"I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: Try to please everybody all the time."
��Herbert Bayard Swope

I get these inspirational quotes daily and each day, I like to contemplate and try to grasp it into my every day life. I don't know, I just like the motivation. (: I mean we can all use it, where's the harm in that.

But this one got me thinking about my past in general. I used to be so caught up into trying to make other people happy, that I've forgotten about myself. That everyone in my life comes before me because when I focus on them, it's like I have no other problems to worry about. And for that quick moment, I'm just free. But in the end, where does that put me? Back into the corner all alone.. back to what I have to face.

But anyways, I'm getting off track. I've always known, "you can't make everyone happy." You're always going to upset one in the end, but hey if you can make everyone happy then so be it. I'm just so tired of trying to be on everyones good side. Who cares anymore?! I don't. Be mad at me, talk shit about me, I don't care. I've given up the whole trying to be friends with everyone. It ends up stressing you out when you really shouldn't be. The only people that matter are the people I have in my life, so everyone else can just shove off. I've wasted enough of my time trying to be on the good side of people who don't even matter in the first place. I'm over it and to be honest it feels GREAT. I'm never taking anyones bullshit anymore. Good riddance. (:

I spent my Labor Day at home cleaning my room and doing laundry. Oh, fun times. In between laundry I happened to go through my Deadjournal which I had since 2002. It's just funny reading my old entries. I managed to look at some of the surveys I used to fill out back in the day. I haven't changed as much as I thought, but at the same time I feel much wiser now. I got a call from work asking me to go in, but I was napping so I obviously wasn't up for it.

So I forgot to mention that school has started. I enrolled in a Hiking class which is every Saturday. I'm pretty excited for it. (: We had our first hike at Arroyo Verde in Ventura and I almost suffered from heat exhaustion. Thank goodness we had little breaks waiting for a few people to catch up. At least I wasn't in the back! Hahah. That day I had only gotten an hour and a half of sleep, so I am most definitely NEVER doing that again. Heat exhaustion doesn't feel too nice. ): Anyway, we're doing The Grotto Trail in 2 weeks so I'm pretty stoked just to go out and see all the hiking spots around the area. Not only that, but we have a trip to Yosemite. I'm super excited for that! I think I've found myself a new hobby, I always wanted to get into hiking though.. but my new goal is to do Half Dome. Yup! I most definitely have to get through this semester before I put myself out there. Haha. I'm going to need to condition for that. In all, I just really like my hiking class. Next up, backpacking!!!!.. maybe. (: Hahah.
