I tossed and turned with all these thoughts filling my mind until   suddenly i was inspired. I took parts from my Beauty blog post and wrote out what was on my mind. Next thing i knew it was 4am, but i was just so excited, and almost motivated by what i had wrote. I decided to film my family, friends and myself to make a video to go along with it. I hope you all enjoy it and you take something away from it.

Life can be such a funny thing. There have been plenty of days where it just seems like i'm dragging myself out of bed, cursing the horrific sound of my alarm ringing loudly in my ears. The sun harshly shines through my dirty glass windows before returning behind a cloud where i'm hoping it will remain. I just want to pull my covers back over my head, and stay in the darkness for just awhile longer. Then there are the days where i awake to the sweet sound of the birds singing, and the wind gently blows the branches of the trees to a calm swoosh. I'm awake, refreshed, and have a bounce to my step. I can conquer the world, and all that my day has to offer. It seems like nobody can stop me and my optimistic attitude.    Life, you're such a silly thing. Each day is new. Each day arrives with a set of new emotions, feelings, outlooks, and perception.   The past few weeks have been absolutely crazy, and just when i think things can't get any worse, they do. ...

We are constantly blinded to true beauty. We are blinded to the light, the good and what is real.  We  fall into darkness, feel alone, and feel that we can not measure up to what this world tells us we need to be. And we become scared. Scared that we wont fit in, or be accepted into this world. The true and valuable things in life are covered up by a society where outer beauty is more important than the things within, and this just seems to scratch the surface of within. But what we never ask ourselves, is why we would want to be accepted into this cold and dark place we call home. When in reality, beauty is so much more. Beauty is the freckles that someone wears across their cheeks, or the dimples unevenly placed when they smile. Its the the sun that peeks through the cracks in our windows every morning, and the people all around us that we don't seem take the time to get to  know. And we take all these things for granted. We have eyes, but we chose not to ...

You wake up on a warm morning, the sun's shining, the birds are chirping, and it looks like its going be a blissful day, right? Wrong. Waking up this Tuesday morning I felt like doing anything BUT  enjoying the sun, the breeze, and the birds. All I wanted to do was lay in bed. And I did exactly that until  I dragged my feet out of bed, and finally began to get ready, only to return to my bed 20 minutes later. I just couldn't do it. I KNOW i'm not the only one that has these days. And to me, that's somewhat comforting. I think that too often we look at everyone else and see the perfect life, they just seem to always have it together. However, behind their closed bedroom door there are tears, heartbreak and hurt. I guess what i'm trying to say is that we're not that different after all. “Barbie”, who sits two desks next to us in Chemistry and all the boys crowd her at every waking moment could be absolutely broken. I mean honestly, you really NEVER know...
