In the past I've tried to somehow connect these into one coherent blog post but I don't feel like putting that much effort into this one.
Lately I've been trying to be a nicer person. Specifically when it comes to the things that I say. I wouldn't mind if you guys kept me accountable on that, so don't be shy.

I deleted my Instagram and Snapchat. And I thought it would be the death of me. But my life has gone on normally and I'm not missing anything monumental in people's lives. There is no reason for so many social media sites to exist or for me to be on so many different ones. Also it's helped me keep my thoughts on things which glorify God.

Isn't it weird how there are certain people that you just don't imagine doing anything wrong? There are always people that you know mess up or that mess up around you but then there's those people that you really respect and look up to, forgetting that they, too, are human and then they do something and you just have to reprocess the fact that no one is perfect.

So- my friends and I have been talking about this: do you think it's okay for a girl to ask a guy out or not?

Why are we, as a generation, obsessed with stories that are more depressing than our life now? I don't think any Hunger Games fanatic would actually want to live in that world. It doesn't make sense to me to immerse yourself in something worse than what you are actually experiencing.

I'm taking public speaking at community college this semester. Which actually slightly freaks me out because I'll be giving speeches in front of people I don't know at all. Which I suppose doesn't make much sense but emotions never make sense.

I've been really into writing poetry lately. Which is strange because I always hated writing poetry.

I was listening to the radio station Mix 100. And they were playing "Thrift Shop" but they censored basically all the profanity out of it. Why I noticed it is because they play songs like "Blurred Lines," "Talk Dirty To Me," and "Animal." Why is one type of immorality okay but not the other? More importantly, why am I less bothered by profanity than by songs about sex? I don't know, honestly, why everyone has such inconsistent standards.
This concludes my list of unrelated thoughts. Thanks for reading and feedback and opinions are always appreciated!
Much love,
Amanda
