Hey! I'm Alex.

And you are your own self. I like that.

Hey! I'm Alex.
Hailee Jeske

Hello. My name is Alex. My favorite color is blue. I'm interested in photography, writing, and vinyl records. I'm a senior in high school and am going off to college soon. I run on the track team and have been running since the 5th grade. I hate following rules and I love living without a strictly detailed plan. My mind runs fast and I go with the flow comfortably and am happiest without a schedule. I may be relaxed but my work ethic is strong and when I'm told to do a task, I complete it. I've never been good at math, but I do well in all other subjects. I have big dreams for my life both leisure-wise and career-wise like traveling the world and scoring a nice job in a big city at a company I enjoy.

Well that's my condensed autobiography for you, now allow me to tell you why I wrote all about myself tonight.

I'm 110% positive that your own biography wouldn't sound exactly like mine. I'll even take it a step further, I'm sure that out of the seven billion-some people living on the earth right now, no one would have a story that sounds like mine. That's a wonderfully, beautiful thing. Everyone is different and everyone has their own personality. That makes them happy, that's all. Everyone deserves their chance at happiness. Finding what interests you and makes you happy is necessary in enjoying life. There's no way that every single person is going to view an object the same as the next and how that impacts them is all a part of their personality. Personalities range all over the place. In same cases, we may enjoy another person's personality and in some others, we may collide and disagree. That's completely fine. It's in those collisions that we realize that there is no way that we will be able to please everyone we encounter. Some people are meant to NOT be a directly positive influence to us, it's the collision in itself that is positive to us in a way or form. When you're living in a sphere filled with seven billion other personalities, you are bound to find yourself disagreeing with someone and it's meant to happen.

I've realized that not everyone will agree with me in life and that's wonderful. If everyone in the world had the same personality then nothing would be interesting. Everything would be looked at from the same angle even though beauty can be found at so many different angles. I'm glad that someone else's favorite color is red and that they love having rules and structure. I love the fact that someone else would hate having a job in a downtown office. I love that everyone is different than me. I love that although we are all human, we are all wildly different.

Don't hate someone because they don't click with you. Don't think of someone any less because of the way they view the world. Besides, they are on the same hunt for happiness as you, and no one should be deprived of that. Embrace the differences of the world, it keeps this place colorful.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
