I Can Hear It In The Music

  Today, I would like to talk about music. I know that everyone just loves there music. Taylor Swift sure knows how to write a love song, breakup song, and whatever song. Lil Wayne knows how to rap. Beyonce went from singing a Christian song, called "He Still Loves Me", to being involved in songs that have inappropriate lyrics and videos, like "Video Phone" and "Telephone". I am a Christian, and most Christians are taught that the devil was once in charge of music. This is how he reaches out and grabs people, especially young minds. The music you listen to can affect you. The more you listen to angry music, the more you will probably be in a bad mood. I mean, it doesn't make sense that you would be in a good mood if you always listen to angry music. When you listen to sad music, you may get the emotions of sadness. The same concept goes when you listen to perverted music, you may start thinking or talking pervertedly. I do not find nasty music or content funny at all. Most people would say, "I just like the beat to it", or "I want to listen to GOOD music". There is a way for you to listen to music you like and not listen to ones that are inappropriate. Just try monitoring what you listen to. I once read somewhere that the more you watch sex on tv, the more likely you were to go out and have sex yourself. That fact right there shows that people really need to start monitoring themselves. 

Simple tip #5

When you see an old person, always go up to them and see if they need your help. This will show character and will probably make you feel really good about yourself. They may even give you money or food. It's just a nice thing to do. So try it sometime and see how it makes you feel.

How to balance school and a job?

I just started my first ever job, I was so excited until the pressure came on to me about havin a job, school, homework, & other activies. I start driving school soon & I am in FCCLA. It can be a lot for one person to handle. You might think you can't get anything done with a job so why don't you just quit? That question should not enter your head, you should try to stay postive with every experience and situation you have in your life. Here are some tips to get you through a busy school & work day:

1. Relax. Just keep calm about stuff going on in your life. Maybe take a hot bath? read a book? or catch up on some sleep you have missed?

2. Vent. Vent to one of your family members I would chose either an older sibling or parent cause they would know what you are going through. Your family will be there to listen and give you advice.

3. Try to do the best you can at your work or school. Even when you are stressed out big time, don't give up. Keep a smile on your face even when you feel that the tears are coming on.

4. Pray. The best thing you can do for yourself is pray. Pray that God makes you stronger to get through your day.


Try these out & lets me know how they go! (:

How Do You Cheat A Cheater?

I was thinking of a new blog post and the title "How Do You Cheat A Cheater?" popped into my head. I'm not exactly sure what I will write about so let's see where we end up. In my whole dating life, I haven't exactly been cheated on except once. I have had boyfriends of mine talk to other girls about how they like them or would like to hook up with them. What I hate the most about it all is that I had to hear it from a lot of different girls and not my boyfriend. One time, someone was trying to help me while I was crying and they asked me, "how does all of this make you feel Annie?". At the moment, I kind of felt numb. I didn't know what to say to them because I was between the states of disbelief and confusion. Have you ever been in a situation where your boyfriend or girlfriend has cheated on you? How did you find out? I just want you to know that it is never right for someone to cheat on you. Even if they claim you are a bad boyfriend or girlfriend, it still doesn't make it right for them to cheat on you. I understand that some cheating cases are worse than others based on the severity of what the person did when they cheated. Do you know anyone that has been cheated on? Maybe you have seen a movie on television where someone was being cheated on. I want you to put yourself in their postition and answer the question my friend asked me. Also, I do believe it is wrong if you date, kiss, flirt, or anything along those lines and above with someone that is dating someone already. If they are with someone, they have an invisble sign on them that says "hands off".

Simple Tip #4

So never go up to a girl when you know you did something wrong. It will just turn out bad. I did it one time and got kicked and smacked right were it hurts. So just don't do it.

Poem of the Week #1 : Growing Up

Life is so easy
when you are young.
When kisses heal boo-boos
and lullabies are sung.
It seemed that life could go on for years,
as long as the nightlight was there
to quiet our fears.
Why does growing uphave to be so hard?
When did the world become
bigger than our own back yard?
There is no more recess
to stop the stress of the school day.
There are no more falling stars
that can take our worries away.
Decisions are more complicated
now that we are grown,
                                                   why cant we go back
                                                    to when life was our own?

Poem of the Week #2 : Teen Years

Everyone tells you,
they're the best years of your life.
The thing they don't tell you,
is they are all full of strife.

From a child to a teen,
in less then a year.
It's a lot to deal with,
you have to grow up fast.

As a child you're free,
as a teen you feel locked up.
A child has no worries,
A teen has a lot.

You learn the meaning of love,
you discover broken hearts.
The worries of being accepted,
are the hardest part of all.

What's the "best"
about these years.
When as a teen,
you live in fear.
