Memories

I used to live in a small town called Santaquin. Some of you may have heard of it, some of you may not have! I had the mountains right on the other side of my backyard fence. My brothers and I would go and hike those mountains everyday. Everyday until one day, that is. I remember being up near the top when we started hearing odd noises. Then about 5 four-wheelers came racing up the trail. They had been shooting at us with bb guns! There were about 7 teenagers. They were screaming at us telling us to leave. Now that I think about it, they were probably on drugs or something. All of my siblings and I scattered and down the mountain side and they followed us. We hid in trees and eventually met together except for one brother. We ran out to find them with my brother in a head lock. My oldest brother told them to let him go, then eventually he did.  We ran home and they still chased us! I had so much adrenaline in me that I jumped a six foot fence into our backyard. I was EIGHT. Plus I was short as a kid! I was never able to jump that fence before and still couldn't after. We then had the police contacted and people come in with yearbooks and have us pick out faces from the yearbook. We haven't been in those mountains since!

Sacrifice

"The number one thing is sacrifice. If you don't sacrifice anything, you're never going to get what you want in life. You could be good at a bunch of things but literally you could only be great at one thing. So you have to sacrifice all those things. Work, school, girlfriends, boyfriends, whatever the case may be, to be what you want to be, so you'll get there."  - Dominic Sandoval

I love this. It's something one of my idols said in an interview and I agree with it 100%. If we want something that is going to be hard to get, you're going to have to sacrifice a few things, break a few rules, disappoint a few people. It's all a part of the journey and it's what makes us stronger and makes it all worth it. If you want something bad enough, go get it. Unless it's drugs. Then you probably shouldn't be doing that. But don't let others get in the way of your dream. Don't let negativity effect you negatively. That's something I live by. I don't let what others think about me effect me because it can only effect me if I let it. Stop being so worried that someone will look at you funny if you do something weird or wear something weird. Laugh at that funny look! Five years from now, you'll be wishing you would have been more open. Your High School years will only be a memory and they won't matter anymore! So go do something that you normally wouldn't, wear the things you want because hey, if it's you, then it's you! and No one can take you away from yourself! If someone doesn't approve of you, hey! Who cares? It doesn't affect you!

I drew this for my friend for his birthday. Yep it's him!

You jealous, jealous fool...

Jealousy? Do I get jealous? Yeah I get jealous! Jealousy can be a good thing if you handle it the right way. If you take jealousy in a way to make yourself feel like you have less, that's the wrong way to take it! Take it more as inspiration to better yourself! I see many dancers I am jealous of, singers, artists, people in general. Instead of feeling bad about myself, I use it as inspiration to become a better dancer, to do better things. You just need to focus less on how it's something you might not have, and instead be happy for that other person! Yeah, yeah!?

Yep, I dream.

My dreams are... interesting. One of my latest dreams, I'm not sure where I was, but where ever I was, Bruno Mars was there too. I don't know why he was in my dream, I don't really listen to him often. But I started just hanging out with him, having him sing for me, all of that fun stuff. Well I have this good friend named Ryan, or as we call him, Ryanimay, because of his anime like hair and features. If you don't believe me, look up "Ryanimay Conferido" on google images or YouTube. Well, Ryan is not what I'd call "famous," but he's very well know all around the world. So, at some point in my dream, Bruno Mars suddenly became my friend, Ryanimay. I don't know, dreams don't make sense. But we were at this thing called a "Meet and Greet" for Ryan. I just sat with him, we talked, I asked him if anyone else in Quest (a dance crew he is a part of) were going to come to the meet and greet, he said no. Then, for some reason, they were selling random foods at the meet and greet and Ryan asked me if he should buy a loaf of bread... And that's my dream. Please don't judge me. My brain is very odd.

Embarrassing moment???

One slight problem... I have no shame. OK, maybe a little. But by little I mean VERY little. Like you could probably suck it up through a straw. It takes A LOT to embarrass me. The worst of the worst would have to embarrass me. I'm just stalling, trying to think of something embarrassing that happened to me... OK, so this one time, before I lived here and went to this school, I was dancing down the hall with a group of friends. By dancing I mean flailing and pretty much having a controlled seizure. It took about until I got to the end of the hall that I realized my friends had turned into the library. I was embarrassed for about 2 seconds and then I remembered that I don't care what others think about me so I just turned around and went into the library!
