NaNoWriMo Rant- You have been warned.

National Novel Writing Month. Also known as: My worst enemy. I am stuck at 12,119 words, which means I am VERY behind. It sucks.

This is my second attempt at Nano. After last years experience, I don't know why I decided to try again. :P I always hate it after the first 3 days. And this year is even worse. I've had 11 hours of choir this week! Plus I have co-op two Mondays in a row, have to do my home work from that, read Macbeth, have a Shakespeare meeting on Friday, and sooo much other stuff going on it's not even funny. >.>

And now I'm done. If you read that, you deserve chocolate, go get some. :P And I feel better now, so win-win!! :D I'll probably not post again about Nano, because it will just be more of the same, and you don't really want to read all that again. :P

Happiness

Wow...long time no post. Sorry about that guys. Anyways.

All of my followers are either off oyan, or people who know that I do oyan. Well, oyan has changed my life in sooo many ways. Some amazing, some good, some not so good, some getting close to awful. Now I'm not saying that any of you amazing people are awful, some of you have just made me change in ways I never expected.

But just recently, within the past two weeks or so, God brough the Howdy 7 into my life. Anna, Eli, Reagan, Katie, Hannah, Eric, and Matt. I knew several of the group, a couple of them I knew very well, but there were also some people I'd never really had contact with before. They were kind enough to let me into their group, but I think it changed my life in a way they might not have been expecting.

A few phrases such as, "Smile!" "Happy Rules!" and, "God is good!" turn out to make such an amazing difference. If you can just remember these things...I promise you will be happy. They made me happy. Just tell yourself to smile through the pain, because there's always a something to smile about, because God is always good! Yes, the Howdy 7 made me realize that God really is good, no matter what I'm going through. Something that I knew, but had just pushed away so I could feel miserable. They were just so encouraging to me, in ways I really can't describe. For the first time, in a long while, I was really, truly happy and content.

It's amazing what being around Christian, encouraging people does to your life. So...I would like to encourage you all to find your Howdy 7. Find that group of people that you can be yourself around, who you can build up, and be built up by you in return. The people you can count on for prayer. The people who won't let you be sad and depressed, no matter how much you want to be. Find them, and never let them go.
