If We Were a Movie...

Life is really weird. This is where it's about to get deep and philosophical. Just excuse me for a moment as I form my analogy.

Every person's life is like a movie. While the coffee barista at Starbucks may be an insignificant character in your movie, she's the star in her own movie, which we will most likely never get to see. What's crazy to me is that we see all of these people every day and we have no idea who they are or what their story is. In fact, most of the time we're too caught up in our own lives to care about anybody else's. The people who we do have in our lives are special. When we talk with them about their lives it's like we're watching Netflix so we can get up to date on everything that's happened so far and then, we get involved with their story and the characters in it. We get emotionally attached.

I apologize if this post makes it seem like I was doing some sort of hallucinatory drug. It's just an observation I made.

I guess the point, or moral, of the story is that we should appreciate the people we have in our lives. Everyone has a unique point of view and an interesting story to tell. But will you take the time to see it unfold?

Teenage Dream? It's more like a nightmare, Katy.

Since puberty seems to be occurring earlier and earlier, kids seem to get into relationships much sooner than they should. Luckily, this has given me plenty of time to form some opinions on teenage relationships, most of which are probably controversial. This is mainly because I look at things logically.

Anyway, teenagers are extremely hormonal and immature. This leads to a lot of problems.

One problem is the fact that no one seems to be able to make up their mind. I know one girl who likes three or four guys right now and each one thinks that he is the only one. All I want to do is say, "Pick one already!" Unfortunately, I'm too nice to do that. Instead, I will just complain about my problems on the internet.

Another problem is the fact that every person I know becomes a total douchebag when they get into a relationship. I get that you aren't going to be spending as much time with me, but do you have to be so flaky? Some people just blatantly ignore me when they're in a relationship, others cancel plans last minute because they decided they would do something with their significant (for a week) other instead. Personally, I prefer the former. At least I can make plans with other people then.

What bugs you about teen relationships?

October Daze

It's finally October! (I know I probably should have made this post yesterday, but I'm not very good at thinking ahead.) While there are many things I hate about October, *ahem* Halloween *ahem*, there are also many things that I like. Autumn is a beautiful season and is one of my favorites.

What's so great about fall? Throwing on a cozy sweatshirt and taking a walk. Hearing the crunch of the leaves underneath my feet. Then, looking above to find a forest of red, yellow and orange. It's absolutely spectacular. Not to mention, the next season after fall is winter, which happens to be my favorite!

What do you like about fall?
