anyway

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be good enough.
Do good anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.
It never was between you and them anyway."

whale v dolphin

(via honey-and-bee)


A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?”
The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:
“Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness. They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia. They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires. Mermaids do not exist. But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish? They would have no sex life and could not bear children. Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad. And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side? Without a doubt, I’d rather be a whale."

questionzzz

Write about a time when you tried to help and ended up making things worse: hahaha probably everyday? no just kidding i think this happens to everyone more often then we think actually!  i dont think anybody ever thinks "oh man, im going to do this for someone and then they are going to be screwed after" no no no. we always think that the words we say will help as well as actions, advice, etc. but im sure if things dont turn out the way the person would have hoped, we can get blamed for some things yanno?

Did you ever break an important promise: yes

Write about picking apples, berries, or other fruit or vegetables: we had an apple tree at my old house and my parents would have ely, sam and i pick up the apples that had fallen.... it seemed like it was THE WORST but in all actuality it only took about an hour (if that) hahaha

Write about being a misfit: i think from the end of my 8th grade year through the middle of my 9th grade year i just never really knew where i fit in... i  was sick of my old friends but also felt like groups were complete so i didnt ever go out with any other people... it wasnt until taylor buck and i became best friends where i started to kind of feel like i was happy with the turn my life had taken.



Describe a car or bicycle accident you were in: when i was a jr in high school the drill girls had a group date and it was katie, connor, dani, russel, sean and myself and we were driving and long story short we ran into a telephone pole, and a transmitter box and it blew up underneath of us. not good at all. 

Write about being friends with your brother/sisters: i love my brothers. they truly are the best ever. sam and i are closer just because we have similar interests and ely can be really hard to get along with just because hes so temperamental. but when ely wants to talk we can be super close as well. we all get so excited for each other when we succeed in something we love and we also push each other to be better. sometimes we argue, but dont all siblings?!

Write about wearing high heels or a necktie for the first time: ive yet to wear a necktie.... but high heels and i have a love-hate relationship. i love them! they are adorable on other people and i have some cute heels that would seriously make my outfits that much better... but im not that girl. i dont know why whenever i wear them out and about i feel as if i am trying too hard. its not like they hurt my feet or anything at all but i just dont get that dolled up to wear heels would be acceptable. my mother always comes home with super cute heels that are amazingly adorable but they sadly just sit in my closet :( also i dont go out to places where i need to be that fancy.... i dunno its just a weird thing for me i guess. one day, i hope i grow out of it!

describe

bored and dont know what to blog about. im having a weird but good day and am feeling a mixture of emotions. school ending, cade leaving, a possible AWESOME experience literally thrown at me (more to come when more finalized later)...so im answering questions. enjoy or hate.


 Describe a day at the mall: urgh. hell. seriously i am not a fan of going to the mall and meandering around. its a very RARE occasion when i wanna juts hang out at that place. it stresses me out. now, describe a day at nordstroms.... completely different story. i never leave empty handed... ever. and i actually went there today. bought three items that will be nice additions to my already fabbulous wardrobe

Describe your dream room: welll i guess it depends on what we are talking about here. bedroom? kitchen? bathroom? living room? i dont want to go through and name off what would make each of those rooms ideal so i will name off some things like i would like as a general rule for all of the above.  clean. tidy. homey-i want it to be welcoming to all. earthy idk why i just love earth tones in houses. im not a huge fan of all white and black. and i also want to be able to feel like i can relax in any room.  


Describe a day at the beach: fabulous and much needed. thats what one of my favorite things about lake powell was. we would wake up, pack a ton of food and just go bum it on the beach and hung out. theres just something fun, lighthearted and carefree about beaches and good company.


Describe a practical joke you played on a friend/family member: hahahahahahhahaha honestly too many to name. pranking was our middle name in high school and we loved it!!!! one that always comes to mind is when scott, kamron, lex and nikkie and i went and toilet paperd tayvia cary's car and then to her house..... got caught.... police came.... and we had to clean it up. honestly HILARIOUS!!!!!!!! omg i feel bad that we did it because ime sure she thought/thinks that we all hated her. we totally didnt it just happened that way and it was all too much fun!

Describe an unforgettable experience: wow toughie. i think the most unforgettable experience that i have ever had is when i finally found out what being a true friend meant. its such a hard thing to teach someone what that is and to also understand it yourself. i have been "friends" with people for 6+ years and am finally realizing that they would throw me under the bus to save themselves. it totally sucks. but i think i finally realize that i would rather have 5 friends i can count on every second of everyday without having to talk to them constantly... then have 200 friends that wouldn't care if i was there or not. i think that everyone learns that lesson eventually and i am glad im finally starting to realize those types of things.

suggestions for successsssss

happy way

sometimes the hard was is really the easy way, and the slow way is really the quick way...
yet, sometimes surprises may remain forever unknown when one waits...and waits...for the quick  and easy way to manifest.

choose the "happy way," and time wont matter.

the whale

 If you read a recent front page story of the San Francisco Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around as she was thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
