The Funny Thing about Love

 The Funny Thing about Love

Love may be the only reason several people are still alive today. That is mainly because it's the one thing that keeps us going. Everyone is surrounded by people they admire. Waking up in the morning, and knowing there are people out there who you love is one of the greatest feelings ever. One common obstacle many teenagers face is that love does not always go their way. As you grow older, you will fall in love many times until you find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. You start to realize that everything is clearer when you're in love. "The funny thing about love, it never makes sense it just keeps messin you up. Let it go never want it back. you turn around and just like that, you swear you can't get enough. That's the funny thing about love".This is a quote from one of my favorite songs(Funny Thing about Love by Lauren Alaina). It says that love will drag you all over the place. You will do things you regret, but after all, love is all about taking risks isn't it?

"It makes you crazy, it will make you do the stupidest stuff. you can't live without it, that's the funny thing about love". This is another line from the song.It says that love causes a lot of problems. Although it causes you a lot of stress, you want to keep going, because you just can't get enough of what it has to offer. Teenagers these days fall in and out of love. This is because it's very easy to love alone. The person you want rarely ever wants you back. Or sometimes, the problem is wanting two people at the same time, or being what we call today as "friend-zoned." The fact that that one person will never like you back, no matter how much useless crap you do for them can be really depressing. You try so hard just to get their attention, but never get a response.

 Having met some friends online, I know a few people who have some problems with life, and a lot of it is due to love. It can do terrible things to people. It causes cutting, depression, and a lot of other problems. But they don't give up, simply because love is not something you can control. The message I am trying to send here, is just hold your head up high, because one day we will all figure out the true meaning of that word. If anyone fails to realize how amazing they are because of love, they are chasing the wrong person. Never tell yourself you're not good enough for anyone, because the truth is, if someone fails to realize how much you love them, they're the one not good enough. Never settle for less than you deserve, and never fall for someone who isn't worth it. Just remember that Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes... just be an illusion.

The Beauty of Dreams

 The Beauty of Dreams

 Roosevelt once said "The Future Belongs to those who Believe in the beauty of their dreams." This is one quote I live by. Growing up, I have always considered myself a dreamer rather that a realist. Many people would define a dream as something different. I would define it as reaching beyond the walls of perception for something you are very passionate about. I, however am in very enraged in singing, or music in general. As an eight year old, I would often enjoy listening to the music that children of that age would listen to. One singer, that appealed to me back then was Hannah Montana(Miley Cyrus).I looked at Miley as an idol back then, as I grew an obsession to her music, while singing it everywhere I went. As I went on singing her melodious tunes, I realized that I actually had some sort of talent in that field. At that point, it didn't matter to me how good I was. I just loved it so much, that it was all I ever used to do. Everyday, I used to lock myself in my bedroom and sing my heart out, regardless of what I was singing. Up to this point, singing has gotten me through so much, and it has brought be so many places. I am beyond grateful to what it has done to me as a person. It taught me the value of dreams.

 Well back then, I had a huge dream of becoming a disney channel star. A lot has changed since then. That dream changed several times, but all rooted from the same concept. And that would be to share my love of music to the world.It has eventually led up to what it is today. About three years, I started watching the popular reality television show, American Idol. Last year, one particular contestant stepped out of that show who greatly inspired me. Her name is Lauren Alaina. Watching her on the show had made me love Idol even more. She has inspired me to audition for the show next year, as I turn 16. I have always dreamed of performing infront of millions of people, but the idol stage is one place where I would love to stand on one day. Someday, I hope all my tears and hard work will pay off and will achieve this dream someday. But if it does not happen, I will still continue to believe in myself. After all, it's what I love more than anything in the entire world, and I will continue doing it as long as I live. But anyways, the whole point I'm trying to make here by telling you this story, is to reach for your dreams and always have faith in yourself. Throughout this experience, an uncountable number of people have told me that I am not going to be able to do it, simply because it's too big of a dream. But you know what? If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough. And these are the type of people who need to see the world from a different perspective, and realize it's ok to step away from reality sometimes. But anyways, just keep on living, and dream big. it'll get you places.
