It's all about perspective.

When I take the time out of my own day to wish a person a happy birthday, I’d like to receive a thank you in return. See, the problem with FB, they have that silly like button. Thanks for liking my comment, birthday boy/girl. But that’s not a thank you. What if I actually remembered your birthday in my head, unlike the thirty others who remembered cause of the FB notifications… To me, I like to say thank you to each and everyone on their post. I hate to put on a status:“Thank you everybody for all the birthday wishes! =) I had an amazing day blah blah blah. It’s not personalized. A simple thank you can go a long way.

You’re twenty four, Michelle. When will you clean your own things, buy your own gas, learn how to cook, and all that? I’m tired of you making messes like a four year old. When will you ever learn from your mistakes? I tell you to act your age and all you do is mock me like an eight year old, and deny. How is that acting your age? Mocking? Really? Who does that? Sometimes I wish you could be more responsible. I’m tired of acting like a mom to you. You say you don’t want to listen to me? Well then stop coming to me for advice over stuff you should be asking someone much older and experienced. You ask for respect as an older sister, when you don’t even act like the older one. I wish I had an older sister I could rely on. 

I lend you the only hair tie on my wrist. We never need hair ties until it’s borrowed by someone else. And we all know it’s not a borrow and that the hair tie is always the last one you have until you rummage through messy drawers for another one. You’ll use it and never give it back. Then you have to go through messy hair days, sweaty days, or windy days without one. Like I said, you must be pretty damn special if I give you my last hair tie.

- Photograph Maricez’s party?

- Change my guitar lessons to violin lessons.

- Fix my horrible sleeping schedule because of the time difference.

- Finally pig out on American food that I’ve missed. 

My biggest fear is death. I don’t fear death for myself but I always fear death upon my friends and family. Thinking about living a life without them one day brings me to tears. I lay in bed at night thinking how my life would be if my parents, sister, friends, or someone close wouldn’t be here anymore. I always wonder if I would be able to handle it well enough to carry through every day life. Why does everyone have to die? Why can’t we all just live forever? Losing the ones you love to death is probably one of the hardest things in life to go through. Life’s tough.. If only..
