Where I Would Live

    I can describe myself as a lover of the ocean, clear/ natural sand, and sunlight. Myrtle Beach is gorgeous, I love visiting my family over there. It has a beautiful scenery mostly every place I go. I feel as if it is a very bright, upbeat place where humans 20s- late 20s can really enjoy their "young adult" stage. I can honestly say that visiting the beach everyday will be a priority just because it brings me a sense of peace and relaxation. If I move there with whomever I have my future with, I think that it will be the best experience for me, and a huge privilege to spend it there with someone I love. They have adorable, roomy condos in which I would enjoy living in. Myrtle Beach is packed with family attractions (just in case I have little children with me), exciting theater shows and endless restaurants (it seems). One of the websites for Myrtle Beach states that they get over 14 million visitors a year! That is a crazy number. But if I like it so do a ton of other people. My family and myself have visited twice but I swear I am in love with it. The last time I went was July of 2012, while I was there I was actually in a all natural photo shoot and I have posted some with this post. Myrtle Beach is truly a place I would consider moving to after I graduate high school.

No Title

    I get disappointed every day my friends, people that I don't even know even tend to bring me down. It has to be the worst feeling ever. What hurts the most, is when I fool myself. Sometimes I hurt myself because I try to fight for things I want, but I know that it is impossible to win. A movie I saw recently called The Last Samurai really inspired me. In the end of the movie the characters Katsumoto and Captain Algren were fighting against the enemy, they knew that they would be defeated- what mattered was that although they knew, they kept enduring the fight until they felt like they have done all they could. After this battle the enemy took off their hats and saluted Katsumoto, because although he was shot numerous times he asked for help to stand up stare at the flowers that represented his country and then stabbed himself to death. His last words were, "They are all... Perfect." After fighting against people who hated him, he then gained their respect because of the fight he endured and the strength he put up for his people. It is awe-inspiring to reflect on the self sacrifice of people from all nations. I hate no one from other countries, to me, there is no reason to. People around the world fight back because they are fighting for their people. But what if, I shall go to war, to fight for my people yet my sister or brother are apart of a war in a different place. It comes to the point where we shall fight, unaware that a family member of mine is fighting against me. So I fight, and I kill but I come across them and our eyes steal each others sight. Suddenly I have a problem killing for my people because I would never kill my sister nor my brother. Now, people matter only because it will hurt my heart if they died. Then I feel selfish. Everyone is different yet we all share similar emotions, and I have heard that opposites attract. So why do different people hate each other, and people that act the same seem to have a closer bond? These subjects confuse me...

What Others Would Do

 This is a video I made of my family/friends stating what they would do in their lives.
What others would do.
I really have come to appreciate my life and others lives on a different level. I seen throughout this project that no matter how old one is everyone will always have a place in this world to help someone else out. It has been fun opening others minds' and listening to their desires.

The Bible

    No matter whos it is, no matter how it is written, a bible is a bible and tries to get its' morals across. My favorite book is The Bible, the best inspiring stories come from it. I can relate to it, everyday, at any time, under any circumstance. The Bible is special to me, because it is what made my family my grandparents, my great grandparents, and majorly close friends- who they are today. Granted, we do not always follow its' council but that is only because we can not. We are imperfect, God knows this. I believe that it is the effort that counts. No one I have ever met was purely evil, they always had a reason. Whether it was the way they grew up to the way people mistreated them, they never acted unjustly and tried to give any other excuse. One scripture that has really opened my eyes and screamed out to me was James 1:22 which says "Become doers of the word, not only hearers." This means that we can listen all we want, but without applying the direction to our daily life, it will just go in one ear and out the other. My past was not based on following the scriptures, right now, I am trying. Although, my future is definitely relying on it and my faith to help me follow my dreams.
