Boys.

Monsters

is what i like to call them.

Humans

just so far from normal.

Love games

are where they go big.

every boy

has the same game

yet every girl

experiences it different.

break hearts

is what they do.

fill the empty spaces in your fingers

is what they are meant for

yet they dont want to be like that.

too cool

to be around you and his friends.

if only...

there was a boy

that wasnt ashamed of you

and filled the empty space

in your hand.

Change is Irresistible

Just recently, I experienced what I like to call a "love triangle." Megan, Diane, and I went to an opening for Partners in Rhyme. As the music was setting in the mood, we started talking which lead to changes we want to make in life. Changes that will effect our future for the better and not the worst. We want to be the girls that every wants to be. The ones with good grades but can still have a great time without drinking and getting into trouble. That is who we wanted to be.

We then got into the topic of how other girls are depriving themselves from their family to do stupid things. This just looks horribly all around. "The only way to help them is to pray for them," Megan said. Which is true, we honestly can't help them one bit. This is what got us furious with ourselves. We were the ones doing that to our family's and to our own friend's. I just felt like the worst friend ever. The worst daughter in fact. We all just wanted to change for the best.

So we decided that we are now going to let our inner child shine and forget what the "other teens" do. Have our own fun without the whole reputation. We are going to be those girls that every parent wants their son to date. That will be us starting this summer. From now on Diane, Megan, and Tori will be better, smarter, and wiser younger girls!

how to live through teen years.

learn to accept who are you. stay confident.

respect yourself. don't let others influence your choices.

peer pressure is the common enemy. you are beautiful no matter what.

every flaw is like a pebble at the beach; it makes you YOU.

do what is best for you and not others. have love in your life.

remember what you do know will effect the future. don't sweat the small stuff.

be a kid. laugh a lot. deprive sleep and dream often. have fun.

take a road you have never gone before.

don't be afraid to take the other side of the fork in the road.

show who you truly are and don't be afraid to shine!
