The Tall Tale Heart

Relationship Problems?

      Do you feel like your relationship is going down hill? Are you caught in a love triangle with your two friends? Do you want to have a relationship with someone but your thinking about someone else? Well I have some helpful tips just for your relationship…Hunger Game style.

        We’re going to be talking about healthy and unhealthy relationships. If you need help with your relationship then read the following tips.

Relationship Tip #1: Getting What You Want.

        I a relationship you can’t always get what you want 100% of the time. This is not Burger King you can’t always have it your way. If you think your going to get what you want then you are setting up for an unhappy relationship. For example Katniss wanted to go to the feast, but Peeta told her no because he didn’t want her to get killed.

        What Katniss did is she put sleeping syrup in his food and tricked him. When she saw that Peeta was fully asleep she went to the feast. Now what Katniss did was very unhealthy for her relationship. But what she did was out of love which brings me to my next tip.

 Relationship Tip #2: Doing Things Out Of Love.

        When you do things out of love that means its coming from the heart. It means going out of the way, doing the extrem for your relationship because you love your partner. Going back to the situation with Katniss and Peeta. Katniss gave him the sleeping syrp becaus Peeta had blood posing going up his leg from the opening cut on his leg by Cato. If Katniss didn't go to the feast Peeta would die. What Katniss is she went through the extrem to get the shot for Peeta so he would not die. Now thats what you call love.

Relationship Tip #3: Conflict With You And Your Partner.

      Coming to your patner with an nasty attitude saying mean things to them or telling them to do what you say bacause u had a bad day. No that is not col at all, thats how some good relationships end because you of your partner has a bad attitude. take the time to sit down and talk about your problems or your day, and tell them why it was so bad thats how you save your relationship. Peeta and Katniss butt heads a lot and that is unhealthy for a relationship becaus you or your partner should be heard.
      Dont attack your partner because bad arguments lead into throwing things and braekinf lamps or vases that is really unhealthy. Attacking your partner is the worst thing that you can possibly do. And when your in the argument don't bring your partners past into it hen you really have some drama coming your way. Katniss attacks Peeta all the time but thats because he doesn't get a chance to explain his side of the story. Make sure you or your partner is heard before you start a huge fight with them.

     These helpful tips will hopfully help your relationship along the way. And if you have not found love yet well theirs someone out there waiting for the right person to spend the rest of their life with and that just might be you.

You Dare Ask Who Am I? – Katniss Everdeen

You dare ask who I am?

 I am the one who would take chances with Gale

And go in the woods and hunt

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one who puts food on the table

Because my mother is to hurt to do it herself

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one whose father had a beautiful voice when he sings

But passed in a mine explosion

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one who save her sister

From a fight I know she wouldn’t be able to win

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one who caught the judge’s eye

Shooting the arrow right at their table when they paid no attention to me

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one who scored an 11 in the training course

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one who exploded the carrier tributes food

To see how long they would last

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one who made an alliance with Rue

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one who watched Rue die with my own eyes

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one who almost lost Peeta to blood poising

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one who was almost killed by Clove,

Until Thresh came and saved me

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one who found out that the barriers were poisoned

When Peeta and I saw Foxface dead

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one who killed Cato with one arrow

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one whose heart is split in two

Not knowing who to give it to

You dare ask who I am?

I am the one who WON the Hunger Games

You still dare to ask who I am?

I am Katniss Everdeen

     Why did the boy from district 1 have to kill Rue, the only thing that was close to Katniss, the only thing that reminded Katniss of home, the only thing that reminded Katniss of her little sister Prim. Good people weren't meant to die.

When Does Beauty Go To Far

      I Believe that beauty goes to far when people start hurting themselves to do what other people want. For example if a girl has a boy friend and her boy friend wants her to get plastic surgery on something, the girl said yes but when he walks away she really doesn't want to do it. It goes to far when parents put there little children in pageant's. Like that show on TLC's Toddler's and Tiaras that brakes my heart when i see the little kids crying and telling their moms that they don't want to do it, i mean really all that make-up and jewelry  on those little girls is not cool. One day the world will see that it is not about what's on the outside, because someone could be the most prettiest person in the world but have a cold heart and hate your guts. Everyone on the inside and out should be beautiful just the way they are. You don't need to have on make-up or get plastic surgery or look like a celebrity to be beautiful just believe in yourself and you will be just fine, because you can do bad all by yourself.

What Does The World Say About Beauty?

The world say that you have to look one way and act another way just to be beautiful, NO YOU DON'T! You don't have to look and be like everybody else and copy people style to look beautiful! You have to STANDOUT, show the world that everything on the outside doesn't matter IT'S WHATS ON THE INSIDE! Just because famous people put on make-up and put on clothes that show half of their body doesn't mean you have to! Be different, show the world that you are you and don't need anybody else to help show that because you are AWESOME! When people see the real you they will love you for who you are.
