From 'You Are Remarkable'

7:39 PM

you’re alive. your breath is warm, and there is blood pumping through your veins. you’re human. and you know what that means? you’re inherently flawed… and you know what? that’s fine. in fact, it’s more than fine. you know what it really means? you’re perfect. for all of your “flaws” that are all part of what makes you YOU, you are absolutely, undeniably perfect.

thank you for being you. just the way you are. you are a beautiful, beautiful bird. the most beautiful. and I will always be here to tell you so when you need to hear it most.

Reflect, my child. Reflect

3:35 PM

Maybe it's because one of my good friends is always in a reflective, contemplative mood, but I've been reflecting a lot about pretty much everything. It actually helps quite a bit. Once you've sit down and realize what you've done wrong or right, it's easier to make adjustments to be better. Socrates once said, "the unexamined life is not worth living" (or something like that. Don't quote me on it because I didn't bother to look it up because I'm a bit lazy right now). For example,I've been extremely stressed lately. I've sat back and realized that is all my fault. I procrastinate and have horrible time management skills, so I end up stressing a bunches about something that could have been clearly prevented.

A good way to reflect is with a journal. At the top of the page start with "Yesterday" and from there talk about your entire day. If you get stuck just start another sentence with 'yesterday' and continue from there. Whenever I do this I notice a lot about my self that I would quickly bypass. I notice the little things that would have made my day run better or smoother. So, I suggest to you to reflect as way of improving yourself.

Love,
Leira Violet.

Note from the Universe

7:50 PM

Warming planet - check.
Species on brink of extinction - check.
Ice caps melting - check.
Economies in chaos - check.
You're "in the house" - the one and only.

Grab a seat. We're about to witness the most exciting comeback in history.

How do you always get these leading roles?

Weekly Resolutions

9:03 PM

First of all, I would like to say that I do realize it is in the middle of the week and a little late for weekly resolutions. However, I do not care. I am writing my resolutions now.

Secondly, I will be changing the name, because I'm totally biting off of Gala and I don't like the thought of that. It will be the same in nature, but with a different name. I haven't thought of one yet. Until then, they will be called 'weekly resolutions'.

With that being said, I resolute to...
  • jog/walk everyday for 30 min
  • write every single appointment down
  • Be grateful every single day for at least 3 things

11:52 AM

I'm having a had time accepting he was just having a bad day. My grade is resting on his 'bad day'. My grade is up in the air because I could not handle his attitude today. A part of me wants to believe it was my fault. I went in there not wanting to go to class anyway. Then, I realize the 157 year old gym teacher was being pretty short with me from the get go. I keep carrying the weight of this morning on my shoulders. Ever since I got into the honor society, I've been freaking out over my grades, which will only make it works. I'm worried about my Outdoor Ed. grade. I wonder if he is going to hold this against me and give me a lower grade. I just keep trying to tell myself that he was just having a bad day.

Photography/Art

I really don't know what to call this, but it's art/photography that I found on the internet. The unintended theme is animals.

not private enough

12:53 PM

            I absolutely love my privacy. It is hard to match how much I love being alone. I can stay in a room and live inside my mind for hours. Sounds insane, but I enjoy it. This is why college is so hard for me.

            In college there is no privacy. There somebody any and everywhere. I feel like somebody is stealing the one of the most precious things and it’s draining. Anything that I once thought or feel is something private becomes public and it upsets me so much.

Not exactly free

12:51 PM

College has less freedom, not more. I can’t choose what I want to eat everyday. I don’t have my own car so I have to depend on the MARTA or other people. I can’t just chill and blast music in my room whenever I want to. I can’t go to sleep whenever I want to without having to put my iPod in to block noise. It’s hard to be myself when I’m surrounded by the mainstream who constantly downcasts anyone who is different especially anyone socio-economically different. I feel more caged here than I do when I’m at home.


Love,

Leira Violet

If I were a medication....

5:24 PM

I would be some type of natural medication made from some unknown exotic flower that was a flaming violet color. The nickname for the medication would be ‘happy juice’.

 

Directions:

Take twice a day with energy

Must not be taken literally on many occasions

 

Warnings / Side effects

 

May cause annoyance in some. Either increase intake, decrease intake, or just go with the flow until desired effect.

 

You may experience stomach pains due to uncontrollable laughter. If this occurs just relax and breathe deeply.

 

Patients may daydream often and become more carefree than usual
