Born to Die

First off... IT'S SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSS!!!!! I have been so stressed all week so I honestly am so happy to just take a week off and relax. The weather has been great, and ugh I just can't wait!

So anyway.... lately, I have been thinking a lot about life. Just life in general. I guess I do that a lot anyway, but especially lately. One of the things I have been thinking about most is:

We are born to die.

Everybody on this earth was born, and everybody on this earth will die. There's no way around it, which is both absolutely extraordinary and terrifying at the same time. Everybody is made the same way, but everybody dies a different way and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. That leads to the pattern of life...

It is honestly one of the most amazing feelings being there so shortly after a baby is brought into the world. That baby just began living their life. They have no clue what anything even is; they don't know how to talk or how to comprehend words, they can't walk, they know nothing. The fact that they will learn so much in such a short amount of time is crazy. When they are young, all they are doing is learning. They learn not only academics, but life skills.

Then they turn into teenagers. They become rebellious, just trying to have fun. They are trying to find out who they are and who they want to be, and they have to go through high school. They live the oh-so enjoyable life as a teenager.

In just a few short years they will be all on their own. Living on their own and surviving. They will have a job, and eventually get married. They will have kids who will repeat all the same things they did. Then they will get old and die. That's just a fact.

And from there, the cycle will continue for what seems like forever.

On another note (well I guess it's still the same topic but whatevs..), here is a picture of my sister's new born baby :) His name is Theodore Ian Dalby (they liked old fashioned names...). They'll probably call him Theo or Ted or Teddy for short. He was born at 6:10pm on April 10, 2014 weighing 7lbs 1oz.

Let It Be

A while ago, a friend told me to listen to the song Follow Your Arrow by Kacey Musgraves. I immediately fell in love with it. This song is all about doing whatever the hell you want and being who you are! 

Then, a few weeks ago my good friends Sariah & Jaki wrote somehwhat similar posts, and since then those posts have been some of my favorites ever, so I will be kinda piggybacking on their posts because I loved them so much.

It's completely okay to not be okay.


Everyone's been there, and everyone has felt like crap at certain points in their life. It's okay to be scared to try new things, and it's okay to fearless. It's okay to have crazy hair days, and it's okay to get up a little earlier just to do your hair everyday. It's okay to wear a sweatshirt more than one day a week, and it's okay to get overdressed more than once a week. It's okay to listen to the same song over and over again, and it's okay to not like certain music. It's okay to dream about the impossible, and it's okay to be skeptical about certain things. It's okay to fall head over heels in love, and it's okay to not like anyone at all. It's okay to stay up until 4am, and it's okay to go to bed whenever you want. It's okay to be a flirt and it's okay to not be one. It's okay to miss someone, and it's okay not miss anyone. It's okay to have a broken family, and it's okay to have a picture perfect one.

It's okay.

IT'S PERFECTLY OKAY.

Everyone is different, and we all need to cherish that our individuality, even if somedays we cry ourself to sleep because of it. Ever since we were little kids, all we have ever been told is to always be ourselves. But then when we are ourselves, people don't like it. So what if you like being crazy and loud and weird? BE CRAZY AND LOUD AND WEIRD!!! Don't give a shit about what anybody thinks, because that is who you are and you should have fun living your life, especially your teenage years. Don't stop being you and doing what you want just because other people might think it's a weird thing to do. In fact, a lot of people admire those who aren't afraid to be themselves.

You should be out there living your life and doing what you feel like when you feel like it without having to have the voice of society in the back of your mind telling you not to because it's weird.

Ten years from now, you won't want to look back on your teenage years and say, "I wish I had done that." You are going to want to look back and be able to say, "Hell yeah I did that crazy shit."

Just let it be, and go with the flow. In the end you'll be glad you did.

The Worst Kind of Crazy

For my previous poll, I asked what you wanted me to post next, and you guys all said a DIY for your room. So while I am thinking about something you would all enjoy.... consider the following: I am fully aware that this post may not apply to all people.

Dictionary Definition:

boy |boi|

noun

a male child or young man

My Definition:

boy |boi|

noun

a creature that makes you mind go crazy and run in a variety of directions, leaving you speechless and unable to understand life.

Part of the unfortunate truth about being a teenager is that you are going to fall head over heals for someone, and they aren't going to feel the same way. 

And that is going to suck very badly. Why? Because you are crazy. The worst kind of crazy there is: boy crazy.
