Change

     Today was my last day of middle school, and the reality of it hasn't quite hit me yet. I have to start over again, meet new people, and let go of old ones. For the past 3 years, I have had to say goodbye to so many people, and I honestly hate saying goodbye; because goodbye is such a harsh word. I just have to remember that in my life, people will come and go, but the ones that really matter will stay. Anyway, I've discovered that when a change/fact hits you at the beginning, it hits you hard. But when it hits you after a while, it doesn't feel as hard. It seems that when you gradually get used to the fact that a change is going to occur, then you get a longer time to think about it.

Make a Difference- Inspiration Daily

     Have you ever felt that no one considers, or thinks about you? I know I have, and it's tough. But what I've learned, is you need to make others feel worth it. Don't go to a party hoping that someone will say hi to you, compliment you, or even talk to you. Go to a party and do just that. Say hi to someone, compliment others, and let them know you care. Don't wish, just do. Not only will you make a difference in the lives of others, but you will make a difference in your own life. When I make others feel good, I feel good too. So remember this next time you want someone to say hi to you.

Inspiration Daily

     Why do I love life? Well, I honestly don't. Life is really hard. We go through challenges all the time. But why is this blog titled "I'm Living and Loving Life?" I will tell you why. Every morning I wake up, and I have to make a decision. I can either go through my day looking at everything positively or negatively. I'm telling you, that makes all the difference. I also lie to myself. No I'm serious. I tell myself that life is good when it's not. And then that lie becomes true. Alright, that sounds really cheesy. But it's seriously true. Tell yourself life is good and it is. I don't know if that's reverse-psychology or something, or maybe I'm just plain insane. Man, that rhymed. Now wipe away those tears, put a smile on your face, and make the decision.
