"And though she but little, she is fierce." -Shakespeare

Hey there Delilah, what's it like to suck at riding? I'm in the junior jumpers, but you still mess up your striding, yes you do. No one could suck as bad you!

“The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.” - Jordan Belfort

“Screw writing “strong” women. Write interesting women. Write well-rounded women. Write complicated women. Write a woman who kicks ass, write a woman who cowers in a corner. Write a woman who’s desperate for a husband. Write a woman who doesn't need a man. Write women who cry, women who rant, women who are shy, women who don’t take no shit, women who need validation and women who don’t care what anybody thinks. THEY ARE ALL OKAY, and all those things could exist in THE SAME WOMAN. Women shouldn't be valued because we are strong, or kick-ass, but because we are people. So don’t focus on writing characters who are strong. Write characters who are people.” – Lori

Welcome to highschool.

Where you will be judged on your appearance.

Where you won't be able to talk to any of your friends.

Where the drama will fill your head with anxiety.

Where you should be worrying about schoolwork, but aren't.

Where you probably won't love the people around you.

Where your heart will be broken multiple times.

Where you will fail that big test that you studied for all night.

Where you will spend most of your day wishing you were elsewhere.

Where you will make friends and enemies.

Where you will get in fights and learn painful lessons.

Where six valuable hours of your day will be wasted.

Where you will see a lot of people that you really don't want to see.

Have a nice four years.

"To a rider, a horse is not a 'pet' and not a friend. You horse is a best friend, a listener, a partner, a team mate. Horses do not care about how many times you may come off, how covered in dirt you are, and at the end of the day: it doesn't matter what colour of ribbon you got. Because it's your horse who will be there for you, to love you, and cherish every moment with you, to talk to you, and to listen to you.

You wanna take the easy way out because you're scared. And you're scared because if you try and fail there's only you to blame. There are no magic fixes. Life is scary, get used to it.
