Being yourself

Being your self no matter what? oh gosh that's hard! I think I finally started being my self no matter where I am or who I'm with. this has been a big step for me. I have always felt like I'm one person at gymnastics, one person at school, one person at church,one person at speech and debate. That is like 4 different people I am! That isn't very healthy. Yet it's something almost everyone will go through before they are grown, most will fight it for the rest of their life too. about 3 months ago I finally figured out who I am. Now that person isn't going to be some one realllly smart, realllly athletic, or realllly artsy. I am all of those things wrapped in one, I'm not really good at any of them but put a little of each together and that's me! Yesterday 2 of my best friends were declared speech captains for our club. It's really hard not to be jealous because I have done speech longer than both of them. But one thing they don't know is I'm the captain of my gymnastics team. If I step back and look I would prefer to be the captain of gymnastics more than the speech team. First thought I would rather do it for speech because that's where most of my friends would see that I'm good at something, but stepping back that's not what I should care about. I would make a much better gymnastics captain than a speech captain. I'm ok with being my self now and doing what I do for me to please God and not other people and trying to impress others. because I would never survive my life if I tried to conform to what others think. I'm happy just being me and by being me its being what God wants me to be. Yes I do care about what my close friends think, because their opinion often reflects what God's oppion of me is. But other than that I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK! lol and oh gosh it's so nice knowing that I only have to please God and not everyone else! lol
ok so I'm done rambling on.... lol ya NIGHT!!!

Sarah this is great for you I'm really happy for you!
I've never really had a problem being myself, and I never really change if I'm hanging out with certain people, But I have noticed that not everyone likes that and some people don't exactly LIKE me, But I've just always said Oh well It doesn't matter because if they don't like ME they wouldn't be good friends anyways!
I love you Sarah!

I think some of the best parts about you are how versatile you are. I love your spunk and strength and creativity and intelligence. You wouldn't be you if you were just one thing. And we love you when you're just yourself. I do think sometimes we respond differently to different settings, but that doesn't always mean we aren't being ourselves. There are people that bring out my humor and people that bring out my more serious side, but both are me, you know? I think I'm more playful with my writer friends than my homeschool friends. I don't know why. It just comes out that way because of the dynamics of the relationship.

Harry Potter

You have all at least heard of the Harry Potter books.... if not......... I'll give you a little of the story line...... Harry Potter was just a baby when the most powerful wizard killed his mom and dad and tried to kill him, but for some reason the little baby got away with only a scar on his forehead. Now this was unheard of, if this guy wanted you dead then you would be dead. Through out all the books he is questioning why did this have to happen? Why me? Why can't I just be normal and have my parents? In the long run he ends up saving his school, his friends, his teachers, and in a few ways he saves the world. It was all because of what happened when he was little.... if he was normal, if he did have his parents, if he didn't have amazing and unusual talents because of the scar (kinda), he would not have been able to stand up and save him self and all these people. So why the heck did I just say all that? Because I often ask God why? why me? Why can't I just be lik

Breath

When I was writing this it was for my poetry class but every time I read it it reminds me of my friend Jennie! It's just sooo her! So ya I think I might start posting my poems that I write for home work if ya'll don't mind :) love ya! *Breath * The grass tickles my feet. The mud squishes between my toes. A branch brushes my cheek. The water rushes at my ankles. The sun shining hot through the trees, hot on my head. Cool, fresh spring breeze waves my hair. The sweet smell of the flowers in my hair catch on the air. A bird sings, A woodpecker pecks, A bug buzzes. Just standing there. Soaking it all in. It’s barely different now, Than when I was three. The only thing changed in this forest is me.
