Hello everyone and here we go again. I have been on a hiatus because shit happens in a person's life and my mind was clogged for a long while. So I drank some drain and now my mind is unclogged; for the moment. While on hiatus, I have been uploading information and really getting my thoughts together.
A lot happens in peoples everyday life and wouldn't it be nice if we knew what people were doing on the other side of the planet? There are almost 7 billion people in the world. In the United States, the average lifespan of a person is about 80 years. If we met a new person everyday for 80 years we would not nearly meet everyone in the world.
So here is my point; why is it that people like to stay in their bubble? Why can't we get out there and see what this world has to offer? I know life sucks and there is pain and suffering, but maybe we just need to get out of our comfort zone. There are many places and many people out there for us to waste our time stuck in one place. Lets do what we have to do to be good.
Now some may say this is running away from your problems, but this is not about running away, It's about wanting more than this life has to offer. It's about being eager to learn and being hungry for knowledge. It's about not settling for less, but settling for more. Why must we be ok with what we have now when we can have so much more. Times are tough now and there is no money for people to be out there exploring life because hey! lets be realistic everything is about money. Money talks and bullshit walks.
People! we have minds and we have hope. No matter how down in our luck we are, there is always
hope for something better. as long as we want more and have hope for something more then that hope will eventually drive people to get to the point of their desires.
From now on let us take this into consideration and try to want something more...

The Wanabes
Ok, so we all have those days when we look back at our school years and say "What the hell was I thinking wearing those clothes or that hairstyle?" Well, let me tell you that we were all following a trend. Yup, Bell bottoms used to be kool, and Aquanet used to puff up girls hairs. Who remembers those god awful Soda shoes? The ones the spice girls used to wear... Ahhh memories. We may have been so dumb to wear and do such things, but it was fun and kool in the time being.
Well, we are all human beings trying to fit in the social scene. Yes even you gothic people! we all try to fit in some sort of a social scene. So here is my problem with that. A lot of us go out of our way to fit in a "scene"just because we want to fit in so badly. Many strive to be popular and liked by many, but is that really who we are? A lot of people end up changing their attitude, their personality, and everything about them just to "fit it." Why? Why do people have to change their hair, their clothes, their true way of thinking, and basically who they really are just to fit in a social scene? Who knows. Maybe, many do it because what they really want is to fit in someway and somehow. Maybe, some do it because they want to be liked by others and have many friends. Hey! some do it because that is the trend at the moment. I mean who wants to be the odd one out, or the loser, or the one who just doesn't fit in. Uh... Not me!
Therefore, following the trend is important because nobody wants to feel left out or be known as the loser. Like I asked before Do we have to change who we really are for a trend? Where do we cross the line? So here is my theory; Don't change who you really are!!! Nobody should be judge for liking a certain type of music, or liking certain types of clothes, or for thinking a certain way. A problem with these trends is that we are constricted to like certain things.
I think people should do what they want, like what they want, and think whatever they want all as long is not hurting other people or themselves. People should be free to be whatever they want to be. It's nice to follow a trend, but people please dance to the beat of your own drum. Be you and that's it!
Remember to be a leader not a follower.
Hey kids, we might be the one's to change the world.

Confused and Not Amused
So I wrote one blog and then I have not written ever since. I love writing, but it has to feel right. I do not want people to read crappy stuff so I rather write when it's the right time. It has been a couple of rough weeks: Drama, problems, headaches, and many more. Im sure everyone goes through tough times, but that is not the reason why Im writing. I have been meaning to write about life, or at least how I see it. You will be interested to know that I make sense in some weird kind of way.
LIFE, what is it? What does it mean? Why are we breathing? Let me tell you this, WHO THE HELL KNOWS!!! This year has been a challenging year for me, but also a very eye-opening, revealing year. My very dear grandmother died, I graduated from college, my parents separated, and just recently my pet tortoise Fred died(I cried soooo much! I loved my Fred). I have been looking back at my year and I realize I am only 23 years old, a college graduate and I cannot get a damn break! I ask myself, "people please, what more do you want from me? I am a nice educated girl." One of the hardest things I am facing is not being able to find a decent job that pays me well enough for all the hard work I did in college. This is when I start wondering why did I even go to school for? I know people that go to a whatever kind of trade school and they are making way more than I am! What the hell is wrong with this picture?
So therefore, I am stuck now in between what is life and how life should be. I can honestly say that I am totally clueless. I have no idea what I want to do with my life and what I should do, Im confused, but you know what? It is OK.
I was having coffee with a friend and this conversation came up. She told me she did not know what to do with her life and she did not know where her life was going. (OK, SO I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN PRETTY BORING UP UNTIL NOW, BUT YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO READ THE FOLLOWING) I told her, you are only 21 years old. what can you possibly know about life and what you want to do if you are barely starting to live? It all came to me. So people think about it, since the time we enter kindergarten up until our senior year of high school, we are brought up to decide what kind of career we want for the rest of our lives.
By Junior year in High School, we have to already know what we are going to do for the rest of our lives. Why does this seem wrong? In our Junior year in high School we are about 15-16 years old. What is a 15 or 16 year old going to know about life and what they should do the rest of their lives? The maturity level has not hit yet and to have the pressure of deciding the rest of your life is really not a good idea at 16. Therefore, since we are trained to decide what to do, we know what to do at 16 years old. At least we think we know. So you apply to colleges and then you go, but as you are there you start to wonder what is it that you really want to do? College is no joke and since it's tough people start to second guess their first decision. This is why the drop out rate of freshman in colleges is so high.
Can you really blame these kids who are 17 or 18 years old and they get scared because they do not know what to do? Hello!!!! they are kids! I do not think a person knows what to do with their life until at least 25 years old. For example, I was 17 years old when i began college. I was a kid in the real scary world of College and no parents. Yet, at 17 I was working towards the rest of my life. I graduated college because it was expected of me. I think I did it more for others than for myself. I do not regret graduating college because it felt damn good!
So going back to my friend, she is 21 and she is deathly scared because she says she should have already known what to do with her life. She is young and has not gotten much experience of life to know exactly what to do. Society as a whole expects us to know what to do with our lives at the age of 17. Cmon? Really? No! it should not be like this. If people know what to do at the age of 17, then hooray for them! but for those who do not know and you are only 20 or 21 years old, then it is not a big deal. Make sure you know exactly what you are going to do the rest of your life before you choose the wrong path.
Remember that everyday is a new day and everyday we learn how to breathe.
Sorry... I warned everyone in my first intro blog that I tend to go on and on.
