Cyberbullying not a joke

    It happens every day. In the time it took you to read just this far, over one thousabd people have been hurt by it. Cyberbullying is real, and it's not going away. Its's not something you can shrug off, or tell someone to simply ignore it. Once it's out there, it's there forever. Little snipes can start a snowball of damage, or even just hurt the victim far more than the bully intended to, but that's no excuse.
    In this day and time we are surrounded by social media, statuses, updates, pictures, videos, are all being posted online. Honestly these bully hold so much power probably without even realizing it at times, but the sad thing is they are cowards. They hide behind their computers, even fake profiles when they start up their games. I can honestly say I've personally been the victim of cyberbullying on pictures I've posted. It hurts. Especially when it's someone you've never met, or even chatted with. They took the time to troll your account and find something to make fun of.
    Personally I delete the picture or the comment, then there's the wonderful BLOCK button. If you see someone getting attacked online you shouldn't just read it, call the bully out, and be like why are you being such a jerk? I know the last time I had a friend call out the creep, and he never responded. So they can be shut down. It's ok to feel hurt when it happens don't let anyone tell you otherwise, but after that's when you've gotta shake it off.
    Cyberbullying can be just as harmful if not more than regular bullying. It can cause so much more mental problems in the victim leaving them feeling alone, and where they eventually stop reaching out to other people, or grow to expect the worst out of everyone. If people would start spreading love and kindness instead of hate, and insults the internet would be a lot more of a safe fun place. If you find it fun to do any form of cyberbullying or feel the need to bring others down for a laugh maybe you need to talk to someone because you have some issues.

Something nice

    So last night I recieved an interesting text message, and it came at a time I really needed it. It was someone telling me I had their trust, and that I didn't bug them. I know phrased like that to most it don't sound that interesting, but to me, it meant so much. 

    I don't interact too much with other people at times out of fear im annoying so I tend to stay on the sidelines keeping quiet. (However for those who need me I'm always there for them). Sometimes it takes me a little time to think of what I want to say, and by the time I'm ready the subject has changed. I sincerely hope when I'm quiet I don't come off in a negative way. I'm lucky though I've had people push through and get me to open up, and we ended up being the best of friends.

    Anyways back to the text it was just really nice to hear that someone trusts me, and that they actually liked talking with me. Might sound silly I guess, but when you always question people's true thoughts about you, clarification is always a welcome

What a Wicked night!

    So I am just getting in from one of the funnest nights I've had in 2015 so far!! I got to go and see Wicked the musical in the fox theatre of Atlanta, with my cousins Kathleen, and grace, as well as my uncle Jerry, and Aunt Angela! 

    This was my second viewing of the show, the first time was in New York City off Broadway! I have to say it was just as perfect as I remember it. When I found out it was touring I was so excited and as luck would have it I got the opportunity to go!! 

    To me Wicked is one of the best stories, while I have read the novel and enjoyed it, I also love the play! The storyline and music altogether tells a story trying to define what makes someone wicked. And accepting people despite the fact they are different. "It's not lying, it's looking at things another way" -Fiyero to Elpheba when she tells him he doesn't have to lie and say she's beautiful. (Personally one of my favorite quotes from the show). It's also about not accepting limits just because people are telling you to, that anyone can defy gravity. For some reason I strongly relate to the show and I defenatly want to see it again in the future!

    I of course snuck some pictures of the show, we honestly had a great time and if you hadn't caught on, I highly recommend seeing Wicked if you haven't yet!

How you're seen

    Have you ever noticed how in our society if you don't look, or act a certain way people don't find you worthy. "Why does no one ever look at me like that?" We ask ourselves daily. I know personally that I'm smart, funny, and loyal to a fault. Yet in this day and time none of that matters. I'm not the one everyone swoons over, I'm not the one anyone envys, I'm the one that gets passed by again and again.

    It's easy to say looks aren't everything. They honestly aren't in the long run. But you can't say that looks don't hold power over people. Because they sadly hold a lot of influence over people. It's to the point where now people are setting themselves lower to other people. Or hurting themselves trying to improve thier image.

    Things need to change, but it's gonna take more than words it's gonna take more than a few actions

    Self image needs to be lowered on priority lists, because people are missing out on great relationships. Thankfully I have some selfless people in my life. But there is still a sting when trying to reach out and you get shut down just because of how you look.

    I guess if I could say anything it'd be give everyone a chance. You might regret not later on in life.

One of those days

    Sometimes we're all gonna have days that just don't go over to well. You know those days where you sorta hit your breaking point, and boil over. Honestly it's probably healthy especially if you're like me and tend to keep everything bottled up. Those freak outs are your bodies way of getting out all that bottled up emotion. However, we still have to deal with the aftereffect of our actions during the blow out. It's only natural when you're upset, and hurting to lash out at people.
    So if you upset anyone try to make amends, but wait until you're completely over your little episode just to be safe. If freezing someone out sounds like a really good idea, you probably aren't ready to reconcile quite yet. Also remember like I said at the beginning we all have those days, and eventually we will all have another. So don't let it get you too down when you boil over.

Tiniest of shards

    You know sometimes even the most optimistic, well put together person has thier bad times. Thinking back I'd have to say the people who look like the best probay have the most pulling them down. Our society has taught us to put on a show, and wear masks to hide what's really going on. It's seen as a sign of weakness. 

    It's the little things though that have the potential hurt us. The tiny shards that hold the power to break us. We can shrug off the big stuff, but when we are alone those shards can hit nerves or breaking points. 

    Those times are hard to get through, but it can be done. I just know that eventually to many of them can leave you feeling empty. I do believe that they come in phases, and during the inbetween things continue on normal and fine. 

    Just really all I can say is reach out to people, whether you think they need it or not.
