True Stuff

Religion

I was browsing videos on Youtube this morning when one really caught my attention. It got me thinking about Religion and how a lot of what the guy says is true.
Check it out, see what you think.

I have always asked myself the same exact question. If Religion is so great why has it started so many wars? It doesn't make any sense to me. Then again maybe it's not the religion itself but the stupidity of the people in it. Jesus would want love and acceptance among us not bloodshed and monstrosity. It doesn't matter what Religion you are, we're all connected and not meant to kill or discriminate one another. There's so much evil in this world. Whether someone has a Religion or not, evil still continues to spread and manifest. Are we people or monsters?
Sometimes I don't know anymore. If you really think about it and take a look at what goes on in the world around you, it's scary, you can't deny that.

Acceptance

Why Do I Blog?

I sometimes wonder what is it about blogging that keeps me coming back?
I guess its because it seems to put you back in touch with that inner voice, the one that is the real YOU. In times where I feel like I am losing myself, I'd just type for a while and I'd find myself all over again.

I love having a place where I can express myself.

Best Advice

The best advice anyone has ever given me.

You need a motto girl. Tell yourself "it's better to try and fail then to never try at all" say it over and over and believe it!!! The world will open up to you my dear in ways that you don't even think they can!

It's exactly what has been lacking in my life, motivation and inspiration.

Things To Be Thankful For

I recently read a topic like this and thought it was a great idea and subject to think about.

Many of us struggle with problems in our day to day lives... everything from medical problems to money problems to relationships.

Being thankful for the good things that happen to us everyday is not only a good practice of our perspective religious faiths, but also a good practice for altering our outlook on life, finding happiness and peace in ourselves, and brightening our mood each day.

The idea is that you take a look at your life and those things in it that you are truly thankful for. If you went 2 days without hot water and realize what a blessing having hot water can be... list it. If you had a chance to see your mom and realize how much she has done for you list it. It can be anything from the obvious to the random to the personal.

There is so much I am thankful for. I will try to think of at least 2 each week no matter how small because its often the little things that count, and many people take for granted or fail to notice.

I am thankful for my family more than anything else.
My mom has always been by my side, I love her dearly with all my heart.
My step-dad took me in as his own since I was 5.
My sister makes me laugh and brightens my day.
My grandma is always there to talk to and help my mom and I.
My cat and dog. (They are seriously the cutest and funniest little creatures).

My family is very special to me and truly amazing in so many ways.

Some others I am thankful for are:

Each day that I wake up and am able to take a breathe and look at the world around me.
People who support me and accept me the way I am.

Happy 2012!

With my luck celebrating New Years wasn't the greatest. I had such a bad headache and so much pressure in my head, it was unbearable. I had to stay in bed all day. My parents had the same close family friends over like the past last few years, who are really great people. It was a bit disappointing that I couldn't really join and stayed in my room the whole time, but I tried looking on the bright side. I still ate a lot of good food, watched some New Years Eve celebration countdowns on TV, and opened some presents, all in the comfort of my own bed. I still have some pain today but at least its not as bad.

Happy New Year Everyone. May it be one with limited worry and fears, joy and love, and anything else that fills your heart's deepest desires. <3
