Friends are the reason some people keep on going. Friends can help you when you're feeling down. Friends can also help you when you're also in drastic need. But some friends can also be fake. And just want you for their own personal benefit. Friends like those aren't real friends. So that's why you have to be careful of who you befriend, because in the end it's already too late. When you want to befriend someone make sure you know them well enough to be able to say that you risk it all for that one or multiple people. People can come in many shapes and sizes but those are just physical appearances you have to know what inside of them to see if they are really worth that risk.

On The day he had to take his sat he told his mother that he didn’t study at all for the test. Once he finished the test he went home and continued his routine. When he got his results his score was 1420 and his mother asked if he cheated, all he said was that he tried but at the end he couldn’t. As a result of this he went to a top college and decided from that moment on he would work as hard as possible since he found out that he was a “genius” all along. After graduating he became a businessman and owned a multi million dollar company. About ten years later he got a letter that said his sat wasn’t his actual score and he was 1 of 14 people who got the wrong score and he actually got 743 on the sat. The message shown is that you don’t need to be a 1420 to become your best self the only thing you need to do is to think of yourself as a 1420, if you think of yourself as the best you will in some way become your very best self no matter how you start it’s about unlocking your full potential and becoming your best self.

But sometimes it doesn’t feel fine, it feels like the complete opposite.
And that’s because when a friendship doesn’t workout
You feel like a piece of your heart has been aggressively ripped out of you.
With no care.
No fragileness.
Nothing. 
But it takes someone to fill that emptiness in your heart after it’s been shattered
By the person who you thought actually cared.
About your feelings.
About your heart.
About you.
And even though friendships don’t always work out.
You will always
No matter what
Find your person.

You are not restricted by other things and can be red or blue, black or white and many other colors. You can choose what you want to be and how you choose to paint the canvas, you color yourself along the way and have the freedom to change it to how you like it. They will want to be someone and that gives them the motivation to strive and work hard to be them and once they reach that goal they will be satisfied as they will aim higher and higher giving all their effort to drive to be the best. Identifying who you want to be is a goal in life and will be ABLE to give you a goal in life, and you can be free to choose who you want to be, what you paint yourself and how you paint it, weather it is painted beautifully or ugly, or green or gold… as long as you're satisfied you should be free to paint your canvas and strive who you want to be.

fear is an emotion that's hard to overcome,
things you hear, cause fear, 
things you see, cause fear,
some can overcome, some can never forget,
your emotion's can build up, and cause fear,
don't let fear over power you, don't let fear take over your life, it's not good, you can hurt yourself,  
keeping that emotion in, 
can put yourself down, 
keeping your emotions in,
the more  you let out,
the more relief you'll feel,
fear comes with trigger's,
fear comes with trauma, it'll hurt in the beginning, and in the end, throughout the middle, but people will never see it cause, it'll just blend]]> 2021-03-08 19:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bartholomewlockwood/8fx37qpnkawf3qr7/wish/1284005456 Jaidyn https://padlet.com/bartholomewlockwood/8fx37qpnkawf3qr7/wish/1284006341 When I was a dancer I would practice routines and do lots of things in order to help me dance and that went on for about a year and we went to Puerto Rico where my first competition was held at once I heard that I was gonna dance I got so scared I feared that people would hate me, I would mess up, etc but after I finished the routine I was Relieved and that went on and on before covid and I got used to it. It took me a long time to be able to do a phew routines with my brother and the older people and I got a bit nervous when doing huge things with them. I would always dream of me impressing them and having lots of dance skills and being famous and  that would take a lot of work being a famous dancer while also being a good swimmer but that all stopped when COVID began and forgot all the moves but not for swimming.

Love is like a 100 needles picking at you when they actually don’t love you back the same way

Love is like ur heart is just jumping around and then sitting in all these comfy pillows at the end cus that the end you have you're friends 

Love is like running a 2 miles across a field when you put you're all in someone who doesn’t actually care

Love is like getting those new shoes you wanted for the longest when u finally find out they actually care and love you the same
