"Go with the flow", "Want to be popular? Follow what we do" and "I want to be just like him/her". Almost everyone wants to be like someone they idolize or admire and sometimes to please other or not to be left behind. The question is why should we?
I mean I'm not denying the fact certain days I also wonder what it would be like to be someone else or look like just her. I'm a plain Jane but after manys years of discovering my identity, I know the person I want to be is myself. I'm not perfect in fact I'm no where near perfection but i like being me.
Everyone has set a certain standards for themselves in so many aspects like friends, lovers, bestfriends or even teachers. However how many of us have realized that by doing this we are being judgemental and is it actually our place to do that. i don't deny I've done that even today i still do but i'm always trying harder to improve this bad habit of mine.
If I really want to be honest, I like being crazy, goofy, loud and nutty wherever I am and trust me if you don't believe me ask my friends. I'm hard to keep up with especially when I'm around people I'm comfortable with. My younger girlfriends come up to me saying you're so hype and you're fun and some say i wish i could be like you.
Well to those girls, don't be instead try finding you're crazy self stop being someone just be yourself and believe in you and nobody else cause if i can; you can too. Just a day ago i told my friend to not fit in but be herself. stick out like a sore thumb if thats you cause being and individual is what makes us all special and it keeps the world as interesting as it can always get.
So shine like the bright star you are and love yourself because nobody can love you as much as you can love yourself. We all have flaws but if we believe in ourself we can make them beautiful.

Is It For Power Or The Community?
Its the end of the year 2008 and every single of us look forward to it. I'm in a youth group and every year we go carolling from house to house. However this year things have changed. Every year all the youths from my church community gather together to go carolling but this year it seems we aren't allowed to do that. A general example, if an individual is from the servers they are not allowed to join the youths for carolling. Hmmm.. weird huh, I always thought all this we were doing was meant for God and to make sure youths were to become strong pillars of the church. Though that was my assumption it looks like I'm wrong.
The objectives of these activities seem to be a way to gain popularity in church or so I feel. My question is does the more popular group under the church gain popularity from God or is it more for the sake of show and tell to the world; if so people would recognize those whom do more for the church and here I thought that being humble was what the church preached and we practiced.
Honestly what do either parties gain from this power struggle on going in my parish. All i know that eventhough we teens are considered childlish and immature watching these adults struggle for power is even worse. These people are suppose to be our role modals to us the future leaders and my oh my, what great examples are they.
Please remember thisisn't to point at anyone, I'm only blogging my thoughts. However seriously these actions need to seriously be taken into consideration because it doesn't only effects the community within the parish it also affects outsiders. So always remember that at the end of the day whatever that is done is for God and not us.

When You're With Someone
Everyone's with someone. Some working out good some not so good. What's the story?
The people I know suffer in pain because of relationships are at a point of impasse. Is it really that hard to give that preson you love a clean break. He says he loves her and he wants her to be happy; she says she loves him and wants the same for him too but when either one moves, the other party isn't happy. Then there's are those who break up and a few weeks later they kiss and make up but then days later they break up again and weeks come they make up and so the cycle continues..
That someone is to make you happy but instead pain is all you feel; of course happy times are there but is it really as true as all happily afters we've read in books. my friends struggle day by day with relationship from ex's to present boyfriends. Some of them deserve what they've got but some don't.well all i'm trying to say if you really love her/him, stop telling them you can make a decision. You need to for both of you to be happyand though its hard and a impasse seems easier that person's hurting themselves and that loved one. so make up your mind and state your answer eventhough your gonna lose that loved one it may be only a while. who knowsif you are destined that loved one will return and believeme when i say loving him/her for a while is better than forever.
