This cover is so sick...kinda has a dubstep kinda feeling to it...the band is called Pentatonix
From The Heart: The Hardest Moment
Think about how far you've come, not how far you still have left to go.
I feel like I've talked about this before, but it's so important and such a pressing issue that I can't stop repeating it. Life is hard, it hasn't changed, it hasn't gotten easier, it seems like it, but you've just gotten stronger. With experience...by dealing with problems, facing them, confronting them...you've matured and grown as a person. The more you do something or practice it, the better you get at it. The more you learn to face and confront your problems, the more likely the next time you'll be less afraid to tackle it head on. Some problems, your friends can only comfort you, support you and be there for you, they can't actually solve the problem for you. Your friends, your parents...can't baby you forever...you have to learn to face the problems on your own. It's like riding a bike...your parent will be there for you to hold you up...but eventually, they have to let go and let you ride on your own and let you take some bumps and scratches along the way...but it's all a learning process. Just like growing up...you can't live and bum off and depend on your parents forever, you have to eventually move out and start a family of your own and start being responsible for other people other than just yourself. I have a point to all this don't worry...this is directed to no one in particular, just people who feel like they've hit a point in their life...an obstacle in their life that is so unbearable, so hard, so painful that they can't overcome it...they're never moving forward, they stay with what's comfortable cuz it's easy. It's like constantly repeating the same grade, you CAN pass...but you don't wanna cuz you're scared the work load or whatever next year is gonna be tougher so you stay in the same grade cuz you know everything and you're comfortable with it. Listen...right now, you feel like you're at a dead end, a point in your life where you can't run no more...but I'm telling you it's all in your head. That problem that you think you can't overcome, that you're letting consume your life is all in your head. Think back to a time in your life where you were like oh man, i'm never going to get over this, it's so hard, it's so painful, I don't want to. Now look at yourself...look how far you've come and how much you've overcame. Life is full of obstacles, tests, trials...but it's all necessary for us to grow as people, become smarter, stronger...more wise, more experienced. I've been hit with bumps and brusies all my life...mentally, emotionally, even physically lol...but I never let it stop me, I keep moving forward...I keep trying to find ways to improve myself and become a better person. I never let a problem hold me down, I get scared and weak sometimes...but I have people to support me, there's a difference between them being there to catch you if you fall and them taking the lead of YOUR problem. But at the same time...I'm saying it's okay to fall and fail here and there, bumps and bruises are apart of life...it's natural, don't get down on yourself.
Whatever you're going through right now, whatever you feel in your life is so unbearable, so painful, so unconquerable...I'm here to tell you...IT'S ALL GOING TO BE FINE, YOU'LL BE OKAY, I PROMISE YOU. You've made it this far with the scars to show that you've overcame a lot...don't let this hold you down. Life hasn't gotten easier, you've just gotten stronger. Don't think about how much you still have left go...think about how much you've overcome and conquer to get to where you are right now.

My friends called me up and wanted to chill before my bday dinner...so they came over, we went to the park, chilled and played grounders, went back to my house chilled for a few more minutes then headed out to all you can eat sushi where my other friends met up with us. After that, headed back to my house just to chill, talk, play some board games, watch the basketball game and bring it my birthday. After 12 they all wished me happy birthday and most of them let except 3 of my friends. We all stayed till like 3 am and just talked about so many things, had really deep in depth discussion cuz one was out youth intern pastor and 2 were these girls I'm really close with. So we all shared out problems and issues and stuff and just offered advice to each other and just had a real heart to heart to heart to heart conversation, it was real good...I liked it and yeah.
Tuesday...the day of my birthday...woke up and parents were at work, bro wished me hbd...friend called me up to chill at the park and we did, played some softball, met up with more friends, played some grounders...then I headed home cuz my parents were taking me and my bro out to a lobster dinner. Afterwards, headed home at 9 ish and went out with my friends to go watch a movie. It was real fun, came home around 12 ish.
Can't believe I'm 20...the day felt like it went by so fast...I'm so grateful to all the people who wished me happy birthday...all the msgs...the cards...the calls...the posts...tweets, everything. It really amde my day...I loved chilling with all my friends and just really having a good time, no worries. I promise I'll be more up to date with the blog, sorry...now the only thing on my mind right now is getting my license...that's the biggest thing on my plate right now...other than that, the hectic part of May is over, we're over the hump...now it's just downhill and smooth road from here.

Today...
Today is mother's day, hope y'all had a wonderful time with your moms, hope y'all did some really thoughtful and heartfelt things for them cuz they deserve it. It's cliche to say, but you should treat your mom and dad like everyday were mother's or father's day...they work damn hard to provide for you, they've already lived a full life, the reason they continue to work so hard is to pay the bills, put food on the table, clothes on your back...and make it so when you're on your own, your life will be easier, they're trying to take care of all the little things right now like mortgage and what not so you won't have to worry about it when you're older. But yeah...today was a chill day at church. My friend called me out on being really slack on the blog lately lol...either not posting or having very minimal posts...yeah that's my fault, I'm sorry, the second half of May will be much better, promise. After church, met up with a dude to get my new iphone 4, only to find out my sim card for my iphone 3gs is too big and the sim card in the 4 requires a smaller diff sim card...sigh...gotta get a new sim card tomorrow, such a hassle. What else...looks like I got the job at timmies, just waiting for the call, no need for an interview. Softball is starting thursday...pracs are gonna be tues/thurs, which means no time for tues movies or thurs ball :(....my g2 retest should be soon and I'm ready to just kill it! Anything else...my birthday is in 2 days lol...may 15...can't wait, chilling with my church homies tomorrow...kinda disappointed cuz a lot of them flopped on dinner and are only coming to my house after...so dinner's only gonna be a few of us...was kinda cheesed, but I can't do much about it...but I'm def not happy about it either, whatever...all I know is if it were vice versa...I'd be there...not gonna get into this, sigh...just tryna enjoy my last few days of being 19 before I turn the big TWO ZERO...

Today...
Sup...yesterday was a Friday. Woke up early to go to a warehouse of perfume/cologne/shampoo/belts, etc, stuff like that...got my mom a gift and some small stuff for me. After that, played some softball with a few friends, just threw the ball around. After that, had fellowship and watched Courageous, only half of the movie...but it seems like a really interesting movie. Today, had a meeting at BTBC for softball, then a leadership meeting, then chilled with my friend from BTBC who I hadn't seen in a while. Went to the mall cuz she needed to get her mom a gift for mother's day, caught up, talked and stuff, I love that I can not talk to her for a long while or not see her for a long while, but talk to her as if we were never apart...sharing problems and just trying to help each other out and keep each other accountable. Afterwards, my friends from school who I grew up with came over and chilled, gamed...went out to dinner with them at KBBQ...soo full lol. Now just chilling, hopefully getting a new phone tomorrow...iphone 4 :P
