D&C 18:10-11 (Yes, I'm a Mormon!) :D

"Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God."

"For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him."

Baby Animals

It's completely random but seeing how the topic is whatever... it works. :) There were too many to chose from, but I was able to find a few that were some of the cutest. Enjoy!!

If life gets you down. Look at cute baby animals. Happy Weekend! 

You're a Brick, I'm a Brick, We're all Bricks

 Brick: "clay-bearing soil/concrete material, fire hardened or air dried, used in masonry construction." (Thanks wiki)

I am a brick. You are a brick. We are ALL a brick.

I have been created. You have been created. We ALL have been created to contribute to the construction of the world.

Each shaped similarly but differently.

I have trials. You have trials. We ALL have trials and it is up to us to stand or crumble.

I cause pain. You cause pain. We ALL cause pain.

I cause support. You cause support. We ALL cause support. 

I am a brick. You are a brick. We ALL are a brick. We decide what we destroy or what we build.

Facade

"Masquerade! Paper faces on parade. Masquerade. Hide your face so the world will never find you." -The Phantom of the Opera

Masks. Used to disguise oneself from another. For Halloween it is a fun, but what about real life? 

We pass so many people every day not really thinking about how they feel. We are more focused on our friends and our own lives. But, what about those that we know? Are they wearing a mask? Do they put on a smile, when in reality they have ripped out their heart and hidden it in a dusty old shoe-box so they won't get hurt again? They say their fine and that their day was good, but was it?  

Are there people around us who are putting on a mask to impress others? To fit in? Are they wearing a mask because they are afraid? Do they switch masks when they are with different people?

How do we know that they aren't wearing a mask? That they aren't disguising their feelings? Then again, what about ourselves? Are we wearing a mask? Are we not being ourselves to fit in with society or impress someone else? 

NO LONGER! It's time. Take off the mask. Untie the string. Maybe you need a Christine to rip it off for you. It doesn't matter how you get it off. just get it off!

BE YOU. The real you is more important than the facade.  

Shattered Window and Box of Chocolate

Love Is.... 

Love is a song. Love is a puzzle. Love is a shattered window taped together. Love is a box of chocolate. Love is a fantasy. Love is a reality. Love is a promise. Love is a puppy. Love is a dog. Love is a wish upon a star. Love is a car. Love is a photo album. Love is a dinosaur. Love is an almost killer. Love is a broken wall.  

Love is an adventure. Love is a child on Christmas morning. Love is a box of crayons. Love is a poem. Love is a spider fighting a scorpion. Love is a needle in the arm. Love is a bullet to the brain. Love is an ice cream cone on a summer day. Love is an old library book. Love is a teenager. Love is a gentle breeze. Love is a hurricane. 

LOVE IS FOREVER    

Puppet on Strings

"There are no strings on me!" -Pinocchio











Are we a puppet on strings?
Do we follow only what the puppet master commands?
Do we let our life go by, putting on the same show I have for the past six years?
Do we sit after the show and collect dust on the shelf?
Do we let our lives be dull and full of splinters?

OR DO WE CUT THE STRINGS?

Do we stand up on our own and dance to our own tune?
Do we live life and enjoy the simple treasures?
Do we have the desire to be real?  
Do we become our own masters and put on our own show?

Pinocchio was a boy but had the wisdom of a man. He said, "I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, or make me frown. I had strings but now I'm free. There are no strings on me!"

Pull the splinter out! Jump off the shelf and dust yourself off! Become free! CUT THE STRINGS!

Tell yourself, "No longer am I a puppet. I'm a real boy." 

A Hitchhiker's Guide to Being Human

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will break my heart." -Jon Gordan, Energy Bus (I think)

Congratulations! You have arrived in the most interesting place; earth, the world, society; whatever you want to call it. Here we have humans. They come in all different shapes and sizes and have strengths and weaknesses. Humans are hard to describe because you never know what they will do next. Will they create, will they explore, will they succeed, will they fight, will they hide? All are valid questions that have been answered and will be answered throughout earth's history. 

To be human is an amazing experience. You get to see, hear, smell, touch, and most importantly, feel. Humans are emotional. You mess with them they will mess with you. You take something of theirs, they will get it back. Once they find a reason to fight; they will. That's what being human is all about. Feelings. Humans are made up of emotions, memories, and experiences. At times they can be pathetic or frustrating, but they make up for it by their will power and love. If you want to be a part of the human world; buckle down and immerse yourself. Enjoy the ride because it will be long, steep, bumpy,rough, thrilling,boring,exciting, road. 

      

One Wish

ONE WISH

I have one, main, wish this year. My wish is to go to my Senior Prom. I didn't go last year, because no one asked me but I was okay with that because I had another year left. But now the wishing starts. I don't care how I get asked-it could be hand written on a paper, shoved into my locker- just as long as I got asked.(Not by a text, however. I do have a few expectations.) It could be the week of, the day of even, I just want to be asked. However if there is a girl out there who has never gone to a dance then she should be the first choice before me. She needs her chance to be Cinderella. I have gone to some school dances and they have been a blast. If I don't get asked it won't be the end of the world, but to be honest I will be melancholy.  

I might be living a fantasy to ask such a wish, but it has never hurt to imagine. Now that I think of it, Cinderella and I share things in common. We are both common, ordinary people, wishing to go to a fancy dance. We both imagine ourselves there and are only happy to gain the experience to dance the night away at least once in our lives. One advantage I have to Cinderella is that I have a chance to meet gentlemen before the dance. 

And so I go about my senior year holding onto my one wish.
