well, for starters i hate livejournal...its cursed and it makes me unconfortable. i cant eve fuckin say what i want in this stupid thing. Oh well. I wrote a personal philosophy paper yesterday and i think its cool. I let a few people read it already and they said its like a perfect depiction of me. So go ahead and read it. It's really informal so thats why its not all spelled correctly and all that. k enjoy

Personal Philosophy

Instead of writing mostly about how I live my life,
and what my personal philosophy is right now, I would
rather investigate how i would like to live. I have to
warn you reader, this paper is going to be
disorganized and mishy washy. I believe you can
understand this, considering most teenagers don't know
what they want. This is why i call it an
investigation. Welcome to the journey.

Things in my life I DO live by:
Being honest about irrelevant things. Such as: telling
people exactly how i feel about them. Or being pretty
blunt and up front about issues i have. I'm an
extremely open person when it comes to my life. But
not when it involves hurting another person.

Perserverance. This is probably the most important
one. Doesn't perserverence also mean dedication? I'm
just very strong willed. I almost always get what i
want. If i don't then i make lemonade out of lemons. I
wasn't taught to live like that, but eventually i got
tired of being pushed around. When i was forced out of
my house i didnt shatter and go running home (which
would have been the easy way out) instead i stuck to
my guns and talked my way out of the court system. I
never give up either. When i want something done, it
gets done. I never stop in the middle of a project,
and i always get work done on time. This all has to do
with my dedication as well. I feel that in my life,
you have to be dedicated to yourself and what you want
out of life more than anything.

Having fun while life lasts. Honestly, it makes me
sick how serious i take life at times. I wish more
people could just take it easy and do what they want.
The world would either be happier, or more crazy at
that point. I'd like to think that in my life ive had
many journeys. Many people say i've made many
mistakes. They are only lessons i learn, not mistakes.
Everything i do is not planned out, but i generally i
make the best out of situations and try to have fun.

Keeping love in my life. I never had love growing up,
so now that i'm close to being an adult, i try to stay
closer to loved ones. Even people who i feel care
about me (neighbors, teachers, friends) are a big
impact on my life. I never used to have someone to
love on, and i think thats why i always have a
boyfriend. I love expressing myself to someone who
feels the same way back. Love gets me by every day.
I'll be honest, I don't think i love myself enough,
but eventually i will. I know it.

THings that i wish i lived my life by:

HOnesty: I wish that i didnt lie to cover up my
mistakes in life. The one person in my life that i lie
to most is myself. I am the greatest liar when it
comes to me. I convince myself that i'm going to be a
teacher, then find out i would hate doing that. I
convince myself that i'm in love with so and so, then
to find out that it was all in my head. I've lied to
my guardian, when it would have been easier to just be
honest. I wish that i didnt feel the need to lie. I
know why i do it. All my life i was forced to lie
about every little thing because of my father and his
rage. I feel that maybe people wont like me or i will
get into trouble, and im too afraid to try out being
honest. I wish i was more honest with myself most of
all.

I wish that i could be less stubborn. More accepting
of others opinions. I'll listen to what someone else
has to say, but only until i feel that I understand
them. Most people like to talk and talk about their
point till the other person agrees. I always jump the
gun and think i know what they are saying. Maybe i
think too fast? Or i don't give people a chance. I
think that I need to broaden my horizons more. I'm a
pretty accepting person, but not of other opinions. I
like to hear facts, not opinions. I can make my own
thanks.

Im kind of cocky at times. Most of the time i think im
smarter than my peers. I think that my opinions are
more correct than theirs. I feel that i am too smart
for the english classes at school. I feel like high
school needs to get done and i want to learn more.
This isn't a bad thing, but i definetely am cocky. No
one knows that about me, but deep inside i think
you're stupid.

How i can achieve my goals:

I need to learn to be more patient with people. I talk
way to fast, and yes my brain does work at quick
speeds. Too quickly sometimes. I need to understand
some people actually think before they speak.

i need to not take myself so seriously. I need to
learn to relax, laugh a little, and take time for
myself everyday. Hopefully that will help me have more
fun.

Bluntly: I need to get away from drama and just be
healthy!

I need to take advice better from adults instead of
getting offended.

Most of all, i need to be way more honest with myself
and others. I can't go through life being fake and not
myself. I will never get anywhere in life and its just
not the right thing to do.

That is my personal philosophy as of right now. As the
years go on I'm positive it will change. These
obstacles will always be with me, but hopefully
writing papers like this will help me live life more
honestly.

reply if you want. but really the only people i expect to read this is joe and scott. hehe so you better actually reply guys! thanks.
