What I Would Like To See In Group

To be honest... I'm not the kind of person that likes to plan or know whats ahead of me. I rather just go with the flow and expect the unexpected. If I know whats going on than it's not going to be interesting to me. So for class and group I'm just fine with the way it is. If I was to choose on what I would like to learn about in class/group, it would be anything that is not boring or sad like, when it comes to reading I much rather read about something exciting and would keep me interested.

This I believe

I strongly believe that love truly is something you can live without, but can't be honestly happy without it either. Love a is very strong and powerful feeling. The way I see it, you can't always live with it and you can't always live without it, so in my best words it's just confusing. I do believe everybody is different though.

I know a couple who is a good example. The guy is almost forty years old and is married. He had one child with his wife, has four kids total, and is living as the homeless. They decided together they only wanted to focus on themselves and live how they want right now and are very happy with that. This man has risked everything he has ever had going for him for a young woman who could be my sister. All because he loves her and has definitely proven that.

My mother is almost forty years old with four kids as well and has never been married. She told me she doesn't ever see herself getting married and she is more than OK with that.

A lot of people do really crazy things for love. I've known an older woman who was married to her husband for over forty years. Her husband passed away and she got a boyfriend a year later. That is what made her happy until this day though. In my personal opinion some people out there should learn to not care and go with what makes them happy as long as it's healthy.

Love can be sad, incredible, confusing, hard, easy or just down right not important to some, but it's there and always will be. I believe love is the best way to happiness. It doesn't have to just be in a spouse, it can be with family, friends, or even a stranger in need of help. I believe love will always be around.

Summer

Summer, in my opinion, is the best time of the year. Winter is depressing, fall is pretty and boring, spring is nice but that's when all the allergies kick in. Summer is the time where you can bar-b-q while in a bathing suit, go to the beautiful beach and enjoy the ocean, go swimming twelve o'clock at night with friends, and don't forget the best of all... camping for more than one night! Haha, and it's the skirt, shorts, and dresses weather. Summer can get old pretty fast as soon as it gets to hot so good thing it's not year round.

Freedom

I strongly believe freedom is a privilege. You can go to any other country and find very harsh beliefs and people who can do just about anything to you. I don't know a whole lot about other countries, but I do know that what we have, is by far a privilege. Yes, we have restrictions as children, young adults, and adults, but we can choose to go to school and work, choose who we want to marry, etc. In order to drive you either have to finish your education or wait till you are eighteen. So we have many good things but we do have to earn most of it, and it can take a little work. I would label all this as a privilege.

Racism

I believe racism is definitely still around. I see it pretty much everywhere, and with people I know. Racism must be the new cool thing cause I have quite a mix of friends who pick on each other all the time about one another skin color. They are all cool with it too, they talk about it and have fun with it all the time. If I was ever in a situation where somebody was truly offended and another was being racist I would most likely step up and say something. Most people come to America or just live here, to be free and have more opportunities, not deal with people like that.

Weekend Plan

This weekend I plan to go camping. My boyfriend, his friends Matt and Chris, and I are leaving Saturday morning. We are going to bring the fishing gear and bait. We might even bring some items to shoot at things. My boyfriend just recently bought a jeep, it has alot of power and is a very nifty vehicle, so I'm sure we might find a little area to tear up some mud. I'm pretty excited and I'm sure the guys can't wait.

Giving

When it comes to me and people that need help or are just having a hard time, I intend to have a big heart about it. Family always comes first for me and if they need help I'm there. I don't pity, though. I believe there's only so much you can do for another till they just have to learn on their own. I think the most important thing you can do for one who is having a hard time, is just support them, help them as much as you can, and encourage them that it's going to be OK.
