Inspiration from the lord above.
I rarely go to church, but this morning I went for the first time in a while. First, I was irritated because I felt very lazy and did not want to go to a church where I didn't known anyone that would be attending, and I would have to sit through (what I thought) would be a boring sermon. I'm really glad I went, because I learned a lot from this hour long service. The lesson today was "Do not worry about what other people think of you, and look like a fool if it means standing up for your faith in the lord." This was inspirational to me because I just read another blog, that talked about "Reject acceptance, Accept Rejection". This thought blended well with the sermon because even though it wasn't talking about religion, it was the same kind of idea. Honestly, why should I care about what other people think? Especially people I'll probably never even encounter again after that event. I've realized I'm just not going to care. Now I'm not the most religious person in the world, I've had my doubts here and there, but I think the idea of a "God" figure is a great thing to believe in. I think I might go to church more often because I'd really like to have a figure to turn to in harsh times, one that I can feel will love me unconditionally. I think that would be really great.

People
For my first blog, I think I'll talk about something that I question a lot, people. Since I was a little tot, I've always enjoyed studying people. What makes them happy? What makes them sad? What just all around pisses them off? I never really made anything of it, until last year when I first started high school. This event really made me think. I finally got all of these questions answered. In our lives, we meet an astronomical number of people. Some caddy, some friendly, some rude, and some that we just want to knock their teeth into the back of their throats, but they all have something in common, they all have emotions. Emotions really power how we live our lives on a daily basis. If we are happy, we tend to see the positive side of things, and act a little more carefree than a stressed out or upset person. On the other hand, if we are upset, we tend to see the sad side of things, and act a little more, what's the word? I guess secluded, or introvert. When we are living our lives in public, we tend to "wear our hearts on our sleeves." (Some people don't, but most of the adolescents I have sure do.) This means a lot of people want others to know how we feel, even if we don't know it. A lot of people consider this being "narcissistic", but I enjoy it. I like studying people's body language, actual language, and facial expressions when something is affecting them in anyway. It intrigues me actually, because I then base it off of myself.
I think I might like to be a psychologist when I grow up, or maybe a sociologist. I'm only fifteen though, so I've got a least a couple years to think about it.
