It is so important to be grateful for what you have in your life. Be grateful for what you have right now, and you will simply be living a happier life. People that fill their lives with complaining, fill their lives with stress. We almost go through our day looking for things to complain about. Once you change that and have a positive outlook, lots of that stress will go away. Be grateful, positive, live in the now, because on a moments notice it can all be taken away. This took me a long

Thank you for taking the time to write me back. I read your letter several times, because the way my mind is set up, I’d be like,” mmmhmmm, yeah, sure. Is this sincere?” That’s those trust issues I have. That was the 1st time, and then the second time, I got something totally different from it. Then the 3rd time I was like,”yeah, he’s sweet, caring, and compassionate. AWWWW.” Those are qualities that I really like. I read it again once I came back home, just to refresh my mind, so I could

The 1996 film opens, famously, with a series of postulated choices—variables, essentially, in the delineation of identity and opposition.

Growing up, my life was never really considered easy. I had a mom in and out of drugs and a dad who was never there. It was always my brother and me against the world. Then 6th grade came and that school year is when my whole life changed just from one snapchat. That 10-second photo of a brown-eyed boy with dark fringed hair and a smile that lit the room up had me falling head over heels. As we started talking and getting to know each other was when I later found out he was 583 miles away at that

Growing up everyone had their favorites. They had their favorite food, favorite activity, favorite show, favorite people, and even a favorite place to go. Things were so much simpler as a kid because you did not have to worry about things since almost all decisions were made for you. Looking back at my childhood most memories I thought I had, have disappeared never to be seen again.

Storytelling is like opening a window to the mind of the listeners. Stories provide the chance to experience a wide variety of emotions without actually having to go through the situations in which you would feel them.

We barely managed to escape in time if it hadn’t been for Sophie I wouldn’t have made it. She pulled me through that leygate thing and we went from Ojai, California to the church of Sacré-Coeur in Paris, France. We ended up in a supply closet I figured there would be alarms but Flamel didn’t listen. As we frantically tried to find a way out he managed to set off two more alarms. As if things couldn’t get any worse this big creature made out of wax appeared. I believe Flamel called it a--a tulpa
