some of my reasons to smile (:

I'll be starting my senior year in 4 days so I think that it's time I start my reasons to smile list. I'm going to take it to school with me everyday so I can look at it when I need a little pick up. I'll post a small portion of it here. (:

• Open Up Through Secrets 2.0 on facebook
  
• seeing Honor Society walk about 5 inches infront of me
  
• the tweets from http://twitter.com/projectbeauty
  
• Jonas Concerts =D
  
• The picture I took of Kevin Jonas and Christa Black(two of my favorite people)
  
• Seeing Jordin Sparks
  
• Seeing Demi Lovato
  
• Seeing Honor Society
  
• my awesomely decorated room
  
• a blog to vent

I would post a couple pictures but the internet hates me at the moment.

=D

here are some pictures that I took myself in Tampa. I haven't done anything to them....

The truth shall set you free!

Because I love Operation Beautiful soooo much and have already started posting beautiful notes in public places, I decided to go on facebook and myspace and leave messages in people's truth boxes telling them that they are, and always will be beautiful. They didn't all say those exact words but it all had the same general message. We are all beautiful people! It's how we were designed and it will never change, we will always be beautiful. Until about five minutes ago, I haven't been able to read people's comments on my anonymous message. I can honestly say that some of those messages made me cry. It's so sad when you see people thinking that their ugly and inadequate when that isn't true. YOU ARE ENOUGH! You're worth much more than you could ever imagine. I'm so glad that people appreciated the comments I left. I'll do anything to make people smile. Smile and let the whole world see how beautiful you are, whoever you are, it's true. No one should ever believe that they aren't beautiful. I hope one day everyone can see how truly beautiful they are. Post a note on your bathroom mirror telling yourself that you're beautiful and remember it all day. Don't let anyone tell you you're not beautiful. You're more beautiful than you could ever imagine and I pray that you'll never forget that.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!

^^one of the most amazing websites ever.

Share it with the world

Let's use our voices to make a difference. Let's share our voices with the world. Let's speak up for others who are unable to stand up for themselves. Like the more than 1500 children who face death in abusive homes. Or the more than 660 million people living in poverty. Let's try to speak up for the more than 840 million people who are malnourished with over 150 million of them being under the age of 5. Even if we may not have the type of platform that celeberties like Alicia Keys and Angelina Jolie have, we still have the power of our actions and little actions add up. We can make the difference and all we need is ourselves.
