Not Yours, But Everyone's Beauty.

  Well hello again! I hope everyone is doing as fabulous as I am^~^ I know, for me, the weeks feel like they are going WAY too fast. This summer has flown by, for sure. I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty happy life has been going fast. Life is like going on a roller coaster with a blindfold on; you never really know where you're going next.
  I thought that I'd talk about something I see regularly on social media these days. I'll be scrolling through my social media accounts and come across so many people "judging" other people. When I say judging, I don't mean the dramatic, comparing yourself to others, actually caused by jealousy kind of judging. I'm talking about the stupid game type thing to see who has more "beauty".
  Seeing so many people playing this "judging" game makes me sick, honestly. So what you have here is guys and girls telling each other who has more "beauty" than the other; thus, putting down everyone else who is in this little "judging" game. They take one's external beauty and lay it out for everyone, even the people that don't know them, to judge. It's like asking who they think is ugly. How does this game sound to you? I think it sounds awful...Just sayin'.
  In response to all who play this horrifying game, you aren't making all these people's confidence go up. Society today always looks at the physical aspect of people. They tell so many people that they must look a certain way to be excepted. Truth is, no matter where you go you will be judged. You don't need to play this game to see if you're excepted or not. If you think about it, we are all judgmental. If you see someone dressed differently than you, usually you go off their appearance as to how their personality will be. I know, it's really hard not to. I also know that when people do that to me it hurts my feelings.
  I get really sensitive about my appearance. I don't like for people to judge me on how I look. It upsets me. I've learned to take the whole judging thing much better than I use to. A year or so back, I'd go home a just cry because someone commented on my appearance(baby, I know). My favorite comment was "hey, you've got a gap in your teeth." What am I supposed to say to that?! Thanks for letting me know? Like what? Let me step off my soap box real fast...Anyways. Back to what I was saying. As humans, we see someone dressed differently and go off that to tell what kind of person they are or if we want to hangout with them; although, we don't know two things about them.
  There are some really cool people that I've met that I feel awful for judging because they're stinkin' awesome sauce! The way people look doesn't mean anything. The things you hear about someone doesn't mean anything. Let's go on a adventure together to find out for ourselves who people really are. We're all sinners. Sins are equal. We are equal. Let's all try together to stop with the judgin' and start with the lovin'(; *Creepy smile* But seriously...
  The awesome part about different appearances is you never know what to expect about their personality. You can meet the meanest looking person and they could be the nicest person in the world. Their personalities can also change the attractiveness of the person. It's amazing what actually knowing a person can do! Here's to personalities! *Raises glass*

New Beginnings

   Well hello there, world of bloggers or whoever might be reading this. I've thought about blogging for awhile now, but I never really got around to it...but here I am! I'm Sarah Knight, it's a pleasure to meet you! As I sit here and wonder what in the world I'm supposed to write, I began to think (which is an awful thing) "what if no one reads this?" Honestly, I am going to do this very blog on things I often think about and my opinions on different subjects. If you'd like to read my blog, I'd love for you to read along. If you would not like to read my blog, it's cool if ya don't.
   Although I might not be the best writer, I love to share my opinions and I love to write about things I believe. Embracing life is great. It's great to know the positive side to things; I'm going to try to portray that in this blog. I also love to know all the readers opinions!
   As of right now, I'm starting a new chapter in my life. I just moved, I'm going to a new school, and attempting to make new friends. This process is very stressful and awkward for me. I am an extremely awkward person, so absolutely everything I do seems really just awkward. I was so excited about moving, but now I'm out of my bubble...I want my bubble back. If you are anything like me, the person you think you are and the person you are when you meet new people are completely different. I always make myself look and sound like someone who sits in a corner and looks at the ceiling all day. I turn into a brick. I'm suddenly brainless. I don't know how to talk or where to put my hands when I talk and I think too much and I don't know what to do and ahhhhhh. I guess I go through this awkward stage of not knowing anyone around me; therefore, I just sit at home and sulk in my boredom(not a good idea).
  As of right now, I am learning how to get out of this anti-social bubble I have. It is so hard! I try to put myself in situations where I HAVE to talk to someone, or I HAVE to meet someone new. That will be my challenge at school this year, for sure. Calming down about this much bigger school I'm going to is so hard also! "This is the struggle, people!" *annoying preppy voice*.
  This school year, I'm going to remember who I am.  I know, in life, people will try to change to who I am. They will try to make me believe differently, dress differently, talk differently, and act differently. It can't effect me. I'm so much happier when I am myself than if I try to act like someone I'm not. If you're going through this, trust me...you will be SO much happier not trying to please people. If they don't like who you are and what you're about, then that's their problem! They don't have to like you. Be encouraged by the people who do like you and don't give the other people the satisfaction of bringing you down. You are better than to throw yourself away for someone who doesn't like who you are. Be who you were created to be.
