Peer Pressure

05:01 Unknown 0 Comments

Hey Guys. Its your boy Prince Wale. I am very very very very very sorry. I am so sorry to the extent that my name was used to replace sorry in the dictionary.
I know you guys would have missed me a lot. Its been very hectic from my side. You know being in the last class of Secndry Skool and all. Yup tha Prince Z in Ss3333333. Woah.
But the problems that come with being in this place is just too hectic from having to go to all this parties,all the work,all the "You better face your studies now that you are in Ss3"s. So I have a really busy schedule and to top all that off,we still have to be in control of a whole secondary school and still participate actively in all extracurricular activities. It has
not been a joyride. So I hope you guys forgive me for staying away for so long but I am back now,so please just accept this little token.
Today,I just wanna brush through the tiny little part of your life called peer pressure. Yep,today I want to discuss how peer pressure shapes your life. If you are a really confident person,you might believe that peer pressure is nothing. But out there, there are people who do not,cannot stand up for themselves. Getting bullied being pushed to do things you don't wanna do, it is all a very fundamental part of growing up.
So to all you kids out there who just want to belong,you see your friends doing things that you know isn't right but you have this urging to go along,please don't o. I have seen the problems that can come from just drifting along firsthand and it is not a pretty scenario. So this is just an encouragement for all of you out there who are going through this problems. Now they might seem unbearable and you might just wanna end it but I am begging you, just endure for just a little while longer. Pray to God for guidance ad help. They always say the darkest part of the night is just before the dawn,so don't focus on what you are going through now but on the reward you are going to get when you come out of it. At the end of the day, all those who you were trying to imitate would now respect you in the future because of your stand to maintain that you would
not take part in those things. That's all for now. Peace out......

The Journey of Feeling

05:17 Unknown 0 Comments

One of my favorite things to do in the world is to read but then even that hasn't always been smooth sailing. Reading has always made me feel, sometimes even a little too much. I feel the pain of the characters, their hurt, every stab of their delicate heart. That is something a good writer does to you. He draws you in until you are neck deep in it and you can't help it.  I have always believed that a book was not just about the beginning or the end but rather it's all about the journey. The excitement, the dash of hopes, the hopeless struggle, the exhilarating victories; they're all part of the journey.
 
 About a year or so ago, I lost my flair for reading, nothing seemed to interest me, I was just drifting and every book lost its sparkle. And I started wondering why and a few months ago I finally discovered why. It was because something happened in my life back then that shocked me so much I wanted to stop feeling, to stop the tears, the pain, the hurt and heartbreak I was going to get from reading. Books are rarely without those because that is just how life is, it is full of ups and downs, victories and defeats, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and books are just a representation of that. 
  
But I also realized that it's not just the heartbreaks that make a book, it's also about the excitement and joy that come from the victories, from knowing it all turned out well. There is no good without bad and the pain that comes from falling gives us the strength to stand up again. It's a journey and it's one we all take day in day out. So yes I started reading again for the same reason I stopped... To feel again!  
    
I hope you never go through so much pain that you don't want to feel  and that even if you have gone through such pain, I hope you have the courage to feel again just like I did.
                                                                                                                           Till next time...it's 
                                                                                                                                                  Paxxy.

Counting My Blessings

14:15 Unknown 0 Comments

A long time ago I used to be that girl... The one who didn't smile, who didn't see anything good in anything or anyone; the critical one. But somewhere along the line things changed, not things that happened per se but my perspective about life changed. I started to count my blessings.

 I never had a perfect family but hey who does? I never had that many friends so I could hardly share my fears with them. I wasn't particularly close to any aunt or uncle. I just kept holding it all in. I complained about everything, I took my anger out on my family, almost hated them even.

 Then, a chance encounter changed it, I don't really know when or how but I know I changed. Maybe it started with my almost at the brink of death illness or my friendship with someone special or just
my growing up but I changed. I started finding joy in the little things. I got real excited and I didn't allow anyone to bring me down. I got excited about guests coming over, a new movie I just saw, a friendly face, my cousins coming over. It did not matter what it was I was happy. I gave everyone a smile even when I wasn't feeling like it. I realized that when I was down what I really needed was an uplifting smile and a listening ear so I tried to be that.
 Mostly, my circumstances haven't changed, I still don't have a perfect life, perfect family or perfect friends; I still get scared once in a while but I am in a different space now because I have learnt to count my blessings. I realize some other people don't have a family not to talk of a perfect one and some people don't even have someone who wants to listen to them but most importantly some people don't have the joy of having the greatest personage in the universe, Jehovah, as a best friend.
 
So yes keep counting your blessings lovelies.
                                                                                                            Till next time... It's 
                                                                                                                                        Paxxy.

A tribute

14:13 Unknown 0 Comments

So my favorite show in the whole wide world, Rookie Blue, got canceled this year after six amazing seasons. It feels like just yesterday when my younger brother and I stumbled on it while we were Surfing channels.
Rookie Blue has been here through everything; from my first day in a new school to my first friend to my lonely first year in senior school and the graduation... It's been here through everything!   I have shared the joys, pain, fears and heartbreaks of these amazing rookies and their training officers. They have become my family.
Rookie Blue is a story of 5 cops who just got out of the academy and everything they had to learn on the job even though it was pretty difficult to do that with guns but they did it. It was fun watching them grow. I fell in love with every single one of them and 6 years, 2 weddings (yay!), a baby, an upcoming wedding after, I still am. So here is my take on all my favorite characters from the show that kept me together even when everything was falling apart. Here's the rookies and their training officers:

  Andy McNally- Andy is your classic girl; enthusiastic, good natured, fun and unwaveringly optimistic. She's the main character and I loved watching her grow through the years

  Dov Epstein- He is amazingly smart and fast. He'll make such a good detective. Yes, he made some mistakes but he always comes back on top

  Tracy Nash- she is loyal, practical and a hell of a good detective. Her relationship with her son always brings smiles to my face. She's your go to girl for great advice.

 Chris Diaz- Chris is probably the one with the most unresolved issues by the end of the show. I got so mad when he got into drugs and messed up but at least he got over that. I like to think of Chris as the practical, down to earth  rule following rookie and so kind hearted. I will always see him that way.

 Gail Peck- She is what I like to call the old aristocrat. She comes from a long line of cops and she is one tough lady. She is determined, focused and surprisingly kind hearted. Yes she had a lot of growing to do which was heartbreaking most times but she is still a winner (always). 

 Nick Collins- Nick is perfect.. Straight out of the army, sweet, nice and handsome. He is also one of the only rookies who is there without being there. His last relationship with Juliet was fun to watch.

Chloe Price- I fell in love with Chloe from the first day I met her. She is funny, sweet and unrepentantly open. Her interesting dynamics with everyone and her positive energy never fails to brighten my day. Although she wasn't originally part of the rookies she wormed her way into my heart.

Duncan Moore- This stupidly annoying rookie made me love him. By the end of the season, he was a part of the family and I can't believe I will miss him.

 Marlo Cruz- Marlo is the Other woman and as much as I would have loved to hate her I just couldn't. Her strength of will and resilience definitely won me over but that is all you are getting from me, Marlo.

Oliver Shaw- Oliver is my favorite training officer ( TO). He is funny, smart and such a great father figure to all the rookies. He always kept it together and he gives great advice. Thank you for everything Oliver.

Sam Swarek- Sam is tough, smart and a rule breaker. His bad guy good guy personality got to me. He is probably one of the only characters I am truly in love with.

Noelle Williams- I love snarky, smart and kick ass Noelle. She thought the rookies to be tough yet kind.

Luke Callahan- The annoying detective who broke Andy's heart, we forgive you anyways.

 Jerry Barber- Tracy's fallen hero and my personal favorite detective. We miss you, Jerry.

 Frank Best- Who doesn't miss our tough but always loving staff sergeant? I certainly do.
   
 So yes, thank you all for 6 amazing seasons and the best 6 years. The lessons will stay with me forever and so will you all. I will never forget my loving RB family. Love you all!
 If you haven't seen Rookie Blue yet, what are you waiting for? It's the best in town.
                                                                                                              Till next time... It's
                                                                                                                                          Paxxy.

Welcome!

Hey there! My name is Paxton (which is not necessarily my real name). I decided a few years ago that I really liked the name Paxton because it means Peace. But then enough about my name, let me tell you about me. I am a voracious reader and writer (very lazy writer); you can check my work out on WattPad if you are interested. I love to talk and I am a crazy but fun person.
   I started this blog a few years ago because I wanted to write but as I went over some of my old posts, I discovered they were a little different from my writing now. So I wanted to start a blog where I could express myself and vent ( we all need that sometimes right?) and I remembered I created this a few years back. So basically, I am going to talk about what bothers me, the stuff we all go through as teenagers. The stuff we sometimes can't tell our parents or friends about ( it happens). I am going to talk about my struggles, my fears, my concerns, my dreams and anything that goes on in my head. What being a teenager is really all about.
  Feel free to comment, to vent too and if it's really good, I might post it. I just want to create a platform where we ( all teenagers, including me) can be true to ouselves. Being a teenager is not a curse, it is a blessing and fun times come out of it. We are teens, we are happening, tingling. We are Tingling teens.
                                                                                                       Till next time... It's 
                                                                                                                                   Paxxy.
