TRUTH.. one of the most important qualities to have. I believe that truth really shows a persons true self, henceforth.. true=truth. When one tells the truth in situations, they do good not only for the ones they are being honest with, but also for themselves. When you don't tell the truth on matters, you usually end up with guilt and anger. You feel guilty because you KNOW you lied and you KNOW it wasn't what you should have done and may then regret it. You feel angry because you are now mad at yourself for being dishonest and because you think you can't take back the lie or you will look like a booby! Well, this is false! Although, you most likely will still look like a booby, telling the truth is always the best method. Not only does it let the true facts be known, causing less drama and mishap, it also allows you to have less guilt and anger because you know you have done the right thing. Therefore, telling the truth is the best and most effective way for anything. I've had my fair share of lying and believe me, I have definately learned my lesson. It may have been worth it to me at the time, but now that I look back, I now know it was not. Things would have been a lot less complicated and troublesome for me and the people surrounding me if I would have just used the truth. Of course, I may not have been able to do as much.. I still believe that if I would have been honest, then I would have gained more trust. And trust is the key to any relationship in any way, shape, or form.



FRIENDSHIP.. Who is anyone without friends? Friends are the key to happiness. They give you companionship when you are lonely, they make you laugh when you are crying, happy when you are sad. They are always there for you. At least true friends are. For the friends I have kept over the years, I know that NOTHING could ever replace them. I like knowing that they will always be there. They help you through times of need and despair, breakups, family problems, personal issues.. you name it. They are the one's you have fun with, spend lots of time with, and makes great memories you'll never forget. Friends help you overcome the worlds problems and still allow you to be you. Whether your feeling goofy, or depressed, you know you can always be yourself around them. They will not judge you in ways overs would, and will not talk about you in ways that would hurt you. If it weren't for friends, I would not be who I am today. I can remember when I was young, I had no friends when I moved to Missouri. I was so depressed and lonely until 6th grade when people I had known for 2 years finally started talking to me. I slowly came out of my shell and became a much happier and fun loving person. It only takes 1 person to live but it takes at least 2 to live right.






UPDATES ON MY LIFE.

Well I just got back from Washington D.C. It was amazing.. I felt so alive there. And so historical. You never really think about where our country came from and who helped make it what it is today. I am so grateful for everything that past generations made possible. It made me realize that there is more out there. Compared to other places I have been, it has so much more meaning. When i was walking around downtown, so small next to the huge old and awesome buildings, I thought to myself.. "How could anyone have attempted to destroy this." It would have been so tragic. When your there, you feel so rejuvented it seems. Seeing all the memorials and monuments and all the people paying their respects. Being there made me feel very ambitious. It would be so cool to work in Washington and walk around such an amazing environment (even though its like the 2nd most aids infested city in the US i think). Besides seeing the monuments and such, we went to the smithsonian museum of air & space. It was quite amazing itself. There are so many museums located in DC its crazy. I can't wait to move close to DC. I think it will be a once in a lifetime opportunity that will make life definately worth living.
