  • Featured Question

    Personally, I think this question is kinda dumb. However, I'm in a pinch for time, so I'm going to answer it!
    Uhm, how long did it take to move into where I live now? About two days maybe? To unpack it all took pretty much forever. Now that I've answered that lame, two to three word answer question. Maybe I can think of something worth writing?

    Okay, who know's who Andrew Wyeth is? He's an american painter (some pictures of his work below). He died early Friday morning (the 16th) at 91 years old! HOWEVER, he is not what my post is about. I'm talking about age people! This man was nintey-one years old! That's a long time to be alive, and he was still doing what he loved. I think that is a real life. To get to such an old age and still be doing what makes you happy. That's how I want my life to turn out. Andrew's thing was painting, mine is music. I want to be 90 years old and still be able to play my viola and enjoy it. My great-grandmother died in 2007; the significance of this is that she was BORN in 1907. She lived to be 100! Think of all the things she saw! She saw both world wars, the great depression, she was around for the first movies, the first airplane, the first television, the first radio! I want to live a life like that. Not only did she live through all these great things, she wasn't a sickly old woman, not in the least! She worked on a farm all her life, and when she had to move in with my Grandma, she converted half of their HUGE backyard into her own personal farm/garden. She kept horses and rode them (not very fast though) at 100 years old!

    These are the type of people that inspire me.

    Who inspires you?
       

    I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

  • This is for you.

    This is something for those who have been treated badly by someone you love the most. For those of us who've hidden in fear of their words, not even their actions, just their words. Who've spent nights crying because you arent good enough. This is for those who've been called 'useless' and 'pathetic' on a regular basis, simply  because the person they've spent their whole life trying to impress cant get ahold of their own emotions long enough to realize they're hurting someone.

    This one is simply for you. You need to realize that you are good enough, no matter what this person may say. No matter who they are, they shouldnt have the control over you to continue to put you down on a daily basis. I dont care who they are, your mother, your father, your 'best friend', your ANYONE, they dont deserve to have that power over you. Stand up to them. Just do it. Dont let anyone tear you down.

     

    That's all, for now.

    Insecure?

    Nicole Kidman was quoted on a radio show in Sydney talkinng about her latest film, "I can't look at this movie and be proud of what I've done. I sat there and I looked at Keith [Urban, her husband] and went, 'Am I any good in this movie?'"

    For some reason, that quote just makes me smile! I dont want to generalize and way that we all love Nicole Kidman, but she is pretty great (in my oppinion anyway). It makes me thinkg really; she's someone who is talked about often, and praised on her good work in movies, but she's still insecure about herself. That just shows everyone else that it IS okay to be insecure! We all have our moments of self doubt.

    Like what I said above, It's okay to be insecure now and then, but what about those of us who are insecure ALL the time? Those people (I am one of them) that is always finding something wrong with their appearance or the way they do things? Is this an unhealthy thing? I would imagine it is. The ideal is that we love ourselves fr who we are, right? BUT there are some of us who just cant seem to do that. How do YOU reccomend we overcome this? How do you think we should try to love ourselves?

    OKAY GUYS! I really need comments! I've goten only one since I started. I know I havent updated much, but you know what? If I had some encouragement, I might really want to go on. Tell me if what I'm staying doesnt make sense, or if you like it TELL ME! I would LOVe LOVE LOVE some feedback. Thanks so much!

    Best way to resolve long term conflict?

    Hey readers! I cant think of too much to talk about tonight, so I'm just going to answer todays...

    FEATURED QUESTION!

    Okay, yes I realize that it's not as exciting as the big font makes it out to be. But here goes:
    What is the best way to resolve long-term conflict?

    Hm, this one's kind of tough. I would say first off, you need to learn the other side of the story; wouldn't you agree? I mean, how can you resolve conflict if you dont know what the other person was thinking? We all think differently here people! Okay, but really I think the real issue for most people is that they are too stubborn to admit that they might be/are wrong. I know many, many, MANY hard-headed people that refuse to ever admit that they are wrong or have made a mistake, thus causing conflict with their friends (ahem, I might just be one of those stubborn people. But also, we (as people) need to learn to forgive but not forget. If you forgive, but then forget what good does it do because it's most likely just going to happen to you again!

    Also, I think we all need to get over ourselves. We all blow our problems SO out of preportion! She stole your boyfriend? So what? I guess he wasn't a very good boyfriend if he's able to just leave you like that! GET OVER IT. Don't hold grudges; I think grudges are one the the main sources of regret for most individuals.

    I mean yes, some things are unforgiveable, and if that's the case, I'm terribly sorry because I know that feeling and it's one of the worst in the world. Don't worry, it will pass and you will forget about them. Don't hold onto what you no longer have. If you lost the trust in the person, DONT give them a second chance, just move on.

    Okay, well there's my rant for today! Come again tomorrow for another PinkHink. (I promise I wont do the featured question unless it's really good!)

    Over and Out!

    Ugh, Friendships.

    Hello again! How is everyone lately? Good! Now, onto my topic for tonight...

    FRIENDSHIPS

    Yes, this is what I'm going to talk about. Friendship. The reason is because it's what's on my brain. My question is: Do you ever really know your best friend? We always seem to think we know them just fine, and then one day *Poof* something totally unexpected and out of the blue happens! Have you ever felt like that? It makes me feel totally betrayed. I dont know if I feel this way about myself or about my "best friend".

    Also! What's your oppinion, should a girl choose her boyfriend, over her bestfriends? Think about it from our situation, we're in HIGH SCHOOL for those of you reading that didnt know! What are their real chances of it being "true love"? And even if it is, what are their chances of making it in the real world when they are so sheltered they dont even know what's going on in their own backyard?

    Slim to none... AND SLIM WENT HOME.

    I really dont get the way some girl's minds work. Except I do get the fact that most of the time, THEY DONT. And I'm sorry if you find this post to be me just ranting and raving about friend mishaps, but you know it's just changed my whole outlook on most people. I'm not going to go into the whole ordeal, because then you'd stop reading and it's just stupid high school drama-rama!

    SO! In the end, my main question is: Sisters before Misters?

    Thanks to you if you answer for helping my site become more popular!

    (Oh, and the book I posted that I'm reading is REALLY GOOD! You should check them out. The Heather Well's mysteries by Meg Cabbot. If you want the title to the first one, just ask me!)
