Do/Don't Essay

Let me tell you about the complicated sport of dance.  There are three things you should know about dance.  1: It's communication between body and soul.  2: It's not something that you just know right away.  Dance is something that for centuries has connected people in ways that nothing else could.  

I've put together a short list of do's and don't's about dancing and it's complexity.  

Do:  Try it out.  Don't just try one form of dance, because in the long run you may like ballet OR you might like hip hop.  Try each style of dance so you know you're throwing yourself into something you actually like.  

Don't: Try to overdo yourself, your body can only take so much. Don't push to the point where you injure your body.  You need to rest. 

Do:  Find a company.  Dancing is better with other people.  You never know, maybe you'll find a dancing partner for life in a company.  

Don't: Become so into it that you forget other priorities.  You don't want to get so into dancing that you forget to eat on a regular basis and you stop sleeping enough.  

Do: Let yourself be inspired.  Find things in your daily life that make you want to dance.  Dancing is a sport AND art form.  You have to have a reason to dance, whether it be to lose weight, because you need something to do or maybe you want to dance because it makes you feel like you have a connection with something.  

Finally, do continue to dance.  Dance is a little like a happiness boost.  If you dance it releases chemicals that give you a natural high.  You should dance whenever you get a free opportunity to do so.  Dance is a passion and a way to escape your own world. 

  For the love of all holy DON'T quit expanding your knowledge on dance and don't stop practicing. Dance takes effort, of course some people have more of a knack with it, but even those people have to work to be the best.  Like any sport you need to train your body and fine tune it so it works with that sport.  Continue to dance and you'll know what that true connection between body and soul is all about.

Let me tell you the best kept secret about living a righteous life for God. It's simple. It may not seem like it, but it really is simple. The two hardest things that there are is probably not saying the lord's name in profanity, and not committing adultery within your heart. 

I'm not here to imply that everything is going to be a breeze in your personal religious life, cause it's not. I only mean to say it's plain and simple, not easy. There'll be days when you wish you were dead, and other times when you're on your highest peak. Just... Don't let it get to your head. 

I've collected a brief list of do's and don't's for those seeking a religious life so that you won't be in the dark when beginning out. 

Do: pray always. The most simple of things for religious people of all and any standing within the church. Praying will fill you with passion and the love of God for hours on end. Provided, of course, if you pray correctly. Always invoke the name of God before praying and always thank him afterward. 

Don't: rush through prayers. If there is one thing God despises more, it's when his children don't care about wanting to talk to him. He says time and time again throughout His scriptures, that he enjoys our prayers and wishes us to talk with Him. So pray slowly and lovingly. Actually care about what it is you are saying. 

Do: read your scriptures daily. Knowing how to fend off evil by the scriptures standards is always useful, especially when fiends of hell provoke you or tease you because of your beliefs. They may make up horrendous lies about your religion and try to see you break. But, when you know your scriptures, battle is easy and purely swift. 

Don't: commit idolatry. Committing idolatry is very common and extremely easy, which is why is should be avoided at all costs. Wearing a shirt from a famous singer is one form of idolatry. Having a famous persons poster is another form of idolatry. Excessively talking about a famous person is idolatry. Yes, it is idolatry... And God despises it.  Avoid all forms of it. 

Do: respect your religious leaders. Don't argue with them, just respect them. They know more than you do, that's why they're leaders and you're not. Don't think that just because you're younger, that you have all the answers. And don't think that just because you have tons of questions, that your leader is going to start lying. Your questions mean nothing in reality. Your leader knows what he's doing.

Don't: take all your friends out of religion just because you left. You left because you're just different, your friends aren't necessarily different like you. Don't ruin it for your faithful friends or relatives. They are actually trying to please God.

Do: marry inside your religion. The Bible and the Quran specifically command us to marry inside our religion to avoid conflict. Example given, a religious man marries an atheist girl. Well, it just so happens, that just like Eve, she is easily tempted to drag him down along with her. She hates God, and she won't rest until he does too. When you marry inside your religion, you are two persons who will stop at nothing to please God. And in the Doctrine and Covenants, it says that two persons who will stop at nothing to please God, will gain heaven easily.

So all in all, just do that which is generally obvious, and that which pleases God. I gave you a brief list in hopes that you'll take it serious. Worship God, don't fail him. Do the simple things.

Let me tell you the best-kept secret about stretching your ears. Be patient. The two worst things you can do in order of how much Damage you will do, 1. Skipping sizes and 2. Going too fast. Using the taping method barely even counts as "stretching."

I've collected a brief list of do's and don't's for what to do if you want to stretch your ears.

DO: keep your ears moisturized. And I don't mean just water, get off your butt and buy A and D or vitamin E. Personally I use both and I recommend it but at least have one of those. Your ears need care and keeping your ears warm and moisturized is crucial if you want healthy lobes.

DON'T: skip sizes. Skipping sizes is the worst thing you can do. Instead of stretching your ears this is more like tearing your ears. This causes bleeding and tearing and leaves your ear with scar tissue making it harder to stretch to the next size. And let's face It , if you're stretching, you're going to go to the next size.

DO: keep your ears warm. It is very important that you keep your ears warm in the winter. Wear a scarf, ear muffs, or even just a hoodie. You ear will stretch easier if they are warm. Just think about your fingers they don't move very quick when they're cold. Same logic with your ears.

DON'T: use tapers past 00 gauge. Tapers are good for smaller sizes but after 00, gauge tapers get too heavy and can stretch your ears uneven. They also give you the whole stretch at once which can cause tearing. When your ears get bigger they need more time between stretches anyway.

DO: use the taping method. This is the best method and the most common for larger sizes. This is when you take a non adhesive tape such as bondage or Teflon and wrap a couple layers on your plug at a time. You add layers everyday for about a week and you're at the next size. It's  painless unless you add too much tape at a time.

Even though people say it looks painful DON'T: let it scare you, it's completely painless if you do it right.

Let me tell you the best kept secret about relationships. It's easy if you make it easy. The two hardest things are compromise. Opposite sexes naturally butt heads, a lot of it had to do with competitive behavior. The second hardest thing is honesty. Being honest to someone you love is one of the hardest things to do.

I've collected a brief list of do's and don'ts about relationships in reference to what guys should and shouldn't do.

Do: stock up on chocolate and tampons. These are two necessities for women, and the chocolate, can help after a fight. There are many benefits to these two items.

Don't: tell your girl to calm down. This will create the opposite effect almost immediately, sometimes resulting in shoes or objects being thrown at your head resulting in a black eye for a job interview.

Do: tell your girl you love her constantly. It's not about the money, it's time and heart. Show her you love her with complements, hugs, kisses, And sweet whispered words.

Don't: talk about past relationships. This will flare jealousy and anxiety in your girl and could start an argument you will most definitely lose. 

Do: let her win simple arguments. It will keep her confidence up and keep her loving towards you. Be prepared to back down when necessary and stand up when inevitable.

Don't: bring up anything about her eating habits or weight. Women are already self-conscious, so by bringing up anything whatsoever about her looks will make her shy away or cause unhealthy habits.

Do: attempt to do stereotypical chores around the house every once in awhile. Make dinner, do the laundry, wipe down the counters etc... These are signs that you care, and will most definitely reward you by doing them.

But for the love of everything good and holy in this world, don't mess with your girl when it's her time of month. We are already flooded with a million emotions at once! Don't create even more unnecessary emotions. Relationships are phases or a phase in your life but can be easy with these hints.

Do/Don't Essay

It's interesting how much we unknowingly allow people to take control over what we say, the things we do, and potentially, our entire lives. Honestly, the hardest things about it is, 1. Deciding their not important enough to control you and 2. Trying not to laugh at how ridiculous the other person looks getting worked up over not getting a reaction. 

My Do's and Don't's for this simple thought process :

Do: Remember that they honestly aren't worth it. So why would you waste your breath, time, or even thoughts on a person who clearly doesn't have the brain capacity to contemplate what you're saying . You never see a Judge in court arguing with a 3 year old. It's the same thing.

Don't: Take anything their saying personally. It makes sense to be upset if Kim Kardashian gives weight loss tips, but getting mad when Raspusha calls you fat, is honestly the same difference. It's too hilarious to get mad about.

Do: Walk away. Who cares what they think? People comment on celebrities Instagram pages saying horrible things about them... But they don't care because it's not important and they have other things to focus on.

Don't: Laugh too hard.

All I'm saying is, there are way too many amazing things about life to look forward to, to spend it letting someone with low self esteem bring you down and control your life. It's your life, why not spend it happy.

Let me tell you the best kept secret about rapping it's easy. The two hardest things I do in flowing is extending your mind to rhyme with bigger worlds with unique meanings and. Giving  the story everyone wants. 

I don't mean to imply that life in the rapping game is easy it's not. But the flowing it self is pretty easy whether your at bad boy records,death row or things records. For example biggie smalls was a crack dealer and went to puff daddy and got a deal to record And he became the best rapper (in my opinion) his style was the most unique I've ever heard.

Because Rapping is so easy  a lot of rappers rap about anything without spreading a message or saying anything worthwhile this is a mistake. Because when your music isn't serious no one takes you serious look at tres locos they rap about sex and drugs and barley anyone listens to them. They aren't as famous as like I said Biggie Smalls rapped about life struggles he said things to attract the listeners attention.

DO: Be real no one wants to hear a studio gangster (lies in his/her music) because if you want to be famous be real about where you came from and what you did.

DO NOT: swear to much if all you music is s word b word c word no one will listen your trying to pull the listeners attention not swear their ear off.

DO:  Try to keep up with the beat the song sounds way better and people think your music is "poppin " and good to listen to.

DO NOT: think your song is still good if you don't rhyme stop there if it don't rhyme it don't shine people want to see your vocabulary rhyme with things PLEASE!

DO: keep your mind open to learning new words the more you do that the better at rapping you will get.

DO NOT: discourage yourself there is no such thing as a perfect rapper if someone thinks you suck it's okay that's their opinion and you can't change it.

DO :  keep yourself loyal to where your from never forget your roots.

DO NOT : always rap about the same thing change it up no one wants to hear about the same thing.

DO: try to keep a positive message if it's always bad you'll pretty much lead kids the wrong way.

Well these are just a couple things you should refrain from when trying to rap. Rapping shouldn't always be the first priority have a back up plan. Like a job so if your rap game don't pan out you still make money. No matter what stay in school that's something's most rappers don't do but if you do than you can get a masters in your back up plan and probably you will make more money than you did in the rap game. But always have the dream of being a rapper most rappers were just like us than they go a shot they started where we are if they can do it why not us ?

Ending a relationship is not an easy thing to do, it's hard when you are in love with a girl.  2. Being friends with your ex girlfriends. I always fall even harder for her.

Do: tell her that she is the best thing that ever happened to you. She needs to be reminded of that. This will help you out in the relationship. The fact is that everyone likes to be appreciated.

But for the love of everything holy Don't expect a good night kiss. The fact is that the girl who went out with you might not be wanting a relationship that's serious. Her father could also be watching. This could be the last thing you do.

DO: If you compliment the person you have a relationship with, intimate or not. They would probably be more willing to be around you but don't let them take advantage of you and them only want to be around you JUST because you compliment them.
