What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

There are two people who write music that I respect so, so much.
 Taylor Swift

  And Kelly Clarkson.


Why???


Because, you don't see them sleeping around with everyone, or doing drugs, or drinking like mad. No, you see two self respecting woman doing what they love... And getting back at the boys who hurt them.  


However, I also look up to...

Beautiful Adele.


Why?????


Because, when producers told her she needed to lose weight, she said, "I don't make music for they eyes, I make music for the ears."

I think people often forget the pressure of society, how the "new thing" is to see your ribs and what not. Pffffffft.

I'm freaking proud of my curves. I would hate to wake up one day and be a stick, no curvy form what so ever. 


I'm glad some famous singers stick up for their weight, and refuse to be what the world wants.  Even during this shallow time, role models are still rising from the ground. 


Awesome :)

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving isn't for you.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm really hard on myself.

I shouldn't be, it's just a habit. I expect the best out of myself, before I expect ridiculous things from others. If only more people thought like me.

People have been doing "Year in Review" posts. I'm not too sure if I want to do one, only because this year hasn't gone as I wanted it too, but at the same time, the past is the past for a reason. Why remember your mistakes and misfortunes, when you can instead look forward to new beginnings and adventures? 

No one is perfect, often a phrase we forget, especially in this day and age. Not every boy will text you constantly, no one will ask you out when you want them too, dates don't go as plan, heck, you might even be sitting at home alone on weekends instead of going to parties and hanging with friends. That's not a bad thing.

That doesn't mean your life is over.

Life is always an adventure, a book that we can never find, a chapter that is always being written. Girls are just as much to blame for hurt and pain, and not every romance starts with once upon a time. 

Sometimes, we judge people too quickly. People, their actions, their looks. Why do we do such hurtful things?

We call people awful names. Our ability to speak in grammatical and logical sentences is deteriorating at an alarming pace. Some people who read this won't understand half of the words used in that last sentence.

What we want to be when we grow up will always change. From when we're small, to when we're old. I've noticed that we go from wanting to become a certain occupation, to wishing we were better people, more environmentally friendly, or just hoping that our kids don't end up on 16 and Pregnant. Our goals in life change dramatically. The people we surround ourselves with, change both in body, and mind.

Our occupations change because of the economy, and many find themselves going back to college to pursue a different dream. Our ability to plan ahead is slowly becoming a phase.

But all of this happens because we ALLOW it too. No one is forcing us to change our dreams, wants, desires, we do it ourselves.

Therefore, one thing I want to do during this coming year, is to stick to one thing the whole year. Whether it's a dream, a goal, or a relationship with one of my friends. Whether it's to put a smile on someones face, or to just go on a date on a Saturday. I'm going to find something that makes me want to be happy, and stick to it. For a whole year. I advise you all to take a look at your lives, and find something that you struggle with, and make a goal out of it.

DON'T make it a New Years Resolution, we always break those.

And if you're struggling, always remember you can find at least one supporter,

ME.

Good Luck :)

<3 Chels

Sleeping is overrated.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Chelsea.

She got her hair cut. Then came Christmas.

Santa decided that it was time for her to embrace her inner geek, and gave her the best Christmas ever.

Then Chelsea realized that the end of the year was near...

Chelsea is leaving the past year behind. Broken hearts, Broken promises, scary health situations, everything bad, and if moving forward with the better things in like. Like... her new Job as Supervisor, her ability to live life, and beginning her domination of the game Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3.

Happy New Year Everyone.

Bad things happen for a reason.

If only life was perfect.

Nothing bad ever happened.

No one ever had to go through heart break.

Everyone was considered beautiful always.

Sounds like a good life eh?

Wrong.

I like being an imperfect person. 

It makes me less judgemental, and more forgiving.

It helps me make new friendships.

It helps me flirt with my guy friends who I've liked, but haven't had the guts to flirt with.

It helps me to be a better boss.

It helps me to be happy.

Accidents happen. Heart breaks happen. People suck.

Bad things happen for a reason. It may be unknowing to us at first, but eventually, we see the good that it brings to our lives.

Just remember that no one is perfect. People make mistakes.

People judge others too quickly based on appearances.

I'm glad I don't do that anymore, or else I wouldn't be hanging out with an amazing person. (He knows who he is.)

Your past doesn't define you unless you let it.

So, when you hear that you should put the past in the past and live life in the present, take the advice.

As hard as it is to take my own advice, this time, I'm going to. And if I'm going to, then you sure as hell should.

Bring on this crazy ride.

One of my hardest posts yet.

I hate letting go.  
HATE.
I feel like a failure.
I feel like a loser.
I just want to succeed at everything I do.
Especially when it comes to guys, relationships, and that stupid "L" word.

You know what the problem is? You get attached, fast.
And once you're attached to someone, you do everything
you can to please them and make them happy. It's never
been about what you want, it's always everyone's needs
before your own. You give out too many chances to people,
who quite frankly, do not deserve them. They take advantage
of you, and you become a pushover. But you're okay with that
because they're in your life and that's all you ever really wanted.
And even if they screw you over, you'll still be there for them.
Because that's you, that's who you are. Once you get attached
to someone, they capture your heart and they always have a
place there. And that is why it's so hard for you to let him go.

To the future guy who decides I'm worth it, I can't promise to make all of your problems go away, but I can promise you that you will never face them alone.

And to the guy who this post is all about?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I'm insecure,
I'm sorry that I'm jealous,
I'm sorry that I'm stubborn,
I'm sorry that I'm not your perception of gorgeous.
I'm sorry that I'm not perfect.
I'm sorry that I wasn't good enough for you,
and I'm sorry that I never will be.
I'm sorry that I'm not her, But Really?
I'm sorry that you just lost a girl who truely cared about you,
and you didn't even give her a chance.

Sadly, I believed in second chances, but for once, I don't believe in you.
Don't say you loved me, because we both know you didn't. You just didn't want to be alone.
Or maybe, I was good for your ego. Or maybe I made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn't love me, because you don't destroy people you love.

So, I know that you want to blame this on me, and blame me for being dramatic, but you lead me on, and I fell for it. Hard. And in order to move on, like you want, I have to let you go. Completely. Take me unfriending you, and blocking you from texting me as your welcome for all the pain you've put me through. I'm doing us both a favor. And if you want to change it? You know what to do.

Life is hard. Break ups are not easy, especially if it's not a normal breakup. Having guys as your best friend, then being in a relationship, then trying to be friends again just doesn't work.

Take my word for it,  if you do it, you'll end up like me. Depressed, alone, confused.

Time to let go.
