Famous Last Words

Hello my sunshines,


  I hope you week has been good. It seems like just yesterday was my last blog update; I guess you can say nothing has changed really.


  But I feel like I need to stress on something.


Recently, I have read Looking For Alaska by John Green. If you have not read this book, I suggest you should but have some tissues.... as always. I will not spoil the book for you but I feel like we all often forget that nothing is permanent.


A saying I hate is "there is always tomorrow!" when really, we have no clue if there will be a tomorrow. I always worry about when I see someone, it will be the last time I do. I know that is probably depressing to some point but that is just how my mind works.


So I have a request for you.


Life is too short to hold grudges and ignorance. If you are in a disagreement with someone special, please at least talk it through.


If you look at each last conversation you have had with a loved one or someone special, would you like that to be your last words spoken?


I will always regret not going to see my nanaw in her casket when I could have. I wish I could see her one more time and ask her for her wisdom of things.


Call your loved ones and friends to share some appreciation with.


To fit in the theme of this blog, I have found last words that I find amazing. These were the famous last words of Ethel Barrymore, who was an actress back in the 1950s, "Is everybody happy? I want everybody to be happy. I know I'm happy."


Make today count.


Love always,

Little Sunshine In My Pocket

Hello my fellow stardusts,

This week has been stressful for me; school is getting closer to ending which means tests to study for. I had one of my moments of dark thoughts on Sunday but when Monday came, a pleasant surprise happened to me.

It melted my heart reading a card I got from my third and fourth grade teachers. If either of you are reading this, thank you so much.

As I type this in my English class, sitting next to an awesome cool person in the whole world with the name Haley (you are welcome for not erasing that), my shoes are soaked from the rain outside. I can't help but wonder if today will be imprinted in my mind forever or it'll fade into all the other days I don't remember having.
                                     


Make today count. I hope your week has been going good and only gets better.

I've been thinking of doing a series of blogs that'll relate to one another. It means a lot when I get acknowledged for how hard I do work on my blog.

Let us continue to venture off into the world.

Xoxo,


Zayniator




Ps. Kaylee is more awesome and cool than Haley! 

(Feel honored.)

Time Goes On

After a month without updating this blog, it is time for your local teenage girl who thinks a lot to come back for some more blogging.

The other day, I was looking through my diary that I've had since first grade. Now trust me when I say a lot of things can happen within a month or even a year. Here I am now fixing to finish my sophomore year of high school.

Yesterday during history, I thought of the beginning of the year feelings I had. Those feelings weren't so positive and flash forward to now there's a difference.

I felt as if I was gone for a day or even a week no one would notice. To bring back something I wrote in 2015: "I have learned that there is a rainbow around the corner. Every storm runs out of rain. "

As time went on this year, my feelings have changed for the positive. If you think you're going to be stuck in the downhill spiral forever, you're wrong.

It will get better; I promise.

Also it makes me feel unexplainable when someone tells me that reading my blog has helped them. I mean.. that's crazy. I appreciate all the kind words and all the support this gets. You'll never know how much I love helping people.

Back when I posted my first blog post, I emailed a link of it to one of my favorite bloggers and poet Ashley Dun. I didn't think I'd get a response back but miracously she replied and told me that with my honesty, it'll touch lives and will help people.

(Ashley Dun's blog: ashleydun.com )

I'm seeing it happen and just.. it's an unexplainable feeling.

Again, thank you.


Love always,

Zayniator

Be back next Thursday. 💖
