Pyromaniacs

Humans are bombs. Not like, "the bomb.com", but an actual bomb. Obviously I'm speaking in non-literal terms, but still, you get the point.

Bombs obliterate everything through one swift movement, and so can people. A word, an action, a thought; it can all be used for destruction.

But who are the bombs? And why are we not smart enough to avoid them?

The bombs are every single person in your life, including yourself. And we aren't smart enough to avoid them because, as the late Hannah Montana said, "nobody's perfect". Therefore, we are constantly being bombed, sometimes intentionally, and other times accidentally.

What is "being bombed" though?

It's being sworn at for sitting by the wrong kid on the bus. It's that one (fake) friend that tells you you're a brat. It's the #coolkids glaring at you as you walk by.
*Continues to list multiple other semi-applicable examples.*

But as much as all of these "attacks" suck, the ones inflicted by yourself cause the most harm. I call it...self-destruct. This is when you look at yourself in the mirror and notice every single flaw and imperfection. Self-destruct is when you're looking at the most popular Instagram that you know of, and tell yourself "I can't compete with that." It's when you beat yourself up about not being able to do the talent you dream of.

But what can you do? The attacks seem nonstop, much like Liam Neeson.

So to that I say:
NOOOOO

Stop it. Get through it. Spend your time doing something else. Go eat your heart out, and stop being a pyromaniac.

Hello, my name is...

Ashley. Or Ash. Or even Sugar (some restrictions may apply). I'm an open book, or so I think. I'm the type of person who makes fun of cliche "white girl" stereotypes by following them and secretly loving it. I put more thought into an Instagram post than I should, and I base a lot of my thoughts off of social media. I'm the girl with the obnoxious laugh that is actually funnier than the joke. While I am not even close to being a dancer, I tend to find myself dancing in the mirror because it brings me immense happiness. I have a serious love for music, particularly piano. Like every other human, I dream of traveling the world. My most pressing issue in life right now is when I should take Drivers Ed. I love my friends and family, and I'm constantly thinking of their influence on me as a person. I don't mind being a third wheel. I take time to savor food. I have an obsession with conducting music. I freak out if I miss even just one hour of school. One of m...

College?!?

Disclaimer: Whenever I see ?!? it makes a sound in my head like a diesel truck honking and a baby crying, all mixed together with the faint noise of a kazoo... so, ya. I hope you now understand why I titled this "College?!?" I decided to write this post because I wanted to help out two of my dearest friends, who asked me to tell all the in's and out's of college as their graduation gift. But now I've decided this is actually just a lil pep talk for me to get through the semester. (This is them. My friends. Who are probably the only ones who will ever read this lol.) Sadly, I don't know anything about college really. It's a different experience for everyone, and we all go through life at our own pace, right? But, since this is my page on the internet, and all ya'll are going at my pace at the moment, I've decided to share some things I've learned and what's worked for me over this past year(ish) of being at Utah State Universi...

Defining Moments

People say that trials make or break us, and I full-heartedly agree. Sure, trials present stupid situations and life-changing decisions, but these are what I call "defining moments". How we respond and retaliate to adversity says a lot about our character, and who we are as a human being. It can make us or break us, and it's completely up to you. We are all unique, therefore our capacity for heartbreak and tribulation varies. For example, person A is going through a parent's divorce, and person B is battling severe illness. Person A couldn't even comprehend person B's trial, and same goes otherwise. Each trial is specific to a person's needs and potential, but each is meant to be a "defining moment". Defining moments range from all over the spectrum, and each person will continually face them throughout life. Just remember: each trial comes with a lesson, and the end product will be the most wonderful "you" possible. My defi...
