Boy-Crazed Generation

Status 1:" Why play me if your not interested"
Status 2: "I can't stand guys who play mind games"
Status 3: "I need you back"

So today I had a skim through my Facebook page.I haven't done this in a while so obviously my timeline/news feed  was filled with endless posts and statuses both ridiculous and "life informing". When it came to such posts from my friends (mostly the female ones) I noticed something that each had in common... they were all about boys. Its always about boys and I feel the girls of my generation center their lives around "not being single" or racing to change that one status to "In a Relationship". Slow down.Thinking that we need a man to be happy, to make us feel valuable is such a fallacious mentality and I don't understand why us girls buy into it.

Now I'm not saying boys are not interesting, mysterious creatures, they are,( I've had my fair share of liking them) and I'm not an expert on this topic because I don't know everything but what I do know is that a 13,14 or 15 year old does not need to be stressing about boys. Girls my age do not need to grow up so fast and rush to get into relationships.They're hard. I've had multiple conversations with people who have or are in relationships and even longer conversations with my friends over a guy dumping them or liking another girl more than her and how "I'm so depressed", "What's wrong with me?", What does she have that I don't".First of all, you shouldn't have to change yourself for a guy to like you and until you understand that, relationships are not something us young teenagers are ready for. Not yet. We shouldn't  feel as if guys are needed and that you have to have one in order to be happy.

 I don't think we understand that guys are young.They want to "hit and run" and have fun with their friends.So we can't cry and get upset over Facebook when he leaves you pregnant or dumps you for some other girl. It's simply the mind of a teenage boy. There so many things we could be doing with our time like going to the movies with our friends,sleepovers,prank calling, shopping around in the mall, instead of sweating over a boy. Thousands, exactly 43% of women, both in their high school and college years drive themselves to suicide over something so simple as just a breakup. It's stress,and as a young female trying to find her place in this world it worries me to think that people, my friends and Is age are going to the ultimate low for something so stupid.

We should all just have fun and stay young as long as possible. It's what I try to reinforce myself to do everyday instead of worrying over the small things. It's really not worth it when you could be working on trying to make yourself happy,with your own fun (and without a male specimen no matter how fine and attractive he may be).

We have so much time to experience love and all the perks that come with it. There is no hurry. When it happens you'll know and I'm sure it will me magical but we can't possibly think we're going to find it at 13.


  Take life a little steadier instead.

Goals For The Summer

                                                                                   Well,school's out...

But that doesn't mean I don't have plans for myself. This summer I want to make every single 62 days that  I have before school count. Meaning, I have 10 goals that I want to accomplish before the summer just dissipates and fades into the August air and through the fast approaching September chill ( which I am not looking forward too).  

I want these goals to be fun,meaningful and of course achievable. These past couple of weeks of June have been hectic and have completely vanished through this small limited amount of time. It felt as if I just walked into middle school  the other day and was adjusting to this ( what I thought was) a new "life" and now I've graduated and am moving on to high school. I have to start all over again... from square one. It's almost as if these memories I saved of my friends and close classmates and  have accumulated and treasured so very close to my heart these past 3 years had never happened. Time flew by. I feel as if it took something I should been more protective over. Which is why the first goal on my list is to use it (time)wisely. Whether that be finish the book I'm writing  in 62 days or read more or spend more time with my family or even something simple as just to catch up on beauty sleep. Whatever I feel in that moment of my day is a wise spending of time... I'll spend it away. Of course wisely and followed by these others.  ;)

1. Use time wisely
2. Write a book ( short stories...anything)
3. Take 20 photographs
4. Read 30 books
5. Ride my bike around the park
6. Go to the movies by myself
7. Turn my phone off for an entire week ( yikes!)
8. Watch movies for an entire day
9. Write on my blog!!
10. Eat 5 new foods

For today I'll leave you with a saying I came up with... "Write Till you mentally can't breath the words your feeling". ( Trying to put this is in a banner but it won't fit)
