be the change you wish to see in this world - ghandi

So I haven't even mentioned my trip to Kenya to you guys. It's so hard to sum it all up but it was just absolutely amazing. I would go back in a heartbeat. The people were the kindest and sweetest. The children were adorable. It just makes you appreciate everything you have so much more. They have very little, yet they are so happy and grateful. It's amazing!! I changed so much since before the trip. I realize that you shouldn't take things for granted. Just be happy. 

Here's some pictures of my trip. I went with Me to We/ Free the Children. It was great. If you ever get the opportunity, go!!! 

Old school and Free the Children's New School

The kids always wanted us to play with them

We push ourselves so we can have a better tomorrow. Why can’t we push to have a better today? We work hard so that we will appreciate life in the future. Why can’t we appreciate what we have right now, today? We worry about dying and forever being forgotten. Why can’t we focus on living in the present and being remembered in the heart of a single individual by making a difference in their life, today?

be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse i love you :)

Sorry it's a short post. Too busy doing bio homework :(

We must hurt in order to grow, fail in order to know, and lose in order to gain; because some lessons in life are best learned through pain.
Don't let yourself become so angry that you stop loving, because one day you'll wake up from that anger, and the person you love will be gone.

We think we know who we are but we don't, not until something bad happens to us.

There’s no shame in being afraid. Hell, we’re all afraid. What you’ve got to do is
figure out what you’re afraid of. Because when you put a face on it,
you can beat it. Or better yet, you can use it.

 Thirty days until Kenya :)
 

You ever wake up from a really good dream and try to get back to sleep?
Or you got the flu and you promise yourself that you’d appreciate normal
so much more if you could just get back to it. That’s the way I feel.
I just want things to go back to the way they were.

When it comes to relationships people are always so scared of the what-if's that they forget the what-is. 
They spend so much time thinking, 'What if I get hurt?' and 'What if it doesn't work out?' 
that they stop thinking about that things that are already real. They forget the feeling they get when the person 
they love walks into the room and the excitement that rushes through them when the phone rings because it might 
be the person they are waiting to hear from. Never let the fear of what-if stop you from letting yourself take a chance on love...
because "what if" this is the person you're destined to spend the rest of your life with?

 SO ADORABLE :)

Cause honestly I don't know what I'd do If I'd never met a man like you.

There's two parts to everyone; what they let come out
of their mouth, and what stays in their mind.


Do you know what makes the first love different? It's the only history in one's life that never repeats itself


One thing I've come to realize is that love is not always happiness. There are tears, anger, confusion, fears,
but at the same time there are smiles, laughter, joys, and understanding. All of those things can happen,
that's why love is such an emotional thing. You can feel so many different emotions at the same time


It's funny how you can have all the friends in the world, but it just doesn't feel right without that one person


Sometimes love is like you're on vacation, but instead of enjoying the sun and the palm trees, 
you're worrying the plane is gonna crash on the way home 


Inside I built a wall so high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall. One touch, you brought it down. 
Bricks of my defences scattered on the ground. And I swore to me that I wasn't going to love again. 
The last time was the last time I'd let someone in.

Too many people are living for compliments, instead of accomplishments.

Live your life, take chances, be crazy. Dont wait 'cause
right now is the oldest you've ever been & the youngest you'll be ever again.


I don't doubt myself because of you. I feel like the best version of myself when I'm with you, and that makes me doubt everything else. 
-Keeping the Faith

you're perfect.
because everything you do makes me smile.
because every second spent with you is worthwhile.
because when you laugh at me, i laugh too.
because everyone else can see i'm devoted to you.
because i love your eyes and the way the shine.
because you don't tell lies.
and you're so cute when you whine.
because when you're mad you can't hide it.
because when you're sad i can find it.
because the way you hold me sends shivers down my spine.
because i can never stop thinking about you.
it's not fair, because you're just so perfect.
and no one else can compare.


the best boyfriend you'll have 
isn't the best looking, the funniest, or the richest.
it's the one that makes you feel
beautiful, hilarious, and like a million dollars.
he makes sure you know he loves you.



i may not be 5 gum,
but i can still stimulate your senses.

anyone can give up.
it's the easiest thing in the world to do.
but to hold it together when everyone would understand if you fell apart,
that's true strength.

dear young girls losing their virginity,
if your age is on a clock,
you are too young for a cock.

woah, never gonna grow up

Short post, but I'll have more this week because no exams!! But PLL tonight :)

Look, I don't know if there's only one person on the planet you're supposed to be with. But when we're together, it sure feels that way.

Stories never really end...Even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don't end on the last page,
any more than they begin on the first page.

The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the
strongest. And the first to forget is the happiest.

If steroids are illegal for athletes, 
shouldn't photo shop be illegal for models?

The naked truth is always better than the best-dressed lie.

We refuse to see how bad something is until it completely destroys us.

Take the risk, forget the fall. If it's what you want, it's worth it all.
