Life is What Happens When You're Busy Making Other Plans*

Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans*** the way I see it, that saying is correct. We always try to make plans and control our lives, but often I think it's the other way round - that life's actually controlling us... And no, that's not a bad thing (it just sounds ominous) but the really cool thing about it is that, we can never fully predict what is to come. That makes it frightening but instead of feeling scared, we should be excited! No one controls our destinies, including ourselves. And you can make plans and hope that everything goes perfectly, but life decides what happens in the end. That doesn't mean we can't make our own choices though...


In this post I wanted to talk about choices... Yeah so this may not be the butterflies and rainbows I promised but I want to increase happiness and this is just something I'd like to discuss with myself briefly. 


Choices should always be based on how it will effect your (and other people's) happiness. I'd say "never do something that you know will hurt someone" but then what if not hurting them will hurt you? ... Well then I think it's important to find a common ground (but at the end of the day, the majority's happiness should decide).

 

 

 Under no circumstances am I saying you should not be happy, I'm just saying you have to always think about how it will make the other people involved feel...
For example! I will share some of my personal life, right now there are two really great guys I know. They both know each other, really well actually, and they both live in the same area. Let's call them Boy A and Boy B. Now Boy A I have known for a while, but recently we've gotten closer, and Boy B goes to school far, far away... 
Boy A likes me, and has told me so, but he and his girlfriend broke up recently (who I go to school with) ... But Boy B, who's like the sweet, shy type, has been flirting with me since we met a few weeks ago and I think I may like-like him. But I don't know how often I'll get to see Boy B and if I go for Boy B then Boy A will be really upset and I'm more likely to see Boy A but if Boy A and I do anything then Boy B won't go for me...


So I'm trying to weigh up the pros and cons... And I think, in the end, I may have to walk way from both Boy A and B as romantic possibilities... Which I don't want to do but I also don't want to hurt either of them. I will not cost people they're happiness. 
But while this is all very premature, and I have no idea where this is gonna go, I think I'm going to let Life take me where it wants me to be and what happens, happens. Hey, maybe I'll meet a Boy C and Boy A & B will just be my friends :) who knows? I don't but I'm going to enjoy finding out...

Smile☺. Imagine. Live †.

There's Just Something About A Rainbow

I could tell you my name, but what would be the fun in that? I am a teenage girl who goes around telling people that she is the Rainbow Fairy Princess. I live in a bubble, or at least that's what my mom says, and if that's true then I don't mind - because my bubble is an awesome place to be. So I'm hear to share a bit of my bubble, or to expand and include others in my bubbled world!

If you like rainbows and colours and things to make you stop, think and then just be happy... Well then hopefully this is the place to be. Here I'll try to brighten your day and pretend that the world isn't a scary place. Join me in my game of pretend (even though I'm far too old for it) but I like to think that you're never too old to act young - at least I'll never be a boring adult ;)

This is a short, introductory post and so I just wanted to tell you about my take on *rainbows*. Well, firstly they're awesome... But also, every time I see a rainbow I think (and don't leave now that you find out that I have a religion - promise I'll try not to rub it in your face) but every time I see a rainbow I think of it as God sending me a sign to remind me that there is hope... Because there's always hope and the promise of a better tomorrow. You won't find it chasing after the end of a rainbow, but happiness is found in the moments when you see one and your face lights up and suddenly your life seems happier. Enjoy the moments and maybe you don't think that a rainbow is a sign of hope but that's for you to decide.

In the mean time I will be loving life from the inside of my bubble ♥ And remember, you were given (whether you believe it was by God or just by nature) 86 400 seconds in this day today, I hope you spend as many of those seconds being happy or else being grateful that you were simply given those seconds to live. Do something worth living for ;) make others happy. And don't forget that *you're never fully dressed without a smile*

Smile☺. Imagine. Live †.
