"Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world.

Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.

Recently alot of things have been happening that arent so great, but instead of just getting more and more sad i've started to look at things from a more positive point of view, being happy is a choice, we can either choose to look at things like its the end of the world or just something we have to overcome to get to something better in life. I haven't ever really prayed with intent before but let me tell you a story that really made me know that God is true and real and that he loves all his children. So I have a friend of mine who is actually my best friend and always will be, but they have been going through some really bad stuff lately, their depressed and lost in the world that has been so cold to them.

But over the last week i have been praying that he will be okay, and that everything w...
