Go Big or Go Home

As I stand at the top of the snowy hill looking down and my future. I stand there contemplating what's going to happen to me. If I may hurt myself by doing this. Then I think. The hell with it I'm 16 and going to act like I'm 6! I grab the small air tube and sit on it. Laughing like crazy I sit there waiting for my path to clear. I stare at the jump we made and all I do is pray I will make it out alive. My path finally clears and I push myself off. I start to fly down the hill faster than anything. Half way down the hill I start to scream so loud you could hear me from a mile away. I finally hit the jump and fly up in the air. I close my eyes and start to spin. I reach out hoping to save myself but it's pointless. I just hurt myself even more. BAM! Pain is spreading around my body so fast all I can do is lay in the snow. I grab my shoulder now knowing I flew off the sled and did a neck/shoulder/face pant into the snow. People are now around me saying things I can't understand. I can make anything out of faces or what they are saying all I can do is feel pain. I finally get myself pulled together and turn over. I look up realizing who is around me and what they are saying. Pain is shooting in my left shoulder and neck. Yet all I can do is laugh, laugh, and say "Holy Mother of Mary did that hurt!" We all start to laugh. At that moment we all declared that the jump I had just taken was the jump of a life time.

Ignorance Towards Opinions

One thing that I absolutely and uncontrollably hate more than anything else! That would be people telling others their opinion is wrong! Honestly, what the heck! Really now? How can you tell someone their opinion is wrong! It's not yours to choose! It's not yours in the first place! Let people have their own opinion! Don't try to control them! That is one messed up thing. Why would you try to do that! Honestly, if you're saying theirs is wrong your pretty much saying every single opinion on that matter other than yours own is wrong! You know what that would be called? Selfish! That ticks me off more than anything.

I don't get why people ask for others opinion if all they are going to do is shoot it down and say it's dumb.

So here's an example for you. So at my school the Twilight Saga is HUGE! Everyone is reading it and everyone has their favorite character. There's this big fight over who like Jacob and who likes Edward. So if you talk to someone that likes the opposite they get into this dumb argument! It's honestly so dumb. All I want to do is hit the two who are doing this. Yes, I'm not a huge fan of one of them and I do joke sometimes about how I can't believe people like the other one. But I'm not going to say, "what the hell is your problem? Are you the dumb for liking them!" I'm not the stuck up.

It's so ridiculous! I just want to scream.

The other day I was standing with some friends and we got into this discussion. (To tell you the truth at first when barely anyone read the books I loved talking about them but now it's so out of hand I hate it everytime it comes up) Well there was one person who likes Jacob and they shoot down every opinion other than theirs! I WANTED TO SCREAM. I wanted to hit them, tell them to grow up and learn how to listen to others, after that walk away.

People need to learn to listen not just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk talk. That will get you NO WHERE in life. If you can't listen to someones opinion on a book, A BOOK... SOMETHING THAT IS NOT REAL, how are you going to be able to listen to others when you work FOR someone.

It's really not that hard to shut your mouth and listen. Then when you want to talk about it don't just shoot every single little thing down. You are pretty telling them they are dumb and need to agree with you and there's no other choice. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. I don't see how people can do that!

Well that is my rant. My message for you. Don't be stuck up. Don't be ignorant to others when it comes to opinions. If your the one who is shooting every opinion down other than yours, you're the one looking dumb. Listen and shut your mouth sometimes. You don't have to argue every time someone doesn't agree with you. LISTEN!!!! It's as simple as that!

Simple,

At the End of the Day

At the end of a long, struggling and difficult day... At the end of an amazing, almost heaven and nothing went wrong day... At the end of a just plain out boring as hell day... The day your eyes were open... The day you closed your eyes because it just became a little to much to handle... The day your world was flipped and changed forever... The day you had thoughts about giving up... The day you found out you have so much... The day you thought you had nothing... The day you started planning your future... The day you looked at your past... The day you opened up and let someone see who you truly are... The day you let out of the emotions you have been holding in for hours, days, months, or maybe even years...

All of those days have you ever noticed how much you are really thinking about? How many names run through your head. The people you hate, love, don't really care about, barely know, and the people you have seen once; their names are in your mind. It's so random. It's strange. You feel things that hit you so hard they make you cry. Those feelings can make you smile so much it just can't go away and it makes your cheeks hurt like no other but yet that smile is still there which makes you smile even bigger!

Those are the days where you sit in your bed at the end of the day and you just think. You think about anything and everything. The bad to the good. It doesn't matter what it is but it's all going through your head with no control.

Then something happens though. It's strange and you can't quite but your finger on it. Your going crazy it's at the tip of your tongue. Then you just stop. It hits you so hard. So fast your gasping for air. Your head is spinning and all you want is for it to stop.

Those memories... Those thoughts... Everything that was just flying through you head just stops but one thing is still there. One thing. One little thing that you never really even thought about. You didn't even honestly think it truly mattered. At the moment though you realize you have been wrong. So incredibly wrong and you feel like such an idiot.

You realize what truly matters at the end of the day.

I truly wish I could finish this. Tell you what truly matters at the end of the day. Here's the thing though. I can't tell you what it is. Everyone has something different that matters to them. If you don't know yet you will one day. It will hit you like a ton of bricks. Yes, I know it sounds painful but it's incredible. You'll get what I mean when it happens. To be honest I'm so happy I can't finish this and tell you what it is because you're going to think about this now and something will click for you and a smile will pop on your face the second it does. When that smile does reaches your face that's when my job has been done. I hope that I have helped a little in your life.

I hope you realize what truly matters at the end of the day for you. It will almost make life a little bit more easy and joyful. (Less confusion is always a plus)

At the End of the Day,

Maranda :)
