may long weekend

Why is May-long Weekend so popular and looked forward too? After all, it isn't the only long weekend that the world offers. Why does this one have to be so special and wonderful?

I understand that it is Queen Victoria's birthday on the Monday, and though I am fond of the past queen and long weekends, I don't quite understand why this one is so much more special than any other long weekends that are attached to holidays.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the long weekend, I just don't understand why it is so much more awesome than any other long weekend (or so it seems). Not that I actually got a long weekend at all...oh well! More monies for me!

pandas are awesome

I think I decided that pandas are one of my favorite animals.

Anyways, I found this panda picture and it amused me, so I thought I would share it. Enjoy.

What if this was true...lol.

messages in songs

There is this album that is so amazing (and everyone should buy it *cough cough*) called Vulnerable by The Used. The first track on the album, called "I Come Alive" is not only fantastic, but it also has a great message. 

This song is about how falling down in life, or going through a really tough time or hitting the bottom, can sometimes be the best thing that can ever happen to you.

And I couldn't agree more. 

I have been through some really hard times myself, which I'm sure that we all have, and I can say that even though it was hell to go through at that time, I have grown from them. Those times have - and are still - making me a better person as I rise up from those hard times. I am getting stronger as a person because of the hardships in my life and because of that, I am sort of thankful in a way that I hit the bottom. 

This song is a reminder of that for me; to take the bad things that have happened to you in the past and to grow from them. 

I try to be a stronger person, and so far so good :) Another good song (though VERY different from "I Come Alive") is Demi Levato's song "Skyscrapers". It's very pretty and also gives the same message about rising from your hardships and the strength you gain from those experiences.

In conclusion, always remember that when you hit the bottom, you have the strength to stand back up again and conquer your hardships. You are never alone and there will always be someone there to help you through your struggles and support you. You are loved and cared about, you have the strength to conquer anything.
