Birthday Wishes

If you're wondering, on the ninth of November, I was supposed to blow out seventeen candles [my cake was lacking sixteen of those seventeen].


I just wanted to thank everybody that has been there for me the past year, and especially the two very special people that were there with me Friday.


Birthdays are only special if you share them with someone <3

It's been a great 16th, but 17 will be better.(:

Friend Cycle

It's funny how friendship works.

You start out as strangers. Two people tossed into a situation, whether good or bad, and for some reason, you make a connection. From there, the friendship has two options: to grow and become strangers turned best friends or to fade away.


Should the friendship continue, you learn more and more about each other. Through good times and bad, you promise. Through birthdays and inside jokes, it lasts. Until, one day the two of you know what seems like everything about each other. And then something happens. It doesn't have to be big or even trivial, and you have to make a choice.


To stay best friends or to fade away?


Slowly, the drift happens. Now, it might not be a fault of your own. Maybe it's time, or work or even other people. Until the final stage: strangers.


Now there's someone out there that was once a part of your life. Someone who knew you for a period of your life. They might know your favorite color, your birthday or even that weird habit of yours. Sure a "Happy Birthday" or "Hi" might appear, but you'll never reach that best friend point again.


Even though it's sad to lose friends, you just have to be thankful that they were there for you when they were. There's a lot of "maybe"s and "what if"s but you have to live in the here and now: the present.

Halloween

The months are just flyin' by, aren't they?

Well as you all know, yesterday was October 31, which means HALLOWEEN (:

Yes, I did dress up to pass out candy. But it's okay, cause Halloween only happens once a year.

My friends and I (:

Three of my friends came over, including Megan, but I'll leave her to blog about her own costume.We basically just chilled out and passed out candy throughout the night.

Don't ask what the kid in the middle's costume was. I'm still not entirely sure...even after he explained it to me. 



The cutest little boy made my day. He went up to me and told me in the most serious voice possible not to go into the woods. Then, he proceeded to explain to me that he was "Super-girl" and not Superman.
Too adorable.


Anyways, I hope you guys had a Happy Halloween!

Second Best

Being second best isn't nice. You don't get that warm fuzzy feeling of being picked first, nor do you get that pride that goes hand-in-hand with the word "first". In fact, being someone's second best is down right degrading.

I know that it's simply not possible to put everyone on the same level, but sometimes, when it's blatantly obvious, it can hurt.

Dance Your Night Away

If I had to describe my life in one word, it would be hectic. Enough said.

In a way, I love the crazy thing I call "life". You just have to go out and enjoy it.

This weekend was my homecoming, and I'm not going to lie: I had a freaking great time. Everyone always says that after freshman and sophomore year, that homecoming is stupid and lame, but seriously. It was amazing. Plus, you only have four of 'em, so why not?

In my little, 5-inch heels, you couldn't have peeled me off the dance floor. I credit it to all the years I did dance, haha. My poor date was probably wondering what he got himself into. In my defense: he is my best friend and I did warn him, so he should have expected the craziness.

Homecoming 2012. I decided to give my date/best friend a bit of privacy and crop them out.


Basically, where I'm going with this post is: It's good to challenge yourself and do things that you know you're not the best at, but every once in a while, go out and have fun [even if you do have 20 other things you should be doing instead.]

It's healthy. It's not healthy to over stress yourself and work yourself to a break down.

Just live once in a while <3

Things That Make Me Happy

So, recently, I've discovered this thing called: Just Girly Things. So thanks to them, for these awesome pictures.(: 

Things that make me happy:

Drama

Sometimes we say things that we don't mean, out of anger or just without thinking of others or the consequences. Other times we blow little things out of proportion, making the tiniest detail seem like a gigantic mountain that we can't ever get around. Often "I'm sorry" is the hardest thing to say.

Sure, I'll take my part and own up to it, but can you own up to yours?

It's funny how petty little fights seem so silly, but are often times the most destructive. Sometimes the people you care about the most are the people that are able to hurt you the most.

If you really care, you have to work to get through things. It takes time, effort and maybe a screaming match, but it's up to you whether or not you want to fix things.


Take a breather, think the situation through and admit your faults. Everything will be okay.
