it's one thing to get writer's block when you're trying to write a formal essay for a class. it's another thing to get it when you're trying to write a song. but have you ever got it when you are trying to find something to say to that one special person?
no, no...i'm not talking about finding the right words to say to the person in order for them to notice you.
think about this scenario: you've talked to that person numerous times before, you connected, and all of a sudden that connection just stopped. when you see that person, you can't even start up a conversation anymore...
have you grown tired of that person? have you connected enough? maybe you just ran out of words to say to them. so what do you do at that point? do you try to keep going, hoping that you'll find something in common again on the way...or just simply throw in the towel and not try anymore.
it's your call if you want to take the easy way and just forget about that person, but don't you remember how you felt when you first met that person? that feeling of ecstacy when they were around you, the way their voice sounded when they talked, their...everything really. THAT should be the motivation to find something to connect with them again. don't give up because of one minor fault.
actions do speak louder than words. if you forget them and stop hanging around that person, then that person will get the impression that you don't want anything to do with them anymore. sticking with that person even though you have nothing to say is better than leaving them, vulnerable for other people to make a move.
if you ever find that you run out of words to say, stay cool, calm, collected. the words will come to you when they will. the awkward silences you may have with that person is better than having no moments with them at all.

acception
ok, it's obvious that tumblr didn't burst into flames. but i'm definitely having writer's block over in that section of my life, so i'm using this to write what's on my mind. bear with me on this.
it's true that we all have our own opinions on certain things, and sometimes we try to convince others that our views are what's right. although, most of the time the people who we try to convince reject what we have to say and keep their views. why do people reject others' views on things? is it that they're overwhelmed with what they have heard from you? maybe it's because they were taught that your views are completely wrong? whatever the reason might be, we're left with the question: "who's right? me or the one we are trying to convince?"
let me take this into a religious perspective, since that's what this is mainly about for me. for the past few years, i've (as well as many others) have been asked to invite people to listen to a bible study lesson in the church i go to. unfortunately, i wasn't able to successfully invite and bring someone to listen to the lessons as of yet. although, i did have friends from school that were invited to listen to the lesson, which was very surprising. after they heard the lesson, i asked one of my friends that attended, "so what did you think of the lesson." his reply was, "umm, i thought it was ok. i mean, i think it was a little bit over exaggerated..." i wasn't shocked at his answer, since i knew it was his first time in attending, and the fact that his religious views is agnostic. a few weeks later, there was another bible study that we were asked to invite. the first person i thought of was my friend who attended the first time. i asked, and he said no. i asked him why, and he said his mom doesn't like the church that i go to. this time, i was shocked.
here's another example that happened recently. on the 27th (tuesday), we celebrated INC Day, where we had this huge bible study with a dozen different locales. again, we were asked to bring people. this time, i technically did have a guest, but he was working inside the arena. he was listening to the lesson anyway as he worked. anyways, this wasn't about my guest. this incident (if you can call it that) happened hours after the event was over. being me, i posted a picture of the banner on the stage, which said "INC Day," and under it, i captioned it as, "the ending to a very enlightening day." a few minutes later, a person, who i had no idea who they were, reblogged it saying, "i'm laughing at the irony of the caption." (something along those lines.) at first, i was saying to myself, "ok...rude much?" and i just left it there. the next day, i got a text from my friend from hayward. she basically texted me apologizing because it was her friend that reblogged and said that rude comment. she also told me that he really doesn't believe in religion, and they got in a fight over it. i told her it was alright, and i didn't mind. quite frankly, that's when it hit me...
so, who is right? you or the person you're trying to convince?
here's the answer:
we can talk to people about our views on things, but most of the time they won't agree just because...well, whatever their mindset is. it's not our fault that the person we are trying to convince won't accept. if they don't accept, just let it go. if it wasn't meant to be, it's not meant to be, whether it be about religion or clothing brands. the best thing we can do is accept their opinions and their choices and be open. don't get mad at them. who knows, maybe there will come a time where that person will come around and accept your views too.

hi, remember me?
well, i decided to blog here as a change. if you haven't been following me since my last post, i've been on tumblr for the past year or so. but maybe some of you may have heard what might go down tomorrow, so i feel like venting about the situation. (i highly doubt anyone's gonna read this, but whatever. it's just for a log) well, some immature 11 year old posted some videos on youtube...being hella stupid. one of the videos she posted was to "all her haters." ok girl, first of all, EVERYONE HAS HATERS. IF YOU DON'T HAVE HATERS, THEN YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG. who gives a flying care if you have haters?! move on with your life kid! second of all, YOU'RE 11 YEARS OLD!! why the heck are you on the computer, recording videos of yourself cursing and posting pictures of yourself? whatever. well, this girl will be on good morning america tomorrow...if she mentions something about tumblr...all the tumblr users will be affected. the media will investigate about the matter, and the least they can do to the site is to ban all those risque posts. the WORST they can do is shut down tumblr. i really don't want that to happen. i've met a good handful of people that i've grown to love on there. well, if something really does happen tomorrow, then i still have this. something that i can just vent on, and only a few people can read it. the one thing i liked about blogspot is that i can write about almost anything...my feelings, what i've been through, etc...and people won't understand what i'm talking about, except me. as for tumblr, i can write about something...and everyone can see it. well, that's all i gotta say right now...wow, it's only been a few minutes and i have this much to talk about. i must be really aggravated. x] laters.
