Teaching Myself

Letting fate run its course. I'm kinda winging life right now.

You gave me life. You are why I'm here and it breaks my heart everyday that I can never be with you to wish you a Happy Mother's Day, Easter, Halloween, even just a happy random Monday. Although I do feel robbed of a normal childhood with bedtime stories or even having you there to help me when I felt like life was unlivable. I don't dwell on it because I wouldn't be who I am today if this were different. My heart aches today every year knowing I can't be there to tell you how much I love you. Happy Birthday Mom.💛

I think about suicide more than I should.

This is me. I struggle on a daily basis to explain how I'm feeling. I lie to myself and say "I'm so happy!" in hopes that if I hear myself say it enough it will happen. I know I don't have it as bad as others, but since when do we base how we feel on how good or bad someone else has it? Everyone feels differently. I don't want to say I'm completely unhappy; I still smile at pretty things and laugh when something is funny but it doesn't feel genuine. I want to be happy. I need to be happy but I can't seem to shake this dark feeling that covers my heart. I can never seem to fully explain my feelings at any given moment but I am trying to figure out how exactly to do that. Maybe someday...

Another way to present the 9 types of intelligence as exemplified by my How Do We Measure Intelligence post.

The basic idea is that different people are good at different things. These 9 probably don’t cover the wide range of smarts we all possess, but it’s a start.

As Albert Einstein said, ”Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

Not enough people realize this. This is why I don't believe in standardized testing in schools because I think it does nothing but make some people feel like a lost cause. Everyone has a special talent and I think teachers should want to dig deeper to find that in each and every one of their students. It's a shame that it isn't that way.

My thoughts 💭

I remember my mom blasting her album 'Jagged Little Pill' to wake me up for school every morning. We'd sing along and get ready together. It made the happiest I've ever been. She's an angel. I can't imagine my life without her music. #bestmemories #wcw @alanis
