"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

King of Anything

SOOoooo... I've decided I'm sick of trying to find a topic and write all organized and crap on here. I guess I feel like I should-being an English major and all... but that's exactly why I shouldn't.

Yep, I need a place I can write how I want. I am sick of worrying what people think of me. And I honestly can't find a reason in the world that I should care. I just want to be myself-more than just in my journal. A journal that no one reads.

Think what you will. Say what you want. I'm gonna work on not caring. Because I think it will take work. I think the hardest thing to change is your thoughts. And when my thoughts are preoccupied with what other people's thoughts are there isn't room for me to really think.

So this is me declaring my new goal of being myself. I may not always be happy. I may complain. I'm not going to pretend something just so others are happy.

If you haven't heard the song "King of Anything" by Sarah Bareilles you should totally listen to it. I LOVE it. And I think it fits here.
