Insecurities.... Will Crush you

Insecurities are terrible. They are one of those things that are pretty much inevitable in high school. You compare yourself to the most popular person, the most attractive, the best at a certain sport or instrument and you ask yourself "Why can't I be that good?'

Well... I'm here, as a seasoned high school student, to say, you are good enough for who you are now

High school is a bunch of kids put into one confinement to basically battle out life together and some how figure out who you are in the process. High school will test you so much, in your first 18 years, they will be your greatest years and hardest. This is the one thing that you have to learn now and keep trying to learn it everyday. To say: I am happy who I am, I know I can be better, but I know I can become even better. And I know my strengths and weaknesses. I have had to learn this the hard way. I have had challenges and hard things happen to me that ultimately, I deserved, but it just didnt work out. But now, I look back on it, I am 100X a better person than if those things I didnt experience happened.

Dont let your peers, teachers, friends, or whatever challenges dictate what person you want to become or who you are. You are good enough, you are the best (insert name here). No one else can be like you. So continue to make that person better.

Alright so.. Two posts in less than 2 mins, I know. Don't judge me. But once you have that creative juice flowing, you can't stop it! But today, was just a fantastic day. Just because I got to spend time with the people I love the most. I love these perfect days, when you feel that the world can't stop you and you just think you can dunk it from the free throw line or kiss a girl in the rain right in front of her house. Well, neither of those things happened, sadly, but I still attempted. Other than those two things, this day=perfect. I know ill have those bad days coming up and that not every day will be like this, but I can look back on this day and say hey, those days are up ahead, just keep pushing through. :)

Life, is..... Every single word you can think of. It's happiness, sadness, hopelessness, more words with  ness in them, and just bought everything. But what I've realized in the little time I have been on this earth, is that, your attitude and the people that around you everyday in your life, are everything. I recently have just been thinking, a lot more than I usually do, and wow, I seriously have the most amazing friends. I couldn't ask for better. A day hasn't gone by when I haven't been able to crack a joke with one, or one of us makes eachother smile. It honestly is the greatest feeling to be in the arms of friendship, shout out to my boy Dobby in Harry potter for that line. But I just want to say this, to my closest friends and the ones I am especially close to that are reading this, thank you. Thank you so much for the memories and for just being there for me when I needed it the most. Thank you for honestly letting me, into your life. You mean more than you ever will.

What? Me a blogger? Ya, I think it's weird too

Well, this is my first post. Ever. And do I have anybody following me? No. Do I have anybody listening to me? No. But this is where my fame starts. So I better make this good. I am, like my title says, just a kid, in high school, trying to do what I wanna do. I've just been called to a LDS mission to serve in Frankfurt Germany for the next 2 years of my life and I leave July 24. So I don't have a lot of time to spend with the people I Love and care about. So that's what I am going to be doing for the next 136 days of my life: telling you about all the experiences I've had that has made me into who I am, and those people in it, and how these new experiences I'm going to make with these people will be the best times. I have a lot of friends, at least I think I do, but really, I have a select few who I actually would love to be around all the time with. Who I can eat like crazy and not even care, talk and say anything to them without a care in the world, and who I can just spend time doing absolutely nothing, and yet, have a good time. Those are the people I love. High school builds those friendships from you. Nobody knows what they are doing in high school. Some kids think they got it all right, they know where they're going, what they're going to become; then those are the kids that end up prego or like to be surrounded by smoke and like to say 'live free' a lot. Then there are the other kids, kids like me, who are trying to discover what love is, what they're good at, what they aren't, how to bond with their parents, how to somehow keep their rooms clean, get good grades to go to college, and some how, some how make friends that you can actually trust and depend on. That's what high school is for. And that's the stage in my life, that is almost done, that I am doing. So here's me, a teenage boy, that really, is kinda doing a girly thing, but I'm gonna be a blogger. But a secret one. So judge me world. Judge the heck outta me. Cause I. Don't. Care. But yet, ill keep you posted about the rest of my life. And that's that. Hopefully this first blog was good for ya and kept ya involved. So stay tuned for the next little insight into my life you haven't heard yet. So you can be apart of it. :)
