Ever felt this way?
I'm pretty sure I have felt this way too many times in the past. As of this moment, I can't even begin to remember the memories of that emotion, I am just too happy. Its indescribable, it seems as if nothing can bring me down. I have such a positive attitude right now, I wish everyone could feel this. In fact, I think that might be my mission in life, to make as many people as I can happy. It could all start with something as simple as a hug. Group hugs are one of those things that make me feel that there really is hope for this cold, miserable world. I think if more people could have an attitude like this, we could end so many of the issues of this world; hunger, poverty, corruption, greed. From now on, I promise to make at least one person smile everyday, everyone deserves to :).

Human Trafficking
What was YOUR childhood like ?
Surely not like this ?
This is happening N O W and it needs to be stopped.
In India, around 10,000 to 15,000 women and young girls are being stolen, and then forced into sexual labor. These girls could be someone like you, your sister, or mother, who are lured or kidnapped, and then sold to a brothel where their nightmare begins. Some of them are as young as six years old. They go through a living hell everyday, while we are sitting around watching TV.
Anuradha Koirala has helped 12,000 of these victims through Maiti Nepal since 1993. Maiti Nepal is a foundation started by Anuradha Koirala that not only prevents human trafficking and helps rescues girls, they also then rehabilitate them. Thus enormous job can’t be done alone.
You can help make a difference.
How? Donate to Maiti Nepal, you'll be saving young women from spending their lives being abused, beaten, and raped numerous times a day. They are humans, and deserve to be treated as such. You can give these girls a brighter future, something they haven't known.
Dialogue
“What do you think Japan is like Helga?”
“I bet it’s amazing. I mean, come on; the Japanese only make every single one of the electronics I own.”
“Yeah, iPods must grow on trees there, and all those sushi rolls much taste a million times better when you’re actually there.”
“I love sushi! But who knows? I sure don’t. Never been there, don’t think I ever will.”
“That sucks for you! I’m going over the summer and I’m taking that girl named Bertha you hate so much! We are going to have so much fun and you’re going to miss out on all of it.”
“What is your problem?! You have now become the most evil person I have ever met!”
“Hm, what does that taste like? Oh yes, it’s the sweet taste of revenge!”
“What are you talking about?”
“Remember three years ago, when you had your birthday party at Water World , and you didn’t invite me? You knew I always wanted to go there because of all the cute, topless guys in…
“Um, Stacy, I did invite you, but you were sick that day, so you ended up not coming.”
“Is that really what happened? It was such a long time ago…”
Yep, I even brought you chicken soup, and some flowers to make you feel better.”
“Wow, you’re the best! This revenge turned out to be pretty sour. Will you forgive me? Omg, you have to understand, I was pretty mad about it. It was so stupid of me! You know what it feels like right? Helga, please forgive me, I’ll do anything!”
“Oh no, oh no, it’s perfectly fine. Don’t you stress one bit over this.”
“Really? Gosh, I could never find a better best friend! “
“It is all good. I won’t forget this, though.”
Thank you thank you thank you! I love you more than peanut butter loves jelly! Wait, what do you mean by you’ll never forget this?”
“Nothing , nothing.”
“You’re going to get me back aren’t you?!”
“We’ll just have to see won’t we?”

Analyzing song lyrics (:
First of all, I got to say I love this song. I only included my favorite lyrics below :). To me, this song is really inspiring, and makes me want to keep on going and fulfill my dreams, even when it seems impossible. It's is all about living life to the fullest in every aspect, and knowing life is short, so it shouldn't be wasted. This song seems so carefree to me, and that is the kind of life I want to live. I want to do what floats my own boat, not anybody else's. It's about not letting others bring you down no matter what, and most of all, to find happiness in life. I admire Kid Cudi for achieving what he wanted, even when others judged him. Look where he is now.
I don't care, hand on the wheel, drivin ****, I'm doin’ my thing
Rollin the Midwest side and out livin’ my life getting’ out dreams
People told me slow my roll, I'm screaming out f*** that
Imma do just what I want, lookin’ ahead no turnin’ back
if I fall, if I die, know I lived it to the fullest
if I fall, if I die, know I lived it missin' bullets
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know,
everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.
Tell me what you know about dreamin’ dreamin’
you don't really know about nothin’ nothin’
tell me what you know about them night terrors every night
5 am, cold sweats wakin’ up to the skies
tell me what you know about dreams, dreams
tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin’
you don't really care about the trials of tomorrow
rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know,
everything that shine ain't always gonna be gold
I'll be fine once I get it, I'll be good.

My Hero ♥
The first I run to,
when troubles arise
nourishes my goals,
dreams, crazy aspirations
taught me lessons,
I couldn't learn from any other
witnessed my best,
witnessed my worst
never ending room to forgive,
and to forget
my mom, definitely my idol,
and much more
saves my life,
rescues me from the evil of the world
personal therapist, shoulder to cry on
holds the pieces of this twisted puzzle
would sacrifice my life for hers because
without my mother, life is nothing
gave me so much,
yet asks for nothing in return
young at mind, young at soul
no one could replace
over qualified to be my super hero
forever in my heart
the person I love above all, most importantly
love you mommy (: ♥

As the half-drawn curtain moves. . .
As the half-drawn curtain moves, light floods my room like an ocean of brightness. No, no, not yet ! Why!? Why me ?! Jesus Christ, it's a Saturday, that gives me the right to sleep in like a normal teenager, right? I wish I had super stretchy limbs, so I could close the curtains that my father just rudely opened, interrupting my beautiful, peaceful sleep and unleashing the wrath of sunlight upon me. Oh sleep, how I love you, I cannot get enough of you and it seems that no one wants us to together. It's a tragedy, but no worries, I'll be back for you tonight.
For now, it seems that I will go through my usual morning routine: brushing my teeth, showering, popping in my contact lenses and I'm ready to go for another 12 hours. Mmm, but do I smell pancakes downstairs? There is no mistaking that whiff of buttermilk and maple syrup I sense. If my brother's making them, I won't even attempt to get even a bite, his little greedy self will most likely devour them heartlessly by the time I go check. Okay, so I have two choices now, dull ,daily routine or scrumptious, delectable breakfast? My stomach answers for me as it gives a giant rumble, and personally, I agree. So breakfast it is, and as it turns out my brother was the creator of the pancakes. I'm going to need a Plan B. Let's see what we have here in the pantry, all the healthy cereals ranging from Raisin Bran to Multi-grain Cheerios. Not even the original Cheerios. Yuck. Well maybe there's something good in the fridge, and as I pull on the refrigerator's handle, my prayers are answered. Score! Ahh, nothing better than some leftover cold pizza to make my morning just jolly.
I can just tell today's going to be my kind of day. I feel it in my stomach, where that wonderful pizza is being taken.
