My New Goal

I see that no one was brave enough to comment their worst fears. That's ok. I know how you feel- it's hard to open up on the web, even anonymously, for fear of being found. I get that totally.

Anyway, my new goal for this blog is to be able to post every day at exactly (or close to) 7:30. I will first aim for every other day, but we will see. I will then be on the blog from 7:30 to 8:00 to have a convo with you via commenting. How does that sound?? Post your response below!

P.S. It will be 7:30 Eastern Standard time, and since these posts are done from a different time zone, it will appear as if they were done earlier/later. :)

Be Heard, Be Strong, Be Proud!!!!!!!!

Here is a list of people that can really inspire you. Or, at least, inspired me. Please check them out. Some of them may be childish, but it really doesn't matter because the important thing is, things are being learned from them. (Not in any order)

1. Steve Jobs: "Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes …the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. …You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. …They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” -Steve Jobs
2. Lemonade Mouth: Childish, yes, but still, they are all about standing up for what you believe in. "Be heard! Be strong! Be proud!"
3. Nick Vujicic: This guy was born without hands or legs, and just has one small "foot" with 2 toes. But did he kick the bucket? Nope. He is currently doing surf, swimming, gulf and soccer. I can't even play that many sports with 2 arms and legs!!
4. Martin Luther King, Jr.: Had a dream that was SO DIFFERENT than what everyone was used to, people must have thought he had lost his mind. But guess what?? I will let you guess.

Down to Earth

Well, first of all, I would like to thank the commenters from the last post. I seriously thought that no one was going to even look at this blog- thank you so much!

You are probably wondering why this is called Down to Earth. Here's why: In middle school, particularly MY middle school, NO ONE IS. Everyone struts around wearing a fake armor labled "I'm invincible." Yeah, right. The truth is, once you get to know people, you realize that 9 times out of ten, it really is just that- an armor. So think about that next time someone says- or messages- that they can beat you up. They aren't invincible. No one is.

And to prove it, I dare you to comment your biggest fear ever below. You can do it anonymously, but please, take off that heavy and stressful armor for once and prove to the world that you are normal. Or at least not fake.

Not Psychology

This is actually not psychology. It's a conscience. I'm in middle school. I go to AMS. I'm one of you. Assuming the readers are other middle schools, or maybe AMS itself. But I know you'll ask: What is this? Let me tell you a story: I'm one of those people who is not popular. Popularity at my school is such a confusing and dumb concept, it should be banned. And there are so many others who feel this way, I'm positive. The social hierarchy is ridiculous. It's a judgement. But, really, who's the judge? I am here to inspire you, like my cover name. I know about every problem that you might come to in middle school, because I am one of you. For example: Stress. Who likes stress? Yet every day, many people feel a pit in their stomach, an ache in their head, a tear in their eye, or the pressure to suck it up. All because of that. But I have actually learned to un-stress myself fairly easily. And I will help you, at least once a week, through this blog. You may think this is stupid, or a waste of time. And if so, then don't follow this blog. But keep in mind: Everyone deserves to be happy. Everyone deserves to live. And if your life is totally fab already? Perfect. Share your advice: comment below!
