Audrey Hepburn Born 1929- Died 1993
“The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be
happy—it's all that matters.” Audrey Hepburn
This quote has so much meaning. Be happy. That phrase is so
simple, and Audrey makes it sound so easy. It is hard to see the sunshine when
you live in the dark, if you know what I mean. There are many things that I am
not happy about. For example, my parents’ divorce, being left out, and people
talking behind my back. I am unhappy about all the regular teenager insecurities.
But this blog is really for what I am happy about! I am thankful and appreciative
of so many things.
I
am appreciative of my parents. I love my dad and my mom. They are the most
loving parents and they do so much for me. My parents divorced officially in
2006. There have been some speed bumps and crashes with both of them that I
have had, but they still accept me for who I am. I love my father’s humor, stubbornness,
and belief in mythical creatures. I love my mother’s heart, laughter, and nasty
jokes. They both are complete opposite people, but they are the perfect mixture
of sour and sweet.

There
is always one person in your life that was put there for a reason. She came
into my life in sixth grade and has been through all my life drama since, the good and the
bad. We do so much for each other. I think she would not function without me,
and I would not function without her. She is my step- mother. Melicia is this
crazy, wonderful, and spicy woman that is overemotional like me. We can cry at
the drop of a dime, and we really do not care. She brought her daughter into my
life, who I love so much! I appreciate her dedication to student council and
everything that she has done for me.
I
know this one is silly and you might think I am crazy. I love my dog. Sassy
Ruby is the cutest, most lovable dog in the entire world. She makes my bleak
days turn into California in the summertime. As soon as I walk in from school,
she runs up and greets me with her pink tongue hanging out. One day, my dad and
I were fighting over something stupid. I made a comment about how much Sassy
loves me and how much I love her more than my dad.
He said, “Really Auburn?! She’s a
dog!”
I slyly said back, “Well think about
it dad. If I locked you and Sassy up in a trunk for two days, who would be
happier to see me when I let you out?” He did not laugh.
Lastly, I appreciate all the people
who have helped me become who I am today. It has taken me awhile to find my
place in the world. There have been damages that have happened to me, which I
am not proud of. I have been to rock bottom. Luckily, the only way to go is up.
I have reached happiness in my life that I have never felt before and for once,
I am content with who I am. Thank you to Mrs. Caffey for listening to my story.
Thank you to my sister, Gwyneth, for being with me through all the burnt
bridges and sorrow. Thank you for all my ex-friends, who have made me a
stronger person. Thank you to my past loves who showed me that after all the heartbreak;
there is a light at the end of the tunnel. This girl has found happiness.
My version of the quote: “Once you
are happy, nothing else matters. Just live life to the fullest.”
I love Audrey Hepburn! She made an amazing point in this quote. I believe, also, that it is truly the little things in life that make us the most happy. Thinking back to my childhood, I realize that it was the days spent jumping on the trampoline rather than the crazy, expensive trips to Disneyland where I was the most happy. Life is meant to be spent in happiness and if we can find the things that make us the happiest, like you did, we will get much more out of life!
ReplyDeleteAudrey Hepburn seems to have the best quotes! My favorite one of hers is "nothing is impossible, the word itself says I'm possible." The one you shared is just as awesome. Happiness is as simple as it is. Just being happy, the only difficulties are the troubles. The only thing that should matter in life is being happy. Once you are happy you will understand yourself and the world around you better! I guess as your semi-neighbor I have had the joy of seeing a lot of the things that make you happy. Sassy is the one is probably see the most. (that little dog has so much attitude, she just stands and barks at us from across the street, but if we get anywhere near her she runs away!) Happiness is a joy worth sharing!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see a picture or a quote by Audrey, I wish so badly that girls today had role models like her! She is so classy, and for sure one of my favorite Hollywood stars EVER! Your Blog is one of my favorites; I love the beginning and ends with the quote and "your interpretation" of it. And this week was defiantly my favorite by you because you talked about my favorite word. . . HAPPY! Isn't it such a joy to find the good things in life? I think there is always some one who has it worse and it is so important to remember to count your blessing. You are a beautiful girl with many blessings, thank you for sharing them. I think it will inspire many to look at thee good in their life and be happy. Keeping an out look like this, you never know, maybe future girls will be quoting YOU'RE "girly quotes" ;)
ReplyDeleteAww Riah thanks ! (: I try to put a lot of thought into it, and I appreciated your comment!
