Week 4: If Only…

If only I didn’t have friends, family, a cell phone, a computer, or dance. If I didn’t have my friends I would always be bored, home alone on the weekends, and I would have no one to talk to. My friends truly mean about to me and I am very thankful for having them. I didn’t have my family I would be lost. My family means so much to me, and I probably don’t tell them enough how much I love them, and how thankful I am for having them. My family is always there for me I know, just like my friends are. No matter how crazy they are or even if they tend to embarrass me, you can’t choose your family, but if I could I would have definitely chose them. If I didn’t have a cell phone I would probably get my homework done right when I get home from school, I would probably pass all of my test and quizzes at school, because I would always study because I would have nothing better to do when I get home or when I’m lying in bed at night. If I didn’t have a computer I would no doubt do better in school, I’d probably spend more time with my family, or maybe even reading a book. I probably wouldn’t get as many headaches, because they light from the screen hurts my eyes. If I didn’t have dance I’d probably go crazy. Dance is what helps me stay together, it allows me to release stress from school, and home life. Dance also helps me from getting fat, because if you’re fat it’d be a little hard to dance. I’m very thankful to have dance in my life, along with everything else. 

Week 5: You Can Quote Me!

Quotes often help explain how you feel or how you've felt in just a few words. The quote “Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” explains in my life a few things. I've lost a few best friends over the year, I guess because we were too different, but since I've lost their friendship I've became friends with other girls. Losing my friendship with them gave me the opportunity to become friends with other people and that made me realize that I've become a lot happier.

 The quote “It’s better to be alone than to be in bad company.” explains that it’s better to surround yourself with people that respect you, their selves, and others. I've hung around people that aren’t good influences, I’m sure everyone has. But I realized that they weren't good for me to hang around and that they could possibly get me in trouble. I hope everyone that hangs around people that aren’t good influences realized that they could do better than the people they are with; also I would hope they wouldn't fall into peer pressure.

“The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.” This quote explains one thing in my life. I had a boyfriend that I was on and off with for about a year. I’m not going to say I loved him, because I believe I am too young to love, but I did have really strong feelings for him. He knew how much I liked him and he continued to play with my feelings. I do admit that how much pain I went through was just as much my fault and it was his, because I allowed him to treat my so horribly. I just think that no matter how much you like somebody it is not worth going through so much trouble and pain to be with them when they are showing no effort. 

Two original quotes from me:

"Sometimes it's better to focus on your own happiness than others."

"You must be patient and wait for good things to come in life."
