Have you ever lost someone you loved? I have... In friendships, life, and death. And it's never easy. I recently lost a dear friend. She knew me my entire life. But I hadn't realized how much she meant to me until after she had left us. Life is funny that way, we go through it and never consider that one of your closest friends might move and you'll never see them again, or someone you know might die. And then we regret not telling them "I love you" enough.

Those three simple words don't mean what they used to. Now there thrown around without meaning. Think when you say "I love you" to someone are you saying it as a response to something they said? or are you saying it as heartfelt and loving statement?

So tell me do we really want to go throwing meaningful words around? I certainly don't. So sometime today, tomorrow, or anytime this week go up to someone you care for dearly and say "I love you." And make sure they understand that you mean it.

Whats the point?

Whats the point of living if we do nothing? I recently turned sixteen and it hit me... I am almost out of high school and haven't done anything with my life. Who am I? Am I really just that crazy creative girl my friends know me as or could I be so much more? I mean really guy's we could be the generation to change the world. What if we did something about the world we live in? It is our world after all.

A few years ago my family and I did a homeless outreach every weekend. and we would take food and sometimes personal supplies to them. Many of them were just labeled as the "drunk homeless." What has our world come to when we label people we don't even know? How many of us are guilty of doing it? I know I am.

Here a challenge for you. Say hi to someone you don't know, compliment them make them feel special. Trust me when someone tells you your beautiful it makes your day a whole lot better.
