Recently I've had to make millions of choices. Some small like: "what will I eat for dinner." And some pretty big like: "what am I going to stop/start to become a better person." I've been praying and praying for an answer, but I think God knows me well enough to know I have to do this on my own.
My youth group has been doing this Stop Drama Start Love thing where we do just that stopping drama. We're stopping not only pointless drama, but all drama in our lives. Not only would this have been hard any other time in my life, but now with all of this extra stress from breakups and school and family, I don't think I'll make it through this Drama-less life alive.
You know what, I think I just made my first choice.
I will not choose anything, and I will go with the flow.
I will stay drama free.
I will eat whatever is in my fridge.
I will become a better person by doing what feels right at the time it happens.
The future will catch up to me sooner or later.
But for now I'm living for music, God, and happiness.

Kids These Days
Has anyone realized that the kids these days are so different than those from "back in the day." Being 16 my back in the day was like a couple years ago, yet it seems like everything has changed since we were young.
I took the bus home earlier this year and my bus is full of all age kids, ranging from 6-16 years old. I was shocked when this little girl, probably in the 9-10 year old group started swearing and yelling and getting worked up. I quickly turned around to see what was going on and I saw her clutching her iPhone screaming at the facebook app.
I was not only crazy confused, but I kinda got upset. When I was her age I played kickball until 530 every night. Once 530 rolled around I ate a big dinner with my family then spent the rest of the night outside until it started to get too dark.
I miss those days so much. Life has just started to become all about music, God, school, and drama for me.
There's no more kickball.
No more firefly catching.
No more being just friends with boys. Everything needs a label.
Another thing that I find amazing about being a kid is that kids are soo honest. If you ask a 6 year old if they liked the food their mother made, they'd say a completely honest answer. Now we lie more than we tell the truth.
To anyone who's reading this: I dare you to not lie for a whole week. And if you do lie I dare you to confess it right away.
Let me know it goes.
And Lets all play some kickball. Not gonna lie I'm super in the mood for it right now.
