Top 10 of the week

Just a couple more months to go.

I'm sorry I've been so busy. I'm trying to keep up with posting, but school has been more than happy to keep us busy, and with the end of the year talent show coming up I'm deciding whether or not I'm going to do it, and if I did, what song I'm going to do. So I've decided to create a simple top-10 list of random crap, starting with the song I'm highly considering doing for my talent show. Enjoy!

10. Stay - Rihanna
This is such a beautiful and meaningful song. It's really raw, and since performing in the school talent show well be my first time ever performing a song live, I figured I wanted it to be sentimental and meaningful. I'm really good at piano, and since this is a piano song I'm strongly considering this. Plus it's in my vocal range, at least for the most part, but please, if you have any requests about a song you think I should do feel free to comment below, it's greatly appreciated.

9. The word "hyperbole"
Hyperbole basically means an exaggeration. I might never use this in a sentence but the word itself is pretty damn entertaining.

8. Witty comebacks
Because sometimes "Your mom" just doesn't cut it. I recommend "you're just mad because your mom has a bigger dick than you do" or "if I wanted to hear a bitch I would've bought a dog"

7. Cherry Airheads
No explanation necessary.

6. The card game "BS"
Because why not?

5. Quote;
 "Nobody said that it would be easy. 
They just promised it would be worth it."

4. Color: Yellow
This has been a very long and heavy week, and the fact that it's Friday is really relieving. Yellow is a light and airy color, which is probably how you should take today.

3. Food; Pizza
Generally pizza is my first choice but it seems especially appealing this week.

2. Emotion; Relief
That's definitely the tone for today, at least. I'm exhausted after this and I think today is a day for recovery and fun. :) Enjoy yourself, splurge, hang out with people. Make today awesome.

1. Random acts of kindness
Being random and putting it to good use for strangers will make you a superhero in disguise.

Have a beautiful week, my friends.♥

Better Sorry than Safe

Advice #6

So, who here likes the saying "Better safe than sorry"?
Well, let me give you a little info about that.

This saying is an excuse. 
When you're about to do something exciting. Like, for instance, in my English class we've been given the opportunity to do something called Poetry Out Loud, which is where you memorize a poem from their poem list and then recite it in front of the whole school. My friend wanted to join, but she told me "Well, better safe than sorry. I'm not gonna do it."

But my question is why not?

So, life is about living, right? So why in the world would you give yourself a decent excuse not to live life? Everything is just more experience, one more accomplishment, one more story to tell your grandkids "Yes ma'am, I did that."

So why would anybody say "Better safe than sorry"?

Playing life on the safe side is equivalent to staying indoors your whole life. Life is about experiencing, trying new things, living for crying out loud. You were born to do something great, but you're so scared of something going wrong that you end up not doing something that could be the greatest experience of your life?

So, my advice to you, would be to change that saying. Change it so instead of better safe than sorry, it's

Better sorry than safe. 

Do Poetry Out Loud. Audition for your talent show. Ask out your love. Jump off of a cliff into the ocean. Ride in the back of a pickup while your friends drive full speed. Take any and all opportunities presented to you. Make that joke in class. Send that risky text. If something goes wrong, it doesn't matter. Just doing it is an immense accomplishment that will make up for any mistakes you make for doing so.*

Because in life, if you do something and it ends up going wrong, you can at least look back on it and say,

"At least I had the courage to do something."

And that's a rarity these days.

I'm sorry. This has been more of a rant than anything, but I really want to make my point clear. Life is about making mistakes, and in all honesty, yes, being sorry is much better than being safe. Just as I tell myself and my friends, It's just more experience, and life experience never really hurt anyone, now did it?

Stay daring.♥
