Rant #1: Columbine High School massacre

I saw an article on Wikihow about Rachel's Challenge and I wanted to talk about it a little bit. Rachel was the first victim of Columbine High School massacre. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Columbine massacre happened in 1999. Two students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students and 1 teacher and injured more than 20 people on April 20, 1999. Rachel wrote several diaries and really wanted to help other people. She said: ,,I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same.'' For more information about this challenge go to http://www.rachelschallenge.org.  

While I was reading more about this massacre I started asking myself so many questions. What possesses someone to plan this massacre months in advance and then at the age of 17, 18 kill and injure innocent people? What goes through their minds to even think about doing something like this? Where did they get all the weapons? How can an underage person get all the guns and bombs they had without someone suspecting something bad is gonna happen? 

I just don't understand why would someone harm innocent people and then commit suicide at the end. 

Life is beautiful. Live every moment to the fullest because you never know when it's gonna end. Tell the people you love how you feel before it's too late. And for all of you who are going through hard times it DOES get better. Don't ever give up!

Day 7: Someone who has made your life worth living for.

My parents. I think I have the best parents in the world who love me and support me unconditionally and this is the reason they have made my life worth living for. Even when I'm going through hard time I just think of my parents and I know that no matter what they will always support and love me.

30 day challenge: About me, day 6

Day 6: Something you hope you never have to do.

I hope I'll never have to cope with the death of my loved ones. For me, even the thought of someone close to me dying scares me and I hope I will never have to cope with that.

30 day challenge: About me, day 5

Day 5: Something you hope to do in your life.

I hope that I will be able to travel around the world and see all the wonderful things and cultures there is to see. I also hope I will be able to help other people. I have wanted to go to Africa for the longest time and volunteer there and just help people there. I would also like to help homeless people and animals. I think there is way too much bad things happening on this world and people and animals deserve a better life.

30 day challenge: About me, day 4

Day 4: Something you have to forgive someone for.

I had this one friend and we've kown each other since forever. In sophomore year of high school, she started hanging out with certain people and she changed a lot. I thought we were really good friends but she kind of choose them instead of me which hurt a lot. I have to forgive her for that because I don't wanna live my life with grudges.

30 day challenge: About me, day 3

Day 3: Something you have to forgive yourself for.

Not being perfect. Nowadays, media is constantly telling us how we should act, fell, look and it can have a bad impact especially on young girls. I have to remind myself that noone is perfect and I can't be either. We all have flaws and things we wish we could change about ourselves but this flaws make us unique and different from each other. Just imagine how it would be if we would all be perfect in this world. In my opinion it would be quite boring so embrace who you are because you only have one chance in life. Life is way too short so don't waste it living someone elses dream.

30 day challenge: About me, day 1

Day 1: Something you hate about yourself.

I actually dislike few things about myself but I'm going to list the one thing that I dislike about myself and I can't actually change it. One thing that I hate about myself and I can't change it is my temper. I get annoyed very quickly and I raise my voice very quickly. I've tried to overcome this throughout the years but it's very hard to change your character. Hopefully one day I will be able to control my temper better than I do now.
