WhoInTheWorldIsMaddi?

helloworld;
My name is
MaddisonJune, but to friends I'm known as Maddi.
I thought before writing more blogs I should write an introduction incase anyone ever stumbles across my page.
Why do I blog? I don't really know,
I mean I would be surprised if someone actually read my blogs.
I guess I like keeping record of my thoughts whether it be in a journal, diary or online blog. At times when I'm feeling sentimental i find it's interesting looking back at things I've written about - emotions, events etcetera.

Lately, I've noticed that I've been asked
my hobbies or what I like doing fairly often. It comes up daily - in everyday conversation, over the internet and just in general.
No one can sum themself up in a box! I swear I will spend hours typing and backspacing in those boxes. Us humanbeings are complex things.
I am envious of people who find it easy writing a description of themself. They know their hobbies and things they like, where they're headed and what they want in the future.

I'm not athletic nor a straight A's student. I don't know where I'll be when I've finished school, let alone what I'm even going to do tomorrow. I once had hopes and dreams and still do - but most of them have been left behind or locked in a box. Alot of the time because I let myself believe it's unachievable or I'm not good enough.

Once I wanted to be a teacher. But in Grade 1, my teacher was horrible and out to get me.
Once I wanted to be a ballerina. I went to ballet lessons, but then I got transferred to a class with girls that weren't very nice.
Once I wanted to be a Dolphin Trainer. But as time moved on I forgot about it.
At times I've wanted to be a wildlife conservationist, singer/ songwriter, even a Preacher.
But these are dreams that are too large for me to believe could come true. So they've been kept in a box - Only rarely I dare to hold onto them.

What about you? What are your dreams?
Do you believe they are reachable?
Or have you already achieved them?

A Tiny Spec

I'm just a tiny spec on the face of the Earth. Some people say they want to change the world; if I change the world of just one person then I have accomplished something worth more than gold.

There are many times in life that I feel insignificant or inferior. Some days I feel like I don't make a difference, other days I'd swear the world was conspiring against me. Am I alone on that?
I think it's safe to say you've felt like this on the odd day atleast. Maybe it's something you wake up to everyday.
But I've decided that I'm going to believe
I can make a change,
I can achieve my biggest dreams and
I will refuse to think small.

I once heard this quote and decided to hold onto it:
"To the world you are just one person.
But to one person you may be the world."

Smile at someone - tell them they look nice.
It might feel like it's nothing,
But I know when I've had a crappy day,
it can move me when someone takes their time to smile or sit down and ask how I'm doing.
