the world juniors are coming up in two days. to be honnestly, that's one of the reasons why i love christmas. the day of christmas, you always know what will be on the next day. while some people freak out over boxing day specials, us hockey fans freak out over our young hockey players bringing our countries together for a few days.
in times where love and peace are not always easy to find and where people in countries seem to be separated by race, religion, beliefs and money, the world juniors are a chance for everyone in a country to feel connected. we feel connected because for just a few days, we feel as though we all have something in common, and that's a great feeling!
the boys probably realize what they are doing but to what extent, who knows! do they realize that they make some enemies hug each other, or that they make complete strangers best friends for sixty minutes? what they do is something special. they bring countries closer together and make everyone forget their differences for a while.
the vibe from the arena during games is just completely amazing. i've never been to a WJC game in person but just watching them on tv makes you feel the vibe. the people cheering, everybody wearing their team colours, it's hard to explain how amazing it truly is.
our boys make us so proud, in times of victory and in times of defeat. i can say for myself, and for many out there that we will be proud of all our boys no matter what happens. obviously they have a goal, and we want them to achieve it but if they try their best, that's what counts. that they brought a country together, that's what counts.
before i finish this, i have no choice but to say: GO CANADA GO! good luck to all the countries participating!

Everything Is Going To Be Okay.
everyone has problems. obviously. everybody always wishes for a better life. everybody always complains about their problems. why? i don't know. i guess it's to get them off of their chest.
i complain a lot myself. i hate myself for doing it. why should i complain about my life? i have everything i need. a loving family, a bed to sleep in at night, a house to go back to everyday, friends who care. there's nothing more that i need, but i sit there and complain pretty much everyday. and everybody does it. somedays, a lot of us just want to vanish, in hopes that our problems will just dissapear.
while we sit here complaining and being sad about our life, there are people out there who have cancer, who live out on the street, who don't have a loving family, or caring friends. and you never hear them complain about anything. they are just praying to live another day. they are praying to make it to tomorrow because they see the beauty in life.
i guess it's kinda of funny when you really think about it, the way life works. the people who have it all always want more, while the people who have nothing are just fine with it.
i guess it will never change, because people don't like to change. i hope to change though. i have realized that although i have many problems and a disease, i have it better than most people. i envy those people for being so happy all the time. i hope to start being like them. thanks to all those inspiring people out there who always have a smile on their face and who always give others a smile.
happiness is the key to life. in the end, everything will be okay and everybody will go somewhere in life. you just have to believe.
nobody will read this probably but i don't care, i just wanted to get it off my chest :)
thaanks to those who did read it though. just remember, everything will be okay. <3
