Okay, first post.
A monumental moment!
Naaah... not really, but still. I'm just going to pretend that everyone who comes onto my blog will eventually flip back to the very beginning and read this. So, I want to introduce myself.
My name is Rabecca Riches. I'm fifteen, only six days away from sixteen (!!!) and I am a sophomore. I've lived in about five different places during my lifetime... at least that I really count. (I just can't count the places I don't even remember living in.)
I'm a writer... of what I haven't really decided, but usually of fantastic elves and creepy monsters and love between two unlikely people. I know I'm in high school, I know I probably don't know much about love but really... are stories any more realistic then Hollywood movies? I love writing, it is in my blood and I don't think I could stop spinning word webs if someone told me to.
My favorite subjects are History (Anything before the 1900's and after the 1200's and I'm in heaven) and Earth Science (more cosmology then just Earth science) which manifests in my stories, trust me. I love to confuse my brain with trying to comprehend how the universe really could have just always been, because all things come from other things... so there was never a beginning and there will never be an end!
So now you know some stuff about me... now I get to tell you about me the crazy personality you would never get to know just by looking.
I am a happy person, seriously. I might get irritated but all I have to do is look up and see the blue sky or the beautiful clouds or the incredible ever changing clouds... and I'm happy again. God had created such a beautiful place for mankind to live in, and I thank him for those blessing. There was a book, "The Color Purple" I never read it but I heard a quote that I really liked. It went like, "If you ever pass by the color violet in a field somewhere, and you don't stop and thank God for it, then you're a fool." I don't know how accurate my quoting was but that how I remember it.
A lot of people I have met say that they can't ever find anything to happy about (and if you're one of my friends reading this, and you are getting offended because you think I'm talking about you... chill, you're not the only person I know who I'm using as an example) and I look at them and wonder if they have been totally blinded/deafened/numbed. All someone has to do to be happy is to look around!
Besides that, it's exhausting to be angry all the time. Isn't it? You spend all that energy on remembering to be angry, on making angry/hidden insults, and on making sure you make it clear you aren't happy. Now now, I know I'm a teenager so I'm supposed to be a little moody sometimes and maybe even a little difficult to manage. And I am. But do I make a point of continuously holding grudges, fighting about topics long-since dead, or of breaking rules just because I can? Nope.
I actually got a little angry today... okay, not a little angry, but a lot. I was at the stage where I was CAPITALIZING ALL MY WORDS ON THE PHONE!!! when I was texting... which is really the only kind of angry I'm good at. But I digress. My point is, I got angry and look at how I feel now? Tired.
Being angry just isn't worth it folks, and that's the truth.
So, now that I have had my little rant, time for telling everyone what this blog is going to be used for.
I want to change how people look at the world.
My goals in life are three simple things: Make people happy, make people know how amazing they are, and make sure people walk away from every one of my conversations with a new thing to think about.
I want to make the world a happier place... and I want to stop my generation for ruining their lives.
Just a few of my little wishes.
And so, now you know about me, about me, and my life-goals.
Thanks for reading this rather roundabout message (that is, if you are the type to go back to the first entry made by a blogger, like me) and I hope you come back for more confusing, roundabout lessons I get the privilege to learn every day.
Love Life!
Laugh at Life!
And Love Life more!
Rabecca I. Riches
