A little sympathy......

The solution to all problems: Sympathy. There is not enough of it in this world and i for one am getting sick and tired of it. Ya know not everyone that is unemployed is a dead beat. People need to be a little more understanding of life problems. People who are not living up to so called "standards of life" may have a lot of other issues going on. Just because you can't pay you bills or support yourself at a particular time in life automatically puts you in a class of deadbeat, loser, or stupid. When in actuality there are many factors that put you in that position in the first place. I'm not saying the blame should be put on any one in particular, but maybe if people has sympathy of the situation that your in, it could make all the difference.

Just because someone is having a hard time or complaining about something that you can't relate to, it doesn't make that problem any less important. Life sucks and that's just that way it is and you have to keep on going and i get that. But maybe as an outsider, you can take a step back, look at the situation and just say "wow that person has a lot going on that i can't understand but maybe i should be supportive anyway."

I for one am guilty of judging to quick and now that i'm in a hurtful situation, i realize that not everything is what it seems and that there are many factors that go in to a situation. You never know what is going on in someones life and just because they don't show all the pain that is going on, doesn't mean its not there.

So the next time you go and give someone a hard time, DON'T. Because the next words you say to them, could be the ones that put them over the edge.

Encouraging words

• Donna Shapiro michelle, you have had a rough time lately. but you know what, when you smile you light up a room. when you party, everyone has fun. when you love, everyone feels loved.....so keep these things in your mind and everything else will fall into place. when one door closes, God always opens another one and when God opens it, it is always better.

  Paul Schirl Michelle, while it doesn't seem like it, things do get better eventually, but it takes time. Keep your chin up!

Parents have a lot to uphold

As a kid growing up, you always look to your parents for every boo boo, accident, bad grades, failed attempt at something. And as you keep growing up, you still look to them. For advice, support, a compliment. The point is, parents need to realize that they are always setting an example and your children will always look up to you and always seek you out either first or last for advice. So remember that each time your kid goes to you, they will always be looking for the answers and the experiences that you can share. No matter what age you are, whether they are alive or have passed. We all go to our parents for what we know and want out of life.

Just keep it in mind parents! We need you....always !

Intelligence

So today i saw this man with a tattoo on his right fore arm that said "Intelligence". All i could think in my head was "really? intelligence? did you need to get it tattooed on you because you don't have any and now you will?"
This is something that goes along the lines with stereotypes. The only reason why we even have stereotypes is because people live up to them and create new ones. I am all about tattoos. I love them. I don't think your a loser, bad-ass or  whore just because you have them. But i do believe you are an idiot to have something like that tattooed on you. It makes you look stupid!

The lesson for today: Don't act like an idiot and people won't call you one! :)

I'm Finally pursuing my dreams!!

So you know how everyone says "Follow your dreams" and " only you can make it happen." Well after fifteen years i finally did it. I finally pursued what i have always wanted to do. Write. I have been writing since i was in fifth grade. I have always wanted to be a published writer.

Today i went for an internship position at the Somerville News paper. It is an unpaid internship but i get to write. I will get assignments and i get to pick which ones i want. I am so excited for this opportunity! I am finally pursuing what i have always wanted to do.

I've always felt like i couldn't do it and that people wouldn't support me and that everyone would think it is stupid and a waste of time. Finally, i just decided that i don't care anymore, i want this. I am more sick of people telling me to follow my dreams and i don't listen. If there is anything I've learned over the past three months, it's that you never know when your going to go and there is not always a tomorrow, but there is a today. Even if i never get a chance to write my article and be published, at least people can say i tried and i wanted it badly enough that i went after it. I can be proud of that.

Another bad text

So yesterday morning i woke up with a text from my little brother that he had to take my sister in law, Jenna, to the hospital. She said she was having breathing problems and that she felt she needed to go to the ER. So he took her. Turns out that she has an infected Gallbladder. The Gallbladder is the organ that helps digestion. So right away, i think that maybe it has been infected for a while, like during her pregnancy and maybe that is why she was so sick. I looked it up and it says that this condition can sometimes be overlooked in pregnant woman due to the symptoms being the same.  So today she is getting it taken out!

I just hope this helps her and that she won't be sick anymore. Poor Jenna , she has just been through so much and i just want her to be okay and live a happy non sick life!!! :) we are here for you Jenna!!!!

Going Public

So today i decided to make my blog public. So far so good. People are actually reading it so that's a start. whether or not people will continue to read it is another thing! But hey i am just glad that i finally did it. I have kept a journal since i was in 5th grade and i still have every page. I won't go as far as posting that stuff yet, if ever, being a teenager makes you say some really crazy stuff and you go through some really crazy stuff. But hey, maybe someday. Never say never. As for now i just plan on writing about life like i always have. Now i just have an audience. So to speak. Now i just need an opportunity to get paid to do what i love. As for now, it will be my daily insights or daily drama events in my case. There is always something happening to me or around me. I have always wished for a dull life and instead it just keeps getting more drama filled.

So thank you to everyone who supports me and to who ever needs someone to talk to, believe me i have probably been through it or have been involved with it in some way or another. Or i can just listen! Life is about opportunities, you just have to know which ones to take. I hope i took a good one tonight.

I need a break

My Birthday

Well i'm another year older, and i don't feel any different really except not being where i want to be at this point in my life. I have no career, i'm not happily married with kids. But hey whose plan actually works out they way they wanted? no one i know.

And also, yet again, no birthday party for me. No one can make it, no one wants to pay to go out. But hey i'm used to being let down. Yes i was mad. But where is that going to get me? Instead i have to learn my audience. I should have had a birthday cook out. Where everyone could go no matter what their age or financial status is. So ya maybe i didn't have a big birthday party. but i did get to go to the cape with my amazing boyfriend and he took me out for an amazing dinner! I shouldn't be complaining, i should be thankful that i have an amazing man in my life and that i am happy!!!

Another year down
