Too Blessed to be Stressed

Have you heard that before? I really try to abide to that motto, but life's just too difficult. Things go wrong everyday! People have this expectation of me: they expect me to be PERFECT. Not going to lie, I am a perfectionist, but just to clarify, I am FAR from perfect. People expect so much from a single individual, it can become overwhelmingly hectic. With AP classes, directors (who like to play the dictator role), and with what seems to be unusual family problems...I feel like I'm going crazy. There's this "stay positive" thing that my teacher tells us to do. She tells us to say buts. So if you say something negative, you find a positive but about it. For instance, I did not sleep at all last night, because I stayed up writing a damned essay about Grendel, but I got a 95 on it. Although that is a great strategy, sometimes I can't find buts, and that just really makes the whole situation worse. I hate that.

Aspire to Inspire

I witnessed one of the most moving testimonies I've ever heard. God always knows what I need to hear when I need to hear it. Hal's ability to share his story inspires me to change my ways and to change peoples' lives. This man brings hope to the future expectations of humanity. His humbled character and compassionate, diligent nature bring tears to my eyes. Hal is the definition of a shitty childhood, and he went above and beyond to be AMAZING! He helps kids be amazing to help younger kids be amazing...with his amazingness. What a blessed man.
