Love is rough.
People can hurt you, without you knowing, when you think you're in love. People can control you, and manipulate you, when you think you're in love. People can be true, they could be 'perfect', but perfect isn't always what you want. Being in love is having to feel as if you're not tied down. Like, now that you're in love, you are free. Now that you've found someone that will listen and care for you, no matter what, you're happy. Or could you just be oblivious of his/her actions and ideas? You may think that you're in love, but love takes two people. They may not even love you, back. Love is rough. Shit happens and if you're not happy with your relationship, it's time for a change. Love will have tears, laughs, and hugs; but most importantly it will have happiness and memories, that can't be replaced. There will be multiple dates and people. There will be multiple tears, yelling, and saying stuff you never meant. There will be heartbreaking, sadness, and a lot of ice cream. But it was worth it, because, most likely, you will find love, one day.
You will be loved.

HEALTHY vs. SKINNY
Sitting over a trash can, sticking my finger in my mouth. Trying to be skinny. Trying to look like a model. Why? Because the world wants skinny girls and boys. Hold on. Let's back that up. Most models starve there selves, and anorexic. Wouldn't you rather be HEALTHY? Than SKINNY? Healthy is eating nutritious food and exercising daily. Skinny is starving yourself and over exercising. Healthy is being able to control your body more, and being happy. Skinny is getting lightheaded every time you stand up, and having health issues. Healthy is being able to give birth to a healthy child. Skinny is NOT being able to give birth to a healthy child. Your body is your body, if you're not healthy, change your habits. That's life, and if someone doesn't like you for your body - who cares? If you're happy with how you look, that's all that matters.
Choose the healthy lifestyle.

Who are We?
I'm finally back! I really hope you guys didn't miss me too much, because I know I missed you! But, anyways, my life has changed a lot - but it was for the better. I'm really happy now, and I love my life. I may be a little rusty at writing, but ignore my grammatical mistakes and awkward sentances. So, anyways, please continue reading my real post…
Who are you?
Not your name, or your family, or your friends. Who are you? What do you like? Music? TV shows? Movies? Hobbies?
On Blogger we all have a 'About Me' page, but is that who we really are? I'm going to tell you who I am, and (if you'd like to) leave a comment telling me who you are.
Who am I? When I get asked this I'm not really sure how to respond. But, today, I will. Who am I? I am Catie. A girl that will sit in her room for hours writing about nonsense. I am smart. I will study for hours, but will occasionally procrastinate. I am beautiful. I hate myself, sometimes, but I wouldn't wish to be anyone else. I am funny (or so I think I am). I will make some hilarious jokes, and will make you laugh for hours. I love horror movies and shows. I could watch the TV for hours watching horror films. My current favorites are : The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, Scream the TV Series, The Conjuring, The Lazarus Effect, and so many more. I love to read. I am an avid reader of horror and suspense. Some favorites are Fangirl, Fire Starter, The Lockdown Series, The Abundance of Katherine's, and too many to list. I am a lover of music. I will listen to my playlist all day, and it never gets old. Please check out my 'Music Favorites' post to find out my favorites! I get lonely. I don't have many friends, but I'm happy with who I do have in my life. I'm happy. I love who I am, and I love what I look like. I'm happy that I am who I am, and if you don't like who I am - well, I don't care. This is who I am.

I'll Be Back
I'm going to take a small break from writing for a little bit, but I promise I'll be back within a week or so. There's a lot going on, right now, and I need to focus on that.
Now, imagine me in terminator voice saying : "I'LL BE BACK!"

Awake with Ideas
I close my eyes, hoping to drift away to an alternate reality. Lying down, hoping to be carried away on a cloud.
But, my mind is too awake. I'm tired, I'm beaten down. But, I can't hide from these thoughts. The thoughts that make me wonder about everything. Like: am I supposed to be here? Or: will nature one day be inexistent? I'm scared because I don't know the answers to those questions. I'm scared because it's 2 a.m. and, for some reason, I'm still awake. I'm thriving with ideas and questions that won't happen until daybreak. Nothing good happens after 2 a.m. Speaking of, while I was on a deep Internet search I found a poem, which I want to share with you:
2:36 am
2 am is for the poets who
can’t sleep because their
minds are alive with words
for someone who’s not there.
For the alcoholics drinking
themselves into amnesia to
forget some who left.
2am is not for the lovers
asleep in each other’s arms.
It is for the lonely, the ones
who are in love with the
loved but are not loved in
return.
- L.S.
I like this poem because it's for the lonely. The ones that never get noticed, but notice everything and everyone. The lonely will thrive at night, because they will have the best ideas.
3 a.m. - time to dream.

Words CAN Hurt
Labels.
We all get labeled in life, whether it's high school drama or a stereotype. People take being labeled different ways. Some people feel insulted or hurt. Some people feel proud or happy. It all depends on what you were labeled. Sometimes you get labeled because your appearance. People believe that if you're dressed in all black you're a cutter and listen to heavy metal. People believe that if you're dressed in high-end clothes you're spoiled and don't respect lower class. Sometimes you get labeled because your color. People believe that if you're black your hair is fake and you're going to rob a store. People believe that if you're white you listen to country and you're a redneck. People believe that if you're Asian you are from China and you automatically know another language. Sometimes you get labeled for what you like. People believe that if you like heavy metal you are hardcore and will break the rules. People believe that if you're a guy and wear pink, you're gay. Will that get in the way of your happiness? You have this privilege of saying what you want. If you are feeling like shit and you hate these labels you were given, confront the person. My whole life I let people walk over me, label me because I was different. I never stood up for myself, until now. And it feels great. Words can hurt people, and if you are hurt, don't you ever back down. Put up your guard and light them up. These labels are nothing more than words. Words that mean nothing if you don't want them to. You are in control of your life, and if you change yourself to get a better label, you fell into the trap. There's no label that is good. Don't be a labeler and fight against them.
Words will never hurt you.

Music Favorites: Part Two
Hello again, world. I welcome you back into my world of music. Take a seat, any seat. But don't actually 'take' it, that's rude. Anyways, this will be a long ride. So…let's begin.
[This is in no specific order]
First, we have the X Ambassadors. Now, they hit the charts with a song called "Renegades," but have you ever heard their other songs? Their album, "VHS," has many great songs for many moods. There's "Unsteady" if you're feeling a little unsteady. There's "Jungle" if you feel like a rebellious badass. And many more. I'm really happy that I found them.
Now, we have Fall Out Boy. I've loved these guys since I began to speak (I'm lying, but just go with it.) Patrick is my little teddy bear (the awkwardness continues.) But other than that, they're music is Alternative Rock. I'm pretty sure you've heard of them, because they're popular. My favorite songs are "Dance, Dance" and "Twin Skeletons."
Next is AWOLNATION. They haven't made a song in three years, but their old songs are to die for. You may recognize them from the song "SAIL." But, that's not the only song that's great, there's more. "Kill Your Heroes" and "Jump on my Shoulders" are two of my favorites. They definitely have the whole alternative rock thing owned. You should definitely check them out.
Now we have, the adorable, Bastille. He's been coming out with a lot of good songs, lately. You may have heard him, over a year ago, with the song "Pompeii." But, he has other great songs like "Good Grief" and "Bad Blood." He definitely has somewhat of a more pop sound, but I still classify him as alternative or indie rock.
Green Day just recently released a song and announced they're going to have a new album. I'm beyond excited, because they haven't made a new album in forever.
The song "Riptide" came out awhile ago, and I never knew Vance Joy had other music! "Mess is Mine" is a great song, and it never gets old. I'm really glad I finally am listening to Vance Joy.
Magic Man is a music group that is highly underrated. I first found them by googling my name (just admit it, we all do it), and a song called "Catherine" popped up. I clicked on it and immediately fell in love. They had more songs and I listened to all of them. "Catherine" and "Paris" are my absolute favorite.
I used to watch a show on MTV called "Finding Carter" (until they rudely cancelled it), but on that show they would always link music artists on their website. A song called "Electric Love" by BØRNS was playing and I was so intrigued. I began listening to them, and they went viral (sadly). They gained a lot of fans with the song "Electric Love," but there's more. "1,000 Emerald Pools" and "Past Lives" are really good.
Linkin Park has been around for over nine years, and they recently started making music, again. They're somewhat of a popular band, and have a alternative rock and rock sound. "Points of Authority" and "In the End" are some of my favorites.
Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness has such a unique sound. They recently made a song for a Disney movie, and their fan base sky rocketed. I started listening to him awhile ago, on iTunes Radio. "High Dive" and "Cecila and the Satellite" are my favorites.
Imagine Dragons have definitely changed a lot this year. Their sound has changed, but I love it. I've been listening to them for over three years, and I have to say I love the songs "Demons" and "Friction."
That's all, for now. Leave me some music suggestions down below, and don't forget to tell me some of your favorite songs. Have a great day and stay beautiful!
