Surprises

Well, if it isn't a unicorn or a pikachu or a shoe, what else could it possibly be?

Surprises, we have a lot of those in life. Some people like surprises, some don't. Some like me are impatient when we find out someone has a surprise for us and we begin to freak out.

In life, we may or may not know when a surprise is coming out way. Some surprises are good, some aren't.

Good surprises are always nice, and wether its people or life throwing them at us, we normally like the good ones more than the bad ones.

Life will spring surprises on us, ready or not. It's how we handle them, how we learn from them or grow from them that helps us grow as people.

You just can't not accept a surprise, because when they hit you, you will never have expected it.

Watch out for surprises, you never know what could happen!

Sleep and Dreams

Sleep, something we all need.

And if you are anything like me, a normal teenager, you stay up late and push yourself until you practically fall asleep in whatever class you are in the next morning because school forces you to wake up so early. Unless its on the weekend, then you sleep until noon.

But one thing that's nice about sleeping, is the crazy dreams you can have.

I find the ones in class are usually very entertaining, mostly because they either have something to do with whatever class I'm in, or they are the complete opposite of the class I'm in.

Or the ones with your friends where you go on crazy adventures. But the crazy, random insane ones are he best, normally because you wake up thinking, "why did I dream about that?!?"

Dreams are fun :)

Some people, like me, think dreams have a message. I love thinking about how some of my dreams come true. And when they do, you get that add sense of remembrance that kinds freaks you out.

Then you get dreams you don't remember. Those suck especially when you know there was something you wanted to remember, then you spend the whole day trying to remember.

Anyways, enough of my ranting xD

So remember your dreams, you never know what could happen.

Am I different?

I feel different than other teenage girl bloggers. One reason, I don't blog a thousand times a day. Two, I don't blog about Justin Bieber or whatever else girls talk about. Third, I don't talk much about my personal life.

I feel like one of those articles in a self help magazine. Not that I would know what those sound like, since I don't read them.

Is that considered a good or a bad thing?

Just wondering :)

Doesn't matter either or, I like being different! Makes life a lot more fun, or at least in my opinion.

Be different!, You never know what could happen ;)

Music

Music, how do you possiblely describe it when it means something different for every person?

Music, such a big part of peoples' lives.

If you play it, sing it, or just listen to it, everyone knows music.

How many different types of Music is there? That's the nice thing about music, it's different for everyone! Every artist has a different style than every other, different songs and a different voice.

For me, music has always been a huge part of my life. Playing flute for over 5 years now, it's a way to calm me down and make me feel peaceful. Come on, how can you be mad while playing a flute?

Then there's guitar, which I'm still, slowly, learning. I love it, being lost in my own little world as I play. Best feeling ever.

Then there's all the music I listen to. Hard rock when I'm mad at the world. Soft love songs when I'm sad. All depends on my mood and allows me to find a deeper part of myself.

Music does so much for us, and for some people, like me, it's a big part of our lives. What could we possibly do without it?

I couldn't survive without my music, I think I would go insane. A huge piece of me would be missing without it, music is my passion.

Find yourself in your music, you never know what could happen :)

Loves,

The Little Things In Life

I'm back :)

Yeah, I know it's been months since I've posted. Well, that's life, get over it.

Anyways,

I love the rain, just saying. Especially when it hasn't rained for months. :)

This post is about, the little things in life, the amazing things that we sometimes overlook, like rain.

Most people don't like the rain. The most annoying thing I hear is girls saying it messes up their hair. Truthfully, it doesn't matter if it ruins you hair or not, your hair doesn't matter THAT much.

I'm the kind of girl who runs out and dances in the rain. The rain is beautiful and magic, it isn't just a pain when you take a second to enjoy it.

Another beautiful thing life has to offer, is a rainbow. After the rain stops and the clouds disappear, a colorful rainbow appears. One of natures most beautiful sights.

The moon. Have you ever seen a full moon? Amazing, so bright and big. I could stare at the full moon for hours, and count the stars :)

So I think I'm sounding like a nature freak, but some people don't know what they are missing out on.

So besides nature, there are a billion other things most people overlook, little things that make life so much better.

Finding those things, is a gift. Keep your eyes open for them, don't walk by and let them pass you by.

Love the little things in life, you never know what could happen...

Everyone Has A Story

“Everyone Has a Story”

Yesterday was life changing. I did this program at my school called “Breaking down the Walls”. It was so powerful, depressing, inspirational, and supportive that I even started crying. (You could say I am an emotional person, but never at school)

I learned so much about the people I go to school with, not knowing what challenges they face every day. I found out that so many people put on an act, acting like their lives are perfect, but they really aren’t. I even do it sometimes. I found out that friends I thought I knew were dealing with problems that I would have never guessed they were dealing with.

I found out that I’m not alone in the problems I deal with, there are others all around me that are going through the same exact thing I’m going through. Let’s just say, I wasn’t the only one who cried. We all really got a deeper respect for everyone, and we all understand each other so much better.

So the point of this blog entry? Well that you should all know, everyone has a story. Everyone has a challenge that they have to deal with.

It could be a death of a parent, sibling, family member or a close friend. It could be dealing with an eating disorder, cutting or thoughts of suicide. Or even with financial troubles and a risk of losing their home and become homeless. Teens have to deal with so much, and not to mention going to school and being judged by their classmates.

One of the most powerful moments throughout the whole day was when they had everyone step forward that had once in their life not be able to afford new clothes, and they had to wear the same thing over and over again. Then they had everyone raise their hands if they had ever judged someone by what they wore. It surprised me, not even realizing that some people don’t have a choice in what they wear and yet we judge them anyways. Of course I knew that, but sometimes we forget things like this.

We judge people without even thinking about it. But we really should be looking at the person for who they are. But judging people is what we do naturally; we don’t even have to intend to be mean. It’s just something that we need to break ourselves out of.

I know now I will never judge anyone again, at least not without knowing their story. I hope you all can do the same, not matter how hard of a challenge it is. I know we can do it.

I believe that everyone should go throught his program. As I said before, it was life changing. I also made a ton of friends that are going through some of the same challenges I am. Finding others like me makes me feel not so along. It makes it so much easier to talk, and everyone there, even if you I didnt' like them before, was so understanding and trustworthy.

One last thing,

Even if you don’t know someone’s story, there are so many ways you could help them. Just having someone trustworthy to listen to when you need someone to talk to, or having someone who has been though what you’re going through.

And if you can’t do that, how about just showing people respect? We all deserve respect. How about just smiling or saying hi when you walk past someone in the halls? Or opening the door for someone? A random act of kindness could greatly affect one’s day.

So remember that ‘Everyone has a Story’, you never know what could happen…

Peace out,

Rea

Regrets

“Never regret something that once made you smile”

This is one of my favorite quotes. What does this quote mean to you?

To me, this quote means that even if something hurts you, if it once made you happy, wasn’t it worth it? Yes, it hurts once its over, but that’s what you learn from. Everyone regret something in their life, sometimes for the rest of their lives. Regret is just a part of life. But it’s the things that once made us smile that we shouldn’t regret.

One way to look at it, relationships:

If you go out with someone, say for 3 months or even a year, and they really hurt you, well you’re going to cry and be sad for a while. But just think about the time you spent with that person, all the precious memories that you will carry with you for the rest of your life. Would you really choose to forget all of that just to get over your heartbreak? That’s what called learning and moving on.

Something I regret?

Once huge thing I regret, not staying friends with my best friend from my childhood. I swear, we probably hate each other now. But back when we were kids, we were so close. We would always say that we would be friends forever. But we grew up, she got an attitude, and we just grew apart. Yes, I’m sad about it, but I don’t ever regret our friendship, not for a second.

Otherwise:

Well, I don’t really know what else to say on the subject, so I’ll just say.

Enjoy what you have now, you never know what could happen…
