Things aren't what they seem

Walking down the hall with her head held high, every hair is in its place, sees a friend and she waves hi, wearing a smile on her perfect face. Friendly, smart, and beautiful, everyone adores this girl. Seemingly content, her head's in a whirl. Inside she's unhappy, and doesn't know why. She lays in her bed at night and cries. She doesn't know what causes the tears; how could this princess have insecurities or fears? She has it all. A pretty smile, many friends, a great guy, the newest trends, her family has money, and she gets good grades. Always looking happy, every single day, but inside she's feeling a different way. This is wonder girl, she's everyone's dream, but things aren't always what they seem.

Love this poem someone wrote for me

Charlet, Charlet, drunk on wine
You make me smile all the time
Keep writing your poems, keep on with the prose
What's really on your mind, love
No one quite knows.

(I love the fact that I don't even drink wine :P)

Kids, you need to know some things. First off, life isnt all about who you're dating or what you're wearing. As much as you think people care, they really don't care how perfect your hair is, or how ripped you are. Yes, you need to take care of yourself, but there are more important things in life. The world doesn't care about your 90 % average, or your first place dance award. Acne will go away, and your hair cut will grow back out. Life is meant to be fun, it's about living for moments, and not for people. Life is about how you live, not how you look. You CAN spend your weekend lying in bed watching movies, or you CAN go out and party all weekend. As long as you're enjoying life, and as long as you're happy, it doesn't matter what you're doing. If its not fun, its not worth doing. So please be yourself and enjoy life. It's too short to be miserable

Sometimes I feel like there's a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing... I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don't know. Maybe I had my happiness
