My shortened version,
"You create your own problems"
One of my well-worn (and most hated) life mantras.
My shortened version, "You create your own problems"

I tend to watch videos on YouTube a lot, and my favorite channel without question is Jubilee Project. The purpose of this channel is spread awareness of different types of illnesses and disabilities. In this video, a guy is trying to talk to a girl he thinks is cute, but she won't talk to him and so he decides to use a different approach in talking to her. At the end of the video he learns of the reason why she wouldn't talk to him. While watching this video, I was thinking about how similar this is to children. If they want something, they most likely will not give up until they get it. That isn't the only thing that is similar though. Children tend to be more accepting than people who are older than them. They see the world through a more innocent standpoint, and because of this do not discriminate others because of one little thing that makes them different from everyone else. -Post by Kathleen
If you haven't guessed it yet, my favorite color is orange. I'm not sure when this started because unlike most kids I never really had a favorite color. I went through various colors before I realized that this particular color really stands out to me. I can't understand it. I love this color and yet it seems so utterly flamboyant and loud. Sometimes this color is beautiful when I find it in random moments in life, like a sunset or orange M&Ms. Sometimes it distracting. Who wears a bright verging on neon matching sweatshirt/pants set out in public? Other times I ignore it completely and pick some other color over it. But consistently I've discovered that this color makes me feel happy. Its reliable. Other colors can only make me happy for a while or in that moment but whenever I see orange it automatically lifts my spirits no matter what I'm feeling.
Some crash-course color psychology, apparently if one prefers the color orange one is outgoing, warm, optimistic, impatient, easy-going with life problems and is a risk-taker. There are lots more. What I thought was hilarious was that there are certain attributes which suggest why one would hate the color orange. I found that I could relate to almost all of these, more so than those on my last list. If I hate hate orange with all my heart:
~ Tina I think something needs to be said about the show, The Legend of Korra, which if you don't know, is the sequel series to the amazing Avatar The Last Airbender (not the one with the blue people). If I had to choose one animated kids show as proof that children's television hasn't gone down the wastebasket, I would without a doubt choose The Legend of Korra; its amazing art style and applicable themes make it a must watch for the whole family.
