On my way to school this morning, I was listening to the radio and the thing that really caught my attention was the Google list of most searched items for 2012. Of course, PSY and Gangnam Style was a topper, as well as Justin Bieber and One Direction - these were a given already.
But what I didn't expect was that the question that was most searched on Google this year was, in fact:
What Is Love?
This really caught my attention because...who knew that so many people are trying to find out what love really means?
This proves that the topic of love really seems to be the most unclear of them all, everybody wanting to understand it because it is human nature to want to be loved, and to know if what they, or others, feel is real love and not just one's own perception of the term.
Please feel free to leave your thoughts on What Is Love by commenting on any of the posts from the series!

The Real Me
You're right. I really do degrade myself too much and too often.
But that's only because there's nobody out there that knows the real me.
I believe that I am actually a tough cookie, they do not.
They think that I am a soft cookie/a marshmallow.
I am not.
They don't know the real me.
I am tougher than they think I am, more capable than they think I am.
I guess that's why I degrade myself so much, because I am given the impression that no one believes in me. Or more so, they cannot see my strengths or "tough side" and think that I am just some helpless, overly-nice "princess" who is a pushover.
In the long run, when people treat me like a degraded version of myself, I start to believe that I am actually a degraded version of myself, and start to put myself down.
This needs to change.

But how...?
*Once again, I had these brilliant thoughts in my head, but could not formulate them into words, making this blog post less effective and brilliant than it could have been. Oh well...great writing comes with a lot of practice.

Rollercoaster Ride
A picture is worth a thousand words, says a Chinese Proverb.
You can take it the figurative way, or the literal way: quote typographies.
Like this one right here - my current life, summarized through one picture.
This is actually not just my life, but every teenager's life.
Think of it as the world's largest, scariest, most thrilling rollercoaster.
You're scared to go on it, yet you have to admit, you're a bit excited too; that's the deal with entering into the teenage years - you're really excited that you finally get more freedom, responsibility, and will feel older.
However, that is the stage in life where most of the drama happens.
You're on a search for identity.

Reminiscing: Childhood
Reminiscing.
Nostalgia.
Memories.
They all mean the same thing (more or less).
Different people have different interpretations on these words, whether it be a recollection of their happy past, or a sad chapter that has passed.
Before I start, here is a little quiz for you to see if you can dig through that memory bank of yours and pull out where this screenshot is from:

If you really don't remember...maybe you were not from that decade or you've just simply never seen it before. I'll reveal the answer later on through this post. Whether or not this means anything to you, it surely means a lot to me and bring back a lot of nostalgic feelings from...over a decade ago.

Nobody's Perfect
In this blog post, I'm going to be slightly more personal than in my previous ones.
The reason?
I need help.
And sometimes, the best help you can give yourself is to write to someone who is in a similar situation as yourself, helping yourself at the same time.
As much as people may want to be perfect, the truth is that nobody is perfect.
Humans were created with flaws, or else we'd have motivation and nothing to strive for if everything came to us perfectly.
I am a perfectionist.
And it's getting to the point where this characteristic of mine is becoming really unhealthy for my life.
