"Nothing Is Impossible"

I grew up watching Disney movies, and more then likely have seen them all. I can probably name all the characters and quote half-if not all-the movies. My favorite as a child was The Lion King, but as a teenage psychopathic kleptomaniac, my favorite is Alice in Wonderland. I have an over active imagination, and have often daydreamed of what my own world would be like. Alice in Wonderland completely captures that very daydream. I'm not saying I want my world to be like Wonderland, but the movie itself about a girl who falls into a dream of her fantasy world reminds me of myself in Freshman World History class.

My absolute favorite quote comes from the Doorknob, "Nothing is impossible". True, in Wonderland nothing is impossible and I know very well in reality there are several things that are impossible. However, installing that into a Disney movie targeted for children, and having that taught to children why they're young seems almost vital to happiness. Living your life with the determination that nothing is impossible can cause some pretty awesome outcomes.

It holds the same element as "you can be whatever you want to be". Both seem like lies, like their only words of encourage for a few moments until you get distracted my the real world. But ignoring the chances of either ever being true and living your life with those as your motivation could make some seriously amazing things happen.

I wish as a kid I would have paid more attention to that silly talking doorknob, and understand what he was saying. I'm not afraid to admit that I live with a cloud of impossibility over my head, but maybe if I had it programmed into my head that "nothing is impossible", I would have a brighter outlook on things. So, there's no hope for me, but hopefully someone else will pick up on the hint before they befall the same fate as me.

Where you go?

Once again it seems as if I have neglected my blog for an extended amount of time. Why is this? I got a life. Miracle! I'd rather be a busy teenager with no time to blog then a bored girl alone in her room blogging her life away. Point is, I have some free time with is more so rare then it used to be, and I feel the need to give another update on my life, my real life!

1. I'm a Junior in high school now
2. I went to Alabama and Texas this summer
3. In four days my male companion (Shawn) and I will be celebrating six months of happiness-he tops the charts
4. Ignoring the hate Honors English has for me, I have returned to it
5. I started babysitting, yay money!
6. I've became a very impulsive shopper
7. I've finally discovered that I have shiny object syndrome
8. I got texting!!!
9. I dyed my hair, yet again
10. I saw Transformer 2, although I've never seen the first one...

So, this list is much shorter then the last. Although now I have a real social life in which a verity of things happens upon, much less things have happened that I view as epic enough to share. Epicness has become the norm for me. And I love it! I love having an adventure every day! Everyone should strive to have some type of excitement on a daily basis, and never let life getting boring. EVER.

Keep the Change

For some strange reason the other day I was thinking about Wesley (only god knows why), and during my train of thought I remember this one time when we bought a pack of gum and he gave the lady five dollars and told her to keep the change and she looked at him like he was crazy.

Well, after that memory I started thinking about how "keep the change" is rarely, if not never, used anymore. Seriously, when was the last time you told someone to keep the change? Or even heard someone say it? That day with Wesley was the first time I remember ever hearing anyone say that. And the woman's reaction made it all too obvious that she wasn't used to such out of place kindness within an environment bulit all around saving money, not giving it away for no real reason.

Overall though, it's a nice suggestion that implys more then just "I have money too burn". It's a simple act that people think nothing of, and the fact that there are still some people willing to say "keep the change" means that America hasn't been doomed just yet. There's still a glisten of hope for the kindness, and it's nice to know some people are working to reserve, and possibly restore that. So next time you buy a pack of gum, give a little extra, and just tell them to keep the change, maybe more people will catch on. I did.
