The holiday season is coming up and I always collect donations for those less fortunate. I believe it's important to give back and take care of others. It has always been normal for me to want to give back. It's just who I am. I love the thought of being able to help someone, give them a smile, give them hope, give them a moment of happiness.
I've written before how "Emma's Seeds of Kindness" is just me and not my family and it's true. But I have realized I feel like I have this pressure that people think my page and my projects aren't just me. I've told my mom before how it all comes easy to me. Even if my projects themselves have challenges to overcome, the ideas come so easily to me. Being kind to others, giving back, protecting our environment is me. It's just who I am. I'm not saying I'm perfect, because I am not, no one is. I'm just another human being that has their own struggles. Everyone has their own lives, struggles, and our own successes. It's how we deal with it all that really counts. I personally don't like talking in person with someone about my projects. It's not that I'm embarrassed or not proud of them, it's just that my projects are me. It comes from my heart. I tend to feel like my thoughts get scattered and pushed together when I speak. I also know that if I want to make a difference to help, I need to learn to get past it. Writing comes easier to me and even writing stuff like this becomes almost too personal. But if I'm not honest to you with this while I'm being honest with my projects, then I'm not being honest with myself. It's all confusing when you think about it. Everything I do always starts simple but then it's like I wake up and make the projects more complex and complicated, because I know that I can do more. Honestly, I don't know what you are going to take away from reading this. Maybe you'll be inspired to help others or maybe you'll just understand me a little more. I'm a teenager who still hasn't decided what I'm going to do with my life and that's a very common thing, I remind myself that and it helps me know that I'm not "behind". I've been told that I'm not the typical teenager, and it's true. I don't do "typical" teenage things, but I think that's okay. I have so many interests in life, some connect and others are on completely different scales. I do know that I want to make a difference, and I've been told that I can, and deep down I know I can. It's just hard, because like I said earlier, I'm human. I'm going to repeat one of my sentences from above, "But I have realized I feel like I have this pressure that people think my page and my projects aren't just me." I'm repeating this because this is only one of the many "pressures" I have with my page and projects. I admit, I do ask my mom for help with some of my posts and projects to make sure that what needs to be said is said and is done right, I'm still a kid and having the feeling to be perfect is unrealistic. I also know that I'm trying my best, and that's honestly the only thing we can do. Like I said above, I don't know what you're going to take from this but I hope you know that we can only be our best if we try.
