So, after Laura's amazing and inspiring in a weird way, and fantastically written and smart yet hilarious and quiet wonderful post, this post will look and be a big pile of patooie. So bear with me.
I'm listening to John Mayer right now and for all those years of "hating" on him for being a terrible person, he really does have fantastic music. He's still a terrible person but a wonderful musician. And, honestly, I can respect that. (not the terrible person part.. just the music part I guess.) I like music. A lot. You know how everyone has different ways to vent? Or like you do different things when you're upset or need space or whatever? (I'm not making much sense here ladies, am I?)
Well, I don't know if its just me, but I feel like a lot of people go to music. Some people play music- like an actual instrument- but I just listen. I've never been musically talented and I don't think I ever will, but music is like my safe haven. I put my earbuds in and I'm okay. There's always a song that can describe my feelings perfectly. (We all have those songs, don't we?)
Anyway, I just listened to 'Say' by John Mayer, and it made me remember what I really wanted to post about.
Hank Green that life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself.
I couldn't agree more.
When I was seven, I wanted to be a carpenter. When I was ten I wanted to be a veterinarian. Now I want to be an actress and although I'm only fourteen and Laura, you say it's boring to have your life figured out so early, I do believe it's what I want to do my whole life. But I wont go blabbing about my life dreams because, although you say you don't Grace, I agree with Laura on this one. You get so much more done in a day then I feel like you give yourself credit for. You're almost like a lazy overachiever- because you're not like Hannah- who could mow the lawn, read seven books, make fourteen batches of cookies, see all of The Louvre, take over the government and still have time to knit an entire sweater in one day- but you still get a considerable amount done in a short amount of time. Unlike me, who barely manages to get out of bed in the morning, never mind do at least half of my school in the morning plus help Ethan and Lydia. I think you're a pretty great person and whatever you do when you get older, you will be quiet fantastic at it.Your spirit is positively contagious, darling. Don't worry.
So, as you all know, I had auditions on Thursday and they were pretty good. For the most part.
I got into the Theatre department, which isn't exactly what I was hoping for, but I'm going to try and make the best of it. And although Hank Green says we're all terrified- which is true- I'm going to try my very best not too be terrified.. That doesn't mean it's going to work- I am 100% positive that there will be times where I am terrified to the very bone and would rather hide and not do the scary things of sharing my creations, but I am going to try my very best to be as brave as I can for the most part.
Because this world is a big and sometimes terrifying place but there is so much out there to see and I want to see it.
I won't let the scary world get the better of me.
And neither should any of you wonderful, beautiful girls! (We are strong independent young woman who don't need no... no... uhm.. I forgot where I was going with this.)
ANYWAY, the point is, we need to face this world with bravery, confidence and a whole lot of spunk- never forget to be different and don't become one of those people who gets lost in the world of media and the "in crowd." We have to keep this world alive- read books, dance in the rain, become a motivational speaker, drive stick-shift, vlog/blog about interesting things, take long walks on the beach, knit your own sweaters, join e harmony! (Grace if you just got that reference, I will love you forever.)
Anyway, my train of creative thoughts are slowly dying away so I'm going to shut up before I start sounding stupid again.
For now, listen to this song by 5 Seconds of Summer. They're Australian. Need I say more?
Also I may or may not be addicted to this song/band because.. it's like the only punk/rock music I've actually ever liked, and they sing in Australian accents. (Ex. 'And you end up crying, and I end up lying.' such a beautiful accent right there, I'm telling you.)
So yeah. I really suck at ending blog posts so I'm getting this over with as soon as possible. *In Flynn Rider voice* It's sort of an off-day for me....
DFTBA, and Rose, I'll see you on Wednesday.
xoxo, Mercy
p.s I apologize for the immense suckiness of this post... I just suck.
