This is posted above my desk at work.
I see it daily.
I feel like today is one of those days where I must follow this religiously.
It’s been a rough year, but nothing more than what can teach me to be stronger. Every breath holds the ability to grasp hold of you and teach you something through different eyes that you have never seen before.
My mother always said that life is what you make it, and no one can bring you down but yourself. It’s a lifetime of trials and tribulations to master the art of being completely in control of my surroundings without letting the actions of others control how I feel.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to be a robot of some sort, or some evil Queen of Hearts type character either…I just want to be…
Footloose and fancy free.

Season, Reason and Lifetime
You know, it's funny how you think someone is your best friend, your confident, and then it all blows up in your face.
It makes you think, "what happened in the events leading up to this?" "What went wrong?" and to be frank, I honestly don't know. If friends are true friends then they work through things, not get upset and declare the friendship "rightfully over" before even speaking to the other person about what is going on. That's NOT a friendship. Not at all.
To say I'm not hurt would be a lie. To say I don't care and that it doesn't break my heart would also be a lie. To say that I'm flat out numb and pissed couldn't be any more truthful than it comes.
A lot of things have happened. A lot of crap I have put myself through just to ensure YOUR happiness. Then when I'm obviously having some difficulties you leave me out in the cold? If after a 2 and a half year friendship you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
Too many times I've been betrayed by you. Too many disappointments and letdowns, but I sucked it up and moved on, yet I'm the selfish one?
You constantly begged me to skip class. I failed my final by default in December because you wanted me to come help with your wedding. I walked over a mile from Nate's apartment because you changed the plans last minute and I had no other way to work. We drove all the way to your sisters house for the super bowl just to have to turn around and go home because no one bothered to give us directions. I spent your entire wedding serving food, washing dishes and cleaning. I've talked you out of numerous attempts of ending your relationship with your husband. Or hurting yourself. I've attempted to convince you that everything would be okay EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. WE. TALKED. I missed my church because you wanted us to go to yours, but then when I invite you to mine you say you can't because the you're "disloyal" to your church. I let you sleep in my boyfriends bed because you were lonely. I've done things numerous times after work, with you know how exhausted I was, because you claimed that I hated you and I wanted to show you at that point in time you were my best friend. This list never seems to cease because I can think of at least fifteen more instances to name.
On another note, a thing that just blows my mind... We've discussed numerous times how a certain "friend" of yours really isn't a friend at all, and now that they're back in the picture you deem ME as the terrible friend? Yeah, okay.
Have you looked in the mirror. We ALL have faults, I'm not perfect, I never claimed to be perfect, but don't you DARE try and say you don't have any. I've sacrificed so much for a friendship that wasn't even a friendship according to you.
There are three types of friends.
Season, Reason and Lifetime.
Some friends are in your life for a season, they leave you just as quickly as they come in. Some friends are there for a reason, and when they leave you learn something from them, good or bad. This helps us to grow. And then there are those friends that are rare and hard to find. The ones that are there through the good and the bad, through thick and thin. When you find these friends you must hold onto them, cherish them and appreciate them, for God has blessed you with a very special gift.
/RANT OVER.

Day 5: About your friends. "It takes work."
Have you ever felt like the more you give, the more people take from you? I can say with great confidence that this is one of the worst feelings in the world. You give and give and give, your time, energy, thoughts, actions, and all people do is take and take and take, leaving with nothing in return. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that you should give something with the thought of assuming you deserve something in return, this isn’t necessarily what I mean. What I am attempting to say is that you can’t let people run over you and people shouldn’t think that just because you are always there mean they can take you for granted... I allow this to happen far more often than I should.
It down right sucks to be perfectly honest. I feel that I truly only have a very few number of real friends. I know ALL friends argue, and ALL friends have their disagreements, but when it happens with the same people over and over again, it just gets old and redundant. Backstabbing is something that truly shows the character of a person. Someone who gets mad at you for nothing is not a friend. Someone who automatically starts drama or yells at you is not a friend. Someone who is only your friend when they’re other friends are made at them isn’t a true friend. Someone is not your friend if they never take fault for ANYTHING, or automatically assumes that they are right and never in the wrong. Someone is not your friend if they are constantly belittling you to make themselves feel better, or use you to get things out of you. Someone is not a friend if they don’t know how to give space, or if they don’t understand that sometimes you just need a comforting word, or a hug and things will be so much better. That’s not written to anyone specifically, but if you feel as if you fall into one of those categories, maybe you should reevaluate your relationships and friendships.
Basically, why should you surround yourself by those who take you for granted?? That’s right, you shouldn’t! There’s no point in causing yourself that pain, because it’s merely self-inflicted if you sit there and stay with those who make you feel so poorly about yourself. (Same go to relationships…) You only have one life to live, and it most definitely shouldn’t be spent worrying about what those who dislike you have to say, or let their antics bother you. What they don’t realize is that they too are wasting their time. We have been blessed with one life to live, and spending it on such negative energy is just silly and unwanted.
I have told this to numerous people, I’m constantly telling people to look up in life, and that all that has passed has passed and we have a fresh start each day. The thing is, it’s so hard for me to take this advice. It takes work that’s a definite, but I’d rather put forth the effort to strive towards happiness than wallow in self-pity. Happiness is something that DOES TAKE WORK. I cry so much these days it’s insane. Like now, I don’t even know why I am crying, but here I sit in the booth as these tears are starting to seep from my eyes. My flaw is that I simply care too much. I really do want the best for everyone, and try my best to be a good friend, and then the people I care about the most are the people that hurt me the most. It’s been that way the majority of my life.
Now, I’m NOT saying that if you have an argument with a friend that you shouldn’t make up, for that’s simply not true. Forgiveness is something that I think all people need to have more of in their life, myself included. I am in no way innocent of anything I have discussed, and I don’t want people to assume that is what I’m saying, it’s simply not true. What I am saying though, is that we all shouldn’t be so quick to judge, angered if you don’t know what’s going on, or insensitive to someone’s pain. Or ban up against someone just because you like gossip, or like to be mad, or like to have something to do, that’s not a way to live.
All and all though, I suppose I can’t necessarily tell you HOW to live; I can just tell you my opinion of living. Everyone is going to make decisions for themselves, and I can’t do it for them. I guess all of this was just to help me get some of my thoughts out.
Shelby, I love you, and I just want you to know that I’m glad you’re my friend. You deserve so much more than what you receive sometimes, and you let things get to you too much as I do and I wish you didn’t. I don’t like it when you feel pain as similar to mine because no one deserves that.
Brittany, I don’t understand what’s going on with us, all I can say is you have your own life to live and I just want you to have the best. You know that I’m here for you always. Thank you for all you have done for me.
Sarah, you are such an amazing friend. I don’t know what I would do without you. You have the other half of my soul in the friend department. You’re there for me when no one else is. You’re the only one who understands how it feels to truly feel low and not know what to do to get out of it. I love you and I thank God to have you in my life.
Beth, I miss you so much. I can’t wait until you come here Saturday. It’s been far too long since I have seen you. You help remind me that one day I will defy gravity. This summer was definitely a summer of healing and I’m glad you were apart of that.
Rachel… you understand me and get me. You are my silly bwwwwwitch of a friend, and some of my best memories from the past two years have been with you. Let’s go make babies now. Haha just kidding!
I could go on for a very long time, but that will get me no where.
I leave you with this…
Today I was feeling extremely depressed.
I felt like no one cared about me or wanted to talk to me. I felt alone.
And then a random friend messaged me on Facebook.
He told me not to worry that everything would be okay.
Random reassurance at a time most needed, GMH.

Thirty day challenge FAIL
So it has been quite sometime since I have updated my blog, my life has become extremely intense here of late, so I took a small break. As I mentioned before this thirty day challenge was technically not written on a daily basis, but it's quite alright. I am also doing a version of the thirty day challenge on facebook, if you're interested in that I can link it to you.
I decided to do a different approach with my blog and relate a class assignment to the thirty day challenge. I suppose we will see how this goes.
Day 4: Something you hate.
There are a lot of things that could possibly fall into this category, such as, failure, low self-esteem, abuse... etc, but going back to the idea of attempting a different approach, I am going to talk about something very confrontational.
You want to know what I hate? The war on terrorism.
All that were alive and present in the United States were affected in one way or another by the terrorist attacks that transpired on September 11, 2001. Some would argue that the life shaping events initially brought the country together, forming unity that wasn't previously present. Strangers gathered in places to pray for the victims, all coming together for a greater cause. While some may say that even with this positive change for the country, the total outcome and result has undoubtedly become very negative for the country.
A decade has come and gone since the day four commercial air liners were skillfully flown in the the world-famous Twin Towers of downtown Manhattan's World Trade Center. As Hunter S. Thompson said in the article, "Fear and Loathing in America," of which he wrote only mere hours after this happenstance, the towers have been dimensioned and so has the hopes for peace in our time in the United States or any country.
I believe that although there was a time that all Americans feared and was afraid, but created unity with one another, that they have retreated back to the way the world was before the attack. The tragic events have faded to the back of most people's minds, and what they don't realize is that the inevitable war is still going on.
I also agree with Hunter S. Thompson's opinion in his article about his predictions regarding war. He believed that the war was going to be very expensive, he also stated that victory would not be guaranteed. The United States has been at war for such a long time, and sometimes it's hard to see that any changes have been made other than lives lost and money spent.
It's amazing to me that so much time has passed and yet it still hasn't been resolved. i feel as if we, as the United States, have gotten ourselves into an unwinnable battle.
In no way, shape, or form am I saying that I do not appreciate what every American soldier is doing, because believe me I do. I have nothing but respect for them, I just wish that we weren't losing so many of them due to something we have gotten in over our heads with.
Here is something for you to think about, we have gone too far with this war to quit now, but if we don't quit soon, how far will we allow our country to sink?
I leave you with....
"I was on a plane a week ago and it was full, but there was still a soldier who was trying to get a seat.
The captain asked if anyone would give up their seat for the soldier and at first no one moved.
Suddenly, an old man in 1st Class got up and left the plane so the soldier could go home. That old man with respect for soldiers GMH"

Harry Potter Nerd Alert! Day 3 of the Thirty Day Challenge
First blog of the New Year! I suppose this constitutes a celebration! I have been procrastinating my latest blog post merely because it’s going to be a slightly more complicated one… yet not… at the same time. Or I’m just extremely lazy, but it’s whatev.
(I cheated, I switched days with the more complicated one. ;D)
To celebrate with you today and participate in my third day of the thirty day challenge I am going to share a recipe with you!
I am currently planning my FIRST spring break trip. A friend of mine has a condo near Orlando and she is letting us stay for the week for a very small price. While down there I am going to take the opportunity to go to…
Brace yourself…
None other than THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER!
So in honor of that exciting news I am going to share the recipe of how to make butter beer. What is butter beer you may ask? Butterbeer is popular wizarding beverage described as tasting "a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch.” Sold in places such as the Leaky Cauldron of Diagon Alley, and the Three Broomsticks of Hogsmeade, you now can enjoy it in the pleasures of your own home!
I’m going to share with you two different Recipes.
The first one is slightly easier and was taken from MuggleNet. (To be honest this one doesn’t sound as appetizing as the other!) The first one is the simpliest, only three steps, and only three ingredients.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup (8 oz) club soda or cream soda
• ½ cup (4 oz) butterscotch syrup (ice cream topping)
• ½ tablespoon butter
Directions:
Step 1: Measure butterscotch and butter into a 2 cup (16 oz) glass. Microwave on high for 1 to 1½ minutes, or until syrup is bubbly and butter is completely incorporated.
Step 2: Stir and cool for 30 seconds, then slowly mix in club soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit.
Step 3: Serve in two coffee mugs or small glasses; a perfectly warm Hogwarts treat for two!
The second recipe I have is from Stumbleupon.
The ingredients are simple. You will need the following to make two drinks.
Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 24 oz of your favorite cream soda
• 2 tsp vanilla and nut flavoring
Directions:
Step 1: Start by measuring your heavy whipping cream into a bowl.
Step2: Next, add your powdered sugar. Begin to whisk briskly. You want it to thicken slightly, but still be loose. It may help to use an electric powered mixer, or find a container that you can shake the mixture in to get the right consistency.
Step 3: Once your cream topping is ready add the vanilla nut flavoring to the cream soda by stirring gently. You don’t want to get rid of the carbonation of the soda.
Step 4: Pour your flavored cream soda into chilled glass mugs, gently spoon the cream mixture so that it floats on top of the cream soda. You want a layer of about half an inch thick.
I also have an alcoholic version, if that tickles your fancy. I have never tried it so I wouldn’t know. All you would need to do at this point is stir in a few teaspoons of Dekuyper Butterscotch (a.k.a. Butterscotch Schnapps) in to the soda before you top it with cream. It has been quoted as being fantastic!
After doing some more research I have also accumulated a recipe for a hot version of Butterbeer and it too looks appetizing. Maybe I’ll share that on a later date!
I’m so so so excited to be able to go to Orlando in March, and can’t wait to try the real Butterbeer. In the mean time this will just have to do!
Until Next time...
"I'm dying of lupus at age 17.
I was brought home from the hospital to have my last week.
I've been an avid Harry Potter fan for many years, and my mother is desperately trying to find a way for me to see the new Harry Potter theme park.
Little does she know, her love through all of this is far better than a day in Hogsmeade.
She GMH."
