One Person

Hello, Paige here. The people in our lives can make such a difference. They could make either make it amazing or some can make it hard.
It's good to be friendly and outgoing but not everyone will like you and you won't like everyone. There may be one person however who can touch your life. Or you could touch someone else's life.
Giving someone a compliment and trying not to burst someone's bubble matters. Yes, it's important not to worry what people think. When one keeps hearing negative things over and over they lose their self-esteem. Today you could be that person who will help raises someone else up.
It's important that we try and be nice to everyone. We should treat others as we would want to be treated. It sounds cliche but it's the truth. People will not remember what you said but they will remember how they made you feel. You could be the smile on someone's day. Then one day when you are going through a hard time someone may come along and brighten your day.
Starting tommorow give everyone you see a smile. Give as much compliments as you can to people. If someone needs encouragment, encourage them. If someone wants positive feedback give it to them. Whatever you do try to brighten someone else's day and make the world a better place.

Until Next Time,

Paige

High School Beginings

High school can be the best four years of your life or it could be the worst. No matter what they are four years you will remember. Proms, SAT's, Homecomming, Games and Parties.
I remember my first day of high school. It was scary, being in a new building and meeting new people. I love meeting new people and I had my old friends while I made new in some of my classes.
I was excited to see my best friend and even more excited that we had alot of classes together. Pretty soon I got used to it.
Weather it's high school your starting or college or even a new job the key is to have faith. Believe in yourself and stay true to yourself. People may hurt and dissapoint you but you must always remember to never lose sight of who you are or your values. People may make you feel that you should change but never do. If someone can't appreciate you for who you are than they are not worth your time of day. You can do anything you want to do.

You Get What You Want After You Moved On

Hello and sorry that I haven't written you in awhile. Today I am going to discuss love and how our past sometimes pops back up into our present or future. Even after we moved on from that someone.
Remember the guy who I wrote about? The one who I wanted to notice me but no matter what I did it wasn't enough? Well I did move on. I have guys in my life who treat me great. The only thing the one from my past is back. I've seen him around and he has been nice to me. His eyes lit up when he saw me and last he wished me a happy birthday. Last year he never would have wished me a Happy Birthday. He also asked if I was going to be in a coffee shop that I always see him around in. I don't know if he is comming around.
These three guys are amazing. Their georgous and always put a smile on my face. One of them is in a relationship and the other two I'm not sure if they are relationship types. With them and with other guys whatever is meant to be will be.
I had that attitude after the last guy. He couldn't appreciate me but I know there is a guy out there who will. I had so much fun with these guys. Now he's back. What if he was the one who if it's meant to be it will be with?
I don't know about my future. I know he didn't treat me right in the past and I do deserve a guy who will treat me with respect. I don't know who I will date or what will happen with the three guys I know now. I just know that I deserve to be with someone who loves and respects me and wants to be with me too.

New Beginings

Hey and Welcome to another edition of "Social Life." I know that it's been awhile and alot has happened since then. So I'm going to catch you up.
Last we left off and my job closed. I liked a guy who wasn't treating me right. I still don't have a job but I did meet other guys.
Two of them are bartenders and one of them is a waiter. They are all around my age. One of them has a girfriend and I don't know if the waiter does. I don't even know if the single ones want a relationship.
I never thought that I would be friends with bartnders. Now that old guy is out of my life and I am not dating anyone. I did go on a date with one guy though. He was cute but wasn't my type. I gave him a chance though.
Remember the last guy and how I wanted him so badly? Well I'm not going to do that anymore. I'm not going to put all my eggs in one basket. I have amazing qualities and the right guy is out there somewhere. I have no idea who he is. I know he is out there though. I'm going to trust the universe that one day he will come to pass.
If there is a guy in your life don't rule him off. Get to know him and be his friend first. Maybe he is your type or maybe he isn't. Just go and enjoy life. You never know what could happen. When you don't expect you get what you want. Live life to the fullest and chase your dreams. Believe that love is out there for you and at the right time everything will fall into place.

All Good Things Come to an End

Hello Paige here,

So you have read some articles about guys. You know the recent one, the one I work with? Well today was the last time that I may ever see him.

Tommorow is my last day of work. It is being put out of buisness so it is time to work at a new job. I have been at this place for a year and a half. The hours and the pay wasn't great. The people that I met there I enjoyed though.

One of the workers I had a huge crush on. He didn't treat me as I deserve to be treated but I still liked him. I also met other friends there.

This job was just a job to pass time while I look for a job with my major. I still haven't found a job with my major but I am trying to have faith that soon I will. The economy is real tough now.

I remember when I first spoke to the guy I like. I remember how I liked him and how I wish he came into my life. Now he did. He wasn't the kind of guy who I imagined him to be. I am glad I got to know him, even if he wasn't the nicest guy. I will remember him and if it is meant to be than one day we will cross paths again.

If there is someone in your life today who you might not see again be thankful that you got to know them, even if they weren't who you thought they were. Be glad that you got to know them and see who they really are. Everything happens for a reason and if it is meant to be then you will know it.

Next time,

Paige

Icebreakers

Do you get really shy when you talk to a guy you like let alone guys in general? You want him to make the first move. That doesen't always work. Sometimes you have to be the one to break the ice.
Make eye contact. That is key number one. If the guy looks back then you could move to the next step.
The next step once you made eye contact is to smile. If the guy smiles then you could keep the fliration going. If he doesen't smile then it would be best to say that he is just not intrested. Or he could be a very moody person.
The third step is to make conversation. A best line is "Did you go to wherever high school? You look like someone I went to high school with." If the guy says yes then start a conversation about high school. What sports did he play? How was college? If a guy answers one word or doesen't pay attention then it's time to move on. If he pays attention or keeps the conversation going then you should be happy. The more he talks to you the more it means he is in to you. Even if you just met you could start to be friends and build onto that. You never know what could happen in the future.
Last relax. You could make a few jokes if you want. Once you feel things are going okay then you have nothing to worry about.
So here are ways to break the ice with someone you like. There are many other ways. This you could do without feeling too foward. Always have confidence. No matter how good looking the guy is never feel that you aren't good enough. Never let anyone make you feel that you don't derserve to be with the person you want.

When People Don't Belive in You

Hello Paige here. Has anyone ever told you lies about yourself and you believed it? Tonight I am going to discuss when people accuse us of not being good enough.
Math has never been my best subject. One time I was in class and didn't get it. My teacher said that I have dyslexia which I don't. I just didn't understand the equation. For the rest of the day I was upset.
All of us have things that we are good at and we have our weaknesses also. The world tends to focus on our weaknesses and that is what causes us to have low self-esteem. We have goals but feel that we can't acomplish things because of how others made us feel.
Today focus on your strengths. Accept the areas that you are bad at and ask God to make you overcome the areas where you are not so good. Everyone has something special in them that makes them different from someone else. Be proud of who you are. Don't listen to the lies that others are telling you.

See you next time,

Paige

Bullies

Bullies. What makes them act the way they do? What do you do when you are getting bullied? Is it easy to just walk away? Tonight, I will answer all of those questions.

I don't mean to be concited but once you meet me it will be hard not too like me. I am very sweet and love meeting new people and making new friends. I was always that way but the bullies of the world didn't see me that way. I was born with confidence just like all babies are. Then something happens to us to change how we feell about ourselves. It wasn't until I met someone my Junior year of college who changed my life. All ofa sudden I had confidence again. That is another story though. This is about someone I knew in middle school.

I knew this guy in middle and high school. He was mean. One day I was walking ahead of him and he and he said "animal" under his breath and started to laugh. I put on my headphones and kept walking. Now that was all that happened. I was very sensitive though and when anyone would call me a name I would get upset. I wanted to say don't call me that or don't speak to me that way but I couldn't fight back. I then remembered the one who got away and how he treated me. He liked me and he treated me with nothing but respect. I can't believe how I just let him go.

Alot of time bullies act the way they do because of their growing up. Middle and High School is when bullying is at an all time high. The effects of bullying can last a lifetime. People say ignore the words but it is very hard to ignore those words. Eventually those words become scars and we believe all the bad things that are said about us even if it isn't true.

I once stood up for myself and the people who were bothering me left me alone. Then when they saw me they smiled at me and that was that. When I showed that was weak though the bullying got worse and worse. I am not saying to fight because if there is one thing that I am against is fighting. I believe that if you talk things out and tell people how you feel things will get better.

It's not easy to walk away but try standing up for yourself. No matter how hard it is keep your head up high. Keep believing that one day you will meet people who treat you the way that you deserve to be treated. Think of the people who appreciated you or something that made you laugh or even a time when you were most happy. Keep moving foward and show the world what an amazing person you really are.

New Years Resolution

Hello and welcome to another edition of Social Life. I know I haven't been on for awhile and I am sorry about that. Today I am going to talk about New Years. I love New Years. Mainly New Years Eve because it's all about having fun and no strings attached not like Valentines Day. I also love New Years Day because it is the start of something new. It is forgeting about the past and starting new. My New Years resoultions in the past have been to lose weight or get a boyfriend. Then during one point when I liked a guy who was mean was to forget all about him. It was easy at the time bceause I was a freshmen in college and he was a senior in high school. It's a long story and I did move on. This year I didn't know what my resoultion should be, then it finally came to me. This year I am not going to waste my time on people who don't want me. I am going to have more confidence in myself as well. There could be someone out there who knows how to treat me so I am going to stop wasting my time on someone who treats me badly. I value myself. This should go for alot of people. We stay with people who treat us badly because of our feelings. We want that person to be with us. We make excuses for them and we get so upset. Life is too short to waste it on things like that. So today make sure that the people you are with treat you right. As the saying goes "If you love something let it go, If it comes back it's yours. If it doesen't it was never meant to be yours in the first place."
