Is life worth living?

Hello guys! I hope your Monday is going well :) Today, I was in Philosophy's class and the teacher told us a question: "is life worth living?". I know that in Philosophy people ask themselves a lot of questions, but rarely have an answer. But I think I have an answer to that question. Well, more than thinking, I know that I have an answer to that question. 
The answer to the question "is life worth living?" is yes. Life is worth living. It definitely is. No matter who you are, where you're from, what you've done... your life is worth living. You have been given the chance of living, which is the best thing you can be given. So live. Live your life the best way you can, leave a mark in this world. But don't leave a scars. Leave a mark, a good one. Nobody can't change the whole world, but you, as an individual, can make a difference. And making a difference isn't in the big things, it is often in the small things. The small things that people think that don't matter. Sometimes it is smiling to a stranger. Being nice with people. Telling the people you love that you love them, what they mean to you. Those seem like little things that don't make any difference at all, but they really do! The same way that little things like small insults, actions, that don't seem to matter can really hurt people. 
So yeah, I really think that life is worth it. That doesn't mean I have bad days the same way as you do, but those bad days you should remind yourself how great those good days were. If you think that way, the bad days won't feel that bad. And get the most of those good days, because small things, moments and good days, good moments are what makes life beautiful, worth living. Happiness is found in small happy moments :)
Life is hard for all of us, but it is ALWAYS worth living. It's your choice how you're going to live your life. Make your move count!

American Idiot's 10th Birthday!

Hey there guys! How are you all doing tonight? Today, it's the 10th birthday of someone really special... and it's called American Idiot!
For those who don't know, American Idiot is the 7th studio album of the pop punk/punk rock band from California, US, Green Day. The album is definitely amazing, and it was released today, 10 years ago. 
The album has sold over 15 million copies worldwide, and there are 5 singles from it: American Idiot, Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, Holiday, Wake Me Up When September Ends and Jesus Of Suburbia. I'll review the album, I don't know when, but I'd like to know your thoughts on the albumm, so you can tell me below in the comments!
Below I'm posting the video of one of my favorite songs from the album so you can enjoy it:

Over-thinking

Hey! I'm not supposed to be writing a post right now, but I really don't care. Here it is over 1AM so, I should be sleeping since I have high school tomorrow, but I can't sleep so I decided to write a post here. If tomorrow at class I fall asleep, blame blogger. 
Today, I decided to talk about over-thinking. I'm not going to talk about people in general, because I don't know if the other people over-think a lot, or don't over-think or anything. So I'll just talk about me. 
I over-think a lot. I over-think everything, literally everything. If I'm in class I always think I got the exercises wrong, and if they ask a question I don't answer even if I know it because I'm overthinking too much and think I got it wrong. If I'm in the shopping centre I overthink about everything there too. If I see someone staring at me, I think that they're thinking something bad, I start thinking that I might look horrible or ridiculous, or that basically they're hating everything about me. If I text someone and they take a long time texting back, I think I annoyed them or something happened to them or they don't like talking to me or whatever. Now it seems like I'm very self centered, or that's what I think it seems at least. But I don't just over-think about that. 
When I see someone, I wonder if they're having a good day or not. When I notice how they're lying while they're saying "I'm okay", I wonder why they're lying and faking a smile. I wonder if they're happy or not. I wonder if people think they're happy but they're dying inside. When I read a book, I wonder what inspired the author to write it; if it was an experience, or if it was about them but they're hiding it among characters. When I listen to a song, I wonder the same. I wonder what made the song writer write that song.
I basically over-think all the things that are around me: the big ones and the small ones. There are more things I over-think besides the examples I said. And, believe me, over-thinking fucking sucks. Sometimes it's good because, in my case, I get to write some cool stuff in the stories I write, and I discover a lot of stuff about people, that they don't have an idea that I know, but I know it. I have a lot of things in my mind all the moments. But, over-thinking is bad in my opinion. At least it has been for me. I have gotten a lot of bad stuff from overthinking. All I have done is creating a very insecure person who hides in her room from the real world because she's afraid of hurting others and getting hurt. Before I do/say anything I overthink a hundred times if what I'm going to say will hurt someone or if they're going to judge me, or if it'll be wrong or anything. And, after I say it I over-think a lot too. 
I'm not going to tell you not to over-think, because I would hate it if someone told me that, because it's not as easy as "just don't over-think". But I'll give you my advice: if you have the chance, don't overthink. Never do that. And if you do, try to distract yourself from over-thinking. 
I hoped you liked this post, and hope you have a good day/night/evening/whatever it is where you live!

Suicide Awareness Day

Hello guys! Well, today I'm writing a deep post, not about bands or anything like that. Today it's 10th September, and as some of you know I guess, it's suicide awareness day. So, I guess I should talk about it today. 
This goes to whoever is reading this:
I don't know you. I don't know if you're a happy person or not. I don't know if your life is perfect or if it's a mess. I don't know what's going on your mind, or what you think about when you're all alone. I don't know how much time you've been fighting, or if you think it's time to give up. 
Let me tell you something. I know this is what everyone says and stuff, but it gets better. I'm not saying it just to make you feel good or anything; I'm saying it because it's true. Everyone says it, but they say it because it's true. Now all you see is darkness, and pain makes you think that it will never get better, but that's not true. If you give up now, you'll never see it get better. You won't have the chance to see how much people care about you and love you (because they really do, although you can't see it). You won't have the chance to be happy again, and you deserve to be happy again. You deserve to get better, you deserve to see it get better, you deserve to live and to be happy. But you can't get any of that without fighting. We all have things to fight, and, you're not alone. Even if you think you're the only one who feels that way, that's not true. You're hiding all the pain you're gonig through, but so are a lot of people. So don't you ever think you're alone in this, because you're not. And there's a lot of people who want to help you, they're willing to listen and to be by your side in this. It's okay to ask for help, it's the best thing you can do if you're having a hard time. So, don't be afraid to ask for help, you'll receive a lot of support and with help you'll get through this. And, if for any reason you don't find anyone to help you, you can always contact with me. I'm always here, and, I'm not a therapist or anything, but I'll always try my best to help. You can contact me on twitter: @bandskeepalive; tumblr: bandskeepalive.tumblr.com & in Ask.FM: ask.fm/bandskeepalive. Or even write a comment here or whatever. Stay strong, and, please, don't give up. Find small reasons to live and small things that make you happy and never let them go. When you feel like giving up, remember we're here for you, you're not alone. Remember that someone out there cares about you <3
I hope you liked this post, and thank you for reading it! I'll write a post saying reasons to live soon too :)

"Centuries"

Hey! Today, 8th September, the pop punk band Fall Out Boy has released a new single called "Centuries". Have you already listened to it? It's totally amazing in my opinion, I liked it a lot! If you haven't checked it out yet, you definitely should give it a try. Oh, and if you have listened to it, I'd love to know your opinion of it too! Also there are rumors about the band releasing a new record in 2015. I don't know if it's true, but I really hope it is. 
Below you can listen to the song and let me know what you think of it:

"Do you really wanna be like them?"

Hey there! So, today, I was listening to the song "The Anthem" by Good Charlotte, and I decided to talk on here about this quote from the song because I find it pretty interesting. "Do you really wanna be like them? Do you really wanna be another trend?" I think that these phrases are great to talk about them. 
I don't know what you guys think of today's society, or what you think of the mentality of most people. But I'll tell you what I think and my opinion of it. 
I hate this society, I really do. I don't wanna be like them. And if I'm going to be called weirdo or freak for that, then so am I. Because I don't want to be part of a society like ours. If I'm critiziced or hated for sharing what I really think, then come hate me, I don't really care. 
In this society, if you're different, you're hated. When we all are unique in our own ways. But most people end up being all the same, they all act like robots. What's the point of that? To me, if we all were the same, it'd be f***ing boring. 
If someone becomes original and shares their own thoughts and mentality, and they're not as we're all supposed to be, it seems like it's wrong. When it's not wrong at all! If you stand up for what you believe in, you're hated by most people. People don't realize what this society is really turning to. There's no one to blame, but I don't want to be like that. I don't want to be a copy of someone, I don't want to be like I'm supposed to. I want to be who I want to be, not who people tell me to be. If you want to be like them, it's okay, it's your life, it's your choice. But I don't want to. I'm sick of this society. I just can't agree with a mentality where if you put others down you're better. A society where people tell others to kill themselves just because they don't think like them is not a right one. I just don't get it. I just don't get a lot of things about this society. And that's why I listen to a lot of pop-punk/punk rock, because they made me realize a lot of things related to all that. A lot of you now might be thinking I'm crazy, but if I were you, I'd think it all over. 
This world, this society, it's so wrong. Respect others should be something everyone should do, but people just don't do it. This life it's so repetitive, everything's the same. Everyday we wake up and face another day which is the same as the other one, and it's boring. It's really boring. It's your choice as I said, but... do you prefer to be a copy of the rest, or do you prefer to be different? Because, being different is being unique. And, if this society tells you you're doing it wrong because your way of thinking is not like theirs, f*** that, you're awesome!
I hope you liked this post, and below you can listen to the song I've mentioned:

The Color Morale releases "Hold On Pain Ends"!

Hey there guys! How have you all been doing? I hope you've been doing great!
I'm writing this post to tell you something that I think you'd love to hear! The Color Morale, a post-hardcore band from Illinois, US, has released today their latest album "Hold On Pain Ends". It's a really awesome album that I'll review anytime soon! I like to take a lot of time to listen to an album a lot of times before reviewing it ;) But, the songs are awesome, and the lyrics will touch your heart. 
Also, the band has released the official music video for the single "Prey For Me". I've just watched it, and honestly I'm in tears. It's a very strong video, and really poweful. It talks about subjects that aren't talked nowadays, and should be talked about. Because talking about it could stop it. I've read some people commenting saying it's triggering. I personally don't find it triggering at all, but I'm telling it here just in case, before you watch it. I personally appreciate a lot when any artists or bands talk about this kind of subjects in music, it's really supportive in my opinion. And, the lyrics are some kind of lyrics you won't find very often, as all the lyrics of this band. Their lyrics are amazing, honestly. And with messages that should be listened by everyone. You know: hold on, pain ends. I really recommend you to give the entire album a listen, you won't regret it, and buy it too if you like it! If you're having a hard time, you definitely should listen to it, and specially to the songs:  Hold On Pain Ends, and Suicide;Stigma. They will help you. This band really helps. Stay strong, things better are coming. Reach out, you're not alone.
Below you can watch the video of the song "Prey For Me"; also you can comment below your thoughts on the album if you have already listened to it:
