summer of '09

here's to the past nights and that nights to come. staying up late watching that 70's show and talking to that special someone. here's to early morning texts and late night parties. to sleepovers 3 times a week and friends out of town. here's to swimming and major tan lines. cokes and popsicles poolside. haircuts and new swimming suits. here's to summer love and waiting for school to start. new sunglasses and not enough sunscreen. to waterparks and beaches. and to loud pool parties that drive the neighbors crazy.

here's to the summer of '09
have fun!!!!

from my very own journal

i'm so tired of hearing people say they "understand" how i feel. or my personal favorites they've "been there" and they "know how it feels". But they don't. You can never truly understand how someone feels about something their going through. Not if you've gone through something similar, or your going through it with them. not even if you are going through or have already gone through the exact same thing.
people grieve and go through things in a different way. so back off. stop saying you "understand" or you "get it" because in all honesty....
you
have
no
idea.

nature at its best.....

this is sooooo cool. it looks like a painting.

i love this picture. i'm not sure why. but its amazing.

cute picture

i don't know why but i absolutely love this picture. its super cute.

this whole "God" thing

why are religions so hostile towards other religions? most religions believe in God and or Jesus, but just have a different name for him. so why do we make a big deal if people are not the same religion as us? why do we have to get all up in other people's faces about their religion? we believe some religions are true but yet we still believe that our religion is the "truest" religion. why can't we just be content with ourselves believing what we believe? why does everyone else have to see things the exact same way as us? thats not fair and it makes no sense.

and what about that whole "if you don't believe in God you go to hell?" well what about all of the people in china who don't really have a choice? or in other contires where Christianity is not an option? God is a just and fair God so don't you think he would let them go to heaven? its just like little babies. they don't know any better; they don't know yet what they believe. and most people believe that they go to heaven....so wouldn't the other people too?
