12/17/13

Today was a horrible day in the life. But guess what? Someone once said, "it's just a bad day, not a bad life". Too true, and I'm so grateful for the advice because it's motivation to keep going. Yeah, I only went to 2 class periods today. Yeah, I cried when I got home. Yeah, I still feel like crap. But tomorrow will be better. It always gets better. I'm living proof that it does get better. Grades aren't everything. High school drama ends. College applications don't define your life. I'm not perfect. No one is, so all we can do is our best. If my B+ in painting is the best I could do, it's the best I could do. End of story. No one can expect more than your best. And remember, even when it seems like you're alone, there's always someone standing right next to you feeling the exact same way. Don't give up.

Battle Scars...

This is my leg. Forever scarred. Forever ugly. This is the perfect reminder to me every single day that I should treat myself with respect. "Fat" is what I used to see in the mirror. Now I still see it, but it's not me, it's the scars that are on me. This is my leg. Don't let it be yours.

Just Listen.

Have you ever had a week where you just want to give up? Everything just feels too hard? Well. Yeah, this week has been one of those. Sure, our football team killed it, danced hard, and got an actual nap, but no one knows what's in my mind. Sometimes I look like I'm having an awesome time. I might be smiling til I get wrinkles, and laughing like an idiot, but I might be wanting to cry on the inside. School is frightening right now! I'm stressed to the limits with homework and people. This week one if the most frustrating things since treatment happened. A great super smart lady came to our school and gave a fantastic assembly. In this outstanding assembly, she decided to talk about teenagers and their brains. I was expecting this nice little speech of being happy and being kind to others, but no. She talked for over an hour about what we do wrong that make us emotional. Is he also threw in a little side note of "sugar is soo bad for you". Well thanks. That is the best thing you could say right now. Kay. Yeah sugar isn't the best for you, but you can still eat it! Holy frick. I know she was trying to help, but... She didn't. On the bright side, yesterday my friend and I got to stab a pumpkin repeatedly to get our anger out. That was legit. Anyway... After my venting sesh to all of you, life goes on. I made it through this week. I just take it one minute at a time. As Bob Wiley would say, "baby steps"... Stay strong(:
