What Living Louder Means To Me

I started this blog January 2, 2015, but i never really explained to everyone what living louder really meant to me. I started this blog at 18 years old, and I am now 20 years old so I have time to think and explore new things with this blog. This is something I really love doing, and has been an outlet for me. I created this blog, so I can express whatever I felt that needed to be said, so with that being said this is what living louder means to me...

Living Louder to me means exploring things that makes you wonder. 

Living Louder means doing things that seem impossible, but you know you can do them.

Living Louder means experiencing things you would never though of doing.

Living Louder means meeting new people, and making new friends from all walks of life.

Living Louder means taking risks that you never though of doing.

Living Louder means stepping out of your confront zone to pursue something.

But most importantly...

Living Louder is not just the action it's about being able to share your experience, thoughts, and feelings with other people around the world.

I started this blog because I wanted to share every part of my life with people. I do not want people to live in a little bubble for the rest of their lives. I want people to go out, and explore life and be able to share it with their love ones, friends, and anyone that comes there way. 

I vowed to myself on January 2, 2015 that I would live louder and I intend to keep that promise!

I hope I can encourage everyone to live louder, and step out of your comfort-zone today!

Personal Goals for 2016

Goals are very important for the New Year I believe that they help keep you grounded towards what you are looking to achieve. Having goals for the New Year is a great way to start the year. Here are some of my personal goals that I would like to share with you. Hopefully, it will inspire you to have your own goals for

•  Learn How To Cook: Since I am already in college I feel like I should learn how to cook. Not just simple pastas and easy cooking but the more complex foods. 

•  Go On More Adventures: Since I do live in Arkansas there are such beautiful mountains there and so much to do there, I should take advantage and go on hikes, and camping trips with friends. 

• Meet New People: I am starting a new semester of college, so that means new classes. I am a really friendly person and approach pretty much everybody, but i always feel like its good to start fresh and meet some new faces. 

• Save  Money: I have always been bad with handling money even as a child I would go spend it the first chance I got. Now that I am in college I have learned how to manage my money, now I have to learn to save more money and use it wisely. 

• Worry Less: I have always been the kind of person that worries way to much than I have to. When I worry I tend to stress, and stress is never good. Worrying less will help me stress less and handle things better.

• Write More: I personally feel that I haven't written a lot. But I feel like i could put more time into writing to improve myself. 

•  Be A  More Attentive Student: Now that I am in college, I want to get better grades. But I need to be able to concentrate on the lectures in class, and take good notes. This will untimely help me get better grades in school.

• Take Pictures: I have never been the person to take a lot of pictures, but pictures captures memories and I want to remember them. So I can look back at them and remember the memories and share them. 

I hope everyone makes goals for this 2016!
Let me know what your goals are for this 2016 year (:

One Act Of Kindness

       Everyone is fighting their own battle, but most people don't even seem to notice. I have always been the kind of person to be friends with everyone, and even though I moved many times making friends was not hard. I am not really the kind of person to be in a "clique". I was always friends with everyone because I feel that everyone needs a friend. But I know people do get lonely and can cause depression and feel as if you can be surrounded by hundreds of people but still feel alone. For as long as I remember I always smiled and said hi to people in the hallways when I walked by but someone told me they felt intimidated by the amount of people I know and have waved to and said hi to in the halls. To me that was kind of odd, but I guess I always knew that something good came out of it.

But just recently I was told that this girl I knew had depression and had tried to kill herself twice but never did. She said that it was the little things that people did to make her day and that stopped her from ending her life. She expressed that it was people smiling at her, saying hi to her in the halls, and complimenting her. Me and this girl would get to school early and we would always just sit and talk until the bell rang and to know that it was the little things that stopped her warms my heart. I knew if I could at least make one persons day better then I've made a difference.

Its one act of kindness that can really change someone life, and can make you a change not only that person's life but yours as well. Even if you are the one having a bad day, smile at someone because I grantee that it will make your day better as well as the other person.

So please think about what you say and do because it can make or break a person. Challenge yourself to start getting to know new people to say hi to people around you, even if you don't  know them. It can save a life rather than ending one.
