Wednesday 13th August- forgiveness challange

By
So this post is slightly different from my other posts, in the fact this is more personal and less "happy". 
So i haven't posted in a few days as i needed them to myself to reflect and think. I have came to the conclusion i could be a far better friend, bestfried, sister, daughter, girlfriend, christian etc..
I need to stop using "nobodys perfect we're all human" as an excuse. Despite that being true, it's not valid. We should all be trying to better ourselves daily and never settle for one thing as we can ALWAYS better ourselves. Obviously this can be took to an extent where you change completley, but it's the little things that make the difference. 
Personally when i've wronged someone i find it hard to forgive myself and i hold it against me and it lowers my esteem. If you are like me and that sounds like you then this message may be for you. 
I've came up with a little "challange" that we should all try. This could be completley silly and won't work, could help a few or many people. Either way i can say i tried. 
Write down the names of all the people who you think you've wronged or hurt during a recent time scale (up to a year). 
Message them or tell them in person that you're sorry and that you accept you've hurt them. (Remember this only works if you genuinley mean it). Then when you feel they have forgiven you tick them off and then you can forgive yourself. 
I have done this today and found it useful even if i didn't get many replies. 
Hope this helps some of you, please let me know if it does,

Comparision

By
So i guarantee everyone reading this has compared themselves to another person or object at least once. Comparison is very common in teenagers especially, but most of us do it. In a way it is only part of our instincts as we all get envious, but it is also really unhealthy. If you're constantly wishing to be something else, then you can't really ever love yourself can you? Then how do you expect somebody else too if you can't. There is a fine line between passively saying "I like her hair I wish mine fell like that" and saying "I like her hair, why can't I be like her. she's so much of a better person than me". There will be times where you will be jealous of somebody's appearance or their talent or personality etc. But their qualities or skills do not define your qualities or skills. What I mean by that Is just because somebody's qualities are high, it doesn't make you any better than them or any worse. Nobody can compare themselv

Are books losing popularity?

Are books losing popularity?  So personally i believe they are. Now let me explain my reasons why. So many years ago before technology most people would read books as a pastime out of enjoyment. Now that color TV'S, mobile phones and the internet are around less and less people are reading books. Also a high number of the population would prefer to watch the film as it's easier and requires less concentration. This means that the majority of people my generation (Late 1990's+) are just not interested in reading in fear of looking uncool and like a "nerd". Now obviously it is in the curriculum to read when you first start school, so most people can actually read they just chose not too. Me being an avid reader and lover of books cannot see this nonsense. but unfortunately it's the truth of today's society. So my second reasoning is fairly similar to the first as it's also down to technology. So i'm sure you've all heard of E-readers and ki

Religion...

By
Now I know religion is quite a conversational subject as every body has their own beliefs due to free will. But I would like to just explain it from my own belief and what I think on the matter. The religion I follow and believe in is Christianity and I have done for the past 8 months. Being a christian is a huge part of my daily life and I take pride in the fact I have a father as amazing as god. It's so reassuring to me that one day I will be reunited with god in heaven after serving him here on earth for many years. It saddens me that people get mocked, beaten up, even killed for believing and serving god. Most Christians mean no harm to anyone and all they wish to do is praise gods creations and spread the word of his gospel. Within my church family I know some pretty amazing people and I've had the pleasure of appearing in their lives due to god and I find that phenomenal that one god can have so much power. I believe that god gave his only son away to forgive the sins o
