FAVORITE FALL MEMORY

-
My favorite fall memory was from last year. My best friend was over at my house studying and we decided to take a break. I had promised one of the neighbor girls that we would go collect all of the leaves in the street and make a huge pile. When me and Emma went outside, she was there waiting for us. It took us a few hours to get all of the leaves together, and by the end of it, we were standing knee deep in autumn leaves. Even as a middle school student at the time, I was able to enjoy the simple things and build a leaf pile. Around that time, I had also injured my finger and was required to have surgery. My left arm was in a cast, as you can see in the picture and it was hard for me to do a lot of things at that time. Building this pile may seem stupid and minuscule, but really lifted my mood at the time.

my earliest memory

-
I was three years old when my brother was born. My unwavering love for him is the first emotion that I remember feeling. After he was born, I was no longer the center of attention in my family. My first vivid memory of him wasn't him in the hospital or even at home. He wasn't depicted in my memory. However, it showed my pure love for him at the tender age of three. I was standing in the hallway outside of our rooms. It was late at night and I am pretty sure that he was already asleep. I was wired, bouncing off the walls so far into the day. My mom was there, holding a voice recorder. She taped me singing a song about my love for my brother as I danced in the small hallway. There was nothing but sheer happiness and joy all over my face. I was as pure and innocent as I would ever be in my life. I stopped singing in front of people as I grew up and I never wrote another song that I actually liked. I'm sure that I was aware that I was not good at singing, but I didn't care....

12 things to remember after a surgery

-
Relaxing is a good thing, take the time to heal. Distract yourself by doing something you love. Try to avoid negativity and encourage positive vibes. You can't do everything you want to. Learn to accept that. Take your brokenness and turn it into motivation to improve. If you need help, always ask for it. Put your pride behind you. Try to stop stressing, it won't help you accomplish anything productive. Know that there are people thinking about you and praying for you. Listen to your favorite music and create an atmosphere that you want to be in. Surround yourself with happy people that will make you laugh until the time flies by. The surgery was done to help you; eventually you will be stronger and healthier than you were before. Don't slack on your physical therapy or instructions, it sets you even further back.

collateral beauty

-
Collateral beauty is by far my favorite phrase to always go back to. It doesn't matter what your religion is or what you look like, you can always spread beauty throughout the world. I strive to spread positivity and never tear people down, but that is just the way that I view beauty. Beauty can be portrayed as happiness and love. It can be physically describing the state of the Earth or a person. Everyone has the opportunity to share and spread their definition of beauty around where they are. Videos in which one person's good action leads others to follow can instantly inspire me. You see people doing good, whether its buying someone's drink or helping someone with a task. Why doesn't everyone follow that example? Why don't people just step out of their comfort zone and take a risk? Why can't I find a way to help someone? By taking a step back and uncovering the positivity, you can refocus your intentions and truly discover a way to be a part in the collateral...
