"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You." -Dr. Seuss
This is probably my favorite quote by Dr. Seuss. It says so much in such few words.

Don't Cry
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."-Dr. Seuss
So many times, we are caught crying after leaving someone or something that we so much enjoyed. Instead of crying because it is over, smile. Why smile? Smile because you were so fortunate to experience it. Most importantly, smile because you can. Smile because God gave you that person to say goodbye to or that thing that had to end eventually. Don't waste your life crying about the ending, smile about the beginning that you remember so well. Memories were made to smile about, not to cry about. Don't cry it's not worth it, show them pearly whites.

I'm in love.
"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams" -Dr. Seuss
You are all probably expecting me to give you a name of someone I am apparently "in love with", but you are all wrong. I am actually going to blog about someTHING I am in love with. That something is my life. I am absolutely, positively, deeply, and forever in love with my life. I have a great family, great friends, a great church, and a AMAZING school. When people read this quote a person probably automatically pops into their head, but for me my life pops into my head. Yes, I am in love, but not with a single being. I am in love with several groups of people that make me the happiest girl in the world. Are you in love?

DANCE!
"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain"
To me this quote is the definition of how we should live our lives. Everyone goes through things, everyone has struggles, but everyone also chooses how they deal with those struggles. You can either sit there and wait for your problem to be over, or you can stand up and keep on moving in spite of your problem. The moment where I feel the absolute most accomplished is when I conquer something I never thought possible. It is probably the greatest feeling in the world. Dancing in the rain is in fact what makes the storm so memorable. So, get up and DANCE baby!

Quotes
WOW! I really need to stop forgetting to Blog, comment, and turn in my 5 current events. It is absolutely killing my grade right now. I cannot keep forgetting.
Anyways...I downloaded this app onto my phone that is pretty much all quotes, funny quotes, motivational quotes, etc. So I am going to start blogging about them. Starting with this quote, "Never waste a minute of your precious life by squandering it thinking about people you don't like" To me this quote should speak to everyone. We spend so much time worrying about people and what those people are doing or saying and we don't even consider them friends of ours. I have actually been doing this quite frequently. There is one person in particular that I spend a lot my time worrying about or thinking about, and I don't even enjoy their company or enjoy talking to them. This person has caused me no joy or benefited me in any way, shape, or form. Yet, I think about this person more than anybody else. I am sitting here asking myself ,literally, why I do this. Why do this when I can,instead, think and worry about my bestfriends and family and people that do make me happy and that do benefit me? This is something I am going to challenge myself to do. Instead of thinking about all the people out there that cause me no happiness, I am going to think of all the people that do cause me happiness. The people who cause me to smile, laugh, and who benefit me are the people I want to constantly have on my mind. Not only do they deserve this from me, but I deserved this for myself. I have wasted so much "precious time" as the unknown author above stated on thinking about people whom I do not even like. That's over though. I am blessed and fortunate enough to even be able to think about people who give me happiness, I should take advantage of that.....and, I am going to.
