Oh Romeo.

*Sigh*- Romeo and Juliet. To so many countless teens they are the symbol of true love. They’re going to hate reading this. Everyone is always saying things like, "He's my Romeo!".  I have heard so many people refer to Romeo and Juliet as such an amazing love story. How their "love" is so pure, beautiful, and how everyone wants something that “epic”. People say they strive to be like these two. But here's the thing. It's not love people. Lets be real. It's nothing more than infatuation. Would you like my reasoning? I’ll gladly give it. Romeo, oh Romeo. At the beginning of this so-called "great love story" Romeo "loves" a different girl. Then, as soon as he sees (yes sees, not meets) Juliet, he claims to be in love. Again. Then his mind is instantly changed before he so much as speaks to her. Now, here is where we arrive at the much debated concept of love at first sight. I am telling you, it's a bit ridiculous. I mean, this suggests that love is completely based on physical attraction since all you do is see their outer self. And it’s not even like you're seeing them adopt puppies while feeding the homeless and donating all their old clothes to the poor. That would possibly be a little justified. A little, being the operative phrase. But no, the vast majority of people that claim this occurrence, simply see the person they fall in love with in a normal setting. Now, our couple that is so idolized for their romance, barely get to know each other. Get married. Have sex. And then kill themselves because each one thinks their "true love" is deceased all in a matter of days. How do people not see how ridiculous and impetuous they are? So- forgive me if I think Romeo and Juliet were shallow and naive children. I must be crazy.

It has been ages.

This is terrible. It has been FAR too long. Well, here is what's going on in my head at the moment.

Thinking about my to do list. The one for the rest of my life. Also known as a bucket list. I have only accomplished a few; gotten a passport and used it, tried escargot and caviar, died my hair, gotten 100 subscribers, and am in the process of auditioning for a movie. That is just the very tip of the iceberg. I have so much left in what doesn’t feel like enough time. But I’m going to do it; all of it. Part of me feels that checking things off of my bucket list is selfish, despite the fact that I have thinks like “mentor someone” on the list.  It’s just that I want to live. And I mean really live. After my grandfather passed away even though I was full of grief I remember thinking back on his life and thinking about how wonderfully full and rich it was. He made films, went to wild and elaborate costume parties, was an artist for Disney, joined the military, saved people from an exploding plane, and so much more. He lived. And he was one of the most remarkable people I have ever known. And I aspire to be like him.

Hyrm. Maybe I should post my list on here...

Till then, Morgan Paige :)

Happy Things.

MAN is life beautiful. Sunny and gorgeous today. I quite like days like this.  I think while I eat frozen orange juice I will take a walk outside and greet the gorgeousness that is nature. God's creations are so wonderful and intricate! I am always in such awe of what He has done. Being outside in the quiet serene scene that is set before me always makes it so easy to clear my head and talk to God as well as think about how he loves me. I don't think I could ask for anything better. So very thankful. Well, must leave the computer and go outside. I'll type more later.

Oh Darn.

          Today's topic? Cussing. Most of us do it. And It's not right. It's shows you do not have much control of what you say and it's pointless to do as well. I mean, you use these awful words and does it ever really do any good? No. Not to mention, It makes one sound extremely unintelligent. As if you couldn't possibly think of a word better than ****. It's almost sad. Similar to saying um, which we all do only worse. It's worse than saying um a lot in conversation because not only is it an empty-headed thing to say, but it is also offensive to many people. Now let's look at the biblical aspect of cursing. In James 3:10 it states, "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My bretheren, these things ought not so to be,". I don't know how much clearer that could be. If we praise God, we should not cuss with the same mouth. What is beneficial about cussing? Nothing. I can not think of a single reason why it would be acceptable. Once again may I remind you, I write this for others as well as myself just incase I forget. Well, I'll probably write about happy things tomorrow.

          Alright. Here I am again. Wanting to write about... well,  I don't know yet. But something. I'm a bit of a scatterbrain, but I'll try to connect my thoughts somehow.
           Okay- I am so passionate about helping others. And I love it when others do the same. But something's been bothering me. Time and time again, when  people talk about working in soup kitchens, helping at the SPCA, or some other form of volunteering, they are asked why they do it and their answer is, "Because it makes me feel good," or "It makes me a better person,". Something to that extent. And the truth of the matter is, that's a horrible reason. Think about it. People in their backyard and around the world are in need and one's reasoning shouldn't be based on how helping others, benefits himself. It's so selfish. Want to know my reasoning? I'm sure you're on the edge of your seats. Well, I do not just do it because its nice. I do it because it's the will of God. Sounds cheesy I know. But it is so important! Times have come where I do not feel up for helping others. When it does not make me feel good and I continue on anyways. Because it is NOT about me or my feelings. It's about being selfless and focusing on others. And I write this not only for others, but because at some point I may forget this and need to read it to receive a swift kick in the pants. 
          I realized I'm not great at writing, as you can clearly see. So maybe I shall switch to video blogging. I simply don't know yet.

First Off.

Oh boy. So here I go. First off, I'm not a fantastic writer. I just like to write or type my thoughts. Well, I'm Morgan. I am kinda strange. But okay with that fact. I am in love with Jesus Christ my Lord and savior. He has helped and carried me throughout countless times of trials. I am so incredibly grateful for absolutely everything he has done for me. I regret nothing. You see, every little thing that occurs in this world happens for a reason. No do-over button wanted here. I'm a weird mixture of things, including: awkward, sarcastic, introverted, positive, happy, compassionate, and all around impossible to figure out. I love my family. My creative big sister, sweet mother, and deliverer of lives father. They are all wonderful and I would never trade them for anything. I live in kind of a big house. But if I had my way, I'd be living in a very small cottage surrounded by flowers and lovelyness as well as kind neighborly people near by. I've learned to appreciate the little things. And now I need to go but I'm almost positive I will write more later.

Till Then, Morgan Paige ;)
