A note I wrote on Facebook: might as well put it on blogger too, maybe to help anyone or something that makes the world a little easier to live in...

I wrote this because a very close friend of mine is going through a hard time, and a while ago, I was too. We've all been there, so this is just a quick note because I don't know how else to say it. I'll probably be talked about and judged, but I just don't know anymore... So please just read.
***
Okay I realize that what I'm referring to is not my fight and I have no right to get involved. Knowing some people though, they're going to say things about me for saying so but you know what- I don't care.This isn't just about this one situation- it's about everything I've dealt with and will deal with in the future as well.
I stand back and watch a lot of crap go down, and I get that being a teenager can be hard because you have other people to put up with and we all get into situations we never thought we would be in, and don't want to be in them in the first place. But anyone reading this, it makes me sad that you mock someone who deserves to be treated fairly. I know you didn't mean to be offensive or mean or rude, but it's offensive to my best friend and if she asks you to stop, you should. No one deserves to feel horrible or angry, and it makes me sad to think we treat it with "sarcasm"- which in a situation like this just cruelty.This applies in all situations: No one deserves to feel anger or hate or whatever, only happiness and acceptance.
For once, just listen. Life feels better when everything goes positively, not negatively. I might be judged for this, but I don't care. I'm standing up for something and someone I believe in.I'm tired of drama- people talking about people, doing something you might regret later on, or changing into something you're not. Just think for once what it would be like to not have to deal with all that negative energy. It might be on accident or on purpose but either way, and I know I'm pulling an old, cheesy card if you will here, but wouldn't you wanted to be treated kindly too?
It just makes me sad, and I wish it would stop.
I'll just say this again: I don't care what anyone thinks about me writing this. You might think I'm weird, or think I'm talking about someone- maybe you who's reading this. But I'm not. I'm tired of being angry, and sad, and full of border line hate. I don't want anyone to think I'm accusing anyone or judging anyone. It just makes me sad to know that things could be better, and we're not trying to fix them.
I'm not sure how to end this, so I'll just leave it here.

"Friends are on my mind. And in attempts to not make this too personal, I will say this... I wish I had more friends. More friends like Katie. Kids are soo square so typical and boring and cookie cutter I mean it's quite a strange concept- "different" because humans are so predictable... But to not be cookie cutter is what's best. Cookie cutter is hard to describe/define, but I guess I hate so many people around me because I'm a hater, but mostly because they are so immature when it comes down to it and completely lacking in humor and intellect."
-Haley. My best friend everyone

I'm with you all the way on this way. Yes I'm flattered, but beside the fact of the comparison, I know exactly how you feel. In fact- this paragraph kind of summed up my whole situation about this particular topic.
Life's difficult when you don't feel like being around all the people you're suppose to "love". I have five friends I always want to hang out with- only two of them live here, and one is going to camp all summer. It's hard, being around people you thought were your friends when really they've just become cliche monsters. I wish I had more friends too- I wish I had my friends from middle school back, but you can't change the mere fact that I'm in high school- shit happens, people change, and somehow- you go from a group of 17 to a group of 2-4.
...I miss my old crowd.

Nature- Beautiful and Frightening haha :)

Bee hunting- thought I would finish this post off with a bit of a laugh. Glad to say that Haley and I survived the attack of the giant bee. I guess you could say it won a few rounds by chasing us into the bathroom, but in the end we swatted it down and released it into the wild. We are the experts at bee hunting!! ♥

Today was pretty amazing I thought :) Took lots of pictures, ate Americone Dream ice cream on a bench, watch my sofa get lifted out a window, hunted bees, made a coloring page (of a Diana that looks really good, I wish I could show it to you all!), and got a lot of good music!! Props to Haley for her amazing photography once again and being the friend who I do the craziest shit/ most creative, fun things, with. :)

Greece in 3 days! Kind of freaking out because I'm so excited but I'm kind of afriad of the plane ride. I don't know why but I want to say it's because we're going to be over the ocean for so long. Then there's things like terrorists, malfunction, etc. etc. sigh. Ah crap and I still have to pack -_- I wish I could stick around and chat, continue with all the idea crammed into my little head right now, but I have stuff I need to do.
Well I do my things and you to yours.

Summer Dreams

Glee Cast - I Feel Pretty / Unpretty (Glee Cast Version)


Just clicked on this accidentally while listening to Somehwere Only We Know and I find it to be pretty powerful. I also never knew there was another version of I Feel Pretty. Anyway- doing nothing today. Tired from my softball double header last night, got home a midnight and couldn't go to sleep until one because my step-sister had a birthday party that was mostly all her friends screaming and doing God knwos what down there. I still have a headache, really hope I'm not getting sick. Might take a shower and take pics, walk to the river, hang out with Haley, I don't know. UGH my inspiration levels (if that's even a valid title for my creativity) is jumping around in my brain but I don't even know if I want to do it right now, it's just... BLEH.
I'll write.
IDK.
Bored as hell, but you know? I don't mind much, why? It's summer and I have three months to do all of this :) Still though, I'll get that done soon.
Also fed up with people thinking everyone's against them when they're the one's antagonizing me and my friends. "Karma's only a bitch if you are." Seriously though- quit thinking you're so B.A and then thinking you're so vulnerable and shit. I'm done with your bombast, your prattle, your rubbish. In other words: YOUR bull shit. Sigh. This song is really ironic now that I think about it....


I'll do a list and the rest of my photos later- I've decided this much.

Adele - Someone Like You (Live in Her Home)


Less than three love this song

Bluebird


Just stumbled upon this song. Is it weird to say I'm kind of teary for no apparent reason?...
