Optimism

I've probably written about this a thousand times, but seriously, I am so tired of all the pessimism in the atmosphere. Something goes wrong, oh my world is coming to an end, everything is so messed up. All I want to say is; STOP IT and SHUT UP!

I'm always here to listen whenever you want to talk, but here are some things to not do when you come to tell me all your problems. First, don't start yelling, don't get pissy with me. Second, see first example. Next, don't be so pessimistic. It's not the end of the world. Last, absolutely do not talk to me and before I can help walk away.

I could name some people in this, but if they can't figure out who they are then I haven't done my job as a writer and blogger.

One last thing, stop being so pessimistic. Just for once, humor me, be optimistic. If something goes wrong, try to fix it. If you can't, stop complaining and deal with it. We're not five we should deal with things in a mature way. Things can and will get better and it starts with you. Change your attitude and have a whole new outlook on life.

Apocalyptica

As some of you know, I'm not just a writer. I also play the violin. There are some days it would seem easier to just give up because I can't get the music down or I get frustrated because my strings are way out of tune. That's where inspiration comes in. This year my school got a new orchestra teacher. I must say, she really knows her stuff. The best thing is, she told me about this band called Apocalyptica. Three cellos and a drummer playing rock... AMAZING!

Apocalyptica is the most kick ass string band I've ever seen! After I first listened to some of their music I had to have it. Unfortunately, I currently only have nine songs. Thanks to the new orchestra teacher I have the sheet music for "Drive."

Anyway, let's get back to Apocalyptica and their awesomeness. They've done covers of Metallica songs and they sound great! One of my current favorites is their song and video for "I Don't Care" featuring Adam Gontier, it is one of the most brilliant songs ever! I can't even describe how awesome their music is! All I have to say is go check it out.

Inconprehensible Love

Some may think "Andee, you're too young to know anything about love," but I have to disagree. Babies even know what love is when they're first born and held in their parents' arms. Comprehending love is something no one can do. It doesn't matter if you're five, sixteen, thirty, or eighty-nine, no one can exactly comprehend what love is.

It is a feeling, one of the best feelings in the world. It's so good that sometimes it'll keep you up just thinking about that special person. I think Dr. Suess said it best when he said “You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
Every little thing is gigantic and means more than you ever thought it would. Holding hands makes the butterflies flutter in your stomach. Saying those three words can make your heart race one hundred mph. Just seeing them puts a smile on your face.

Then there are the things you'd do for that person. You know you'd go above and beyond for them. There isn't anything in the world you wouldn't do, because you love them. The trust is unbelievably strong, because for once love has opened your mind and heart. The bond is unbreakable. You'll always be there for each other.

All of these things describe love. They describe how you feel or how you act, but none of them can even compare to what love really is. There just aren't enough words to ever describe love. Love is so complicated that it's simple. The only thing any of us needs to know is that love just is.
