Been sayin this for years, man. God and I have a personal relationship, but RELIGION is man made and corrupt.

I think I fall in love a little bit with anyone who shows me their soul. This world is so guarded and fearful. I appreciate rawness so much.

Hi Ally! From your pictures, it looks like you're having a lot of fun partying it up at Brown! However, I really wanted to ask you about the academics and programs offered at Brown. Do you like the atmosphere there? How hard are the classes (that you are taking)? I feel like I want my undergraduate experience on the East Coast!

I cannot speak about Brown without getting overly emotional, so I'll respond to you after I finish my finals. But I 175389307126% encourage going to the east coast for college (assuming you are from California??) and I'm so excited to gush about Brown and my first year experience --- anticipate a response in about 2 weeks! (I finish finals next week but I'm staying til the 24th to work senior week)

The San Francisco Bay Bridge: New and Old

Enjoyed a wonderful photo adventure last Thursday in the city with friends. On the way home we had to stop at Treasure Island for this shot. Such a great time!

I miss my city 

[pastel-cutie]

it’s 2014

let go of people who make you feel negative emotions

let go of people who make you feel like you’re not good enough

be around people who make you smile and laugh

be around people who think you’re amazing 

be around people who make you feel happy

don’t waste another year on people who don’t make you feel like you’re amazing

[abiteofbonbon-blog]

and additionally,

be around people you want to treat even better than yourself

Oh, of course that message wasn't meant to be offensive. Rather, I meant that the pursuit of continuously pushing yourself to be your best even if it means tiring yourself out doesn't stop after high school, does it? If you wanted to take a little time off to think about who you are & what you want to be, you'd fall behind everyone else who's accomplishing the things they've already decided on. And in that way, I guess that's what I meant by competition. Best of luck to you, Ally :)!

Sorry I have had a rough couple of days, so I apologize for the snappiness of my comment. I don't think there's no time to stop and reflect -- that's essential for your health and sanity. But thank you, and I wish you all the best with your endeavors!

EVERYTHING RELATE

Toddler naps with his 2-month-old puppy every day. Blogger Jessica Shyba and her family adopted an adorable 7-week-old mutt. They named him Theo. On his third day as part of their family, Theo joined Jessica and her toddler son Beau for afternoon snuggle time. Beau fell asleep and then so did Theo.The next day, he joined in the naptime ritual again. “And so began,” Shyba says, “the most organic and beautiful friendship I have ever witnessed.” Since then, every day Theo waits for Beau to fall asleep and then joins him for his two-hour snooze.

Omggggg that is so damn cuteeee

[abiteofbonbon-blog]

so the competitive of getting into clubs, programs, and internships dont stop after high school, eh?

Competitiveness/competition* doesn't*

I wouldn't call it a competition. Rather, I think we are all just trying to educate ourselves through various pursuits. We're all striving to be successful and accomplished for our own sake. If anything, these people are not my competition, but instead my inspiration. I'm not sure if this message was meant to satisfy curiosity or belittle my character, but I am just upset by the way this question is phrased, making it seem as though the only way to "[get] into clubs, programs, and internships" is to beat other people. While that could be the case (ie. only one person can become the president of a club), that shouldn't be the main goal. Do it because you want to improve yourself, not because you want to be better than someone else.

I wrote the post below because I am in awe of how successful other people are. Constantly inspired by the dedication and intelligence of my fellow peers. Not because I am angered by the fact that they won the so-called competition, which probably doesn't even exist because we are all trying to pursue such uniquely different opportunities.

If this was not the intention, I apologize

it's like

everyone is doing all these amazing things and making all these amazing plans and scoring all these amazing internships

and i am just there

If you’re feeling frightened about what comes next, don’t be. Embrace the uncertainty. Allow it to lead you places. Be brave as it challenges you to exercise both your heart and your mind as you create your own path towards happiness, don’t waste time with regret. Spin wildly into your next action. Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes; because you’ll never get another one quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a breath and start over. Retrace your steps and go back to the purest place in your heart… where your hope lives. You’ll find your way again.
