Humor makes hard times easier. For me personally, this is how I cope with hard times. I joke about what happened and how I am feeling so it doesn’t feel like its such a heavy weight. In the past, It was what carried me through my depression and anxiety. Yeah, sometimes it was self-deprecating and mean to myself, but it brought light to others in my life and that I was struggling. But now, its my lifeline. It is how I am going on day by day with my use of humor and others humor. It aids myself in healing.

Books are better than movies. Firstly, I am going to say my first example is one of the most controversial things in this assignment, it's the Harry Potter movies. Like the actors are great and it isn't lacking in that sense, the book is just better. Secondly, The Hunger Games Series is just written so well that the movies couldn't give it glory even if those movies are still really good. After all, this is just my opinion in the end.

Painful experiences teach valuable lessons. Firstly, without some of the things that happened to me, I would not be the person I am today. I wouldn’t be as humbled or able to help others so willingly as I am now. After all, painful days with my trauma and mental illness taught me that life isn’t about the future but the next breath. For some, it can teach them the power of their god or that there isn’t a god in my case. The healing process is where the lessons are learned in my experience.

Beauty is not skin deep, it's more than that. Firstly, a body is a body. You should not fat shame someone for the body they have. While on this point, you should not shame someone for being too skinny. They could have a medical condition that causes their body to look that way for both of these cases. However, everything has beauty but you have to look deeper. Think about who you have a deep connection with. You see their face but what is beautiful about them to you. Their laugh? Their personality? Similar interests? How were they there for you, even when you are at your worst? These are things that are that more. You can't just look at someone with these and say they are beautiful.

Well, here are the thoughts for that one. I would be in two places but there are two places I wish I could be in. The first place to look would be in a theater for some type of play. Live performances are a joy to watch and be in. I may be the definition of a geek but I prefer just being me, really. It took most of high school years to learn that. Also just sitting in one is just peaceful and shows how small your existence is and, however small you are, can make a difference. So big yet so small is what this existence is to me. The second place to look is my basement, my haven of mess and living. In my haven, I could be doing many things. Commonly, I am writing, drawing or just on my phone. Well, sleeping and homework is also involved but not the most exciting thing in my existence to point out. I wish I could be out and about or even hanging out with my girlfriend at her place. She is unquestionably and awesomely my best friend too. The second place is with whom I am going to name the star-crossed lover, my other best friend, but for now let's shorten it to SCL. SCL is someone who I know we weren’t destined to be with each other but I still long for this person. They told me in a different world they would date me. They say that phrase, you know what phrase I am talking about. Classic Romeo and Juliet without the dying and poison. Just two star-crossed lovers who are worlds apart and I am ok with that one. Thats why I have a girlfriend. Thats why they have a girlfriend. So its cool but laying my head on there lap and see there smile is just heaven on earth.
