Thanks for deciding that my ideas, opinions, and thoughts were worth your time. I love to write. I am actually working on a novel and am quite excited to show the world a part of my heart and soul.
I will be writing an advice blog. This is mostly for girls but it will have some good information guys might want to know about understanding the teenage girl's mind. I am also writing about some of the good times I have had. You would have no idea how crazy a teenager's life can be until you ask them about it.
I am open to comments and advice. If there is anything I am doing well or could do better don't be afraid to tell me. I really appreciate it.

Self-esteem

So yesaterday night I was checking my email and I found and email from an old friend of mine that I have not seen since she moved a few years ago. She was still in my email address book and when I sent out a mass email telling people to check out my blog she got it. Being the amazing friend that she is she gave me some great feed back. I am going to copy and paste what she wrote.
"... you forgot to put self esteem! well not really but you should say more about it! like it doesn't matter how others think you look but how you look! and even if your not the prettiest you are pretty on the inside! just remember everyone is unique in their own special way! beauty is like a rose, there may be thousands out there but they're still beautiful and all flowers aren't the same, there are thousands of different kinds! each is beautiful and unique and special. never forget that! sorry that's all i have to say! or you could use snowflakes! but i guess they'd be kinda flaky, ha ha get it!? sorry it was funny to me! I don't know something like that!" She is right of course. Your self-esteem should not depend on what others think of you but what you think of yourself. Why would anyone want to care about what others think? Most of the time you are guessing or worrying that they are thinking something about you that they really aren't. Being human means that you are vain. Even if it is just a little bit you are still vain. That is one part of the human mind that we must fight. Don't get me wrong, it is good to care about your appearance but to an extent. Why would you let your self image ride on what others think of you. Some of my favorite song lyrics are from Three Days Grace. I don't know what the song is called but here are the Lyrics: "It's so hard to find someone who cares bout you but it is easy enough to fund someone who looks down on you." That is so true. People are so judgmental and cruel that we would never have any self-esteem if we went on what other people think. Keep that in mind when you go back to school.

Find your name.

This is the definition of Staci. I found it quite suiting. Feel free to go on urban dictionary.com and really see how awesome the world thinks you are.

Staci-

Loyal, caring, sweet, intellectual girl that builds friendships with almost anyone;Will give you the shirt off her back;Loves anything that has to do with the beach, rain, shopping and sports.;She cries at the drop of a dime but she is also a thug;If you ever run into her make sure you never cross her because grudges is something she tends to hold.

"I would love to take someone like Staci out some day ."

The Quote box

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, sensitivity, an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern.”
“Beautiful people do not just happen.”

~Elisabeth Kubler Ross~

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; Who strives valiantly;;; who errs and comes up short again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worth cause; who, at the best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails at least fails while doing greatly,so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
-Theodore Roosevelt

"An audience is never wrong. An individual member of it may be an imbecile, but a thousand imbeciles together in the dark - that is critical genius. " -Billy Wilder

"Life has meaning. The point is to find that meaning under every rock, behind every thunderstorm, in every heatwave, through every rough time. The point is to feel that meaning in every molecule of your body, to feel it in your fingertips down to your toes, to be so filled up with love that you want to shout it out loud. The point is to never forget that life has meaning, and to never take for granted what life has given you."
-Merci Bowden

"May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where
you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are
born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have
received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content
with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there
for each and every one of us."

I jacked this one from my friend's blog. It is pretty epic so check it out at :

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anyone."

-Audrey Hepburn

Quote box continued

"Girls are like apples. The best ones are at the top of the trees. The boys don't want to reach for the good because they're afraid of falling and getting hurt, so instead they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground and aren't as good but easy, so the apples at the top think something is wrong with them when really they're amazing, they just have to wait for the right boy to come along. The one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top." -Pete Wentz

"The hardest thing is holding on, especially when you know he has already let go." -Unknown

"I'd worship the ground you walked on if only you walked in a better neighborhood."
-Billy Wilder

"Tell calm, cool, and collected to take a hike. Whoop it up! Laugh, scream, cry, and holler! And when tons stuff stuffs up your nose, blow it loud and blow it proud! Show your heart and show some tears...of joy and sorrow, in awe and pride. Just let it out!" -Klenex.

"Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show."-David Copperfield by Charles Dickens.

"God will fix your broken heart if you give him all of the pieces." -Unknown

"Girls are like phones. We love to be held, talked to, but if you press the wrong button you'll be disconnected." -Unknown

"Giving up doesn't mean you're weak, sometimes it just means you're strong enough to let go." -Unknown

"Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way, because without it, I don't know, maybe we wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself in the head with a hammer? Maybe because it feels so good when I stop." -Grey's Anatomy

"I AM A DAUGHTER, A GRAND DAUGHTER, A NIECE, A COUSIN, AND A FRIEND. I AM A PARTNER, A STUDENT, A YOUNG GIRL, AND A GROWN WOMAN. I AM CONFIDENT AND SCARED, TERRIFIED AND BRAVE. I AM LOVING AND CARING AND THOUGHTFUL AND HOPEFUL. I AM SICK, I AM TIRED. I AM SHY AND FRIENDLY, AND CAREFUL AND CARELESS. I AM BROKEN AND WHOLE. I AM MISUNDERSTOOD, MISGUIDED, AND MISLEAD. I AM HARD WORKING AND DETERMINED, BUT A LITTLE SCARED ON THE INSIDE. I WISH ON STARS AND DREAM MY DREAMS. I PRAY TO GOD AND CRY MY TEARS. I SMILE ON THE OUTSIDE, WHILE DYING ON THE INSIDE. I LISTEN TO OTHERS WHO WON'T LISTEN TO ME. I WALK ON EGGSHELLS AND I WALK ON FIRE. I BELIEVE IN PASSION BUT NOT TRUE LOVE. I LOVE YOU AND I PUSH YOU AWAY. I WANT YOU BUT NOT SO CLOSE. I AM EVERYTHING AND NOTHING ALL AT ONCE AND ALL I WANT IS FOR YOU TO LOVE ME." -Unknown

"If you love something, let it go, if it comes back it is yours, if it doesn't, it never was." -unknown

"I am nowhere near perfect. I eat when I am bored. I fall for boys easily. I am vulnerable to believing lies. I am hoping that one day I won't need to fake smile. I live by quotes that explain exactly what I am going through. I make up excuses for everything. I have best friends and enemies. I have drama and memories. And that is life. Live it. Love it. Learn from it." -Unknown

"If you looked inside a girl you would see how much she really cries. You would find so many secrets, and lots of lies, but what you'll see the most is how hard it is to stay strong when nothing is is right, and everything is wrong."-Unknown

"Don't you just love how every girl's profile is about that ONE guy and yet, he never knows that every word is about HIM?"

"Love is giving someone the power to destroy you, but trusting them not to." -Staci Lyn

"Tears are just your bodies way of try9ing to show the world a part of your soul"

"Do what makes you happy, be with who makes you smile. Laugh as much as you breathe, and love as long as you live." -Unknown

"The only truly painful goodbyes are the ones that are never said, and never explained." -Unknown

"Every body wants happiness, nobody wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow, without a little rain." -Unknown

"Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.' " -Mary Anne Sadmacher

"Smile, and the world will smile with you. Laugh and they'll think you're on drugs." -Unknown

"I want to be the girl he can be goofy around. I want to be the girl he can tell everything to. I want to be the girl he's scared to lose. I want to be the girl he can hold hands with in public and not care what anyone says. I want to be the girl who is always on his mind. Most of all I want to be the girl he loves." -Unknown

"To the world you may be but one, but to one you might be the world..." -Unknown

"If you don't understand my silence, how will you understand my words?" -Unknown

"The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just have to figure out who is worth the pain." -Unknown

"Corey's eyes are like a jungle, he smiles and it's like a radio. He whispers songs into my window, and words that nobody knows. Corey finds another way to be the highlight of my day. It's hard to make a conversation when he's taking my breath away." -Stay Beautiful by Taylor Swift

"If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree. " ~Jim Rohn
