Day 15

Day 15: a song that makes you cry and why?

I couldn't possibly single out one only, because there are many songs that make me cry. Not always because I'm sad though, sometimes I've cried in songs because they are just really emotional or sometimes even because they are really happy, yes sounds a little crazy. I don't often cry in songs though, but one that seems to get me almost every time is:

'WHEREVER I GO" by Miley Cyrus.

Most people really don't like her, but I actually do and this is one of my favourite songs by her. It was actually written for Hannah Montana (her disney show) when Miley reveals that she is Hannah, but it is just such a beautiful, sad song. What I like about it, is that even though it is about leaving, forgetting and moving on, its also about accepting that it will always be a part of your and being excited about new beginnings. 

Take a listen and see what you think. Don't comment if you hate it though, please, because that's fine, its your opinion, but please rather don't rash on a song that I really like :)

Day FOURteen

Day 14: write about something you believe in, anything at all:
I believe that you should treat others as you would wish to be treated. To me, it makes perfect sense, how can one expect any form of respect or love, or whatever it may be if you do not live by example and treat others that way. I don't always succeed in doing so, but I will consistently try, because in doing so, you will hopefully be treated with the same respect and love in return. 

This is only one of many things which I truly believe in, but is by far one of the most important to me.

Be the change you wish to see in the world- Ghandi

12 th DAY

Day 12: the best advice you’ve ever heard, or ever been given:

STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF

we're told this all the time, throughout our life, but most of us don't seem to take it to heart, or even realise that we are not staying true to ourself. I can only hope that I live this way, I always try my best not to change around people that intimidate me or anyone for that matter, and to always be myself. This is not to say that I always succeed and there have been a few times where I come home from parties, or whatever and I'm like 'why did I say that, that's not the way I would usually act'. But its getting better and I think the most important thing we can do is stay true to yourself and your morals, because without them, your life has nothing to lean on when it needs.

Day 11: the worst advice you’ve ever heard, or ever been given:
I thought for a long time for this one because honestly, not many people come up to me and spurt out their philosophical quotes, and if they do, they usually are really inspirational quotes. 

The only thing i can currently think of is from way back when I was still in junior school, around grade 6 or 7. I can't even remember who said it, but in one of this talks you get about preparing for high school and thinking about what careers there are, etc, someone once told my class, in a speech of some sorts, that we should seriously consider taking a job that will ultimately provide you with lots of money so that you can live comfortably. 

I can understand where he was coming from, sure, if you want to have children and want the luxuries of life such as a big house, multiple cars, etc, then this isn't a bad idea. However, I deem this as rather poor advice. I strongly believe that you should do exactly what you love and what makes you happy. I am not denying that you really have to consider if you will have enough money to live, but I feel that so many people aren't even choosing what they want anymore, how can an emotional decision as such be based on money? Well for me, and I'm sure its different for many others, but personally, this is not the priority. We live in a world that is gradually becoming more and more based on consumerism, but I think that so many of us are missing the whole point. These things will only temporarily make you happy, you need to find what you love and do it. 

I know this is a controversial topic, and I know billions of people will disagree with me, but that is why this is my blog, my challenge, and that is exactly what I think. The song Price Tag by Jesse J, quite surprisingly has some rather intelligent lyrics, that seem to reinforce this idea, so see what you think...
