Emily's Shoe Picks

Click on any of the pictures if your interested.
Before I go on I'm going to disclaim this. Some of these shoes are ads but I'm not putting up any shoes that I wouldn't buy myself. These shoes are my taste, if you don't like them then don't buy them, simple as that.
Now for the shoes I like:
            Note that these shoes are all on my wishlist or in my closet. I don't indors things I don't like or agree with. If I wouldn't buy it myself then I wouldn't post good reviews about it or lie and say I like it.

Mission Statement and Traveling

My Mission Statement

I don't want to live a life that's just like everyone else's. I do not want to be stuck in the same place working the same boring job that I don't enjoy for just a little pay. I want to live.
For this year I have a responsiblity to my exchange sisters so I will be staying in Utah. But in order to make this more fun and not the boring day to day life, I will be recording different things in Utah that visitors (or even natives that don't know of these places) can enjoy while here.
Then next june I will be leaving to Ohio for a little bit. I will do the same there and video tape some fun things that people can do. But I don't plan on staying there for too long.
I will be earning and saving money so that i can travel all over. I may even go to Austraila and visit Sonne. :) I will video tape different things about the culture, country, people and show you many different things that you can do. I will give you tutorials on things you would need to know if you went to that country and answer questions you may have. If you want to know a particular something or with to see me do a particular something you can ask me and (as long as it is not vulgar or will get me locked in jail) I will do my best to do those things for you.

       If you wish to help me out then I will be putting a donate button on this blog soon and I will make sure if you help that your answers get answered sooner. But it's alright if you don't wish to help me or can't.

Besides, this blog is called Unsimplistic Dreaming. So why keep it simple ;)

Protesting

Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against peaceful protesting. Many times it works out and you get what you need out of it.
However, many people use it as an excuse to be lazy. They decide that protesting is all they need to do to get what they want.
That's not true. To get what you want or need your going to have to get off your lazy butt and do something about it. If your protesting cutting down trees (for example) then do more then just protest it. Plant extra trees around your neighborhood (with permission where needed), get a petition started, find out the facts.
And most of all; THINK! Why does protesting always have to end up in violence. All your doing then is showing the world that you don't really care for the topic, you just want to break stuff. In the end your only hurting yourself.
If you really care for something, then do something about it. And don't participate in stuff that could potentially hurt yourself, others or your topic.

Get Over Yourself

Do you need to get over yourself?

Many of us ar in denail that we have a bad attitude that we need to get over.
No matter what you think about yourself, good or bad, I would like you to click the above link and read through it. You may be surprized by what you find out.

Turn Your Life Around!

Just to Start
You want to turn your life around and make it better, correct?
Of course you do. Otherwise you wouldn't be here.
Well, let's start with the first thing you need to do this.
Your brain.
Yes, you read that right. Your brain is the first step to having a better life.
If you can't see the good in things or choose for yourself to enjoy things then you wont.
It's true that you can trick your brain into things.
Now obviously you can't trick your brain into letting you fly or anything like that. You must be realistic when changing your life. Crazy things aren't just going to start happening right before your eyes. Sometimes your going to have to push through the mess.
This is why your brain is so important. If you can't push through all the chaos that our world has to offer then how to you expect to enjoy life? Everything/one is going to try and knock you off your feet, and although this sounds very cliche, you must always get back up.

So! Here is a little dare:
I dare you to get up every morning like you normally do, except this time your going to look in the mirror and convince yourself that the day will be good. But don't stop there. Throughout the day you can't let yourself become disheartened. No matter what happens, think; it could always be worse.
Now get going and feel free to tell me how it's working out for you or if you have any other suggestions or comments.

Paper Thin

So I met this girl today who is recovering from anorexia. The problem is that people are being so rude to her because she ever developed the disorder. They treat her as though she's a horrible person just because she fell into some bad stuff with food. The sad part is they turn to me and congratulate me on my body yet mine's not healthy either! I still struggle with anorexia too.
I suggest if you hear or meet anyone struggling with anorexia (or any other eating disorder) be a little more sympathetic and encourage them. Many people will quit trying to recover if it seems no one is on their side. If you haven't gone through it yourself you can't possibly understand how hard this is for us. Please, just congratulate them on trying. Who knows, you might be the one to spark a hardcore change in them.
I'll end this short post/rant by saying that thankfully this new friend of mine is still trying. She's ignoring all the bigots and doing her best to gain a healthy relationship with food. If you want to say anything to her you can post it here and I'll make sure she sees it.

For those of you who are going through your own eating disorder of any kind, stay strong and just remember that healthy is better and happier.
