Making something out of nothing

Good and bad.

2011

Happy New Year to everyone!

2010 was one hell of a year, and so I must say thanks for all the memories 2010. Had it's ups and downs just like every other year, but many memorable moments. New friends made, some friends lost. 2nd year of college = tough but nothing's impossible. Next quarter will be hard but we'll all get through it.

Hope that 2011 will be an even better year filled with many more memorable moments <3

Never Say U Can't

"So when last rain begins to fall
And you’re out there on your own
And you can’t see a thing
No no no

Just find a voice that understands"

Great song from Bruno Mars. Lyrics definitely speak out. We must not say we cannot do something because it's too hard, because we can't do it, because we don't have the ability to. How can we get through life that way? Do we just give up and tell ourselves some lame excuse to compensate for own failure to believe in ourselves? We have to believe that we can get through it and in ourselves as well and never say we can't do it. We all have people who we can depend on, talk to, who will be there when you need them most. They help us not only through the hard times in life but just life in general, and I thank everybody who has done that for me. Thank you.

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

-Albert Einstein

Stop. Now think about it.

Choices.

That's what life really is all about isn't it? Everyday in life, you face hundreds, even thousands of choices, ranging anywhere from; Superficial: "What should I wear today?" or "What should I have for lunch?" to something meaningful: "How am I going to make an impact today?"

Everything you do in life is a choice. Sometimes it may not be yours, while at other times, you have all the power to make your own decisions. You can also choose how you want to feel. When life gives you lemons, do you just take it and do nothing about it? Fuck no, you go and make lemonade or throw the fucking lemons back at life. Never once in your life do you have to feel down. But why is it so hard to make a decision that will obviously keep you happy? Why is it when life brings you down, you stay down when there are so many opportunities to get back up? I wish I knew why too... I'm generally a very optimistic person, but I'm not perfect. I make mistakes, and I too get trapped in this "mind trap" so-to-speak.

I believe that every person that we meet have some sort of impact on our lives. Remember it is our choice to even begin the friendly relationship in the first place. In some way or another, the two lives can become intertwined with a simple "Hi, I'm ____. Nice to meet you." You can choose whether or not you want to continue with that relationship or leave it at that. Of course, people take it to a much deeper and more intimate level, which we call love. Whether it be a good or bad relationship, there will always be something to take out of it. It is up to you to figure out what it is in that relationship that's important and that you can take in for the future.

So up to this point, I have made many decisions in my life thus far. There will be many, many more in the days, weeks, and years to come. I don't know if this "road" I'm choosing to take is the right one for me, but I will try to look back with no regrets, but rather with content that I have made it this far. Although some choices with people and things that I have made have not been the best, I still am grateful for the opportunity to even make the choice to begin with.

I wanna go up here again and just admire the setting.

Sometimes just wish I had a day away from reality. <3
