day 48: try everything!

yello!! how's it going? (i hope well.)

today i'll be talking about how you should be proud of trying, even if you do end up failing.

please read the quote to the right.

i think that this is absolutely SO true. for some odd reason, many people of our generation laugh at others who try or express themselves freely. in my humble opinion, i think that being brave enough to try is an accomplishment in itself.

for our halloween spirit day at school this past year, i dressed up as the mouse from "if you give a mouse a cookie". i was planning this costume out for probably months at that point and was extremely excited about it. a ton of my friends complimented it, which made me super happy. 

later in the day, i walked into my friend's math class to pick something up from her and after i left, she told me that when i had walked into the room a few of the guys in the back were laughing at me. these guys, in fact, did not dress up for halloween, which just makes them the bums.

now, this little comment could have ruined the rest of my day, but i didn't let that happen. because i loved the costume and was planning this for months, i didn't care. i still walked with my head held high and a smile on my face.

here is a little picture of my costume!

i just wanted to remind you that in a world where it might be "embarrassing" to do something that you want to, don't be afraid. just try it. so what if you fail? so what if people laugh? part of life is expressing yourself and who you want to be.

i'll catch ya on the next one!!

don't wish for it, work for it.
