Success

I was in one of the classes a week or so ago & my teacher asked the class to write a short paper on what success is to us. And who we wanted to become in order to make ourselves feel successful. And while most of the people in my class wrote about wanted a nice house, with nice cars.. I couldn't seem to convince myself that money was what would make me feel successful. It just wasn't right. So I thought, and thought, and this is what I came up with..

I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen  & on my paper I simply wrote "I want to be happy." And turned it in. I think I fully understood that assignment, and I'm expecting a really good grade. 

Yes. It's that simple. 5 words. "I want to be happy." That is success to me. Happiness comes from a lot of things. To be truley happy, takes a lot. I want to stay healthy. I want to live out a comfortable life. I want to marry one man, and remain in love with him for the rest of my life. I want to get old, and I want to watch my grand kids. I want to die with a happy heart. No burdens. And no weight on my shoulders. I want my future kids to live a life like I have. I want to give them everything my parents have given me. I want to enjoy going to work. I want to keep great friends. I want to enjoy all the little things in life..

.. I want to be happy. 

When you can't sleep, rebel. 

Your politics are incorrect..

So, as I was driving to school the other day, doing my usual observations of ALL my surroundings. (Yes, I'm pretty sure I suffer from ADD) when I noticed something that really got my mind going & the more I thought about it the more it grinded my gears, so I'll share it with you guys.. Here goes..

I got stuck behind this vehicle, an SUV of some kind. And no, I'm not here to bitch about how unrealistically slow this guy was driving, I'll save that for another time. So while I was behind this guy I decide to check out his numerous bumper stickers on the back of this persons vehicle. So I looked at his cheesy "stick family" sticker & the numerous stickers that represented the places he had travelled to on vacation & then I saw it.. A "McCain for President" sticker loud and proud on the back windshield. Oh my lord. Really? I'm all about expressing your opinion. After all, I own I blog. That's what I do. But that election took place my FIFTH grade year. FIVE whole years ago.  Yes, I'm only in tenth grade in case you didn't already figure that out. But, back to my story (see i told you I had ADD) This bumper sticker was picking at my nerves. I wanted to grab the man driving that vehicle and shake him. I wanted to explain to him that it was too late! That They're hopes and dreams had been crushed because that election is over and it's time to remove that sticker! The "McCain 'Plane'" has taken flight and is probably at the bottom of the ocean.. (Too soon? Sorry) ((Malaysian joke)) 

So anyway, to conclude my rant, here's a friendly tip from me to you. If your one of those people with an old, irrelevant sticker on your car REMOVE IT. It's in the past now and you're guilty of extreme POLITICAL INCORRECTNESS 

These lyrics are seriously the anthem to my life. Growing and learning. I love this. 

Feeling my way through the darkness

Guided by a beating heart

I can't tell where the journey will end

But I know where to start

They tell me I'm too young to understand

They say I'm caught up in a dream

Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes

Well that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time I was finding myself

And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world

But I only have two hands

Hope I get the chance to travel the world

But I don't have any plans

Wish that I could stay forever this young

Not afraid to close my eyes

Life's a game made for everyone

And love is the prize

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time I was finding myself

And I didn't know I was lost

Didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know (didn't know, didn't know)
