""It's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything... but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life." -American Beauty

Beacon
I'm Kayla. I'm not some "preppy teenager". I'm not some "emo" or "goth" kid. I'm not some "gangsta" or "nerd", I'm Kayla. I am myself and no one or nothing can change that. God knows who I really am annd he loves me for it. We need to stop being so consumed with "popularity" and other peoples' opinions and just be ourselves. Honestly, how are we showing God's love for us, if we aren't being ourselves? How are we portraying God's love and grace by making fun of people,drinking,smoking,cursing,sleeping with everyone? We aren't!!!!! Us, teenagers, are the next generation! We need to SHOW GOD'S LOVE! I know that I'm going to be a beacon of light. Maybe there would be less heartbreaks, less suicides, less divorces, breakups, and abortions if we show God's love. God never guranteed us a "perfect world" so let's get that out of our minds, but he did promise shelter in the storm. And when thousands of people are in that storm, I'm going to be the beacon that helps them to shelter.
