I am Grateful for Clever Post Titles.

By Anonymous -
I'm sitting on the corner of my couch with a glass of iced tea, trying to ignore everything except the country song playing on the radio. A thought floats into my head. What do I have to be grateful for?

 To be honest, I don't think much about what specifically I am grateful for. I always just see balance. Practicing gratitude has always seemed a little bit one sided to me. At least it evokes good thoughts in people. Here is what I am grateful for. 

 1. I am grateful for my family and how they are always there for me. 

 2. I am grateful for all of the "standard" stuff such as food, shelter, and all of that. If I didn't have those things, then I couldn't enjoy anything else. 

 3. I am grateful for school. I honestly don't know what I would do without my school, all of the amazing people there, and the wonderful things that happen there. 

 4. I am grateful for living in a country where I can say and do whatever I want. 

 5. I am grateful for my friends who always support me in their own ways and each bring something interesting to my life. 

 6. I am grateful for being able to have my own personal soap box from which to shout my thoughts. (this blog)

 7. I am grateful for music. Music is a means of escape to me. For three minutes I can turn on the radio and let my troubles fade away. 

8. I am grateful for books and all of the life lessons that I have learned from them. 

 9. I am grateful for my thoughts no matter how treacherous or stupid they are. 

 10. I am grateful for the exact place, time, and situation in which I live. Life has not always been kind to dreamers. 

 11. I am grateful for all those of you who read this and my other posts.

To My Parents,

I'm not terribly good at expressing gratitude. I'm not good with time. Most of the time, I need a reality check. I'm always too stuck in my thoughts to do or say anything important. When I eventually decide to do something, I just end up ruining it.  You two are the only reason that the first paragraph didn't keep going on into infinity. You said I should just get this over with, so I will.  You might not always tell me what I want to hear, but there is no doubt in my mind that you always tell me what I need  to hear. I'm just terrible at listening.  When I say certain things, people look at me like I have five heads, but you actually try to understand what I'm saying. I appreciate that so much because a lot of times I feel like the three of us are the only ones listening.  Unlike most people, you tend to understand me. Even when you don't, I still know that you're trying as hard as you can.  I have no more words because there are too many.

Hi people,  Though it might not look like it from the title, this is a post about music and what part it has in my life.  For the most part, music is a distraction. Many people might lose some of their focus around music. I lose all of my focus. There have been many occasions where I haven't done anything productive for days  because of a song that is stuck in my head. This is especially annoying when I don't even know the words to the song. Another problem I often come across is being in a very quiet place and feeling the need to start humming or tapping the beat of one of my favorite songs. Even with all its distractions, I still love music.  This is the main question in my life.  -Dianna

The Beginning and the End of the End

By Anonymous -
Hi people,  Today I am writing about the end of my years at my school. I really didn't want this post to be cliche, but the end of this school year is a massive, all eclipsing issue in my brain right now.  This is because I really don't like that this year is ending. I don't like the idea of being separated from my classmates. I don't like that I have to leave my teachers. I don't like the idea of leaving almost everyone I know for a building full of strangers. I don't like any of it. AT ALL.  Last year was very different. I spent the last day staring at the clock and when the time to leave came, I snatched my report card and ran out of the building. I was the first to leave. I didn't event bother to say goodbye to anyone.  That summer I spent a lot of time thinking, and I started to appreciate my school a lot more.  Now, I can't even go a week without school. Over spring break, I kept thinking about how my classmates would laugh at something
