What I'm working on...

This is a little sample of the story I've been working on lately. Hope you like it.

Fate. They say it’s inevitable.  That like darkness it hides around every corner, in every shadow just waiting to wrap you in its peaceful embrace.  Fate is viewed as something that chooses us; from the moment we take our first breath.  I don’t believe that.  I believe that we choose our own fate.  The choices we make lead us on a path of uncertainty, which uncovers a fate that we create for ourselves.

“Rise and shine sleeping beauty, time to get up,” and just like that the darkness that blanketed me during a dreamless sleep was chased away by the blinding light that came crashing through the window. 

Dreams big and small

Everyone has hopes and dreams that they one day hope to achieve. But ever feel like those hopes and dreams are too big? Or maybe you're just afraid of being rejected. It's these fears that stop you from ever truly believing that it's possible, that you can someday achieve your goal. I know that I feel this way all the time with a lot of the things I do. It doesn't matter how many times people say that I can do it, that I am good enough or my work is good enough.  They tell me words of encouragement and I don't necessarily believe them.  Maybe one day I will find the courage to actually make my dreams a reality, like publishing a book.

I don't know about others, but the fear of rejection is so much smaller than the idea of never knowing. To spend all your life wondering what it would've been like,  how different life could've turned out to be.  I don't want to be one of those people who spend their life  regretting,  wishing that they could've done something different. 

This is why I have decided, that no matter how hard something seems and even with the possibility of rejection, I will still try to reach  my goal.  And even if things don't necessarily go the way I had hoped I will still try to look at it in an optimistic way, and I will try again until I succeed. 

So my advice to you is to take 30 seconds of your life and do something that you had always dreamed of or hope to do or accomplish but were too afraid to actually do it.  Because it takes just that, 30 seconds, to change your life.

Freeze Ray!!!

Greetings earthlings,

Ever have those moments where you just want to freeze time?  Where you wish that you had a "freeze ray" like Gru from "despicable me" and you could go around and just make everything stop or maybe move it back a few years.  I mean it's only a month into school and I already feel like time is running out.  Could it do with the fact that I only have one year left before I have to enter the real world and make my own decisions which is a scary thought all in itself never mind actually doing it.
There is still so much to do and so much to decided.  And then you also have to get good grades, which I will admit that I'm a kinda slacking on right now, and it just feels like there is not enough time.  It's at this point when your thinking of things where most start to feel the pressure and start to panic.  I am guilty of this, but you just have to remember to take a deep breath and take things one step at a time.
The other day, when I was having a rough time, my dad me told to just relax and enjoy life because you only have one.  That it doesn't matter how good your grades are or what you are going to do after high school is all done, all that matters is that your happy because it's your life and you should enjoy it.  I don't know about everyone else, but I hear people say things like that all the time.  It just never meant that much to me until my dad said it.
So unfortunately I can't freeze time, which sucks.  That just means that I have to tuck everything in a corner of my mind and handle everything life throws my way one step at a time.

And for others who are experiencing the same problem, deep breaths people, we'll will make it.

Got to love minions

Gotta start somewhere

Well, I figure we all got to start somewhere and since I'm going to be writing this blog I feel that it would only be approppriate to introduce myself.  My name is Kaitlynn.  I love to read, watch movies and listen to music.  My favorite color is blue, I love animals and I am terrified of bees.  My dream is to travel the world one day, don't I really have an exact destination, anywhere I guess as long as it's warm. But until then I'm stuck in high school.

That's all I have for today, I know it's not much but it's something.
