Hard life.

Well who said it was going to be easy? I'm figuring out everyone has got something going on. Whether it is small or big. Doesn't matter, it is the fact that they need help. They need to know at least one person cares. Yes it may be that they want attention...but isn't that the point? We all crave for attention, it's what we live for. Feeling alone sucks. Feeling like no one cares about you is even worse. Everyone has felt that way. Life may get to the point of suicide, and that's scary. The mind is strong and one wrong move...it's all over.
Maybe if we all start listening, things will change. Just give a hug to a random stranger, who knows, it might just save their life.

One question.

What are you Thankful for?

Me? What am I not thankful for? Words cannot explain how thankful I am for everything I have. I never really show it, nor do I really say it.... as much as I should say it. I guess thats a good thing we have Thanksgiving. It's a good day to show how thankful you are. If you said it every other day of the year, it would just be too 'comfortable'. Thanksgiving makes it unusual and meaningful.

Never really thought about that one. That makes me feel better for all the times my friends and family never thanked me for anything....at least on this day you hear it all day.
Emma Mae. Family. Friends. God. Shelter. Hubby. Food. Freedom. America. Patience. Caring.
Be thankful for everything, your talents, your surroundings, even your personality!
Happy (late) thanksgiving everyone!

Changes.

Everything's changing. The world, the weather, friends and family, and just basically every aspect of life. I don't think I like it either. I hate change. So so much, I just don't handle it well. It's hard looking back at the past, and then looking at where I am now. You know whats even harder? Looking ten, fifteen, twenty years from now.
Scary. Where will I be? What will I be doing? Will I be a successful person? Will I even be alive? Time is not our friend. Got to stick that into our minds. Just have to. I guess changes will occur for the rest of my life, I'll just have to deal with it. Just hope it's for the better.
Advice, be careful with your life, remember who you used to be awhile back? Young, careful, guys had cooties, drinking and smoking were not even a choice. Wait....we grew up, that's right. Sad story, growing up.

Lately.

I have been feeling a bit down. No I do not hate my life nor am I upset about it, I am just tired and annoyed with the same old same old. I am ready for adventure. I know with Emma that seems a little impossible, but what's my reason for that? Why would it be impossible? Because I'm lazy. That's just it. Of course I couldn't do anything crazy, but I need to step out of my little box. Live life...with Emma. Staying home all day is making me depressed. I miss being outgoing and a social hog. I'm ready to step out...
Am I wrong for saying this? I just miss being me. I feel like everyone dislikes me for having a baby. So what, mistakes happen. Everyone says who cares what others think, that's just a saying though, no one really goes for that. At least everyone I know doesn't. It's so hard to not to care what others think. So hard....maybe that's why I have been hiding in my little box...
When in doubt chicken out. True that. 

Late photos.

 Cross Country meet, Halloween, Nineteenth Birthday

Sorry I put up too many photos, but in my opinion, photos make anything with words even better. It can show alot more than words can too, the smiles especially. I am finally getting into the habit of taking memories, precious kodak moments that I will never get back. Good thing my dad got me a camera. A good one in fact. Thanks Dad!

Emma Mae, the cutest thing ever!

Shout Out.

To Stephen Cook. For winning fifth in his region meet! Meaning he gets to go to state all by himself to represent!

I honesty admit I do miss high school. Don't get me wrong, I didn't like it, but it was fun while it lasted. The drama, worrying about what to wear, the reputation, popularity, the clicks all sucked. You need to take out the bad though and see the good. The pep rallies, making friends, football games, prom, homecoming, the dances, powderpuff. Those are the things I miss. Adults always say "real life" sucks. It does. For the most part anyway. Working instead of going to school to fool around isn't any better. Maybe just maybe people need to realize they take things for granted way too much. School is a break. A time to find out who you really are. Who your friends are. And what your future will be. I guess we just don't think of these things till its too late. Till we're working everyday and too tired all the time or retired and looking back at everything. I wish I would have realized this, because right now, I am just as lost as someone just entering their freshman year.

Just a word of advice. Listen.
