Aloha.

Hey folks. Soooo...this week, I'm babysitting lots of kids, having a bass lesson, it's Valentines day, Survivor's on (must watch), there's youth group, I have to do lots of school work and there's church on Sunday, followed by a birthday dinner for my mom at the grandparents' house.
So it's a pretty busy week and it hasn't even started yet! Also, I'm finished Planning 10 (which is a mandatory course out here). It's basically planning your future and all that jazz. Not all that interesting, but yeah. Anyways, I finished it with 100% so that's cool.
So, I'm writing a new story. I just started it on Friday. It'll either be really good, or production will stop when I'm sixty pages into it and realize that I have no idea where it's going. I'm not one for planning stories beforehand, so that's usually what happens. I only finished 2 of my stories...ever. And now that I look back on them, I realize that they weren't that great. But they were pretty good for my age.
ANYWAYS! So the story is about a girl who thinks everything is ugly and she can never see the beauty in anything. And it got me thinking that there are so many people like that! I know so many people who can't find the good things in life. Pessimists, yes. But also really shallow and misguided. I hate it! You'll be watching a movie and they'll say the stars are ugly because of a blemish or a little flab. Or walking down the street and they'll randomly point out someone who is not exactly glowing with good looks and they'll just laugh or say something incredibly mean. And ya know, I know that's kind of how the world is now, but it's horrible! And don't get me wrong I do it too sometimes without even noticing. And then I feel so horrible for thinking or saying something so shallow. People can't help how they look. And just because a tree is dead, that doesn't mean it's ugly.
I dunno...I could took about it a lot but I would probably end up repeating everything I already said, just saying it with different examples and such. All I'm saying is that everything has something beautiful about it and that it's important not to overlook that or you're gonna find yourself is a rather ugly place.

Okay... so I'm gonna go now because I feel like it. Have a nice day.
