Need someone to understand

Hi everyone -.-
It's me again)))
Sometimes I treat this blog somewhat like a diary and say things I would never say out loud.
LOL
Anyway, I just feel like although the people around you may change you for the better, I think some of the people around me are changing me for the worst. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I've been doing bad things, God forbid.
I think I'm just becoming a terrible person. My mother and I get into a lot of fights over such insignificant things....I think she's nervous about my sister but I never understood why she gets mad and doesn't admit it. Although I get it. I'm not a perfect child.
School is literally the place where drama is born. This happened to that that happened to this.
Sometimes I can't stand it. Sometimes it can be very interesting, haha.
At this point, the only one who lets me be myself is my cat. And he too sometimes walks away like the tiger in the end of life of pi (spoiler alert)
This may be overboard on personal feelings, but to be honest, I think so many people are feeling the same. I just want school to be over. I'm so excited for high school, actually. I really want to just start from a blank page. Like you know those dreams where you are a new kid in a new school and you start all over? That's the way I see high school. Just watch me say the same in the summer,
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, so I'm going to end it here before I say something stupid (unless I already did)))
Good Night........

Hi everyone!
Short notice, so sorry:

I made this my personal blog now.
I realized with all the ideas flowing, I need somewhere to write them down.
Prepare for a lot of maintenance on the blog look/

Thanks for understanding!

My thoughts on LOVE



Hi everyone!

Let's be honest, this is not a class assignment, but this thought came to my mind that I really wanted to share.

First off, I pretty proud of this so don't laugh. I kind of let my fingers soar the keyboard when I was answering my homework.

This is my answer to differences of love and hate.

Love arises from hate, and hate arises from love. Like darkness is the lack of light, I think love is the lack of hate. It’s a never ending circle, because the two are so intertwined. Love makes your heart sway and fly, as hate makes your heart sink, like the waves in an ocean. Waves are caused by wind, so I think this love and hate has to be caused by actions. It can't just be caused by looks. Although who knows. The feeling of love is so significant (and if we are talking good mothers)  just like a mother always feels something about or toward their child, I feel that if there is true love, something sways and your heart does tell you that it’s real or not. Romeo and Juliet shows that love can hurt but can also save. Their love arose from hate. So doesn’t that mean that hate can arise from love. They are so similar, they are almost too similar.

I felt like posting this because I didn't want to lose this. It kind of got me thinking, have we ever felt true love and hate?
For something to be so pure, it has to be simple. People are so complex, I honestly don't think that we ever felt something so true- it was always mixed with something. So in a way, none of us ever felt true love or hate. It's always a trail mix of chocolates and nuts)) in other words, it's always a combination of love and hate, sadness and happiness. This point is very biased around me, probably, but isn't there something to agree with in that?

And actually, I think that love is very vulnerable. I don't see love as a dove. Doves are strong and very annoying New York birds. If we were to compare love to nature, I would say ocean waves.
If love and hate are so intertwined, waves are just the pure examples.
Waves are salty, they are a mix. They are caused by wind and are transfers of energy in the water. Waves can be strong and weak. Tides can be high or low, or generally neutral. Waves  can have higher periods or higher crests. Ocean water has currents that go in a constant circle. Ocean waves are beautiful, but sometimes can be scary, and in cases, take lives. Waves are constant, are always there, and are blue. The sunset that comes from other things makes it bright, but it's not always bright. And deep, deep, in the waves you see little animals that don't want to come out. 

I can write so many more things, but I'm not a writer. I can't seem to put my ideas together to make them sound as beautiful as I would want them to be. And, to be honest, all I ever have are ideas. I never write them down. I'm too scared to let myself down. And my ideas. 

Thanks so much for reading and understanding.

Summary of ¨How they Croaked"

HI everyone!
A spooky book today. The book I read has the following subtitle: "The awful ends of the awfully famous"
That basically sums up the whole book.
Every chapter is a new famous person (the book is chronologically ordered) and it talks about in great detail how that person died, and things named after that person.
Today I read about Julius Caesar (who died on my birthday xD) and King Tut, (where they described the whole mummification process.) For example, it talked about how March was an unlucky month for caesar, and luckily enough, he died in march..
anyway.......The book is very strange but I found it interesting. I'll give it 3.5 stars/

Summary of Black Girl Dreaming

Hello fellow readers!
I finally finished the book, ¨Black Girl Dreaming" and it was amazing. I really recommend it.
It has all five of my stars. 
Here is a summary of the whole book. (SPOILER ALERT)

The protagonist in this story is Jackie. 
Jacqueline was born in Ohio, and is named after her father, Jack. She visits the south to see family, and doesn't understand why because it's segregated. Jack and Mary Ann have different views on what the south is doing, causing them to disagree and argue, eventually splitting the family apart. The family believes that acts for civil rights are right and that God will bless them for doing the right thing.

A lot of families treat them terribly, but there are also families that don't treat them so bad.
The family finally moves to New York, and there Jackie becomes best friends with a Puerto Rican girl named Maria and decides that she wants to become a writer.  The family still returns to South Carolina to visit their grandparents, However, each time to find Grandpa Gunnar, more sick. Things are starting to become a mess. Mary Anns brother gets sent to jail for acting on the Police and returns as a Muslim.  About the same time, Jackie and Maria start to love Angela Davis of the Black Panther movement. They imitate Angela, though they have no real idea about the revolution in which she is involved. Grandpa dies of cancer, and the family starts to live together again,

The beauty of the story is the way it's written. And how every word shows that the author simply wanted piece and everything to fall into it's place.

That's it for today.

Summary of the light bearer

Hello, readers...
I'm now reading a novel called "The light bearers daughter", written by an Irish writer with incorporated Irish mythology.
The Light Bearer is an engaging novel about Auriane, a Germanic warrior and priestess during ancient Roman times. The Germanic tribes are trying to fight off the legions of the Roman empire, and Auriane is captured and forced into the gladiator arena, where she poses a threat to the emperor's power. Auriane also falls in love with the Roman politician Marcus Julianus, her enemy, and greatest ally. 
This book is written in a very interesting format. One chapter would talk about the ancient priestess in terms of magic and wonder in third person limited, and the next consecutive chapter would be in third person omniscient, taking place in a low-class family made up of a single father and his strong daughter who doesn't want to leave to Canada where her father wants to move to work, and also where her father grew up. 
That's it for today

Summary of what I read in Fable Haven

Hi Guys!
I started to read fable haven,
Here is a summary of what I read:

Kendra and Seth's parents are making them stay with their reclusive grandparents while they go on a cruise. Grandma is absent, and  they learn that there are a lot of rules. They aren't allowed to go in the forest, and must stay in the house or barn. 
Seth, like a typical boy, decides to go into the forest when he gets a chance and meets an old woman who seems like a witch. Kendra ends up unlocking a journal that has the hidden message" Drink the milk" with three little keys her grandfather gave her. When the kids drink the milk that's placed around the gardens, they can suddenly see that all the insects (like dragonflies) are actually fairies.

Grandpa has a serious conversation with the kids about how the land is a preserve for magic creatures called Fablehaven. Now that they know what is going on, they get to meet a fairy trapper, Maddox, and a golem (a magical construct that obeys orders), Hugo—and it turns out that the housekeeper, Lena, is a former naiad. Seth is then  transformed into a creature because the fairies have a conflict with him and Grandpa must ask a favor of the witch, Muriel, to undo the curse. This leaves Muriel bound by only one knot, which is bad news.
 I stopped on a cliffhanger.
