Red Bull and Tonsillitis (and the blog I promised)

Alright world. Here it is. I promised a new blog awhile back, and didn't hold my end of the bargain. So now that I am hyped up on Red Bull and the medicine I'm taking for my tonsillitis, you get the aforementioned blog. Enjoy :)


Making yourself happy might be one of the most important things in the world. I have spent most of my life pleasing others and making sure they were happy. It wasn't until recently that I realized that the only way I can get through this crazy life is to be content with my surroundings. So I did a little housekeeping and removed the things in my life that were disturbing the peace. In place of these things, I have added elements that make me happy. For example, my best friend Liz and I had a falling out. Since we have lost contact, I have spent more time with Nathan. I realized that he actually makes me really happy. He comes with little baggage and doesn't promote drama or stress. Because of this little change, I have become a much easier person to be around. I also stopped trying to please others. By only making decisions I feel are right for myself, I find that people respect me more.

Making this switch in my life has been the best thing I could have done for myself. I request it for anyone in need of a pick-me-up or a new start. Life is a bit different now, but I'm adjusting. I have new friends, and a new outlook on how life should REALLY be.
