If need be, I will marry myself. What the heck?

I feel badly saying this, but ugh! I have to write again? You know, some days I'm totally in the mood to write, and I have an idea in mind, and I feel confident that whatever writing I produce will somehow make a little-to-moderate amount of sense, but today is not one of those days. Today is one of the "how did I convince myself to even get out of bed and put on clothes?" days. The last thing I want to do right now is use my brain for any purpose other than hibernation. (I think it's because of the summer-to-fall-transition we're in) But, alas, I haven't posted in a bit and the time has come.

Okay. Frustration out of the way, this was one of the best gifs I've ever seen. I don't know where it came from but these kids are creative! I laughed like the whole five seconds of it ;)

Aaaaand to get back on track, I'm going to do a list. I don't have a super long time to write tonight so I have to do something that's a little quicker and easier to throw out than an entire thought-out topic or whatever. And the list is:

Things to do and NOT to do when you like someone

Yes, I know what you're thinking. These are taken (mostly) from personal experience. Good and bad.

1. Do, evaluate their lifestyle. Yes, that could very well mean stalk them on various social media sites. I don't think you really want to-as my dad would say-have a fancy for someone who participates in things that you think are wrong, who makes choices carelessly and thoughtlessly, or who doesn't treat people in his or her life with respect. 
   
   
2. Don't, tell all of your friends that you like the person. Okay this one absolutely comes from personal experience. Let's face it people, friends sometimes talk. Ya know what I mean...the whole- "She just told me this and told me not to tell anyone so don't tell anyone else." And then those people all tell like nine other people and one of them happens to be the person you like. Just avoid that whole thing. Unless they pinky promise...cuz y'all can't ever break one of those. 
3. Do, keep your thoughts in line. No, no, no, not like what you're all thinking. Well that yes, but like don't let them consume all of your time. Don't spend every second imagining what you're going to wear the next time you see them, imagining texts that they didn't actually send you, and creating stories about them in your head. How incredibly creepy does that sound when I write it all down? But, *sigh* we're pretty much all guilty of doing that whether we want to admit it or not. (Okay really, please someone admit it so I know i'm not the only person in the entire world who has done this. It is creepy.)
4. Don't, text them every second. I take this from personal experience too...It can get pretty dang annoying. I have been on both ends of this I have to admit. And when I think back on all the stupid things that I sent people when I wasn't really thinking about it, but just wanted an excuse to talk to them, I realize that I am a complete idiot. And I will only admit that because most of you are already thinking it. (I HOPE NOT. JEEZ PEOPLE ARE YOU HEARTLESS?)

   

   seriously, I send things and the second after I'm like "NOOOOO COME BACK TO ME!!!"

5. Don't, forget who's you are. My mom says this to me almost every time I leave the house, and her mom said it to her when she was a kid. "remember who's you are." I really like that. I know how incredibly hard it is to remember at all times that you're God's precious child, because it's all too easy to get caught up in, well, life stuff. Like crushes. And let me tell you, it's really not worth it to invest yourself in someone when they may or may not even ever like you back. I mean, even if they do they might not be the Prince Charming (or Princess?? guys??) that God has in mind for you. So heck people, let God do the work and don't fawn over people every second of the day. 
6. Do, Pray about it. Okay I know, I'm getting  all spiritual and you're like "I just thought they were cute, that's all. Stop preaching to me. We aren't getting married. (yet ^.^)"  But I will still say it...just pray about it. 'nuff said.
7. Lastly, Do, keep your options open. I mean there's always this...

 Just kidding. That would be stupid. ...Or would it? DUH YES IT WOULD WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? 

I just realized that I've used a heck of a lot of CAPS this post. I guess I feel like somehow it gets my point across better? I have no idea. I have no idea about a lot of things. I actually just realized another thing: I put myself (and my writing) down a lot. Like every post, a lot. I never have confidence in myself. Maybe I should work on that. I think I do that in real life too though, so it might be hard. Ughh. OKAY CHARLOTTE PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER HERE.

Thank you and goodnight fair people.

XO Charlotte

  By the way, whatever I write, you don't have to agree with it or believe it, but just don't question it. Haha I won't have any answers for you (probably) so just don't even waste time trying to question my thinking or logic. K that's all. Goodnight.
