I Don't Like This World We Live In

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.

Fish climbing a tree

Hey guys. I'm back once again.

If you are anything thing like me; you don't really like school. I just finished a science lesson about menstruation. I mean; I'm fifteen. My mum went over that with me when I was like thirteen. I really didn't need to learn about it again. But I just that's the problem about staying down a year at school. You learn things a year too late. Most of the time. I barely understand math as it is, I can't deal with year 10 maths. Or even science come to think of it. Both are just boring. I wish I could just learn how to write. That's what I want to do with my life. Which is why I read most of the time I'm guessing.

I have wanted to be a lot of things in my life. A dancer, a vet, a firefighter, police officer, hairdresser and finally a writer. I'm already a reader so I don't need to add that to the list thankfully. In the olden days, it wasn't mandatory to go to school. You could and most children did but if you didn't want to be a doctor, a scientist, a lawyer and all the other things, you didn't have to.

Albert Einstein said, "Everyone is a genius, But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

And that's true. Not everyone is a genius in the classroom (believe me I'm not) but everyone is a genius. I mean, a fish can't even come onto land, let alone climb a tree, but it can swim in the water, it can make friends with sharks (excuse me, have you seen Finding Nemo?) and so many other things that we can fully comprehend (or maybe not, like I said, I'm not a genius in the classroom).

Anyway, I just wish I didn't spend half my time on something that I will possibly never think about again. Unless it's with my dad, we talk so much and most of it is about science and theoretically things that may happen in the future (like a machine that could make you disappear and then reappear, and maybe even in a different time slot) (IT COULD HAPPEN, don't ask me how I have already forgotten half the conversation).

Anyway; what did you want to be when you were a kid.

Being who you are

Hey, guys, I'm backkkkkkkk!

Anyway, I'm always having trouble being who I am, not who people want me to be. I have a big family; and when I say my last name, nearly everyone in the town that I live knows the family that I am a part of. My mum says that is because we are well liked, and I believe that's true but it also puts pressure on me. My sisters are known to be good workers and they are and I feel like I should be up there with them. I am trying my hardest to be as well (I just got my first job) but it's hard to measure up to where my sisters are. I know that they have more experience but still.

I don't want to be in any of my sibling's shadow, but being the youngest of my family, that is a little be hard. Everyone knows my last name but I feel like few knows my first. It could also be because I don't really get out in town and make a name for myself. I'm trying to do that. I'm trying to show that I'm like my siblings in some ways but not every way.

Some of my siblings drink or do drugs. I won't do either of them. And I don't really want to be known as the sister of people who do that. But I can't really change my family.

I am being my own person though. I dress the way I want to, not the way my sisters want me to; trust me it's hard when you have so many girls breathing down your neck to dress differently. But I have been doing it for so long they barely bother me now, thankfully. Which is good, I don't really don't like the way they dress (no offence sisters).

I'm getting used to knowing that most people know who my family is if it is only the last name. I mean I can't change it. And I don't really want to change it. Even as annoying as my family is, I love them. I know that at least one of them will be there for me when I need them, even if it's a parent or a niece or nephew (trust me I have heaps of those).

That's all for now.

Welcome to ME!

Hey everyone.

So this is my first time starting a Blog. And I have no idea what to do. I kinda want it to be like Girl Online. Have you read it? Anyway if you haven't, it's about a girl who blogs online under the name Girl Online. It's by Zoe Slugg and I have read it a couple of time and I should read it again soon, but then again, I have a million books on my bookshelf that I should read again but I never do. I mean that is the life of a reader, rereading their favourite books and just forgetting about the books they just enjoyed. Not that I can really forget books...Wait there is one book that I read when I was younger that I really want to read again but I don't know the name or the author. I forgot that but I still remember the details. It'is about a girl in an orphanage I believe. She goes to a circus and then there was a fire and she becomes blind but then her sight is restored about some challenges. If any of you know the name or think you do, please tell me. I'm going crazy thinking about it and it's not fun.

You must think that I am a bookworm...well you're wrong. I am a bookdragon, its higher than a bookworm.

I don't always spend time reading, I write a lot. I have an account on Wattpad where I publish some of my stories. They don't get heaps of reads but I'm glad that I can share them with the world. And I'm doing a challenge. It's called the 100 for 100 and Go Teen Writers put it on. We are like over 60 days into it and it is so much fun. It is a little hard remembering to write every day though.

I also watch movies/tv shows a lot. I have so many favourites that I can't even name one because they all have a fair space in my life *cough The Dragonites cough* Sorry I don't know what is wrong with me. Anyway. I have binge-watched so many series on Netflix or via library or civic video that I don't know where to start!

I also ride horses. Well, I'm learning to. I'm not that great seeing as I just starting this year but I LOVE it.

I guess that's it.
