Lesson of the last 2 weeks.

If you don't want your feet to get stomped on. Then don't stick out your feet. And keep your shoes on.

But sometimes, if you take the chance, It's easier to dance with your shoes off.

I'ma keep flyin.

Because I am unstoppable.

The day is brighter when accompanied by smiles.

Today a stranger came up to me at the roastery, and thanked me for smiling. He then proceeded to hand me a note, which said "I can only hope you have good people in your life. I just want to say thanks for everything your smile makes me smile."

Yes it could be strange to some people. But to me it just made me smile. I think people are wonderful. And I think making people smile is the most amazing gift you can give to anyone, whether you know them or not. If we all did that every day the world would be so much brighter. It made my day brighter.

But I am just that lucky. Because I am surrounded by people who make me smile. I met someone wonderful. They made me smile ear to ear today right before that :) Today is just a really beautiful day.

The past is the past, you can't change it, but you can leave it in the past.

Hello all you awesome people. I just wanted to say that, I am trying my uttermost damn hardest, to just live life, and be me. I was someone I wasn't proud of years ago. The truth is, that person is not me anymore. And hasn't been me for about 3 years. So could you all stop bugging me, and let me just live my life. Gracias. The most I can do is ask. If you choose not to, then I suppose that is your own choice. But do yourself and I a favour. There are much better things in the world we can devote our time to.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

Last night I suddenly woke up in a fury of fear and panic. I thought I was dead. It was the scariest moment of my life.
But I pushed it aside, went back to sleep. And woke up happy.
I've never held my head so high. And it feels amazing. I feel 7 feet taller.

Head on straighter than eva.

"just gotta remember to never settle for anything less than my dreams. Keep striving to live the good life, keep skating, keep shooting photos, and never forget what's made me, me."

Self dignity is the shit. And it's nice to be able to think clear and trust myself not to make the same petty childhood mistakes. This time, single life, you will not own me. I will own you.

Girlbros and Brobros. Bro-in fo sho sho.

Ugh. Identity crisis.
Think I'm goin crazy sometimes.

Writing is an art in which I missed.

I may raise eyebrows. But you know what? I'm okay with that. The morrow comes and Alison and I are job hunting. Tomorrow is a new day. Haller.

If the socks don't fit, change them.

Today I learned that all I need to make sure I do is love myself. And as long as I do that, everything's going to be okay.

There is no reason why every day can't be fun and amazing.

I had the most amazing night. It made me open my eyes to the upcoming happiness at home, and I'm glad I was able to fall into a big cushion of love and fun. I can't emphasize how lucky I am to be around such amazing people. I came out here devastated and they took me by the hand and pulled me to my feet instantaneously and gave me all the support in the world. I look forward to enrolling in school and just staying here for awhile, getting on my own two feet and developing myself back into the optimistic happy person I once was. I will never let anyone bring me down ever again. I'm in love. With Saskatoon.

Oh yes. I'm a bubble of colors today. Thats how I see the world today. Happy New Years everybody. Love.

love sweet love.

Omgomgomg I love home so much. I'm so happy to be back. I lovelovelove you guys, you are the raddest. I'm so lucky to have all of you for friends and thank you so much for being here for me. The fam is together again! I missed you guys so much!!!

Life is an open path leading to anywhere I want to pave it. I will never plummet it into a dark valley of tears, tar, and pain and devious villains ever, EVER again. I'm going to reign it on clouds and plant pretty flowers and sprinkle rainbow drops as I run into the sun and far away. I'm just going to live life until it's overflowing with smiles and hugs. I love my home. And I can't wait to see you.

aaaand my mommymotherlovliest is putting me back into dance class. A frolicking here i cometh! =D

As far as I go, I've always got a place called home.

No regrets. I'm happy to be here!

Color is nothing without light.

My new years resolution shall be 'Work Hard. Play hard.'

It was really fun :)

an old Zen parable:

A man walking across a field encounters a tiger. He fled, the tiger chasing after him. Coming to a cliff, he caught hold of a wild vine and swung himself over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above.Terrified, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger had come, waiting to eat him. Two mice, one white and one black, little by little began to gnaw away at the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine in one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!

Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason.

Silence is gold.

A wise old owl sat in an oak.
The more he saw the less he spoke.
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be be like that old wise bird?
