I've learned to go with the flow and take everyday day by day. i think that everything happens for a reason, that God threw us on earth with a set blue print of how our whole life is supposed to be with different exits to choose from depending on how we handle a situation. Dwelling on something that you didn't want to end isn't the way to go about life. In my eyes, whatever ended, ended for a reason, and that reason is because there's something out there thats better for you. If a person wants to be a part of your life, they will make an obvious effort to do so, so think twice before reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay. So much shits going to happen in life, whether its good or bad, but its how you react to it that matters. I believe that it's okay to give up sometimes because that shows that you're strong and smart enough to let go and move on. I believe that you shouldn't ever do something permanently foolish just because you're temporarily upset. One thing i'm learning to do is love myself, instead of loving the idea of other people loving me because happiness should come from within, not what's happening around you. If you have nothing to be happy about, you should still wake up thankful for your life, because someone else out there could be desperately fighting for theirs. I definitely live like a hermit in my own head and i try so hard not to. Everyone should always go about life with a smile because no one cares that you're miserable. you should relax into good thoughts, allow them to feel real, and live in that imaginary place as often as you can. People are more what they hide then what they show and my tumblr is pretty much everything i hide. My names Mariah, I was born April 12 and i'm 19. I've lived in Leesburg Virginia my whole life, and attend Radford University. I love drawing and singing but you'll never hear me sing because i'm too shy and probs suck, but if you wanna then you can chill in the bathroom while I shower. I've been playing soccer since I was 4 and It's always been my life but i've kind of always wanted to be a ballerina. I don't eat pork because pigs are my favorite animals. Reading this description, you probably think I'm such a happy positive person but I'm actually the complete opposite. Just working really hard every day to try and find that happy girl that i know is somewhere inside me, but i guess you can say I'm good at acting because I want people to see me as perfect, so i'll do everything i can to make it seem like that. but then again, life is complicated because if it wasn't then you'd sort of being doing everything right which is boring because then you're not growing or learning new things. I write my favorite/ inspirational quotes on every dollar i have so that i can make whoever ends up with the dollar i had smile a lil because everyone deserves to smile and I try not to wish to much because wishes never come true.
