Being a parent

Being a parent is more than just taking care of your child and cleaning up their messes. It's more than cooking and playing taxi. It's about spending quality time with your child. It isn't about the quantity of time you spend with them. You could be around them all day and not do a thing with them. It is about doing what they want and not always what you want. It is about that extra bedtime story, that one more show even if that show drives you completely out of your mind, sitting down and eating dinner with them, and much more. It's about helping them with homework and getting them the help they need if you can't help them. It is about listening to your child. Sometimes we get so busy we forget to listen. Sometimes you have to put housework to the side and watch a movie or play a game with them. Sometimes you have to turn your phone off and spend time with them. It is about teaching them to make good decisions even when they see us make bad ones. It is teaching them to be responsible and take responsibility for his/ her own actions. It is about giving them choices so they can make choices rather than us do everything for them. One of the biggest things is loving them and showing them how much you love and care about them. When they make mistakes letting them know it is okay but that they don't have to repeat it over and over again. It is telling them it isn't their fault when people walk out of our lives or theirs. It's about building the child up so they can grow into happy people. Giving them hugs and kisses because they need that to see that they are loved and accepted. It is about being their for your child no matter what they do in their life and loving them unconditionally.

Stop giving the negative people attention

 Stop giving the negative people of the world so much attention.  Stop making negative people so famous for negative stuff. It's disgusting that the people who are doing horrible things are being given that attention. We as people see it in people's real lives and social media. Social media is where we need to start drawing the line. If we would take that attention away and ignored the bad behavior maybe just maybe they would see that it isn't good. People have turned negative into this is a social normal. It is not a social normal. Stop feeding the negative and toxic behavior. Stop saying it's normal.  I'd like to see more of you sharing people who are trying to succeed in life, build each other up, helping one another with small business or businesses, spreading love and light, helping people who are less fortunate, listening to others, being there for people who have depression, anxiety, PTSD,and much more.  So many could be successful if everyone supports everyo

Cursed House

  It's a dark stormy night this Halloween night. The clouds  are ominous.  You can feel the energy from the storm. 5 friends and me are staying in an abandoned house deep in the Bayou of Louisiana.  I had picked the place. My friends and I love spooky things. This year we are hoping for a good scare because last year we went to a cemetary and it was just a bunch of teenagers messing with us. We get to the abandoned house before it starts storming.  There is a fireplace in the living room and we light a fire to stay warm and cozy.  "Ari what is the plan?" my boyfriend asks. "I thought we would eat and check the house out after." My friends and I make sandwiches. We eat in the living room. While we are eating we hear kids laughing. We get up to see where it is coming from and find nothing.  It is  a big house you can get lost in because the house is made like a maze. "This house is strange," Joe says. "Did you know  it was made like a maze?&quo
