Animals

Definition: the really annoying, but lovable things in your backyard or house. I've grown up my whole life, around these. They will continue to be in my life, for as long as I live.

Apathetic

What I found out that I am not. I have feelings about everything, so I'm not robot, even though my face sometimes shows no emotion.

Bear hug

It's a weird one, but it's one of my words, don't laugh. I gave my first bear hug, to my cousin, who I haven't seen or talked to, in about 5 years. It surprised me when it happened.

Bread

To be honest, bread surrounds us, and it is a staple in our diet. Also, come on, bread con cajeta is the best. You should really try it, even though it might be sugary.

Caged

I can't help but not want to be caged in. I mean in college, although it's 3 years away. Haha! I want to explore new things, and join clubs, but not get super crazy. I know my limits.

Chicken

A chicken is what I am not. This past year I have surprised myself and done things that I didn't think I ever had the guts to do. Also, by not being a chicken, I reconnected with old friends and it's great!

Danielle

Like, who is Danielle? Danielle is someone who is still figuring her life out. A Danielle isn't always the perfect human, because we all have flaws. Don't hassle a Danielle over anything, she knows her mistakes, and how to fix them.

Death

Death has been present since about 10 years ago. It has been occurring ever since, including this year. I don't want to get too deep, but death hurts! A lot!

Eager

My eagerness gets the best of me sometimes. I get too excited and then I get let down sometimes. It is definitely a blessing and a curse type of thing.

Endpoint

The endpoint is not visible to me. I don't want there to be an endpoint, if I haven't achieved all that I planned to. I don't know where my endpoint is and I never want to.

Friend

Friend is a weird word. It doesn't really have a legit-legit definition. Friends come in different forms, from pets to people. But over the past 2 years, I've been called a good friend. This really gets to me because I'm like yaasss I'm friggin awesome. Jk! Haha! But seriously, it means a lot to me that people feel that way about me. OMGosh, I'm getting teary-eyed!

Facebook

Facebook is a great way to get in touch with family and old friends. Even though people say it's old, I don't care because it's how I keep in touch with my family. It's very useful, just saying.

Gutsy

Is gutsy a word? I hope it is, because the first time I felt gutsy was in October 2014 and it scared the poop out of me. But because I took a risk then, I find myself very pleased in April 2015. The connection is there, but it's not visible to the public.

Goliath

Goliath is life in himself. The Gentle Giant is what he will always be. He was always ready to greet you with slobber and a little bit of pee (he was old, whaddya gonna do about it? ;)). He was my childhood when we first moved to Hesperia. You saw his face, and you immediately fell for him. Who can't resist a Bullmastiff? He will always rest in my heart.

Heaven

Heaven is for real. Do you know how? It's real because you believe it's real. I believe Heaven is real, and there isn't anything you can do about it.

Heroes

Do people have heroes still? Is it weird to say that I have a hero? My hero is my mom. I honestly don't know how she does it. I love her for that, the dealing with us part. My hero is my mom because she is amazing in every way I can imagine.

Interesting

Things I find interesting are: the forgiveness of dogs, the internet, nature, people's reactions toward subjects, emotions, quiet kids, and a bit more. I'll add later.

Imagination

What do you get without an imagination? Nothing. My imagination is, what I'd like to believe, carefree. I can live in my imagination; it inspires me to do better sometimes. It gives me ideas on how
I can improve situations in life. If you don't have an imagination, I hope you get one.

Jello

I dislike Jello. Like, what is the purpose of it? It's there to look pretty, or what? Jello is at that one food that looks at you like, "Fight me. I dare ya!" It disgusts me. Did I tell you how much I dislike Jello?

Janitors

Janitors are greatly under-appreciated. I see them all over campus, making sure that it is decent looking. Janitors need to feel special, too. When I see a janitor, I'm going to start saying thank you for their service. Janitors are friggin awesome. Hate me for it, idc.

Kangaroo

I've never seen a friggin kangaroo!!!! Oh my gosh. I haven't even been to a REAL zoo before. I'm 15, what the heck. ;D I'd like to see a kangaroo because face it, you haven't even lived, until you've seen a kangaroo. Everybody knows that.

Kid

"Kids have it easy." What is the age range for being a "kid?" I'd really like to know. A kid can mean many things. I'm talking baby goats man! Those are kids too. Do baby goats really have it easy? You would know, would you? Unless you have evidence, you can't really say who has it easy or not.

Life

"What is life?" Life is a whole bunch of things, I guess. Life is what you make of it. I intend to use this advice when I feel "stuck" in a rough patch, whenever that is. Life is precious. People need to understand that.

Lies

Lies make me feel horrible, even when it's to benefit another person. Lies have extents; I know that. What's weird about lies, is that sometimes they can lead to horrible things. Lies need not go too far, because believe it or not, there are consequences.

Mayonnaise

Can I just say, uuuuggggghhhhhh!!!! Why does Mayonnaise exist? Just asking. Thinking about Mayonnaise makes my stomach hurt. I found out that it can be used for different purposes, too. Girls put in their hair to make their hair stronger! WHAAAT?!? I don't want to judge anyone, but I'm probably going to end up hurting someone's feelings. Mayonnaise smells horrible by itself, why would you want to put it in your hair?!?

Money

TOO much money leads to greediness. Money is the fall of families, friendships, businesses, etc. Money is dangerous when used in a bad context. To have money is a blessing and a curse. If you have money, don't flaunt it in people's faces, that just makes you look like a jerk. Always use your money wisely, chances are, you'll need it in the future. I wish all adults knew that.

Nature

The greatest connection that one should have, in order to help the world be a better place. I love nature. I can relax and breathe in the fresh air. I feel like I become a better person, after I've sat among the trees and taken in all of the beauty.

Orange

A color; a fruit; a town; a county. Color: a very bright shade, usually seen as an unfavorable color. Fruit: citrus and sweet tasting; one of my favorite fruits! :) Town: Where my two oldest sisters were born. County: Where all of my extended family reside.
