Taylor Swift

Dear You,

So if you know me, you know that I love Taylor Swift. I think she's a brilliant songwriter and all around wonderful person. But hearing some other people's thoughts on her has got me thinking and I think it's important to talk about it. 

So many times I have heard that she has had 'too many boyfriends' and that 'she only ever writes about her ex boyfriends'. However there is the counterargument of one: she writes about many other parts of life and two: every songwriter writes about their relationships. 

Not once in my life have I heard someone slam One Direction, Sam Smith, Drake, or even other top female artists like Demi Lovato for writing about past relationships. Taylor Swift is where she is because she writes good songs about her life, a life that many people around the world find relatable and writing that many find beautiful, applicable, and helpful. If someone chooses to be in her life, they know what she's going to do, the same as every other songwriter: write songs. 

Some of my favorite songs of hers have nothing to do with love... Shake it Off is awesome and uplifting and has a very positive message. A song called Never Grow Up is probably the cutest things I've ever heard. 22 is me and my sister's song, just about loving your friends and enjoying life. Mean is the old "Shake it Off" type song and is my most motivational song on runs. And even one of her many good songs about love like her newest "Out of the Woods" is criticized for absolutely no reason. 

There are songs that talk about old flames in a negative light like I Knew You Were Trouble but in those same songs, she accepts her rightful blame for the demise of the troublesome relationship. And everyone goes through those types of relationships and I think it's important to write about and know about. 

Just because everyone obsesses over the person the songs are written about and takes sides doesn't mean the writer ever intended that. If anyone is to blame, I think it's those who judge and attempt to place blame on a piece of art whose only intention was to inspire and help. 

Anyways, end of mini rant. Overall, I just wish people would be less judgmental, especially when that person has done nothing but write about their lives.

Nice Sounds

Dear You,

Lately I've tried taking to noticing and appreciating the little moments like favorite sounds

I completely agree with all of the wonderful sounds listed above but I thought it would be nice to add onto it

Some of my favorites are:

• The sound of rain on windows
• Music painted on silence
• White noise in a forest
• A good beat played loudly
• Cat's meow
• Ocean waves
• Human noise

I coined the term human noise from Raymond Carver, in the beautiful conclusion of his collection of short stories. Have you ever stopped at a busy place, a restaurant, a school, a mall and just listened? 

There's a bunch of people talking and laughing and just being people. I find great beauty in this human noise, a bunch of people, human in the same way we are with a life and struggles and stories like our own and yet, they managed to come and enjoy life with their talking and laughing. It fills me with wonder.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed! What are some of your favorite sounds? Leave me a comment below! I'd love to hear. 

Have an Outstanding Day!

Quote - Gender Equality

Dear You,

In light of Emma Watson's empowering speech at the UN a couple of days ago, I thought this quote would be good to post.

I think one of the main contributing factors to the misunderstanding of gender inequality has to be that it's not just men misunderstating the ability of women. But also the fact that all girls are taught from a very young age (probably near 7) that we really aren't supposed to be good enough, we need to make sure that we don't have too much confidence, even if we are great. 

I remember, in first grade there were different categories for the best boy reader and the best girl reader because boys needed to compete in sports and had different priorities in life but they still needed prizes for reading. Women really aren't supposed to be ambitious or too good at anything. I remember that feeling, not wanting to own my accomplishments like I should have because I couldn't have been that good at something. I was just a girl. 

But I'm not just a girl. I'm a hard-working writer and a pretty good runner and in first grade, I was a kick-butt reader, twice as good as any of the boys. And I know that's how my parents raised me, they raised me to take charge of my life and do awe-inspiring things, to reach for the clouds no matter what anyone told me. Not to limit myself because I'm not good enough, to be the best at whatever I wanted to be, no matter what.

If you are interested in Emma Watson's inspiring campaign for gender equality you can go here to learn more about it.

Paper Towns Review and Thoughts

Dear You,

I got the book Paper Towns for my birthday, I had already read it but I love second reads and I loved that this time I had the ability to write and highlight all over this beautiful book.

I don't write in all of my books. In my copy of City of Bones you will not find a single mark or scratch because I like that I kept the integrity of the books so pristine. However my favorite thing about the author John Green is despite the plot of his books being realistic fiction involving teenagers and their various unique stories, there is always some hidden nuggets of wisdom. Little quotes that can change lives. If you don't know they're there it's easy to pass by them, but they are so brilliant. 

Some of my favorites are...

"life has become the future. Every moment of your life is lived for the future"

"When you say nasty things about people, you should never say the true ones, because you can't really fully and honestly take those back, you know?"

"leaving feels good and pure only when you leave something important, something that mattered to you. Pulling life out by the roots"

"Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will... But then again, if you don't imagine, nothing ever happens at all"

I could write entire posts about each of these quotes and maybe one day I will but for now I'll just leave them at that. But they are so beautiful and true and relatable to my own life.

There were these overwhelming intellectually stimulating concepts throughout the book as well. I admire John Green so very much for these...

The first is the title of the book: Paper Towns. The idea that everyone is so 2 dimensional and follow the rules and traditions set by society in the most simple way. That every town of people is just as boring and easily categorized as any other. It's a terrifying thought that we, as humans, really are that boring and simple. 

I think it's well explained by the quote "People love the idea of a paper girl". And that is completely and utterly true. When I tell people of my extraordinary dreams, I'm judged beyond belief because I'm not simple. I don't want to be a paper girl and live my days like everyone else. People want everyone to be normal, to be put into the same college-marriage-kids box. 

But the truth is while some wonderful people really want that, not everyone does. And it's so unfair to like one group of people and not the other because they chose two different and equally fulfilling paths. Whatever people want to do with their lives is their business. If people want a normal life that doesn't make them boring and if they don't want one that doesn't make them wrong. Which leads into the next concept...

This concept is one that I've thought about on multiple occasions, that it's "difficult to understand that other people are human beings in the same ways that we are". We imagine everyone else as 2 dimensions. We see the outside, seemingly perfect lives of all the humans around us but in actuality, most people have just as many problems as everyone else. It's just hard to imagine that everyone else has issues and struggles and feelings and thoughts like we do. 

"It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined". I constantly struggle with this idea and constantly remind myself of the fact that I don't know everyone else. One either has to put one's self in another's shoes or do what the main protagonist of the book, Quentin, figured out. "I must ask the wounded man where he is hurt, because I cannot become the wounded man" when speaking about Whitman's understanding of empathy and 3 dimensionality of another human being. 

I love these ideas so very much and hold them very close. Rereading the book gave me a new perspective on everything about it. When simply focusing on the plot, these concepts passed by my head faster than wind but now I see how the seemingly simple plot gives way to all of these complex concepts and beautiful epiphanies. And this book is getting a movie. This was a very thought-filled book so I'm excited to see how they manifest these into a movie but I'm sure it'll be great!

Anyways, this may be my longest post ever but I loved being able to explain my thoughts and the brilliant concepts in this book, I could talk about them forever. Leave your thoughts in the comments below!

Have a Wonderful Day!

Quote Thoughts

Dear you,

I hope you had a great weekend. This quote seemed like a nice Monday post since writing is one of those things that make Mondays seem a little less horrible.

"Write to write. 

Write because you need to write. 

Write to settle the rage within you. 

Write with an internal purpose. 

Write about something or someone that means so much to you, that you don't care what others think" 

-Nick Miller

At some point in life, writing just became my therapy. It always sheds new light on situations that I'm lost on, like I don't really understand what I'm feeling until I can explain it to a piece of paper, usually in the form of a verse or sung in a chorus. 

Stop slacking off Binx! We need to write!

My favorite line in this quote is the 3rd: write to settle the rage within you

I think I love this one so much because it makes the act of writing seem so natural and freeing. Which is the way I've always looked at writing. When I had an idea so overwhelming swimming around in my head that I knew I wasn't going to be able to continue life until I found a laptop, a notebook, a napkin, anything to write it all down. 

I know that writing isn't everyone's thing but I think everyone needs one of these, something that helps you see things clearly. Writing, reading, talking, running, painting, there are so many forms of this that I find it absolutely astounding. But it is incredibly important that everyone has their thing.

Quote Thoughts

Dear You,

This little beauty popped up on my Tumblr dash the other day and I fell in love. Fitzgerald is a classic and has always been an outstanding source of interesting and life altering quotes. This one is no exception. 

I love the idea that we can start over whenever we want to. Sometimes it seems like we're stuck in a town or a situation or we can't change our character because of what other people think or do but realistically it's usually much more possible than it seems. 

I left a state that I no longer wanted to live in 2 years ago. I was ready to leave a situation that caused me a lot of heartache but eventually worked itself out, and while sometimes being able to unattach myself so easily is scary, it's also exhilarating. I know from catching up with old friends that they get astounded by the changes I've gone through as a person. And I'm so proud of the person I've become. 

I realize it's not as easy for everyone but very few things are impossible. If we want to change ourselves we are usually capable of doing so. Being nicer, losing weight, getting outside our comfort zone, whatever we need to do to "live a life you're proud of" is so possible it's insane. 

Your life is in your hands, live it the best way you can.

I swear it's actually new, like I just made it, not the really old one I kept saying was new because I copied and pasted without checking 

Write a Good Story

Dear You, 

Yes, I love quotes and I refuse to apologize for the mass amount of them on this blog.

So I happened to reblog these both onto my tumblr (http://miabrielle.tumblr.com in case you were wondering) within a couple of days of each other and noticed just how important they are. 

I feel like sometimes we're waiting for someone or something to happen. We wait for other people to somehow change our lives with a job or a love or some big event. We wait around for our lives to somehow turn perfect so we can live happily ever after. But that's not what life is about.

First of all, no one is going to save you. In the end, our stories are up to us. We write them, we choose what to do with them, and we choose how much happiness we find in life. Yes, it really sucks sometimes. Horrible things happen every single day. But that doesn't mean we're allowed to say that life ruined us. We ruin us. 

In the end, we chose the actions that we took and we chose how to enjoy life. If we mark our life by terrible events, uneventfulness, and time passing then yes, it will always be terrible. But if we take charge of our own lives and do what makes us happy, even if it only lasts one second, then we will be the lucky ones. Some people go their whole lives without realizing that it is their life to choose. 

I'm not saying certain things can't depress people. Bad people, bad jobs, disorders, heartbreak, it's there and it hurts. But those moments, the ones where your grandpa texts you a picture of his dog or your friend got that promotion she's been waiting for or your kid drew you a picture. It's those moments that make every single thing completely and wonderfully worth it. 

If we just brood because you got that text while you were busy working or because you wanted that promotion over her than you'll be writing a very depressing tragedy. 

We choose to find happiness in the little moments and we choose to make those little moments. In the end, our attitude and actions are up to us.

Thoughts on Songwriting

Dear You,

I wasn't feeling particularly inspired yesterday but I had nothing else to do so I thought it best to work for awhile. I watched some concerts on Youtube, specifically of a song I'm having trouble on, while practicing some chords that I'm horrible at. And heard Ed Sheeran say something along the lines of...

'When you're stuck you have to clean out the clog, just write for awhile and some dirty mud will come out but eventually you'll get clean water, you'll get something good"

Which I thought was brilliant and wrote for quite awhile and then added chords to a bunch of songs (which I've been avoiding) and I'm very proud of how they sound. And I'm proud of how much work I got done but it's not all sunshine and daises. 

I realize that songwriting isn't exactly taken seriously in the world. Some people think I'm just being stupid and others think I'm probably some stereotypical copycat writing horrible teeny-bopper songs. Which maybe I am, I don't know my songs sound to another ear. However it's not as easy as you'd think.

When I work, I'm taking every emotion surrounding a situation and attempting to put in words that sound intelligible, interesting, inspiring, and that rhyme. I have to find chords that are unique yet fit the situation. And taking a thought, a feeling, an event and trying to pair some random guitar chords to it may be one of the hardest things I've ever tried to do. I seriously wanted to throw something.

Songwriting is frustrating and sometimes while doing it, I just want to scream. But I still do it because in the end, creating a song is better than any feeling I could ever describe. It's some mix of proudness and vague interest and curiousness at how I even managed to create something that sounds so nice and sums up something that affected me in something so wonderful as music. 

There's a quote (of course) that sums it up perfectly from one of my favorite authors...

"That's what you gotta find - the things that tear you up when you suck at them, and feel pretty good when you're good at them" -John Green

For me, the only thing that describes is songwriting. Which is why, I'm not going to college this year, why I'm sitting at home writing on a blog, and why I cannot stop smiling right now thinking about the songs I just wrote. I am in love with writing songs. 

What is your thing that "tear you up... and [feels] pretty good"? Leave me a comment below!

Quote

Dear You,

I have quotes and quotes for days...

So I found this one and it brought me so much comfort. As a kid, I was normal enough to survive but not enough to fit in, I was always the odd one out, the last one picked for teams, the one who sat on the edge of the playground making up songs to myself about how hurt I was watching all the other kids play. 

I was so odd and different that I didn't know what else to do. I remember that all-consuming pain (as much as an 8 year old can feel) that came from a lack of understanding why no one wanted me to play with them. 

But Marc Jacobs puts this beautifully because perfection really is boring. The things that make us unique make us interesting. People get teased for loving something too much but without that passion, that overwhelming drive, what would the world be. 

Personally, seeing that fire in another person's eyes when they talk about the things they love the most makes them so beautiful and I can only hope that society and the little kids of the world eventually learn that loving something doesn't make you weird, it makes you exciting. 

I've always been an all or nothing type of girl. When I was little I put every ounce of energy into my school work though today that gets channeled into music and writing but either way I hope that little girls learn to love that about themselves rather than feel ashamed. The world would be such a better and more interesting place.

Quote

Dear You,

Hey there beautiful person, I hope you enjoy this beautiful quote!

(Pshh, I'm not cheesy :)

I found this really interesting because I realized how true it is. I can say now that things that happened a few years ago don't bother me very much but when I reflect on songs that I wrote during some older, dark times, it still hurts. It hurts as badly as the day that it happened so it really didn't heal, I just covered up the feelings with time.

I wrote a line awhile back that I can't help but be reminded of now:

"They said time would help, but it's not helping me

Because two years have passed and you're still in my dreams"

I guess I forgot to cover that one up because as much as I'd like to forget, someone had such a large impact on my life that I am completely incapable of repressing the pain they caused me. Years passed and I'm still in pain, it's not as constant as it once was but the bandage gets ripped off more than I'd like to admit. 

In the end, time doesn't heal, it just helps us forget enough to move on.

Well that made me sad, what were your thoughts on the quote? Leave me a comment below!

Let's Talk About Divergent

Dear You, 

So I finally watched the Divergent movie and while I was disappointed at the loss of a few scenes that I loved in the book, it was still a very good book-movie adaptation. However, I realized that I never wrote a post on how inspiring I found Divergent, which I truly did. 

In Divergent, the societies are split into 5 separate factions:

Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite

Based on the most outstanding characteristic in that person, respectively:

Selflessness, Kindness, Honesty, Bravery, and Intelligence

After reading the books I went through a thought process of how I wanted to live my life based on these five characteristics. I've never been so great at honesty but I've always worked to incorporate the other 4 into my life (though I think creativity deserves a spot on the list as well).

However there is too much of a good thing. Too much selflessness leads to suicidal actions, too much kindness leads to being pushed over, too much honesty leads to hurt feelings, too much bravery again, leads to suicidal actions, and too much intelligence leads to arrogance. I can think of a time in my life where I have been called every single one. 

Roth's book has become a simple yet effective way to view life for me. Or at least view the characteristics that I choose to incorporate. 

I've been able to strongly identify with Tris, the main character in the book. I grew up in a restrictive religion that highly encouraged selflessness. And when I was 16 I left the religion and moved to California, my own Dauntless choosing. While I wish my life was as dangerous and exciting as Tris' I still don't regret choosing the riskier life. It's hard leaving what you know but can be highly beneficial in the end. 

In the past I think I've tried to be too much of a push over and terrified of things and forgot to be brave however recently I've been constantly reminding myself to Be Dauntless (it's a commandment in my Happiness Project). I want to be brave in my everyday life even if that doesn't include throwing knives or jumping off trains (though that would be really cool). I've been trying to speak up, and be myself and speak my mind, which always seemed difficult in the past. 

As a kid I always had too much kindness and intelligence, I became a push over at times and arrogant at others though I think as I've come to a sense of self-actualization I realized how dangerous too much of those could be and worked to counteract them. 

Overall, I found Divergent to be an unconventionally inspiring book. I know the books and movie blew up and every little girl wanted to be Tris as bad as they wanted to be Katniss whenever a new Hunger Games movie comes out but the underlying themes were still very inspiring. I think I liked the Divergent series more than the Hunger Games but anything that teaches girls to be strong, brave, and good is amazing to me.

Quote

Dear You,

I've been ridiculously busy packing this huge house but I desperately wanted to write for awhile and this quote stood out to me.

I think I've always had trouble accepting reality, in true optimistic form I want the world to be rainbows and unicorns and sometimes I feel like I can trick myself into believing it. But the world catches up to me in the worst of ways and life seems worthless more often than I'd like to admit. 

It's the worst feeling in the world, reality. The realization that one day we'll all be returned to dust and our work might not make one difference and the whole idea of humans surviving and reproducing could be worthless in itself because truly all we've done is destroy the planet we were given. 

However, in this cold realization I find comfort in things like music and reading. I've particularly clung to one of Whitman's poems: Oh me! Oh life! in which he explains purpose as "That life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse" because while we may be returning to dust, life will always go on and it's what we contribute to the future of the world that matters in the end. Whether we helped or hurt, advanced human thoughts or technology or hindered it. 

So my "hole" of shelter in this world resides in my capacity to make a difference and leave a powerful, positive impact on those around me through the things I love. For me, that's enough to forget any negative thoughts and while some could call me a naive optimist, I'd rather be that than a mean pessimist.

Quote

Dear You,

I do tend to live my life by quotes and love finding a new one to think about and remember and I quite liked this one (I find them all on my Tumblr here). 

I often feel this way about my day, that I just don't have enough time to do all of the things I wish I could do. I want to read all of the books on my Kindle and write a whole novel and a million blog posts and write songs until I can no longer think of any rhymes. But I am only one person and can only accomplish so much no matter how much I wish I could accomplish more. 

However, I probably could accomplish more in the 24 hours I actually have if I applied myself a bit more. But with TV and work and distractions and errands, I get sidetracked and tired and lazy. And I don't write as much as I wish I did or do all the things I want to do. But I'm only human and I only have 24 hours, I wish it was longer. 

I accept what I'm given though I should probably use my time more wisely, it tends to pass us by when we don't pay attention to it. I guess that's the moral of today's quote: pay attention to your time and use it wisely because we only have so much before it's gone.

Poem

Dear You,

So in my Tumblring I've come across quite a few amazing poems, it's amazing how many talented poets there are in the world. While there are a million amazing ones, only a few have hit me quite as hard as this one...

I was in tears by the end, because I remember how difficult recovery was. 2 sides of my mind constantly battling between being healthy and being skinny. Because everyone likes the skinny girl, right? Even if the skinny girl hasn't eaten in 12 hours and can barely focus long enough to read a page. Even if the skinny girl can't sleep and can barely talk in the morning. Even if the skinny girl is in one of the worst times of her life, she can never gain weight. So the skinny girl wakes up, tortured, crying day in and day out because she wants to enjoy life so badly but can't because everyone expects her to be perfectly skinny. 

I will never forget that feeling and I don't want to because I remember, and that remembering pushes me onto better days. Days of enjoying a conversation over coffee with lots of milk and sugar in the morning with friends, of savoring my graduation cheesecake with all of my family talking and laughing for hours, of running through Target in my pajamas, on a midnight candy run with my little sister. There are things that taste better than skinny feels, if not for the taste then for the experience. Because I chose to be healthy, for myself and for everyone I care about, for the person I want to be. And that has made so much of a difference.

Quote

Dear You,

So today, July 4th, is my birthday! Yes, I was a firecracker baby or at least that's what I hear every time someone asks me what my birthday is... 

Today I wanted to write about a quote because I haven't in awhile and I live my life by some of my favorite quotes so I was searching for a good birthday related quote and I found several but none have ever struck me so much as a Doctor Who one I heard a few years ago...

Time is such a relative term, especially when thinking about someone's life. I'm 18 today and I've barely done anything while artists like Lorde have won a Grammy before hitting adulthood. What does a difference in literal years mean if you wasted it on unhappiness and boredom?

Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my life away, not living it as much as I'd like to. Guess that's the kind of stuff you're supposed to be thinking about on your birthday, or maybe it's just me. I'm always evaluating my life and feel like I'm shriveling away doing nothing. 

Maybe my Happiness Project will help with that. I feel the need to start doing more, to live more and make my 20 or 80 or however many years I live count. I want to make the most of my life and make it count for something.

Doctor Who Thoughts

Dear You,

I am an avid Doctor Who fan, I watched the entire (newer) show last summer and decided to start again with the tradition this year. I love the series for a variety of reasons but I've put some serious thought into the series and realized some things.

The producers could really never kill the Doctor, even though he's technically on his last life/regeneration right now because it would destroy the fans. The Doctor is a beacon of hope in a dark, lonely, dangerous world. He represents that somehow, even in the most hopeless of situations, everything will turn out alright, someone will always figure out a solution, whether it lead to defeat or compromise. Killing the Doctor would mean killing the hope in all of his fans.

One of my favorite C.S. Lewis quotes goes as follows:

"When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up"

I think the Doctor embodies this very well, he's over 1000 years old but he is one of the most childish people known. He isn't afraid to be who he is and if he feels like playing with a children's toy or hanging out with children, he will not hesitate to do so. He isn't afraid to be himself and I find it quite inspiring. 

One other thing that I've specifically taken from Doctor Who is the amount of curiosity the Doctor has. He always desires to acquire more knowledge and solve the puzzles of the world. He isn't afraid of anything, be it human or Dalek, well that's a lie. He does get afraid but he never lets the fear get to him, he doesn't run from problems. While he may be afraid and see little hope in a situation he holds onto that small amount of hope, turns it into bravery, and protects the world from danger. 

He's curious enough to find the problem then brave enough to solve it and I hope I will someday be just like that.

Anyways, those are just some of my general inspiring thoughts on one of my favorite shows which I happen to be slowly re-watching on Netflix at the moment. Any thoughts on Doctor Who or any of the wonderful qualities in this post? Leave me a comment below!

Quote Thoughts: Regret

Dear You,

I have spent every moment of my free time today devouring the very enticing book The City of Glass by Cassandra Clare and came across this interesting quote by an even more interesting character:

"Regret is such a pointless emotion, don't you agree?"

-Magnus Bane, High Warlock of Brooklyn

It was highlighted by thousands of other people who read the e-book (one interesting feature of Kindle books, though it's never quite the same) so others must have agreed with it as well. And I think I agree with it but I'm not quite sure.

Does regret accomplish anything? Sometimes I think it teaches me to do things differently in the future, a lesson to hold deeply in my heart. However other times I think that it changes nothing, just wasted thoughts and sadness that people often project onto others, warning them against the chances they were too afraid to take. 

Or maybe it depends on the person, like all great things do. Some people want others to learn from their mistakes and do better while others only seek to spread their regret and make others feel the same forlorn emptiness that follows regretful occurrences. Hopefully it's something I remember in the future when I inevitably encounter such a circumstance. I want to always continue the path of the first person and help others do better than me, even if I am the most successful person on the planet, I hope to inspire others to do even better.

What are your thoughts on regret? Tell me in the comments below!

Have an Amazing Day!
