True Beauty :]

Have you ever been one of those people that think they want to look just like the people on the billboards or TV? Well, let me just tell you they’re a lot put into making a person look that way. You should embrace how you look because it is unique and beautiful. (: Dove made a commercial to show mainly teenage girls what they really do to make stars look as good as they do. I hope you realize from this video that they aren't made that way it takes hours and hours to put that make up on and do the hair. Here is the video :

I got it from YouTube!

Jobs, everything from applications to handling work!

Have you been job searching yet? Well, I have and let me tell you it is hard especially during the winter since that is a lot of places "slow" season. Right now, I have a job, but it is not going too well for me. So I went out and got a lot of job applications. I have about 5 of them. They take forever to fill out. Honestly, if you want to make a good impression on a place with your job application is to be honest about everything! I mean it; they look for good honest nice people to work because who wants someone that is going to be rude to everyone?? Also, it's really good to have good references. References are people that they possibly call and talk to them about your strengths and weaknesses. Always pick out job application where you would be proud to say you work there. If you get a job and managers or people are giving you a hard time at work just ignore them and try to keep the job. Everyone needs money! Jobs can be very stressful. They can schedule you on days you told him you can't work or just don't give you any hours. Don't let it bug you. It will all get better in time, but if it doesn't you or your parents call in and talk to someone like a store manager. I hope this will help! Thanks. (:

Quote of the Week! : )

"People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges."

                                                                                                 - Joseph F. Newton Men

Some people wonder why they are alone. There are many reasons for this. The reason in this quote is that people build walls and not bridges. Most of you probably already know what this quote means. For those of you who don't, I'm going to give you my explanation to have a better understanding of the quote.

What does it mean to build walls? Ask yourself about what walls are made to do. They are made to keep things out and to protect what is inside the walls. When you are building walls, you are putting up barriers that doesn't allow people to get close to you. You don't let them know what is in your head, what you are thinking, or even feeling. Also, you could even keep yourself from getting too close to people. Basically, you are keeping a distance between you and others. Why do some people do this? To prevent themselves from getting hurt. Now, what would it mean to build bridges? What do bridges do? They allow things to cross over them, so they can get from one side to the next. When someone does this, they are are allowing themselves to get close to someone, and they are allowing someone to get close to them. So, according to the quote, why are people lonely? They are lonely, because they distance themselves from people and don't let them in with their emotions.

Now that I have explained that a little, I have a question for you. Do you know anyone that builds walls and not bridges? Do you yourself do this? I know someone that does it. They are an awesome person, but fights tend to occur often between them and others. The fights sometimes happen because of misunderstandings. This person will not let people in, and he won't tell them his feelings. Sometimes, people have to know your feelings so they can understand your actions and your point of views. Because he holds it in, it causes his girlfriend not to feel close to him. She wants him just to open up to her. So, if you are like this, I have one piece of advice. Just plain out open up. Take a chance and let it out. You can't keep yourself in a shell forever. If you feel you can trust somebody, then let them in. Don't be afraid. If someone screws you over, then that's something you can learn from. You will start figuring out the type of people you can or can't trust. Good luck to you, and I hope this has helped you with a better view.
