"I'm so happy yet so sad! It's like a perfect storm of emotion." 

^That is me right now. I'm just so happy! Yet so sad......it's like a perfect storm of emotion. It balances everything out. 

I'm so sad because life really sucks sometimes. I fail at everything, I'm so behind in school. I got hit by the homework truck from hell and fell into the ocean of never ending homework and now I'm drowning! Heeeelp. I want a job, but my parents won't let me. it's a rather confusing situation I have so many dreams, and goals but I feel like I'll never achieve them, I don't know how, and it's oh so conflicting. and I reaaaally just want a piece of bread! But I can't have it, and it's so depressing. *munches cucumbers* and I really want to go adventuring and stuff and.... *sigh* 

But then.....

I'M SO HAPPY! AH! Life is just so beautiful and wonderful, and so happy, and I'm just soooo so blessed. I have such good friends and family and I love them to death. And my school is so amazing even though it is so freakin' hard and I think I might die, I love it. Life is so good! I love it. :)

So many feels right now. 

So life is freakin' hard, ya know? But then it's so good, and I'm so blessed. There is always more good than bad in your/my life.(: 

I worry if I'll ever achieve my goals/life long dreams blah blah. But ya know what? The things we want never come easy or free to us, we have to work for them! If we work our butts off and try our absolute hardest to achieve them, then we'll be even more grateful for them! 

Honestly, when was the last time I tried my absolute hardest to achieve something brilliantly amazing? I have no idea. But it's gonna happen. 

"The worst things in life come free to us." It's so true. But why not be grateful for our trials, our challenges, the things that totally suck in life? Because really, the make us so much better! They make us stronger and braver. They make us who we are. 

But guess what! The best things in life also come free to us. That's our family, and our friends, etc. Man, we're just so blessed. I challenge you to write down 5 wonderful things in your life, that came free to you. I bet you could name even more. 

Life is so good(: Shoot for the stars! Stay positive! Love a lot! Dream lots! and don't forget to smile. :)

love, Wesleigh :)

I really like this video. It's just amazing to me. All that truly matters is what the Lord thinks of you. Not what anyone else thinks. *smile* 

How much do you want it?

That's a question I've been asking myself a lot lately. How much do I want it? Am I willing to do what it takes? 

Education has always been really important to me. I've always known that, and I've always said that. But have I acted on that? Eh, probably not. 

I can honestly say that I've worked REALLY hard on my school. But, more so in the last-minute-procrastination kind of way. Not the dedicated-on-top-of-things way. 

If my education is so important to me, why don't I act like it's important to me? 

Am I willing to put aside the distractions of social medias and sacrifice the less important things like movies, books for the most important? 

Guys, school starts in less than three weeks and I still have to finish up my summer courses. Yikes. 

I am bouncing between excited and utterly freaked out. Excited because I love to learn and I go to the best school on the planet. No debate. Freaked out because I am easily distracted and un-dedicated. 

So, I making a commitment to myself. As school is starting, I will put aside my distractions. I will be dedicated. I am wiling to do what it takes. Because I want it that bad. 

I'm so stressed out for school and it hasn't even began. Oh man. The stress of balancing out my education, work, trying to make a difference in the world, exercising, spending time with friends and family, my religion, adventure. *takes a deep breath*  

How I am going to do it, I don't know. All I can do is put a smile on my face, work as hard as I can and trust in the Lord and he will help me make it through. :) 

I chose this path. Am I going to stay on it? I'm going to work my butt off to stay on this path. Nothing can stand in my way. 

What do you want? How much do you want it? Are you willing to do what it takes to get it? 

You are capable of achieving your dreams, you wants. You are. You are stronger that you know. Don't ever doubt it. 

You may or may not believe in God. But I do, and I'm telling you, that he will help you. Sure he throws trials at you, but if you just trust in him, it'll be for the best. 

Together we can all make our lives the best. The only person holding us back is ourselves. 

I wish you the best in everything! Whatever you are facing, I know you can do it. :) Put a smile on and just embrace the ups and the downs. :)

Thank you for reading! :) 

love Wesleigh

Life won't wait for you.

I'm a book drunkard.

^^^My life^^^

I sometimes wonder if I should even be ALLOWED to read books....?? Like seriously though. 

I have such a vivid imagination that books become my life. I jump into the pages of a book. (have you ever read Inkheart? Man. If that were real.....*swoon*) I mistake happenings in the books I read for real life happenings. I'm like....did I?....Nah...I am such a confused person. Moving on. 

I'm also a really picky reader. REALLY picky reader. Or maybe I just have book hangovers? Probably that. It takes me a couple months to find a new book and then get sucked into the pages. 

Hey you. Look at this quote, "Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be digested thoroughly." (Mo from Inkheart) AMEN. Yeah. I love that. 

Okay but anyways. I really love books. Like a lot. 

When I was younger I had piles of books that I was "going-to-read" but really I just liked saying I was going to read them. Instead I would pull out the science books and get lost in the wonder of our world. My desk is currently covered in books that I want to read. Man. My list of books never ends does it? If I didn't have to work or go to school and I could survive on books or get payed to read book, than WHOA, I would. :) 

But man, books are so good for you! Ya know when you sit around watching tv all day (not that I or anyone else has ever done that). It's like "Hey. I just cut my life in half by watching this show, and then that guy died....and why did I watch this?? and my brain just fried, I think I'm going to go eat some potato chips."

But when you read a book!! Your brain is getting bigger and stronger and you're prolonging your life! You feel alive! Like you have actually been doing something, rather than staring at a screen watching images flash by. You are absorbing the words, and devouring the book. Like food for your brain. ^_^ 

There is this quote, by some person named L.M. Montgomery, 

"I am simply a book drunkard. Books have the same irresistible temptation that liquor has for its devotee. I cannot withstand them." 

I'm a book drunkard.  

And just because we all could add some more books to our to-read-list, here are my favorite books! (I'm pretty sure you've read them, or heard of them, because they are rather popular books) 

• Inkheart - Cornelia Funke  (the whole series is so captivating. My favorite is the third.)
• Harry Potter - J.K. Rowing. (I'm a utter Potterhead. Goodness. Those books.)
• The Hunger Games! - Suzanne Collins  (Such. Good. Books.) 
• The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini (This is such an amazing book. I was in tears) 
• A Million Miles in a Thousand Years - Donald Miller (SUCH a life changing book)
• Percy Jackon - Rick Riordan (and any other Rick Riordan books. So good!) 
• Fablehaven - Brandon Mull 
• The City of Ember - Jeanne DuPRAU  (the whole series is super good)
• The Maze Runner - James Dashner

Anyways. I really like those books. But I don't only read fantasy. Trust me. I have such a long list of books I want to read, maybe when I'm old and sippin' prune juice I'll read them. 

What are your favorite books? I'm always looking for good books to read. I'd love to hear! :) 

<3/ Wes
