#transformationtuesday

Ah yes transformations, everyone goes through them throughout their life. Why not share those transformations with the world? Well you can, with the #transformationtuesday hashtag. What type of transformation should you post? It’s all up to you, before and after are the common choice to create them often people use a photo collage maker apps to break up the photo into two parts so that one side shows the before photo and the other side shows the after photo. New haircut? #transformationtuesday, lost weight? #transformationtuesday, got a makeover? #transformationtuesday, puberty changed you? #transformationtuesday. Want a creative way to break up with someone? #transformationtuesday. No I did not put that last one in by accident, it has been done…

A teenager from Georgia posted two photos to Instagram using the #TransformationTuesday hashtag to break up with his girlfriend,in the first photo he’s seen with his girlfriend and the second he had cropped her out, quite creative if you ask me, she was clearly unaware with the comment “is this your way of breaking up with me”. How are teenage boys going to top this break up?

So next time you want to share your transformation, just add the hashtag and share it with the world, i’m sure everyone will be proud of it or maybe it will result in a breakup. I’ll leave you with a transformation of 5 year old Madison to Madison now #transformationtuesday

Always annoyed

The list of things that annoy me is absolutely endless, every day the list gets longer and longer, from people chewing loudly to being able to hear people breathing, i'm annoyed by everything. Picking one thing that annoys me over all others was difficult but since I just got my G2 and have started frequently driving there's been some things that annoy me while i'm on the road. When people don't signal when turning or changing lanes, WHY NOT. All you have to do is flip a little handle thing up or down to turn the light on and tell people what your intention is, it's really not that hard. Not signaling is like saying oh me and my vehicle are more important and we can do whatever, uh no get off the road. People that take up 2 parking spots or do a horrible parking job and block spaces, no your car doesn't need more room it's the same size as everyone else's and if your car is so precious that it can't have other cars beside it park it FAR FAR away. When people tailgate you, i'll slow down if you do it every single time. If you're in such a big hurry you should have left earlier, no need to ride the back of my car, pass if you want but get away from me. Never will I speed up to satisfy you i'll just keep the same speed or go slower to make you even more mad. When people text while driving annoys me over anything, it's already against the law and continuing to put other peoples lives in danger so you can check your phone. Don't check it when you're at a red light either because if you don't notice the second the light turns green i'll be even more annoyed. Those are just a few of the most annoying things drivers do, after rereading this i'm not sure I should have got my G2 but hey, at least i'll never take part in these activities.

Defining Moment

Being only 16 finding a moment that has really defined me was a challenge. Sure there's probably little things that have made me who I am and have helped shape me, but I wouldn't say any have seriously affected me. But living in a world where i'm almost 100% positive everyone knows someone who has divorced parents made me realize having my parents still together has had an effect on me. I'm more than grateful to have parents who are still happily married after 17 years and know that that won't be changing ever. Think it's kind of a weird defining moment? I guess it's not really one moment, it's an ongoing lifetime thing. I get to spend every birthday,christmas, holiday, important moment with both of my parents. From kindergarten graduation to grade 8 grad my parents have attended both together and looking back on it being able to see them there was an experience i've realized not every child has or will have. I don't have a court order stating what parent, I'm with on what day or even what parent I can or can't see. I'm able to call my mom or dad anytime, spend whenever I want with them for as long as I want. I don't have to be involved in the divorce process or pick one parent over the other.
My parents are incredibly loving and supportive towards every choice I make, both good and bad. Divorce hits people of all ages hard, seeing friends wish they had parents that were still together is what really makes me thankful. I've seen my parents work through multiple problems and come out stronger from them, there not always going to see eye to eye, but it has taught me you can overcome anything with time and patience. My family has dinner together at an actual kitchen table almost every single night of the week, i've learnt that's pretty rare these days. Which seems weird to me because it's been that way all 16 years of my life and I find it hard to believe some people don't have it that way. I've become a stronger person through my parents, I get to come home every day and see them both there, the first thing they ask is "how was your day?" They genuinely care and having that positive vibe in my family has made me look at things positively as well. I've learnt how to be independent and to never depend on others through how they seem to be protective and strict. With the rules and guidelines they've provided through their own life experiences i've been able to make better choices and to keep my head up. I've gotten double the support and love 24/7 and can't see a day in the future where that will ever end.
