Who am I? Aylisa. That's who. No shame. Hopefully someday glory. 

Love is a strong word the opposite of hate which is an even stronger word, both of which are used too often. People say they may love someone, but do they truly feel that way? People say they hate things, but if it came down to it do they truly feel that way? I will tell you now: I hate no one and nothing. 

When I love something, I make sure I know for sure that I love it before I let the world know. Love is this tug on your heart that you don't get with anything else. Sometimes you know in a split second that you love something/someone and sometimes it takes a while before you know. Take soccer for example. When I was younger I doubt I truly loved soccer I just did it because it looked fun and other people were doing it, but I know for sure now that when it's not soccer season and I'm not with my team I miss it, I feel the tug on my heart telling me to get back on the field and play my heart out. That's love.

 Love can do some weird things like lead you falsely in the wrong direction or make you think only about that one thing to drive you crazy. When you love someone you'd do anything for them just to see them happy even if it means ruining your happiness.

To make others happy I try my best to please everyone. Sometimes I go out of my way to make peoples lives better and it goes unnoticed, which is the way I like it. Although, our school made this system of "PRIDE Tickets" for those who show pride in our school they get tickets that they can use for prizes. I don't see how this helps because people aren't using their hearts to help people they are doing it because they have to if they want to get a prize. 

Beauty is like judging a book by its cover you take one look at someone and your brain automatically places them under the category of either beautiful, pretty, or ugly. If you ask me I would tell you that I'm ugly, but for others, they say that I' m pretty and unique. When you think about it we're all pretty in our own ways it's just the way you see yourself that really matters. 

I'm an extrovert. No doubt about it. There are times that I can be shy, but most times than not I'm an extrovert. At soccer games, even when the coach says I shouldn't, I will talk to the opposite team if the ball isn't being played in my positional area. At track meets, I will talk to my fellow competitors before a race and get to know them before we compete. At my church camp, my best friend and I make new friends every year and make the best out of it. It's a part of who I am being friendly and outgoing and a part of trusting others with my words.

Even the smallest amount of stars can shine brighter than the darkest of faults.
