#71. The Comeback

Ok it's been forever since I wrote. Even more forever than last time. I'm not sure I remember how to do this anymore so I'm gonna be all over the place. I promised a friend I'd do this though so here we go. From the last time I blogged until now it's been pretty hectic. I've been pretty busy since baseball season started since I don't get home until 6:30 and I definitely don't start my homework until 9. Gettin into some prettttttty bad habits. I just ate 30 cuties. I'm pretty sure I'm melting from the outside in. I noticed that I open fruits in weird ways. I'll try to open a cutie in one piece. I open bananas the way monkeys do, from the back. Wow I hope this isn't boring for you haha I feel like it would be.

Ok also something I've been wanting to talk about since I heard about it is Challenge Day at our school. So I was a fool and didn't sign up for it but I heard it was amazing. Basically the gist (did I spell that right?) is you get together with everyone else who signed up or who was picked and basically you tell each other your hardships and cry together and love each other and feel good and stuff. And it's one of those things where afterwards you feel all lovey dovey and you love everyone and you wanna be an amazing peron. But the thing that I wonder is why we can't be like that all of the time? And a while after the effects definitely wear off. Basically though, why does it take an organized event for people to realize that they care about each other and love each other? As well as that other people are amazing too? We should look for these things in other people every day and devote ourselves to being loving people. It's like that BEP song. Where's the love? I dunnooo. So catchy.

Another thing. Been frustrated kinda lately about some decisions. And basically I learned something. A wise friend told me that I can't always make my decisions based on what makes other people happy, and that sometimes I have to decide on what makes me happy. Now that I think about it, I've always strived to try to make others happy, sometimes at my own expense. But that's living for others, and not myself, and sometimes I'd be the one coming away feeling unsatisfied. I'm going to be more conscious in the future to not only make others happy but myself as well. Not in a selfish way, but you can only share happiness with other people when you yourself are happy, when you have happiness to share. Ok that is all, but here's a quote that has become one of my favorites.

"You can turn the sun off, but I'm stil gonna shine"
