"From the bottom of my heart"
Why do people say that?
Usually the bottom part of a jar isn't the greatest and no wants the smashed up jam or the week-old milk with the dried up milk crisps floating on top. If my heart was an ocean and I dropped stones with all my problems and guilt written on them, where would all those stones go? To the bottom of course. So when people make speeches to thank loved ones and other significant people with a slice of 'from the bottom of my heart', how is that actually thanking them? It only makes sense to say 'from the top of my heart' because you'd want to give them the best and realest part of your heart.

Thanks mum. Thanks dad.
Year 12 retreat is happening next week and the school requires us to get our parents to write us a letter expressing how proud and how much they love us (their child).
I ask my mum, and she replies with: "Proud? What's that?"
I ask my dad, and he replies with: "You've done nothing. What is there to be proud of?"
I'm so upset right now.
When I become a parent, I'm going to be better than what they demonstrate to be a "good" parent. My son is going to learn how to respect women and be a gentleman, and my daughter is going to learn that she is beautiful no matter what she looks like and not to be insecure about anything. No matter what they do, as long as it makes them happy, I will always be proud of them.
Also, down with Joseph Kony.
I wonder why we haven't talked about him in Global Politics class yet.
For all you who don't know Joseph Kony then you should watch this:

045
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

About to start my last year of high school in a couple of days
And I'm feeling pretty nervous. I think that maybe if I knew what I wanted, I wouldn't be feeling like this so much.
Not knowing what the future may hold is scary.
Anxiety is kicking in now, I think might need help.
