TO GAIN IS TO LOSE.

"TO GAIN IS TO LOSE" I was thinking about this the other day, and isn’t that true? When you gain something..doesn’t something always has to be lost? Isn’t there something that is always..I guess you can say, “traded” in a way for something to be gained? Something will always pay in the end SOME type of way. You can look at this as “cause and effect.” But it makes sense right?
For instance here are some examples: When you buy something, you gotta pay. When you eat something, you lose your hunger. When you go out with a friend, you could have missed out on a different hangout with another friend. When you find a new activity or whatever, your gona lose some of your time.. Right?

And then, there are those “cause and effects” where it's a little more serious, and we never really think about it….When you gain the satisfaction of speed and rush way past the speed limit on a freeway, but then you lose your life..When you gain popularity, but you lose your true-self. When you gain a new friendship, but lose another one. When you gain laughter from a "harmless" joke, but lose comfort and confidence from a friend..These are some things that just came to my mind, and I’ve been thinking about it. You’re actions could affect many people without you even realize it. So what are some of the things that you’ve lost in your life..just because you simply wanted a...“gain”…??

I Don't Even Know what I Did To Deserve This {The Stages of Love}

Monday, November 23nd
Scenery: Girl in a cafe, writing a letter.
The mood: Excited with love.

Hi. I just wanted to tell you something. It might repel you, but it’s something that has been keeping me awake. I look at you for the longest time every time I spot you, and I’m starting to wonder of I’m even sane anymore. I wonder if you think of me as much as I think about you. Probably not, but I feel the need to tell you that you are taking over my brain.


I’ve seen you sad, I’ve seen you overjoyed, I’ve seen you bored, and I love it—I love seeing you and spending time with you. I guess what I’m trying to say is: I love you. I love the fact that you’re sweet, captain of the football team, that you want to help everyone, I love your smile!



Forgive me for this intrusion, but seeing as I can’t stop thinking about you, I’m letting you know… I love you.

Wednesday, June 14th

Scenery: Girl alone at the football field bleachers.
The mood: …disappointment.

Hi. All I wanted to say was… I’m just really sad. And may I say, incredibly disappointed. You’ve broken my heart and thrown it in the dirt. Maybe you care, but you probably don’t know it yet. All that’s left to do right now is cry, I guess? Will I cry? Maybe a tear will escape sometime during the day. I won’t be able to help it, of course. I can’t just not cry.


I confided in you. You were my best friend, but now—what am I? The awkward “Hi” you mutter everyday. The text message you reply with one word. The small shadow you walk by everyday.


What’s left? Deep desires to be able to talk you again. Awkward hand waves. Weak smiles. How did it end? One small smile, you didn’t small back. I texted you about your day, you replied with a “good.” With a period. Ended with a period. Translated, it means I screwed up somewhere.


I don’t understand, but that’s life, I guess. It’s how my life was made. Sometimes you can trust someone, and then a few weeks later, they will have moved on. What’s sad is that I still don’t know what I did—all those people who tossed me aside don’t even think twice about explaining. But that’s life, right? “Move on,” is what it’s all about.

continuation of "ding ding first day of school'

Janice Morgan, Janice Morgan, is Janice Morgan here? Thats when I wake from my day dream. Here, I say to Mrs. Robinson. I cannot believe that I just daydreamed my first day of high school here, at Disciple, and me meeting Demetri for the first time, my once best friend and well once love of my life. Wow like wow right now! 9th grade was such a long time ago, 11th grade is totally a different ball game. Demetri his name makes my heart still beat fast but with a sting. Betrayal is a cruel master and Deceit his companion. Demetri and I were such great friends, the best of friends actually. We would talk on the phone for hours, about absolutely nothing. It was great; until he told me he loved me in the middle of 9th grade. I just simply told him that I loved him too but as a friend, he just simple said okay. I thought it would not be awkward and it wasnt until guilt began to arise. I loved Demetri and not just as friends but I was too scared to say anything, for I did not want to risk hurting our friendship. I needed a good friend at this stink hole of a place. So I lived a lie until I could not take it anymore, I had to get it off my chest. I went up to Demetri and asked him a question, Do you still love me? it had been a whole year since he dared tell his feelings to me. His eyes widened, like if he was a deer in the headlights, he let out a big sigh and said, I told you I wasnt like one of these fake people, that I would never deceive to you, so here it goes a long pause happened and then, yes I still love you.I whispered back, I love you too. It was like one of those movie moments. It literally felt amazing, until she came.
Clara was beautiful, a cheerleader, and crazy charismatic, everything Im not. She was one of those girls that got what she wanted when she wanted, and she wanted something, Demetri. At first I was just so happy Demetri was mine until Clara started hanging around a lot more than usual.

Fatskinny: Definition:

[PLOPS PIECE OF CAKE INTO MOUTH. LOOKS DOWN AT STOMACH AND GRIMACES] “God, I am soo fat! I totally just gained like 20 pounds!!! [BURSTS INTO TEARS]

Why is it always the skinny people who think they are fat?? I mean, you see skinny people everywhere poking their invisible fat and calling themselves obese.



Then someone comes along and the fatskinny person is all like: “God, I’m so fat.”


And the other person says: “NO! You’re the opposite of fat.”


The fatskinny person responds: “OHMYGOD!! I’m obese!!!!”

And I am not saying I don’t do that. BUT, why is it the thin people who have these problems???
Does it have to do with the fact that they’re skinny?
Just wondering. I know I know I tend to do that a little. A LOT. Okay.
But still.
Then they start their diets and during the end of their day they are gamboling around with these hideous migraines.
Trust me, I know.


And then I always decide to start my diet. And then my friend calls and says we should go to the movies. So we get some Coca- Cola and tons of chips. And then I spend the night at her house and we eat even MORE junk food. And the day after is Sunday and Sunday is the official “EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT” day.


So that screws my diet.
Hence I tell myself: “You can start it tomorrow.”
Needless to say, tomorrow never comes.

blah blah blah who cares?

So recently it has been on my mind how everything I've learned and ignored actually is used in life. Yea sure it sounds dumb at first, but really how much in life do we simply forget about considering it to be insignificant? Every single action we do makes a different result happen in all of our lives. It makes me think twice before doing anything, because there are no second chances.

As I look outside the window, I look and see


That familiar reflection staring back at me

I wonder if this girl will ever change

With the world around her making her feel weird and strange

This girl has a dream and wants to show the world

That big things can happen to an ordinary girl

She knows she has whatever it takes

To make it somehow and still make mistakes

To live through life with one goal in mind

To search and look and try to find

The answer everyone’s trying to look for

And open that no longer closed door."
