Let Go of Judging

Hello World,
I've been really happy lately. To be honest, that's pretty odd. I mean, I've been back in school for two weeks. I've been around people I wouldn't choose to be around for two weeks. And school work has taken up most of my time. So why am I grinning from ear to ear everyday?
Instead of trying to figure why I am so out- of- this- world happy, I have been trying to figure out why I have not been happy for so long. While in distance state of thinking, I came across a specific reason of my unhappiness:I use to be judgmental person.
For years, I would judge people, look down on people, and predict the lives of others. It seemed like every time I would judge someone, something bad would happen to me. Or that very one thing I predicted would happen to someone else, would hit me in the face.
Thinking about it now, I was a pretty miserable person. I was so consumed in other people's lives that I didn't even think of mine. I just thought nothing but good things would occur to me, but my life played out in a totally different direction. While other people's lives were sprouting, mine was dwindling. I wasn't getting any happier. I was becoming more depressed and dark. 
At the time, I didn't think I was the person doing this to myself. I always felt that it was someone else in my surroundings causing my misery. It turns out, I was the person doing this to myself all these years.
I'm older now. Okay, maybe just a few months older, but I'm older. I'm doing my best to mature and erase the flaws. Erasing, as in making better. Not the "erasing" associated with forgetting events that did play out in life.I just want to become the best me. For once, I want to focus on myself and the growth in my life. I realize now that I cannot worry about my life, while trying to figure out how Miguel or Kelsey's life is going to play out.
Y'all, focus on yourself. Judging others is just a waste of time. Trust me.I wasted so much time being depressed and making judgements of others. Don't be the old me. Be the better me or the better you. Work hard on making your life better, and nothing but good things will come your way. Believe that!

Junior Year

I have less than 24 hours to soak in the last drops of summer. Tomorrow is the start of my junior year, and for once in my life, I'm excited to start school. So much has happened these past few months that I am ready to open a new chapter in my life. I can't believe I am growing up this fast. Soon, I'll be starting college. Ugh, scary. I just have to keep taking deep breaths and allow God to lead through this school year.

Be the Best YOU

Stop the competition, end the race, and face the music. You are the only person living your life. Not Jack, Jill, or Bobby. Not even your mommy. It is you, my dear, enduring the ups and downs of the greatest gift that you could be given, life. At times, life can be the worse and shortest gift a person could receive, but you're given it anyway and you only have one life. This is your chance and only chance to be the best you could ever be. Don't look at what someone else have. Look at what you have. Find your beauty, your talents, and your flaws. Accept all God has given you. It might take you a lifetime to do this, but before you leave this Earth you can say," I found me, and I tried to be the best me." That's really all you have to do. I believe when you accept who you are and stop beating yourself up for not being someone else, good things come your way. Success comes your way. Happiness comes your way. All the things you want, whether it's wealth or a priceless item, shall come into your hands. First, you must accept the things,inner and outer, God has blessed you with. Don't worry, you are not alone. I'm on an loonnnggg journey to be the best me.

Where the Wind Blows

Today I read a Huffington Post article on how to get your blog noticed. One of the advice tips was to have a definite meaning or theme to your blog. You know like a fashion blog, car blog, something along those lines. When I created this blog, I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to write about one specific thing because life isn't about one thing. You don't wake up to do one thing. You don't live just to do one thing. So, why write about one thing?

I'm a growing teenager that is living a difficult life in a complicated world. Or is it the other way around? I don't know. There are a lot of things that has happened to me and will happen to me. There are things that I am going through currently. I want to share those things because I know I am not the only person in this gigantic world going through something.

And I'm just going to write about those things. I'll throw in fashion, music, and other fun stuff to jazz up my blog. I guess what I am trying to say is that this blog isn't going in one direction. I'm not controlling its movements. I'm just letting it go wherever the wind takes it.
