To My Friends, Thank You For Inspiring Me

Preservation Of Moments

So, this week's article is going to be a tribute to all the amazing, creative people I'm blessed to call my friends. Where I live, I could very easily be in with a whole different crowd, but I didn't gravitate towards that. Instead of just falling into people who live around here who tend to fall into vices, I got further into art, music and photography in my teenage years. I became obsessed for a period with taking portraits of myself, which eventually fueled my bigger love for photography. These days I have photography blog with over 1,700 photos!

You are all amazing creative souls, and you inspire me each and every day to continue following my destiny. When I see you guys producing new works, I want to make new works. I can't hesitate because I know this is what I'm meant to do. I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by those who bring out the best in me and motivate me to keep going and strive to be better.

This is the casual part of the article where I'm going to do some name dropping, so here's a shoutout to all my best people: Jim, Chris, Josh, Taylor, Laura, Marsha, Sydney, Sierra, Tara, Angie, Tess, Nicholas, Alex, Christian, Jesse, Andrew, Matt, Brandi, Maggie, Paulett, Sami, Kristen, Ray, Mark, Hiroko, Akemi, and Colleen, to name just a few.

I cannot thank all of you enough seeing my vision and I'm so happy we're all friends. We're changing the world with our creativity, and we're not stopping. We're the glue holding this chaotic world together, and our creations allow us to find calm in the storm. I would never want to be anyone else, and I treasure every one of you guys.

This article is about all the amazing, inspiring people I've met in life, through Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram. You are all people who I love having as my friends and you make me feel inspired to create. You all see me as I am, and what I'm about. We're on the same wavelength. It seems that we're all crossing paths at the right point in time. I'm beyond happy that we all know each other, and that we understand and are able to explore all our creative attempts together.

Thank you for being the amazing, creative souls that you all are. Keep doing what you do.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
