Entry #13 - My Bedroom

My Bedroom is like no other. I’m only home at night to sleep and on the weekends. So, it’s usually pretty clean. I throw all my clothes in my closet that doubles as a mirror. My walls are very plain and so I put up pictures of beaches from an old calendar so they wouldn’t look so dull. I also have a big poster board thing that my aunt made for me. It’s got fabric over it and you can stick pictures on it with the pins. I have a queen-sized bed and the comforter has circles on one side and stripes on the other. My chair is green and furry, which usually I don’t like but this one is comfy. I have trophies and plaques in different places around my room, from volleyball, basketball, track, and one is from a piano recital I sang in. My room is in the basement, so it’s sometimes very cold down there.
If someone, who I didn’t know, walked into my room, they would probably infer that I was a laid back person who LOVED beaches and waves and sand. I play sports and that I have a lot of friends that I take pictures with. I also, have many country CD’s in my room so they would know that I like country music the best. They would also realize that I am a strong Christian because I have my bible and my devotions sitting right beside my bed. I have Season 7 of Gilmore Girls sitting on my chair at the moment because I’ve been watching it.
My bedroom does resemble me a bit, but if you really want to get to know me, then you might want to actually talk to me instead of just looking at my room. :)

Entry #12 - To Be Alone

When I want to be alone, I usually grab my ipod, my notebook, and a pen, plop down in my amazingly comfy chair and breathe. Usually, what makes me want to do this is my siblings making too much noise, I have things to think about, or I just don’t want to hang out with my family when I’m at home. I really love that my room is downstairs down a little hallway so that not much noise gets back there unless there needs to be. As I walk into my beach-styled, plain old’ white colored room, I close the door behind me and reach for my cheetah blanket and collapse on my green-hairy chair. I first off, just sit there and breathe. Just take a little time to let all my anger out. Then, I always pray before I do anything else because that always helps me. No matter where I am, I know I can forget all my troubles when I pray because I no longer have to worry about them.
After that, I turn on my ipod and turn to my healing play list. I then set that off to the side and grab my notebook and pen. I close my eyes, lean back, and listen for words that are cute and amazing lyrics from the songs I listen to. Then, I take what I got out of those words, and create my own lyrics.
Music is the one thing that can’t ever betray me. For every single different mood I’m in, there’s a song for it.
That’s what I do because music is part of who I am.
The best part about that is no one can tell you you’re doing it wrong. (:

Entry #11 ~ Dogs or Cats?

I, personally, prefer dogs because they are most of the time more active then cats. Cats would rather sit around inside and sleep, then be outside running after a ball or playing Frisbee. Dogs will go on walks, go to a baseball game with you, and just keep you moving. While Cats sit around and make you want to just sit down and pet them and not do anything except watch tv and eat. You can also put dogs on leashes when you take them out in public. You can’t really take cats out places because they don’t look right with a leash and then they will run after something while you are out with them. Having to hold a cat in my arms the whole time I’m out of the house is not exactly my kind of fun. Dogs are also able to do more things then cats are. For example, when little kids want a piggy back ride and you are too tired to give them one, if you have a bigger sized dog, then you can just put them on the dog’s back and say hang on tight. Also, some cats are mean to little kids. They put their claws out every single time they see someone new. Dogs are always friendly and all they want is to be petted. They might lick you but it’s cause they’re just big teddy bears.
Dogs are more able to be your friend then cats because cats are way more independent and don’t keep you much company unless you’re a cat lady. :]

Entry #10 - Keeping Secrets

When I confide in a friend, I expect them to keep that secret. I would be very upset if they went and told, for example, one of their friends because they trust them, they think that I can trust them. If I wanted the whole world to know, then I would tell them. Someone telling someone else a secret is a way of letting someone know you trust them. In return, it is a way of testing to make sure that you can trust someone.
There, sometimes, are certain secrets that need to be told but it depends. The only ones that should be told are if they want to kill themselves they are being abused, or if they tell you that you do drugs and that they will let their parents know soon, yet they don’t. Their parents have a right to know that their kid is messing up their life. The only reasons you would tell these is if it is at the worst point it can get to, or if it’s happening more often.
It’s sometimes very, very hard to keep a big secret that is life-changing. If your friend confided in you though, you should really realize that they trust you with that secret and they told you to keep it secret for a reason. Also, if you can’t talk to anyone else about it, you should really take the time to talk to that person because maybe that’s what they need. They might need someone who honestly cares about their problem and trys to help them along because it is so hard to do things on your own.
Keeping Secrets is very hard, but it does mean that you have the trust of a friend, and sometimes that can mean the world to people.
