Hey guys
So today I'm talking about some videos that I have seen when I have been surfing YouTube.
So there is this Christian ministry that I follow and they have really helped me with knowing what I should do and how should live so that I'm honouring my Lord Jesus Christ. But not everything thinks that way.
I saw some videos on YouTube that were only meant to mock them. I'm sorry but if we did that to you about the videos that you post, you would be highly offended. Now the only reason that I'm saying this is because most everyone gets mad when they are mock about something that they believe or even when they are just mock because of something that they can't change.
The problem with this world isn't that we can't all agree on one thing, it's that we judge other people because of what we agree and disagree on. I'm a Christian. I won't have sex before marriage. I don't believe in wearing makeup because it hides our natural beauty, and I rather not be friends with homosexuals. But that does not mean that I judge or mock any of the people that disagree with me. I'll just live my life the way I want to and other people live life the way that they want to. But with saying that, if I was asked about my beliefs and why I have them, I'll gladly tell them, if they disagree with me, they disagree with me. It's not my place to judge other people. I live my life and leave the judging to my Heavenly Father because I know that he'll be just while judging them.
All that the people at the ministry are trying to do is to give advice to other people who believe the same as they do. If you don't believe what they do, then why on Tellus are you watching their YouTube channel, to begin with? Just to get material to mock them? Because I'm pretty sure that falls under bullying, and it shouldn't be allowed anywhere on this earth.
Most of us have freedom of speech, and while some use it to mock what other people believe, we should be using to bring this world together instead of tearing people apart slowly. What's the point anyway? You feel good about it until someone mocks you about something that you believe in? It shouldn't feel that way.
I have this thing I say; I accept this world, but I don't like it.
I have to accept it. Because if I don't, I may want to punch a wall or something (maybe a tree) but I really don't like it. I don't like it so much that if I'm given the chance, I would want to change it. I mean this is the world that is talking about a song that's about a man raping a woman. What people don't understand is that in the period that the song was written in (over fifty years ago) it was normal for a conversation like that to happen because of the social standard that was in place. Plus the man is saying that it's cold outside. And I don't think cars were all that common or that they even had heaters so it would be a long walk home. Plus I'm pretty sure that I heard one of my sisters saying that the people that sang that song were married so...This is the world we live in. And I have accepted it. But I 100% don't like it and really hope be able to change it when I'm older.

The First Rule of Dragon Flight Club....
Hey Guys. Sorry for not posting for a while.
But the good news is that it's holidays so I may have more time for writing posts. Anyway, I'm using my first couple weeks in the summer holidays to rewatch all the How To Train Your Dragon movies and tv season. I'm up to the one where they create a dragon flight club since Stoick created a ban on flying.
Does anyone know the first rule of Dragon Flight Club?
Well since I have all this free time, I'm doing a nano type thing with this summer. Writing a book during the holidays. I want to this book to have at least 50, 000 words but I'm not sure. I haven't written a book with that many words in it yet. I wish I could, but I can't come up with enough ideas for that many words. I best just allow the words to flow. Just like I do with these posts.
So who has heard of forKING&COUNTRY? Well, they are coming to Australia in late January and I'm going to have the opportunity to see them live. Can you believe that? Not only do I get to go to a concert and actually meet them (I have the tickets with the meet & greet), it would actually be my first live concert ever. Mainly because not a lot of my favourite bands and singers come to Australia and I don't have a passport yet. So I can't actually go to America or another country yet.
Anyway, I need to get something to eat so that my hands and brain would be able to write and come up with the words for me to write.

Throw Back Monday!
Hey guys
So I decided to make a playlist with all the songs that I have on my laptop and some of these songs I was obsessing over. I knew all the words (still do) but I haven't heard them in over two years. It's like I'm a totally different person! I was obsessed with things I can't even remember. I want to say that I would never forget anything like the songs I like, the books I like, but it is happening. I would listen to some of these songs, over and over and over just until I have the lyrics down pack so that I can see them without looking at the words.
It's funny that when you grow up, the things that you were in love with in your preteen years or even early teen years don't seem to matter as much. I have only been a teenager for a couple of years but a book series that I have read over and over again (Holly's Heart, I still need to give you back to my sister but that's for another day), I don't think about as much. I can't even remember the title of a really good mystery that I read when I was 10/11 but I really really want to read it again. Life is weird that way.
Is life like that for you? Do you have a song or a book that you were obsessing over when you were younger but can barely remember?
That's all for now, I need to get back to my science assessment, about the Skylab in the 70's I think....not totally sure.

I can't focus on school
Hey guys.
Do you ever have days where you can't focus on school? Well, that's me. today. I went to do my theory test for my learner's permit for a moped and I passed, but I have to wait until after dad gets back from work in order to start to learn to drive. It is so annoying. I just want to learn to drive but dad is at work. I wish I could have done this on the weekend, but of course, it wasn't open on the weekend so I couldn't. I have read through the back of it a million times. I want to get out there but I can't.
Well that's all

Not being fake.
Hey all. Sorry I haven’t written for a while. I haven’t even written any of my stories. Which is odd for me. I have planned one of my new stories and read so many books...okay ill stop making excuses.
So I was watching Youtube as I tried to go to sleep (didn't work as I'm now writing this) and I come to this video where its different girls doing things to their hair (curling it, different hairstyles, etc) and I saw that almost every one of these girls had a lot of makeup on. Now I'm not saying that's bad or anything, but I believe it would have taken some of these girls around an hour or more just to do the makeup (not the video). I never believed in that. I grew up in a house where I couldn't wear makeup out of the house (unless it was for an important occasion like a dance concert or something like that) until I was 14. 14! I'm almost two years older and I still only wear makeup for dance. I suppose that also some of my dad talking. He hates makeup and I may have taken that attitude, but I don't think it's a bad one. Girls need to be comfortable with how they look like. I am, but that is after a couple of years experimenting with different hair colours (sue me, I'm a daredevil).
I suppose it is the environment that you grow up with as well. I have heard of some people who started to wear makeup out of the house when they were under 10. Girls need to know that they are beautiful the way they are, not the way they look like after an hour or two prepping for an event. I heard a song once, it's called A More Beautiful You by Jonny Diaz (link below). The music video for it is basically 2 girls getting ready for a photo shoot (hair and makeup) and then editors editing the photo so that it would be impossible for the girls to actually look like that (bigger eyes and things like that). I'm pretty sure that what they do with actual photo shots. It's impossible to be like the girls in the magazine. It isn't even physically possible.
Did you know that if Barbie was actually a real-life girl her whole body would be out of whack? It's just small things like what we look like and what we played with (come on, I'm not the only one who loved to play with barbies) that make us come up with impossible expectations for how we should look. So how about we just stop all that and be real for a second.
No one, nobody how hard they might try, can be the world's definition of perfect. I mean if the world has standards that are like Barbie and the impossible photo shoots outcomes, then no way. My mum said that a day or two ago. That if a girl isn't comfortable with who she is around other people, then she is insecure, and I think that is true. I have been insecure before, I mean I can't not be insecure, which being the youngest and everything. But we have to rise above that and believe that we a perfect the way we are. That doesn't mean we can't work to change the way we are, but just don't have something impossible in mind.
Well, that's all.

Jesus sitting at God's right hand side.
Hey guys, sorry I haven't written in a while. I have been busy with school and work. I have 6 assessments due in the next 3 weeks. So I don't have much time on my hands right now. And I'm reading more than....wait I was reading more a month ago. Don't mind me. XD
The reason that I am writing this post is that I was reading the bible last night, Hosea. I know the story of Hosea from a movie but I have never actually read the book.
In chapter two, it starts out saying about how God would punish Israel for worshipping other gods but then at the end, it says that he will undo all that he has done to Israel and forgive them. I thought about that and figured that if God could forgive Israel for worshipping other gods (something that he said was like adulty) he could forgive anyone for everything, and he did when he forgave Jesus.
Jesus took all of the sins of the world and died on the cross. He didn't have to do that, Jesus chooses to die in our place so that we don't have to go to hell if we believe in God and asks him to forgive us. And then God forgave Jesus for all the sin in the world and brought him back to life. And Jesus is still alive today sitting at God's right-hand side
Anyway, that is all I have to say today.

I GOT A MOPED!
Hey guys...
So I brought something today, you may have guessed what it is. Yep, a moped. I can't drive it until next month but I still got it. I like to be prepared, even though in my writing I like to make things up as I go. I need to get insurance and everything. I already got a cover. Mum made me get that not even an hour after I brought it but still. It's nice to know that you have something that is completely yours. And I'm not talking about a laptop or a phone.
Mum went crazy and told basically everybody she knew (even an old teacher of mine). She would tell the whole world if she can (she can't unless she has a blog of her own, in which case she can. But I would know if she had a blog right? right?) Anyway, she does that a lot. I know that she is just proud of me but come on, I need my privacy.
I can't really believe that they would allow me to get my licence when I'm only fifteen and a half (I'm a month away from that sadly). I mean come on. The USA lets 14-year-olds drive a moped and I can't even believe that. I was so stupid when I was 14 (I would possibly say that when I'm 16 about being stupid at 15). But I guess I do have a job, and I need some get some responsibility somehow.
Well that's all I got for now. Talk later.
