    <content type="html">I'm devastated with what's going on in the world today.&amp;nbsp; There is so much war and violence, and I fear I'm doing to little to stop it.&amp;nbsp; I look at a picture of the world and think.."what's wrong with it"?&amp;nbsp; So many people are dying, wars are taking place, mass genocide, violent riots, poverty, hatred, illnesses, suffering, fighting.&amp;nbsp; Today, people boast of the great achievements of mankind but there is so much of it still so primitive.&amp;nbsp; Things that should be history are still a major part of today.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't understand what's wrong&amp;nbsp;with the world today.&amp;nbsp; In&amp;nbsp;society, we turn a&amp;nbsp;blind eye to everything we deem "ugly", we just turn our heads and say "it's not our problem".&amp;nbsp; I admit,&amp;nbsp;I was that way, wasteful, concerned&amp;nbsp;with only the little bubble that surrounded me.&amp;nbsp; I have been made aware of the reality of our situations.&amp;nbsp; With my social issues class I have learned of the problems&amp;nbsp;of society,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;by reading posts online I have learned how much so prejudices are still alive today.&amp;nbsp; I've heard that I shouldn't even be alive today because I am multiracial, apparently, God doesn't love me as much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may be becoming a little fanatical with this but it's something I truly feel deeply about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are the future and it is up to us to fix things.&amp;nbsp; The biggest changes can occur if you just have hope and faith.&amp;nbsp; We can do everything we set our minds to.&amp;nbsp; Always reach for the highest heights and don't let anything bring you down!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So..I've decided to come up with a list for our generation's tasks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; end the war&lt;br /&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; stop the violence&lt;br /&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; eliminate genocide&lt;br /&gt;4.&amp;nbsp; end poverty&lt;br /&gt;5.&amp;nbsp; no more prejudices&lt;br /&gt;6.&amp;nbsp; cure for terminal illness (so they are no longer terminal^_^)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The list goes on...if we stop the hatred the world will become a better place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easier said then done right?&amp;nbsp; All of us need to take steps to achieve a better society...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know some of you probably don't care but you should because this is your world too, we need to bring about love, justice, faith, hope, etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together we can achieve this</content>

    <content type="html">As the anniversary of 9/11 approaches, I've started thinking more of the value of life.&amp;nbsp; So many people take it for granted.&amp;nbsp; It seems as though so many suppress themselves because they feel they must conform to a certain way of acting, or people act to suppress it for them.&amp;nbsp; Life is so valuable and the time we have left remaining keeps ticking away.&amp;nbsp; Personally, I don't understand why people would rather act a way that is "cool" than to let the life flow out of them.&amp;nbsp; Another thing I don't understand is that when a person sees another acting in a way that celebrates life, they give them some sort of dirty look or mean comment.&amp;nbsp; Life is way too short!&amp;nbsp; You never know when someone you're talking to one minute is gone the next.&amp;nbsp; Anything can happen.&amp;nbsp; When it comes to life, don't hold back!&amp;nbsp; If you love and care about someone tell them!&amp;nbsp; If people judge you then it's not your problem!&amp;nbsp; Love life, and show it.</content>

    <content type="html">We all learn something new everyday right?&amp;nbsp; Well today has been a day of tears and triumphs.&amp;nbsp; The past two days have been hard on me but it's a part of growing up.&amp;nbsp; Becoming whom I was born to be.&amp;nbsp; We all make mistakes, and we all shed tears and experience pain.&amp;nbsp; Whatever happens, we can't give up, and we cannot succumb to our pain and drown in it.&amp;nbsp; Because, eventually, all of us heal.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes it takes a while, sometimes it happens fast but it happens and we continue on our paths to blossoming (i know that was probably a run-on).&amp;nbsp; All of us have different life experiences because God has given us our own journeys to take.&amp;nbsp; Some take it alone, others need people, but in the end all of us are striving toward a common goal, to reach the finish line as our true selves.&amp;nbsp; Many of us lose sight of this goal, and we become sidetracked by the appealing lures of money and power and quick fixes.&amp;nbsp; Yes, at some points in our lives all us fall away, I know I have but all of it helps us to grow and mature.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've always been the type to person to help and I've finally figured out what i really want to do with my life. I want to help the helpless, those without voices.&amp;nbsp; The reason why I've wanted to become a doctor, but only to children and elderly, the reason why i want to help animals, and the reason why I am so against abortion and euthanasia.&amp;nbsp; I think it is wrong to fight that which cannot fight back and I intend to live out my dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year will be my year.</content>

    <content type="html">I've been wanting to write an entry but I've had a hard time deciding what I want to write...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, lately I've been thinking, reading, writing, drawing, you all know how it is, and I was thinking about how we all have grown...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're not the little girls we once were but all of us have developed into amazing young women.&amp;nbsp; All of us can say that we have been through our ups and downs and every one of us have risen above it all.&amp;nbsp; Undeniably, we have much growing left for us to go through and some of us are still hurting inside...but remember, all of us are special creatures from God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are loving, sensitive, wise, and have a power over men...it is the reason why for so many years we have been suppressed...we have what men will never have, the ability to create the future.&amp;nbsp; Only women can bear children, which is a true gift.&amp;nbsp; For this reason, men wanted to take our voices away and instead...turn us against each other.&amp;nbsp; They made us into objects of their lusts rather than a sacred gift from heaven to be cherished and respected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In turn, many women have lowered themselves...rather than being princesses of heaven we throw our crowns away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of you are amazingly intelligent and beautiful young women...and never forget that.&amp;nbsp; Raise yourself to sit on your thrown and become empowered, because someday....we will all no longer be princesses...but a queen only fit for a king.</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p align="center"&gt;So for drama we had to choose from a packet of monologues to recite.&amp;nbsp; Of course, a lot of girls were intending to recite a funny one and I admit that I was one of them.&amp;nbsp; My eyes fell upon a monologue entitled &lt;em&gt;The Diary of Anne Frank&lt;/em&gt; and I was intrigued so I decided to choose between that and another one entitled &lt;em&gt;The Fastest Clock in the Universe&lt;/em&gt; (I might make an entry about that one later on).&amp;nbsp; When we finally received our copies I reread both monologues, others who read it and myself thought that it had a beautiful simplicity to it.&amp;nbsp; The words are simple and small and I fell in love with them.&amp;nbsp; You may think whatever you want of it, beautiful, inspiring, corny, cheesy, or just frankly not care about it.&amp;nbsp; I just felt the need to share it with you and offer my opinions on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is from a play adaptation from the famous &lt;em&gt;Diary of Anne Frank &lt;/em&gt;which is the diary of a young woman hiding with her family, the Van Daans, and Dr. Dussel during the Holocaust.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Anne is a 15-year-old girl who has grown physically, emotionally, spirituality, and maturity.&amp;nbsp; She is comforting Peter, a 17-year-old who is quiet and unhappy.&amp;nbsp; This is the last time they are together because in the next scene they are taken away by the Nazis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Look Peter, the sky.&amp;nbsp; What a lovely, lovely day!&amp;nbsp; Aren't the clouds beautiful?&lt;br /&gt;You know what I do when it seems as if I couldn't stand being cooped up for one more minute?&lt;br /&gt;I &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt; myself out.&amp;nbsp; I think myself on a walk in the park where I used to go with Pim.&lt;br /&gt;Where the jonquils and the crocus and the violets grow down the slopes.&lt;br /&gt;You know the most wonderful thing about &lt;em&gt;thinking&lt;/em&gt; yourself out?&lt;br /&gt;You can have it any way you like.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;You can have roses and violets and chrysanthemums all blooming at the same time...&lt;br /&gt;it's funny...I used to take it all for granted...and now I've gone crazy about&lt;br /&gt;everything to do with nature.&amp;nbsp; Haven't you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish you had a religion, Peter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, I don't mean you have to be Orthodox&lt;br /&gt;or believe in heaven and hell and purgatory and things...I just mean&lt;br /&gt;some religion...it doesn't matter what.&amp;nbsp; Just to believe in something!&amp;nbsp; When I think&lt;br /&gt;of all that's out there...the trees...and flowers...and seagulls...&lt;br /&gt;When I think of the dearness of you, Peter...and the goodness of the people we know...&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Kraler, Miep, Dirk, the vegetable man, all risking their lives for us every day...When I&lt;br /&gt;think of these good things, I'm not afraid any more...I find myself,&lt;br /&gt;and God, and I...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're not the only people that've had to suffer...There've always been people&lt;br /&gt;that've had to...sometimes one race...sometimes another...and yet...&lt;br /&gt;I know it's terrible, trying to have any faith...when people are doing&lt;br /&gt;such horrible...but you know what I sometimes&lt;br /&gt;think?&amp;nbsp; I think the world may be going through a phase,&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;the way I was with Mother, It'll pass, maybe not for hundreds of years, but some day...&lt;br /&gt;I still believe, in spite of everthing, that people are really good at heart.&lt;br /&gt;Peter, if you'd only look at it as part of a great pattern...&lt;br /&gt;that we're just a little minute in life...&lt;br /&gt;Listen to us, going at each other like a couple of stupid grownups!&lt;br /&gt;Look at the sky now, isn't it lovely?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I know this may not even mean anything to you, but if you read and think about it, you'll see what I mean.&amp;nbsp; No matter what she has gone through she still has faith and love for humanity, even towards the people she is hiding from.&amp;nbsp; Everyone will have to suffer sometime during their life.&amp;nbsp; Our world will continue to wage war people will continue to hurt.&amp;nbsp; But maybe someday there will be peace.&amp;nbsp; Isn't that so amazing to imagine?&amp;nbsp; What if someday enemies would come to love each other.&amp;nbsp; All of us hear&amp;nbsp;the words "world peace"&amp;nbsp; but if we actually achieve it just imagine how beautiful everything will be.&amp;nbsp; No more war, no more fighting, no more tears.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just think how Anne was a young girl around our age but how her life made such an impact on all of us.&amp;nbsp; How for years people young and old have&amp;nbsp;read and heard her story and taken it to heart.&amp;nbsp; Yes, all of&amp;nbsp;us are a minute in life but that one minute&amp;nbsp;we have can last through&amp;nbsp;so many years.&amp;nbsp; What if you could make an impact like that?&amp;nbsp; What would you choose to do with your life?&amp;nbsp; Every life is a valuable as the next.&amp;nbsp; Even if we think&amp;nbsp;ourselves so insignificant when really, we have the power to&amp;nbsp;change the world.&amp;nbsp; Just think of the affect you&amp;nbsp;can have on people and&amp;nbsp;who you eventually be.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;As humans, all of us our linked, as humans all of us were made in the image&amp;nbsp;and likeness of God.&amp;nbsp; He does not make anything&amp;nbsp;useless, no matter who we are every life has a purpose that we need to fulfill.&amp;nbsp; But the question is...are you going to fulfill it?&amp;nbsp; It is our choices that make us.&amp;nbsp; Become who you were born to be.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Haven't you ever looked back on the past and realize that you miss it?&amp;nbsp; Even after convincing myself how much better off&amp;nbsp;I am now, it all still lingers in the back of my mind.&amp;nbsp; I miss only having 36 first and last names to remember.&amp;nbsp; I miss when it was so small that i could tell who wrote a paper out of an entire class by just looking at the handwriting.&amp;nbsp; I miss&amp;nbsp;the little things, from the pizzas on Thursdays to our Jog-A-Thon every spring.&amp;nbsp; I know it seems like something so random that I just come out of blue with all this but you see, I've been thinking about it lately.&amp;nbsp; Everything in life changes and there's no way that we can ever go back.&amp;nbsp; I can never return to those kids i used to see every day, and to whom I shared that connection with.&amp;nbsp; It's just realizing how fast the little time we have makes me even more sure of not wasting these precious moments.&amp;nbsp; Cherish everyone and everything as if it was your last time to hold it, because, like glass, in a split second it can shatter into a million pieces and will never be the same no matter how much glue you attempt to use to piece it back together.&amp;nbsp; So as a friend sharing this moment of your life with you, I'm glad if I can touch your heart in any way, big or small and I pray that it is for the better.&amp;nbsp; Our lifetime is only a blink in history so don't even dare to waste any part of the millisecond you have because it's all we have to show to God.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">ok, so I was on myspace...ya go ahead "myspace whore" and really, have any of you noticed how pointless bulletins are?&amp;nbsp; I mean, i'm sure the original purpose of bulletins was besides doing chain letters saying that if you don't, you will die...i mean it's just dumb.&amp;nbsp; Don't people have anything else to do with their lives besides leaving multiple, pointless, random bulletins just for attention?&amp;nbsp; One bulletin stating that you have a new picture is good enough I don't need 10 more of them because quite frankly, who cares?&amp;nbsp; LJ is sooo much better, i mean, there is actually a point to posting on it and you have a smaller chance of getting stalked.&amp;nbsp; At least with LJ i don't get the whole "comment me or you're not my friend" thing.&amp;nbsp; Hah, i miss the simpler times when there was something to keep our attention other than myspace...it's just a fad that will eventually die out and go on vh1's "i love the 00's"&amp;nbsp;and then we'll all be in our twenties laughing at ourselves because of how much happened on a mediocre site.&amp;nbsp; Well I guess there can be some pros to myspace...meeting friends, checking up on friends, sending messages or comments to say hi...but honestly the hype over it is sickening...so much so that even the news talks about it.&amp;nbsp; But then again here's the thing, people use it as an escape and let's face it, it sure was mine so I understand that aspect of it, and it helps to raise people's confidence i guess but still...there are other ways.&amp;nbsp; I mean, go out, write, read, even watch tv but gosh, it shouldn't be the center of the universe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok...new subject: the media today...honestly they screw things up.&amp;nbsp; Where's all the good news in the world today and where's the kind of news that has a point to it?&amp;nbsp; I mean look around you, there are great things happening but do we ever hear about those things?&amp;nbsp; No way!&amp;nbsp; All we hear about it what is defined as "compelling" and what is that, stuff concerning people hurting, dying, and i know it's reality but there are other things to report on!&amp;nbsp; Like for example, there are schools and foundations out there that truly help people, and are they ever really reported on?&amp;nbsp; ok, be honest, even if the do report on it, the report lasts like, five seconds.&amp;nbsp; I'm sick and tired of seeing the negative side of humanity, I'm sure there is some good out there people just need to look instead of looking for the bad.&lt;br /&gt;On another thing about the media...ok all of us hear about celebrity break-ups and how celebrities can never stay together and quite frankly leave them alone.&amp;nbsp; I've noticed that if they aren't so much in the public eye...they stay together longer.&amp;nbsp; Even though their famous doesn't give anyone the right to pry into their lives...honestly...who cares?!&lt;br /&gt;Now the argument is this...well what about freedom of speech?&amp;nbsp; As it is said, with freedom comes responsibily...you don't need to report on anything that might endanger anyone's life...for example, a while ago, Newsweek posted a story of the desecration of Torah's withing fully even validating their sources and as a result even more attacks on soldiers occured...honestly was the story so important that people had to die for it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;also, we listen to music, many times not even considering the lyrics and I am so sick and tired of hearing rappers degrade women.&amp;nbsp; they have no respect and it disgusts me.&amp;nbsp; they speak of women like objects or puppets.&amp;nbsp; and of course, young women, even young girls heed by what they are saying and think that it's what makes them appealing...ok all of us know by now that this is not a moral way to live life and it's not right that we are continously fed these lyrics.&amp;nbsp; of course many guys want a young woman who would do whatever she told them to do and yet this is not the woman they would even considering to marry...to all females out there...respect yourself we are worth so much more than one night in the backseat of a car or a dark corner in a hall way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now, on my p.o.v. on abortion.&amp;nbsp; people all of us know that there is life at the moment of conception.&amp;nbsp; Why are people trying to set a time limit on whether or not a person is alive.&amp;nbsp; who knows what the baby inside your womb could grow up to be&amp;nbsp;and punishing and unborn child for what you did or what happened to you is so immoral and just makes me so angry.&amp;nbsp; a life is a life, not a choice, it is not our right to decide whether or not someone should live or die.&amp;nbsp; and the same concept goes for abortion.&amp;nbsp; it is not the choice of humanity to end life, the decision alone is up to God.&amp;nbsp; Life is such a sacred thing, and a gift and should not be&amp;nbsp;wasted so irresponsibly for selfish reasons alone.&amp;nbsp; the only being with the choice is God and it is not in our human rights to "play God".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I was at Vons with Jane and she went off to get a drink, so I was sitting alone at a table when this girl walked up to me.&amp;nbsp; She saw the ashes on my forehead and asked "are you Catholic"&amp;nbsp;and when I said yes, she gave me a look.&amp;nbsp; Ya, I'm CATHOLIC and there should not be any problem with this.&amp;nbsp; I am proud of my faith and I am not going to sit and deny it, I am proud of who I am and anyone who is opposed to this don't matter to me.&amp;nbsp; I have my beliefs and you have your own...deal with it.&amp;nbsp; I have the freedom to be who I want to be and I have no problem with this.&amp;nbsp; People have their beliefs and let's admit it, there will always be stereotyping but to make assumptions without actually knowing is wrong.&amp;nbsp; It is not our place to pass judgment on others because of faith, race, looks, pretty much anything.&amp;nbsp; So many judgments are made on people just because they are different and it's wrong...I don't know what it is it can be fear, or something else.&amp;nbsp; but I willing to&amp;nbsp;carry a mark on my head for Jesus ANYDAY.&amp;nbsp; I'm not ashamed and never will be so I would shout it out that I am Catholic.&amp;nbsp; I am proud of who I am, no matter what anyone says, if they say something about me, then they aren't worth any trouble&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so...that's it for tonight...knowing me I'll add more to it later</content>

    <title>Fairy Tales</title>

    <updated>2006-02-25T08:28:06Z</updated>
    <content type="html">Lately, I've been reading Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales as some side stuff because I like reading and I haven't been able to go to the bookstore lately (yes, i do read and enjoy doing it).  Pretty much all girls want that "fairy tale love" because the thought of finding true love and that "happily ever after" is so appealing to us, I mean, everyone wants to have the feeling of loving someone and being loved in return, and I know I'm one of them.  But after having read a lot of fairy tales lately I've discovered that I just don't want love in that way.  Let's face it, the girl is always so sickeningly perfect.  She is always "the most beautiful in the land", or just so good that it hurts, you get the general idea, and all the handsome kings and princes fall for the whole "love at first sight" thing because you know these girls are just so perfect.  Let's face it, no one is perfect and love at first sight does not exist, well, infactuation at first sight does, and there's a difference between the two.  I've come to a conclusion, I don't want that whole fairy tale thing.  Yes, this is me the hopeless romantic saying, or typing, this.  I don't want anyone falling for me in the way these kings and princes do because I'm far from perfection, and I'm far from being the most beautiful, I'd rather not have someone fall for me because of this whole "love at first sight" thing, it's way too unrealistic and silly.  Believing fairy tales could come true is for little girls and I do not want to be labeled as one of them.</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;ok...i've just been having such an amazing feeling inside of me.&amp;nbsp; it's just this warmth that has been consuming me.&amp;nbsp; so...all of you know how i've felt these past couple of weeks or months but it's completely turning out right for me now.&amp;nbsp; i've gone through this sudden change and i'm on a natural high, and i know that everything that happens in life happens for a reason and God always answers prayers, especially when you least expect it.&amp;nbsp; when did this start for me?&amp;nbsp; well just last week actually, something came over me and also the video in religion and especially the retreat catapulted me into this feeling of inner peace.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i now feel this confidence in myself that i never really knew i had and it's in so many aspects of my life, and i have this feeling like..i know i can do whatever i set my mind to, and no matter what i feel i know i'm never alone my family and friends will always be there for me, and if ever i feel truly deserted i know that God is always with me.&amp;nbsp; He will always be there to carry you.&amp;nbsp; God is your daddy and He will never stop loving you and he will never abandon you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i am at a point in my life where my faith is so strong and i believe anything can happen and i know that i can truly find myself while in this state.&amp;nbsp; and while i've been on this sudden path of self-discovery and i have come to love myself and i am not afraid to say this...because the only way you can truly love others is if you love yourself.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i know what i need and what i don't need...i mean you think that me, being out without my cell, laptop, ipod..i wouldn't survive right? well...i don't need any of those, all i need is God and really that's what i want in my life at the moment, and i've realized that only God can give me what i'm feeling&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ok now...to break things down:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;God- He's all i truly need, i surrender myself to Him&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;myself- i feel so blessed, and i'm just happy that i've learned so much about myself&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;family- the tension i felt with my parents is leaving..and i've been talking to the a lot lately, and i love it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;friends- i love all of them, they are all amazing in their own unique ways, and i do see God in all of them&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;school- i've been pulling myself up and putting so much effort into it, just keeping my priorities straight&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;social life- i love having fun, but i need to remember to put that aside to strive to do my best&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;relationships- they're fun, but i just don't need it and it's no longer because i'm afraid of getting hurt, it's that i need to keep being true to myself and have strength...i want to remain single because it just seems right for me right now, i mean, it's hard to explain...but i feel happy just knowing that when i do find myself feeling that it's the right time in my heart and mind, it'll be special...because i need more then smarts in a relationship..but i need wisdom&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;on chastity- that video in religion has provided reassurance for me, i am worth waiting for and eventually i will find someone and i will not have sex until marriage, and i will someday marry a man until then, i will buy a white candle and on my wedding day...he will light it for me&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so...i just love the way everything has fallen into place for me and i pray that all of you someday feel the indescribable feeling that has filled me&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="+3"&gt;The Serenity Prayer&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"&gt;God grant me the serenity &lt;br&gt;to accept the things I cannot change; &lt;br&gt;courage to change the things I can;&lt;br&gt;and wisdom to know the difference. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"&gt;Living one day at a time; &lt;br&gt;Enjoying one moment at a time; &lt;br&gt;Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; &lt;br&gt;Taking, as He did, this sinful world&lt;br&gt;as it is, not as I would have it; &lt;br&gt;Trusting that He will make all things right&lt;br&gt;if I surrender to His Will;&lt;br&gt;That I may be reasonably happy in this life &lt;br&gt;and supremely happy with Him&lt;br&gt;Forever in the next.&lt;br&gt;Amen.&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif"&gt;&lt;font size="+1"&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;Trust in the LORD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; with all your heart&lt;br&gt;and lean not on your own understanding;&lt;br&gt;in all your ways acknowledge him,&lt;br&gt;and he will direct your paths."&lt;/font&gt;

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;have u ever gotten that feeling when u suddenly just feel lonely? i mean....you're surrounded by people but yet you feel you're not.&amp;nbsp; for some reason i've just have felt loney, even sad lately and all this time i've been sitting around idle and alone, i've just had time to think.&amp;nbsp; i know how i always go around saying how chris is a jerk and stuff but really...what if i completely screwed up a friendship of five that was so good?&amp;nbsp; what if it was my fault? was it me being selfish when i decided to get involved with him.&amp;nbsp; if i had turned him down like i did matt, maybe tomorrow the five of us would've been going out tomorrow, i guess i just miss the way things used to be and it's silly of me because i know that we grow up and everything changes, hah i guess i'm still searching for neverland...i want the innocence of everything back and i feel sad knowing that it will never return&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and on top of that, i'm feeling that i just can't seem to open up like i used to...i've gotten kind of cold in a way, i feel like the girl who will stay at a distance and will remain loved at a distance without getting really close with anyone, for fear of being lied to, turned down, ignored, just being stabbed.&amp;nbsp; and i have a lot of oppurtunities open to me...but i won't take any of them, i guess that's good but i don't want the feeling that i'm leading people on, so i don't really open up and i want to, but i can't seem to trust like i used to, i'm just living with that fear inside of me&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;gosh...this doesn't even feel like me typing...don't i always seem like the girl u can never get down? well really...these feelings have been in the back of my mind and are just emerging, and really i don't quite know how to channel them, and i can't necessary tell people, but i can only write them...that makes sense right? haha and it's not like anyone feels like reading this long thing i'm writing, but i just need to get things out of me, outpouring of soul...i guess that's what i'm doing...and the great thing is that i trust all of you and i know all of you are just there for me but iono u don't even really need to respond to this...i mean how would you respond to me all of a sudden just having really bad mood swings and just feeling lonely and sad?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;well..nothing really makes sense anymore&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;wow!&amp;nbsp; Confirmation was really interesting today^_^ i payed attention and this is what i learned...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;God is King of kings, he created us, making all women princesses, as princesses our tiaras have jewels, but everytime we commit any act that brings us down, we lose a gem from out tiara.&amp;nbsp; men and women are created so differently, but the way we are created fits...men are persuers, women like being pursued, men like visual, God made women to be beautifu, women love to be loved and men are made to love women. l^_^ do you see what i am saying?&amp;nbsp; God made men and women so different so that we are perfect together&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;our bodies are our temples and should be treated as such, do not let anyone make you think otherwise...we are God's daughters, the princesses of the world and in time we will become someone's queen, but we need to love ourselves before we can fully love another.&amp;nbsp; remember the Beatitudes?&amp;nbsp; well, those apply not only to how we love others, but to how we love ourselves.&amp;nbsp; do not let yourself become anyone's trash because no matter who you are, you are royalty and should be treated as such^_^&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;since we are princesses...naturally we are looking for a prince in shining armor, which is what men are expected to be.&amp;nbsp; obviously, many sure do not act in such way, i'm sure anyone can give an example...but we need to show them that we are more the just a body to look at.&amp;nbsp; we need to prove the true beauty that lies within us.&amp;nbsp; how can we do that?&amp;nbsp; well, show them by maintaining your image, your purity, your tiara...remain chaste.&amp;nbsp; remember, boys are always looking for something easy, but men pursue a women who can express the love conveyes in beatitudes.&amp;nbsp; they want a princess who they can make their queen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;only when we are married we are truly ready to give ourselves up...don't you think it would be best to lose your virginity to someone whom you are sure&amp;nbsp;loves you as much as you love them.&amp;nbsp; it creates a bond between husband and wife, from that bond a child is born...a prince or princess, wait for the right time to give everything up, because sex is intended only for the situation of being married&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i have always believed this, but my class today only made me more certain of my morals&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;hmm...today was kinda weird..for some reason by the end of the day i didn't feel so hyper and happy as i usually am.&amp;nbsp; i was gloomy for no reason i could think of.&amp;nbsp; anyway, writing is wonderful and i bought a new journal on friday too!&amp;nbsp; hmm..what do i write about?&amp;nbsp; things that just go through my head, letters to people that will never be sent, songs, poems, if you don't have a personal journal, i recommend it.&amp;nbsp; i don't even know why i decided to write something at this moment, i just decided i have to.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you guys are right, livejournal is great.&amp;nbsp; right now i'm just dwelling on my thoughts, trying to reason with myself which can at times be harder than it would seem.&amp;nbsp; but i've determined that silence is good for me, so long as it doesn't scare me, and you know silence can scare you.&amp;nbsp; but...i just want all of you to know how thankful i am to have all of you&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;well...something concerning relationships with other people:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;people have different views when it comes to relationships, but first off, what is the definition of a relationship?&amp;nbsp; Well, I went on dictionary.com to look it up:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The condition or fact of being related; connection or association. 
&lt;li&gt;Connection by blood or marriage; kinship. 
&lt;li&gt;A particular type of connection existing between people related to or having dealings with each other: &lt;cite&gt;has a close relationship with his siblings.&lt;/cite&gt; 
&lt;li&gt;A romantic or sexual involvement&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;now, i'm not quite sure where I'm going with this but I decided to make an update about relationship being as how all of you know my status on myspace has switched from "in a relationship" to "single" back to "in a relationship" and now, "swinger." ok, well technically i'm not the type to be called a "swinger" but here is my reasoning on it.&amp;nbsp; I know I am not the girl to play a guy or who switches so easily between guys, well i know i wasn't...but know i'm letting you know what's going on inside this brain.&amp;nbsp; Truth is, I'm tired of being put down whenever a guy decides i was last week's flavor, so if I put my status down as swinger then I can at least slightly fool myself into thinking that guys can't hurt me, which is true, my heart is still going to break hard over the course of my life but now I can be smarter.&amp;nbsp; I won't fall so hard and fast, and I won't let a guy take advantage of me during a time of need...ya fatal flaw i have, i trust way too easily...and i fall for meaningless words and fake forevers but I know i'm better than that...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ok, here goes the first definition of a relationship is the condition of being connected to a person, in such case, all of us are in some kind of relationship, this one is easy enough, we merely have to know a person to be in this relationship and let's admit the next two are easy and are generally not&amp;nbsp;what causes tears and a broken heart soo...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;#4...uh-oh- A romantic or sexual involvement, well I know about the romantic part but not the sexual part believe me..but anyway, hmm romantic involvement, who doesn't love the feeling?&amp;nbsp; You act like you're on a natural high, well u remember how i was right? letters...singing...phone calls, you get the idea..bascially you tend to get blinded by these emotions and hang out on cloud nine for a while..but you need to get grounded for this kind of relationship to last...and then you'll start to see the signs of true unconditional love, I've seen this kind of love in my friends, but i'm not sure about romatic-type relationship, pretty much I still have a lot more to learn&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;gosh...i love being able to blog, it's nice to be able to write your thoughts down...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and if your into poetry, click on the URL i left&lt;/p&gt;
