfect, but my life feels like it is right now, and that is VERY rare for me to say.

SUMMER 2011(:
