Words of Wisdom

When attempting a difficult task that may never end the value of what you are doing could become very low. When you know that you are doing something that you will not be able to finish someone could become frustrated and give up. Sometimes I feel this way when trying to get my brothers to learn the right way to behave, and eventually give up after fifteen minutes because I realize that they are boys, and will probably never change.

One change that I have noticed is the way we dress. Back in the fifties and sixties women would wear very modest clothing a lot of times being big poofed dresses there hair all nice and pinned up and glove to make their outfit elegant. Nowadays girls wear shirts half way up there stomach, shorts that show there business, and maybe even a dress that cuts off right below their butt. This is one change that I really wish we would go back to because even back then when you were not dressed up, you still looked more classy then half the people today.

I believe that public opinion may actually make us less virtuous because we get to busy caring about pleasing others eyes, and what they want to see instead of what we actually believe. Everyone gets to caught up in trying to impress everyone else that we sometimes do things we would never do if we would have sat back and looked at it first. I definitely do not think as many people today have as high of morals as humans once did, and I am sure that it will not get any better. An example that I see often is the lack of people going to church. Probably the last 50 or so years in America, there has been a downfall in church attendance. I believe this is because of all the new technology, the laziness we have acquired and honestly the lack of morals people show nowadays. With all of the new laws changing show much in our world I am sure we will never be the same. It is crazy to think how just having the right set of morals the world could be a completely different place.

Look For The Reason

People collect things like beer mugs, ceramic dolls, and owls because these items may have some value to them. Most of the time if someone has a collection of something they either really like that object or they find it important to have. Also a little girl might get some kind of barbie from her grandma every year and so when she gets older she will have a collection of dolls that mean something to her. I have a bunch of beanie babies from when I was a little girl put up in my attic. Even though I do not use them anymore they were a part of my childhood and the people that gave them to me were close and important so that adds to the value of the little animals. My mom and dad collect Harley poker chips because it reminds them of all the places they have got to go together in life. As you get older and go over to your friends and families houses you may notice that they may have a collection of some sort. This is a very common thing and it could be of various items. Everyone is different so there is no telling what someone could be collecting but whatever it is I am sure it has a purpose behind it. Sometimes the things people collect may even be displayed in their house somewhere so they can share what they enjoy with everyone that walks in. Having a collection of an item can be very cool and mean a lot to you as you keep collecting. As you get older you can look back on all the pieces and be like wow!

The Little Things

A little thing that drives me insane is how everyone is always on their phone nowadays. If you go to a restaurant half of the time almost everyone has a phone in their face. It frustrates me whenever me and my boyfriend go out on a date and he is on his phone checking up on sports; I guess he does not realize that is what I am interested in at the time. Both of my brothers are always either on a phone, a tablet, computer, game system, or something. They both act like they cannot survive without it. Late at night when it is time to go to bed I got to tell my brother to get off of his game station and beside him he also has his computer on watching something and his phone right beside him. This probably has to be one of the most annoying things to me and I have no idea why. I feel like electronics are literally taking over everything, especially how kids interact with each other today. It is hard to get kids up and outside because they would rather sit in side on a phone or computer. I personally wish that electronics did not become so crazy needed in today's world because now that is all that you see. I wish you could still have a nice family dinner where you actually talk to each other but instead you just send snap chats  of yourself whenever they are sitting across the table. I really find this so annoying but I guess I will have to get over it eventually because there is probably no turning back.

Old habit

Back in middle school one of my habits would be putting on makeup before ever leaving the house. As many young teenagers we are very insecure and want to hide what we think we see. Although I did struggle with severe acne there was no reason to try and "cover" it up because it was a part of who I was at the time. My habit was not leaving my house without face makeup on. Its appeal was that it was covering up some of the redness on my face and making me believe that I looked better when I wore it. I got rid of my habit around tenth grade whenever I ran out of makeup for a few days and realized I really did not feel any different without it. I figured that it was better for my skin to take a break anyways and to this day I still do not where face makeup because I feel there is no need for it anymore. It does not really do much for me anyways.
