For those who don't know, BarlowGirl is my all time favorite band. Their songs always inspire, and it seems I have a personal story behind there songs. I also love what they have to say at concerts. Here's a quote by these amazing ladies:
“You were made to shake up the world….don’t let someone else do it! Don’t let someone else dream the dream that God has for you. You go out, you go out and shake up this world, you go out and make history. I want this world to remember us as a generation that did not care what anyone else thought. I want this world to remember us as a generation that changed this world for forever.”
I love this quote because it always gets me thinking. It says everything I desire for my life: I want to shake up the world, to dream that dream God has for me. I want the world to remember me as that girl who didn't care what others think of her, that changed the world forever.
What drives me nuts is that I watch teens around me live their whole lives trying to fit in. Their world revolves around 5 minutes of fame. But is that all we're here for? To see who has the most expensive clothes, the hottest clothes, the cutest boyfriend/girlfriend, to see who has the most friends. But there's more to life to that. If you try to please everyone, to be the most popular kid in school, it doesn't seem like you're really living. You're just living a lie to make others like you. I want to live! I don't want to live an unlived life. I want people to look at me and see that I'm different, that I'm not like other girls. I dare to be different. Will you?
