Make A Change

It all starts with you.

Make A Change
the imaginative conservative

Take a look at yourself. Do you like what you see? Do you like the person you are becoming? If you do, keep striving to be the best. If you don't it is time to make a change. I have my up and downs, some times I am becoming more like the woman I want to be and other days I am rude and hateful. Simple stuff annoys me, I complain at what I don't want to do, and I am rude to people. Now does that sound like someone you want to be? No, probably not. Life can be pretty simple. Smile, be happy, and don't care what others think. Yet we complicate it some how?

I get wrapped up in what other people say about me and I dwell on it for days. I am sure you do too. It happens, because we want people to like us. Honestly, we waste so much time on stuff that doesn't matter. If you add up all that time I am positive you could have used that energy some where else. We need to start focusing on what we can change instead of what we can't. We have the power to change a lot in this world, but it starts with you. Stop letting this world put limits on your life. No one has the power, but you.

We rush at the chance to spread articles and information on social media, so use it for good! Do something valuable with your time, give back to others and love deeply. This world is big and its scary, but put a smile on your face and take the world by storm. You can't control what happens, but you can control what it means to you. You can do anything you want with what has been happening in our world, do it for the good of others and this society. Don't be selfish or make rash decisions that will effect everyone.

In this world people hurt people that is the reality of it. You can either dwell about it or move on and make the best of every situation. Love is so powerful and it only takes one person to make a change. Be different and take a stand on what you believe in. We don't have to hate, fight, or disagree on anything. If we could just control how we react to situations and love one another this world would be in a much better place. I pray for a world where we fight to understand people more. We disagree on everything and we fight until we get the last word in. If we could change all that hate and fight think about how much better our world would be?

If you don't like what's happening in the world or who you are becoming it all starts with you. Do something to make the future greater. Don't be afraid to love harder. Don't be afraid to be different. Change starts with one person go against the odds. Things won't change unless we change daily. Be the person God created you to be.

Love more. Breathe. Keep Moving. Subtract the stress. Hate less.

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
