Rules to Live By

Lately I have been thinking of my own personal rules to live by. These are mine:

1. Everything happens for a reason: When I was in grade 5 I was really upset because Georgie and I were not in the same class. When I told my Gran she told me "Everything happens for a reason". To be honest this is true. To this day Georgie and I are still best friends. I think being separated in grade 5 strengthened our relationship. Sure, we were not as close but we were still best friends. Still, when anything ever bad happens I think "Everything happens for a reason". It may not work for all situations, but for most it does.

2. The answer is always going to be no if you do not ask: Over the past few days I have been thinking about this one. I happen to be scared to ask questions because I do not want to be reject and feel embarrassed. But quite honestly, being scared to ask questions will get you no where in life. Sometimes you just have to face your fears and deal with it. I am trying to overcome this. If you never ask anything you will be stuck in the same spot in your life forever.

3. Karma: This is not really a rule, but I believe in it 100%. Sometimes maybe too much. If I do something good, something good will happen to me. If I do something bad, something bad will happen to me. I go so far to plan out situations in my head. I may be going overboard but I feel like it gives me a reason for why something bad happened, or to make a bad situation feel not so hard anymore. It almost gives me something to blame when things turn out not so exciting.

Guess who is a New Driver??

ME!!!!! That's right! I got my N!!! Honestly I am shocked but hey i'll take it!!

How Cute is This!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MAMA!!

I know you are never going to see this but I want to thank you for being such a great person. When I grow up if I am half as good as a mother as you are I will be pleased. Thank you for everything you do for me. I know I sometimes may not show my appreciation but I do appreciate it. People tell me that we are totally like alike. Some people may hate hearing that but me, I love it. I am so happy to not only call you my mother but also a best friend.

I am feeling extra sentimental today!

Georgie: Sometimes I feel like we are one brain in two bodies. We are so alike it's crazy! You know it's bad when other people notice or ask when are you two not matching. I honestly could not have gotten through high school with out. You were there for me when none of our other "friends" were. Whenever I am feeling upset you are always there to make me laugh. Your smile is contagious! When you smile, everyone around you smiles too.  You are the first person I want to tell anything to when something sad or happy happens. You would think we would be sick of each other after spending every waking hour together but when I don't see you for a while it feels like a whole piece of me is gone too. I don't think you realise how awesome you actually are! 10 years and counting!!! I love you!!

Millie: Oh Millie, what would I do without you. I love how excited you get for the little things. We do get it. We get that the smallest things are the ones that stick in your memory forever. I feel like you get me. While I am very similar to Georgie, I am very similar to you. I feel like Georgie and I think the same but you and me have the same characteristics. You keep me sane. I love that you make me feel so much better about myself, you always know the right thing to say. Plus you are pretty stinkin hilarious! You can always make me laugh!Also I like that you express your emotions. I feel like it helps me tell you mine too. I love your strength. Because of you, I will never give up. You are the strongest person I know. You keep my world spinning! I love you!!

Flora: You are the kindest, most caring person I know. You would jump off a bridge for someone. If one of your friends needed help, you would be the first person there. I admire that about you. You are also really hilarious! I know sometimes it may seem that we are laughing at you but we are really laughing with you. The things you do are just so funny!! I am really happy we became friends. I don't know what I would do without you! You always know the right thing to say. I love that you are always giving people compliments. It makes me great when I am having a not so good day. You are the sunshine of my life!! I love you!!!

Lillian: I love how honest you are. I know you will always tell me the truth. I am so happy we became friends this year. I know you have gone through a lot in your life. You are so strong. But there is still a lot I need to know about you. But that all comes with time. I want you to know that you are perfect just the way you are. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Even though we just became friends this year, I love spending time with you. You make me laugh so hard!! I can't wait until we become closer friends!!

Sadie: Even though we have know each other for a few years, I feel like I do not know you as well as I should. I wish we could hang out more often. You are funny and nice. You are always doing things that crack me up!!

Sophie Kinsella!

Your books amaze me!

When I think back to who my friends used to be I really wonder why I liked them so much. It weird to think that you could once be inseparable from someone then the next minute they feel like a complete stranger. We thought we would be friends forever. To think we had a whole Disneyland road trip planned when we graduate high school. Even though we all thought our friendship would last, deep down in my heart I knew it wouldn't. When I think back to all the times when the "Fab Four" hung out, taking pictures with our numbers on our hands, the endless sleepovers, the board games, the movies, who we imagined each other going out with, it makes me sad. These were the girls I used to pick money up off the ground with, to see how much we could get. Now I feel like strangers. They started to change. But was it really them changing or did I? When I used to their first pick, I was now there last. They put us second to their new friends. From here all they wanted to do was become "popular" and go to parties. I really was not into that and I could of cared less if I was "popular". I just wanted to be me. They took a different path and I didn't follow. To be honest, I am quite proud of myself. Some people would have followed along and suffered being someone who was not their true self. But I am glad this all happened. If it didn't, I would not have the most amazing friends as I do now.

So Cute!!!

Friendship!

I love our friendship. It is completely different from most peoples our age. Unlike these other girls, we actually care about each other. We can have a nice weekend together without partying and alcohol. Instead we go through Millie`s "library" and write down the books we want to borrow. We intently discuss vitamins while drinking tea. I love that we are already planning our futures of going to pre-natal yoga together and how our kids are going to marry each other or be best friends like the sisterhood of the travelling pants. Also that we are going to live on the same street, but it has to be a name street not a number street. Most importantly I love that I can totally be myself around you guys. I can be weird, crazy, and annoying.  I don't have to worry about you guys judging me because we are all the same. We always have these big grand plans to have a movie night but instead we end up talking the whole night, like we have not seen each other in ages, but in reality we saw each other less than 24 hours before. You would think we would get bored of the same conversation, who we hate, who annoys us, who we swoon over, how boy crazy we are, the future, our future children. I love you guys, but you already knew that!!
