Should we search for answers?

As humans, we will seek answers. Why? I have no idea. Think about it. With any mystery we're given, we will do almost anything to solve it. In crime scenes, we usually will do it in order to seek justice from any given character. But really it just causes more pain, expectations and unwillingness. When the family of the victim finds out who caused the murder, usually the pain somehow gets worst. I'm not saying that seeking justice is bad, but when other emotions travel along with that, is it really worth it?
In math, we have imaginary numbers for equations that don't have a logical answer. If it's imaginary, can it really be called an answer? Actually I think it's kind of silly that we invited the imaginary number in the first place. If it doesn't have a logical answer, than can we even use this "imaginary" number? I'm not sure since I'm not a math genius, but why must we always seek an answer? Is there really an answer for absolutely everything in life? No, no, no, no and no!
Can we explain why we cause trouble because we want to? Maybe there's some reason that psychologists have come up with, but is that really true with every single individual? We all were raised differently, have different backgrounds, born in different places, have different views and values, so how can we all be given the same answer? It doesn't make sense. Why must we all seek answers? Usually, before we do something we expect to know the finished product, but why? Because we're usually selfish people who think about our well being rather than someone else's... Gosh, I sound like such a cynic.
Much love to Andrea who read over my messy rough draft in Spanish 3 and insisted I don't change a thing. I did it for you girl, because I definitely wanted to change just about everything!
Night everyone!
P.S. I'm still on the fence about this topic. I think we should unwrap the present, but keep the object intact. Does that make sense? Probably not...
Love,

Sweetie, let your hair down

I'm going to be honest with you. I really really really want to be philosophical and deep tonight, but it's just not happening. My thoughts are so scattered right now, I can't focus on one single topic. This happens to me a lot, but tonight it's just too much. I start thinking about happiness, and than my thoughts stray to dogs and Baja Blast. Maybe I have ADD... Okay, see, right there! I can't even focus. Anyway...
The point of this blog is a little reminder. I'm reminding you to let go a little bit. My last blog post that I posted last night was talking about how we take life too seriously, and how we strive for perfection when we should simply strive for happiness. Tonight's post will be very similar. I'm just here to tell you to LET GO! Let your hair down and smile. Instead of doing daily motions without thinking, add a little twist to help remind yourself that you can make anything fun. For example, when I was about to get into the shower, I turned on Work Out by J. Cole and had an awesome dance party all by myself. I gotta admit, that was the highlight of my day. This also relates to how the simplicities of life that no one really thinks about are so amazing.
Whenever I get into my car, the first thing I do is open my sunroof if it's not raining. I just love feeling the fresh air and sun all around me. Anyway... it's the simple things in life that build up to the bigger things. One brick might not look like much, but once you put a bunch of them together you have a brick wall! (That probably wasn't the best analogy because building walls aren't always good but you get the point...) I just think that we need to let our hair down sometimes. Have fun!
Did I succeed? Are you going to laugh a little louder because you feel like? DO IT! Seriously!
Night everyone!
P.S.
Can you tell I'm in a really good mood?

A perfect life isn't as fun as you'd think

Yay! Woohoo! Yippee! Now, I bet you're wondering why I am so excited... Well, my blog officially received it's 500th view on April 3rd! I know it's probably not a lot compared to some celebrity or even another regular blogger, but it's so exciting for me. I only have about four followers yet 504 views. That just tells me that people from Facebook actually read my blog when I share the link and that makes me so freakin' happy! Now I feel like I might be talking to a few people rather than a computer screen. Anyway... I just wanted to make you guys aware that I'm very grateful that you read my blog!
Now, to get down to business...
My blog is named "Just a girl with dreams"... So why don't I write about dreams more often? I don't mean the dreams you have when you sleep, but the ones you think about during the day. Better worded as aspirations. I think the only thing I can say about people and their dreams is that people need to follow them more often. The thing that amazes me is the way people take life WAY too seriously. Honestly. We have limited time here, so why are you so focused on making it perfect? What's so great about living a perfect life? Is it fun to drive on a straight road going the same slow speed limit? Absolutely not. Take risks. Go a little faster than you're supposed to. Take a right turn even though you don't know where it leads. Don't we all simply live to die anyway? Might as well enjoy the time we have, since tomorrow isn't even guaranteed.
Now back to dreams... The only reason people don't follow their dreams is fear. Fear of not succeeding... Fear of letting down someone else's expectations... Fear of having to really work for it... Fear of going through difficulties. Basically, we're just scared of things we can't predict. But really, it's so silly. Can we predict when there's going to be a car collision on the way to work that slows us down? No... Can we predict a bad day? No... We can't predict everything. Now, if we can't predict, and we don't even have guaranteed time, why aren't we living our dreams? I will never understand why people let difficulties get in their way. Stop pitying yourselves and figure out a way to pave your own future. You have to take control.
I never thought I would do this, but Lil Wayne very cleverly took the words right out of my mouth when he said "No one gives you chances, you gotta take chances". Cheers to you Lil Wayne.
Goodnight and have sweet dreams everyone! And tomorrow, try to take a few risks. By the end of the day, you'll probably be more happy with your life.

Lucky to live

Tonight, I realized how amazing life really is. Even when everything is going horribly wrong and you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, you just gotta stop for a second and breathe. Smell the fresh air. If you're too exhausted to involve yourself, sit back and watch life happen. But don't get carried away! Learn to balance your life between being actively involved and being an observer. You really get to live the best of both worlds then.
If you're still not convinced, just think about the oxygen running through your lungs and the blood running through your veins. Sweetie, we are so lucky to experience life. Let's just enjoy it!
Goodnight everyone and have sweet dreams.
