Being Popular

All of my life I wanted to fit in.

I think we all want to be excepted, maybe some of us more than others. I think it is silly, but yet I still wonder.. "Do I look OK?" "Will my style stand out?" "Will they like me?"

If it is on the Internet or out in public, once in a while that thought would cross my mind.

It use to be more when I was young then it is now. When I was 10 or 11 I REALLY wanted to fit.

I had friends, a great life and everything was easy.

Then when I reached about 15 everything changed!!

Some of my BEST friends just left, I had barley anyone that was my friend and I was kinda THAT person that you called when you REALLY didn't have anything to do.

I was VERY confused! What did I do?? the "am I good enough questions" came back..

Then I really got into horses and I met a friend and things where OK, but this friend was 25 years older than me.. so she was nice to talk to, but not the person you just have a sleepover with..

Catch my drift??

I still didn't have friends and I DESPERATELY wanted friends.

In those times I became much better friends with my family and I learned that being alone was OK.

One week before my birthday something great happened!

I met and AMAZING friend!

Katherine ( i mentioned meeting her), she is AWESOME! We have hung out and rode together and we totally enjoy hanging out :)

Funny how things work out!

Life is difficult, it can rub you the wrong way, but if you make the best of it you can make it through!

Were you popular when you were young?? Are you now?? Do you care anymore??

Feel good about yourself, You ARE amazing!

When I dream...

Sometimes I dream.. Ok I dream a lot.

When I am sleeping and when I am awake.

My dreams make me happy so I plan to never stop dreaming!!

I have been thinking a lot lately about this blog and how I can make it grow! My true dream would to have my blog grow to 100 followers by the summer...

Am I dreaming too much??

If you want to help me just a little.... Would you be interested in doing a guest post swap??

Please email me if you are interested. beateakamp@gmail.com

I LOVE blogging and seeing new followers makes me want to blog even more :)

I love all of you sweet readers,

Why the heck have I been absent??

           








Life has been busy!! I can't even catch my breath.

Sunday I rode horses and visited a friend.

Monday I did my school, went to writing class and rode horses.

Tuesday I did school all morning and in the afternoon I rode with a friend

Wednesday I did school ALL day long, made some cards in the late afternoon and babysat in the evening!

So I am tired, worn out and sleepy. (Yes I just use three different words that mean the same thing)

And Blogging kinda went on my lowest priority list! I have lots of school to finish up, but I promise next week I will have tons of posts... because..

I get a whole week off for Hanukkah Break!!

I cant wait :) Tomorrow I am going to have a post up about Hanukkah, Stay Tuned!

Have the grandest week,

Just Write: Silly Things

I hate it when you let silly little things get to you!

Why do we do that?? Or maybe I am the only one :)

Usually those silly little things are something someone said to you, and you just cant get it of your mind!

All I know is I wish those things wouldn't bother me. Sometimes I forget about them quickly, but usually I stew on those words for a while.

The best thing for me to forget about them is to go riding and let the wind blow through my hair! I pretend that I am the only girl left in the world and that we can just ride for miles.

May sound silly but it works for me. And by the end of the ride all of my mixed feelings and hurts are all gone!

What do you do when you get hurt by someone?

Have the grandest Week,

Stay tuned for tomorrows post where I tell you how my workouts have been going!

Have a great day,
