Hidden thoughts within the deep parts of my mind

One of my many thoughts that crosses my mind is pain. To be more specific, I think about others peoples pain. It is true that we all have pain, theres pain in everyones life, and it comes in all different shapes and sizes. It comes in a form of abuse, financial issues, negative experiences, negative people, and just life in general is tough for many people. There has to be a way out of it, a way to escape it right? That is what I hope for anyway, I mean yeah it is unavoidable but there has to be a way to lessen others pain. I get caught up in the idea of wanting to take everyones pain.

I wish that I had the ability to take away everyones pain, because pain is suffering that can turn into pure agony, it can hurt so much that all one feels is internal pain day in and day out. The best I can do to help and do my part to help others out is to make jokes, and offer my support to the best of my abilities. I know what it feels like to be at a really low point in life, the point where you think its time to call it quits, the point where you think you have fought enough. You believe that you have reached that point where you are about to break for the last time for good, you believe that you are not going to survive any more storms, you believe that after all this time of boxing that its the final round and don't want to get up. I want to let you know something though. The pain you feel, it will go away and do you want to know why? It will go away because no one suffers forever.

The secret is to start loving yourself, to start believing again, to dream as if you were a kid, to take steps to get out of your dark place. You think it is too hard, use your support system, don't have one then email me and get into contact with me, get help, you have to find that strength in yourself thats been there all along, you have to keep walking the pathway because your journey of life is only just getting started. The good parts are coming so don't miss out.

Think about this too, if we don't have pain, if we don't suffer then how will we know what happiness is, what true happiness is? Why would we appreciate it? Why enjoy it? We know what happiness is because we know what it means to be in pain. We can use our past pain to make the world a better place so that no one has to suffer the way we did, we can help each out, we can teach others, and when it is all said and done then we will look back on the bad times together and see the pain as a blessing. The pain helps make us who we are so wear those internal scars with a smile, and show others and have a conversation with them. The pleasure will come after you go through the pain. The pain will not stay forever so go out and be your amazing self. We all have this light about us, and all of our souls are beautiful so shine bright ladies and gentleman.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
