seriously?

jealous

I don't really know if she qualifies as a poet but I think Taylor Swift is an absolute genius.  Her lyrics are so different and original. When Im reading her lyrics, she tells a story and it inspires me. I feel like if you dont relate to at least one of her songs then there is something wrong with you. I am very jealous of her thought process.. I dont even know how she comes up with it. I think because she writes everything she sings it is believable and honest. I wish I was her.

I think I love this little saying because my goals change all the time but when i'm around people who believe in me and want me to succeed I feel like I can do anything. The kind of people who dont care what my dream is but will do anything to support me and help me reach it. yeah, these are the people who are special to me.

Where has respect gone?

Yesterday I was thinking about why there is so much pressure for girls to be perfect. Thin, pretty, non existing-robot perfect. This kills me because the beauty inside everyone is being cheated. I believe a lot of this has to do with societies opinion on beauty but I also think a big part is the way men treat women. Granted, not all guys are the same way but there are to many disrespectful men. Where has the respect gone? I feel with all of this derogatory "make me a sandwich" Shiz , it shows that the decent men have decreased in number drastically. I hope that when a guy thinks about a girl, he thinks about his own future daughter and how he wants guys to treat her. It's not cool to treat women like a prize. Like the only way to be beautiful is if your thin and perfect. Guess what, there isn't a perfect woman. Do personalities even matter anymore? Woman of this day and age are amazing. It just doesn't matter what size you are or how perfect your face is. Real beauty is kind, loving caring people. Be whoever you want to be and know that your perfect how you are

Courage

I think courage is standing up. Standing up for what you believe, for what you think! It's having your own opinion. To many times people don't say what they think or say what's on their mind. It takes an honest person who is comfortable in their own skin to be whoever they want to be. Courage is being whoever you want to be.

LIFE AND DEATH

Well, I will say one thing about death;  I'm not afraid of it. I think mostly because I know what's coming after this life and I'm not trying to get religious or preachy but I just know. Anyways, how could I be afraid of a never ending paradise? How could I not want perfect happiness or to live on for eternity? I'm not afraid, I'm anxiously awaiting it!

 I think that one of the things that I am going to love the most about after death, is that everyone will not be living under the wicked traps of comparison. "Comparison is the death of joy" I whole heartedly believe that.
Comparing: Clothes, Wealth, looks, personality, talents, body image, etc... All of that is crap, yet I can't say that I'm free from it. I want to be.

BUT: With the same token, I can't have life after death if I don't live my life right. That is why I am afraid of life. I am constantly freaking out... am I doing the right things? Am I reacting to trials in the right way? Im afraid of the fact that I can't control what happens to me, only how I react. Im afraid that I'm not living my life so that I can get to death and have paradise. I couldn't be more grateful for my life but I guess I'm scared of the things I can't control like... bad weather, rapists, miscarriages, depression, etc.... These things are in this life but won't be after death.
