I just wanted some fucking cake. You know how society loves telling us that we can all change our lives in a moment? Act now! Today is your day! Carpe diem! It’s like one, twenty second decision can take whatever shit life you had and make it amazing: you’ll get the job you’re not qualified for, or the girl who’s way out of your league, or you’ll win the lottery the first time you buy a ticket... Well, I had one of those. Like all good stories, it begins with a best friend taking a chance on a girl who never gave him one. My life was a John Hughes movie. If John Hughes was an asshole, and it wasn’t a film, and the guy actually didn’t get the girl in the end because it turns out he was just the quirky best friend all along. But I’m getting ahead of myself here. There are some things you should know. I’m the man of honor and the hopeless romantic, but the man you’ve read about; the one who overcomes all of the odds and gets the girl. This story does have one of those, though, and his name is Edward. Not Ed, never Eddie, and he does not appreciate any jokes of the Twilight variety. He has one those chin dimples, and when he laughs, he inhales more than exhales. I guess he makes her happy enough. Eddie remembers all the important dates and brings her these gargantuan flowers that no twenty-something’s apartment can actually fit comfortably. He also hates me, so I keep our interactions to a minimum. I will not anger the beast. Then there’s Sarah. She’s got those eyes
Change in our lives is a part of living. Without change we would no be here today living as successfully as we are. People don?t always see changes in their life as for the best, but usually when people see through the

Romantic relationships are great, you are with the one person who truly understands you and there is no greater feeling. Lucy and Ed are trying to make a romantic relationship work but they didn’t start it with honesty. “Lying isn’t my idea of romance”. Lucy and Ed began their relationship based on lies.

As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change toward him… We need not to see what others do.” (Mahtma Ghandi) A quote that I found online from the New York Times, which states that it is up to the individual to make a difference in our own world view. So it is up to us to help save what our ancestors and elders have protected since the time of
The story begins with introducing Greg’s school life, his goal in high school is not to make any friends so he can’t be judged, criticized, and disliked. Greg is also insecure about himself which is stopping him from being truly alive. Greg only has one friend in school named Earl Jackson, another senior at his school which they share the love of filmmaking and they make shorts about their favorite movies. But Greg and Earl never show any of their films to anyone.
So people have been given the chance to change but some don’t change, example in Christmas Carol Scrooge changes he becomes giving instead of grochey. So if Mr. Scrooge can change then I think everyone can change for the better. Because everyone is capable of changing they just need to try. Some people try but they are worried about change. Some people don’t really care they just want to become a better person.
Society is a pile of puzzle pieces that cannot fit together. Every single individual has their own say and point of view. But, can one individual change what everyone thinks? Or, is this just another dent in the barrier? An individual's voice can have an impact, but it cannot change society.
Way, she encourages the reader to appreciate the strength of their love and how their friendship was a lot deeper than a sexual attraction.
Mahatma Gandhi, a famous and well-respected world leader, once said, “We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change.” Gandhi simply says that the change starts with you. Kenner contributed a great

When there’s a problem in society taking action is imperative to resolving it. Without taking action, the problem will continue and could spiral out of control. It’s common for people to have the mindset that it’s up to others to take action, or that they won’t make a difference. However, the reality is that the ones who can get past this mindset are the ones who eventually change the world. Lack of action is worse than most negative traits, such as greed and overconfidence, because it’s possible to reduce these negative traits that are plaguing our society by taking action.
Oliver Arnaldo, although genuinely kind, hit everything. He’d beat anything to the pulp on uncontrollable impulse, it wasn’t his fault, he was ill. Oliver walked through a field of flowers one morning because enjoyed the light grazes of soft petals against his skin as he walked beneath the warmth of the sun. Oliver found a girl in pink dress smelling the flowers one by one as if each had an individual scent and character. Their eyes met and anyone who witnessed it knew it was love. The forces of their unexplainable passion drew them closer and Oliver began to be excited. Soon they stood a foot away from each other and Oliver wanted to explode. I’LL MARRY HER he thought. She gave him a pleasant smile and Oliver was about to speak until he realized
It is believed that in order to change people, you have to change the way that the think.
Everybody at some point in their life has wanted to make a change, hopefully for the better. For most, it can take some serious self discipline to actually put these changes into full force. Here’s a proposition: take the time out of the day to sit down and actually think about the outcomes of the problem, and then decide if it’s worth going through the motions to make that change. Because everyone on this earth has a given amount of time everyday, no one can use the excuse that they don’t have the time of day; that’s bullshit. Yes, some may have a busy schedule but you have breaks throughout the day. May it be the required break they get from work, the commute from school to home, or when they’re alone with their thoughts at night;
