Peace;

Peace signs are everywhere we look, they seem to be all the rage nowadays.
They are plastered all over t-shirts, purses, scarves.
People wear them just because they like the way they look.
Kids throw up a peace sign in pictures because they think it's cute.
People forget the significance of the peace sign.
Peace is the single thing that everyone desires, the thing that everyone hopes to see before they die, the feeling every person hopes to feel.
The peace sign symbolizes the worldy goal that we have yet to achieve.
Humans as a whole desire it, but don't strive for it.
We aren't accomplishing anything by walking around with a peace sign around our necks.
Have we come to think of it as an impossible state of mind?
Peace is attainable, available to anyone who has the right mindset.
They say peace is only acquired after you die, R.I.P. right?
I believe if we live in peace, our souls can rest in peace also.

My peeves.

My mom always told me that I talk about the things I hate more than the things I enjoy.

So why not write about the things I hate?

Things are always better in bullet form.

I hate:

• Ignorance.


• Black and brown. They should never be worn together. Ever. Cheetah print is the only exception.


• Middle parts. Hair doesn't grow right down the middle.


• Scrunciis. They weren't okay in the eighties, they sure aren't okay now.


• Morning breath. really?


• the mole on Sarah Jessica Parker's face.


• hospital scrubs. There is always the uncomfortable breeze blowing up your privates.


• monday's and thursdays. monday is tiring, and thursday is too long.


• low budget car commercials. (especially when they are done by people with cheesy accents and/or costume wearing underpaid actors.)
• animals. sorry.

• pencils with no eraser. nobody can not make a mistake when using pencil.

the list is probably endless, i constantly find these that grate my nerves to no end. But hey, i'm not the only one.

Knocked down.

Friends always come around at the times that i least expect it.
And not just any friends, not just acquaintances, not just someone you pass in the hallway and say hello to.
It's always the last person I would expect.
She sat in front of me in art class forever.
And we never talked.
We sat near each other at every lunch.
And we never talked.
We had the same class, for almost a whole year.
And we never talked.
One day we started talking about gym memberships, of all things.
From then on we were workout buddies, zumba buddies, and spent more time with each other than almost anyone else.
I never thought that we would be as close as we are and i thank God for such an amazing friend.
After being friends for just a little while, i am closer to her than i thought i ever could be.
Our friendship came out of absolutely nowhere, and i was even surprised by it.
But now i can't see myself without her right there with me doing something borderline crazy!
No matter what we have fun together and we are stuck with each other forever, it's impossible to undo a friendship as tight as ours.
