Let there be peace on earth

Unfortunately, there is quite a bit of drama surrounding my life.
i don't know how people would do this daily, it's exhausting.
i like my peace, i love my usually drama free, friends and family.


When i leave this world, i don't want to leave knowing i've inflicted heartbreak and sadness,
I want to be remembered as a peaceful person,
I've started a new thing just around the end of summer, i decided to be as kind as humanly possible to every individual my life comes in contact with. The majority of people have lost all respect for others, and have forgotten the concept of 'turning the other cheek'.
Turning my cheek.
Is just about the HARDEST and the best thing i have ever decided to do. Forgiveness is easy compared to the graviety and weight of being mad and holding a grudge. It beats down on your soul, that grudge begins to control your outlook on life, and the actions one takes.
Being a kinder, genteeler being, does not take much effort, just a change in the way one thinks.
It takes a hello, or a smile at a stranger, or a hug, a bit of small talk to someone usually outcasted in school, not much of your time, not a lot of effort, but you may have just made their day.
cliche? yes, but cliches are used so often because they're true, and have some logic behind them.

So much grief and despair could be avoided if everyone was a peacemaker, if everyone had a friend, if everyone forgave and asked for forgiveness,the world would be a MUCH brighter place.

“As I have said, the first thing is to be honest with yourself. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself... Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty, but humility.”
-Nelson Mandela

leave your imprint on someone's life
starting right now
just make sure to leave a positive one.

My challenge to you is to step up,
stop gossiping,
stop creating drama,
stop poking fun at someone elses' expence,
make a difference.
turn your cheek

orientation

is absolutely pointless.
I've been in that damn school for 2 years now, i think i know my way around those four halls pretty well by now, and anyone who doesn't is just an idiot.

so I'm sitting in first hour and it all just hits me. i hate when something like that happens. it could be a word a phrase a name and suddenly you are caught completely off guard and the wind is taken out of you and you don't know exactly what to do. It's not an unbearable feeling because you know it's not the end of the world but it certainly isn't pleasant and makes you wonder about EVERYTHING in your life and where its all going to go from now

I'm not going to tell you what caught me off guard, because that's my business, but do y'all know what I'm talking about?

my life for now

So, out of total boredom, and my unwillingness to read "The Hobbit" I have created this blog.
I have absolutely no intention of keeping it up or following though on this, but you never know.
SO my name is Michelle DuBois.
I hate sleep, and my dreams, and anything that pretty much makes me feel out of control. This summer has made me realize that i am a bit of a control freak. Not like overly obsessive about it, i just like knowing where my life is going, and i try my best to point it in the most direct and regret-free way.
I go to Cabrini, it's okay i guess. the people are pretty damn amazing but the school is...less than amazing. ha.
so yes, i L-O-V-E my music. i constantly have music playing. it's a pretty huge part of who i am. My favorite bands are Cobra Starship, Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, Metric,and of course, Britney Spears, oh and lately I've been HUGE into Indie music. i love it a lot. I guess I'm more of a pop and techno person and i don;t know why, but lately I'm veering more in to Alternative. My guess its a huge influence of one of my best friends.

so yes, that's all you need to know for now anyways
