beautifully imperfect




"I think I should put this here, and this here." I mumbled to myself.
I had been working on this project for years. Putting the best moments of my life, on this wall.
The picture I had clasped in my hands was the final touch.
If I could only find the right spot to place it.
I took a couple photographs off of the wall and placed them to the right.
How am I supposed to arrange these? 
I laid back onto my bed and looked at my memorabilia. That's what I would call it.
Resting my eyes, I brushed my hand over the picture I was holding. These were moments caught on film. A time of laughter and happiness. Not perfection, but beautifully imperfect.
Wait. That's the key.
I sprang up, and closed my eyes. With the picture in my hand I placed it on my wall.
"There." I said, opening my eyes. I had done it. It was beautifully imperfect.

-------------------------------------

Hats off to you.
One day I am going to make a picture wall. The idea is beautiful. Having a wall full of your memories, captured in the moment. Not perfectly arranged but beautifully imperfect. 
An array of clutter that has meaning. Each piece an impact on your life.
Some times we feel like we are not worth it.
Or that we are no where near perfect.
Truth is? No one can be perfect, but can we not try and be beautifully imperfect?



Stay beautifully imperfect.
xoxo,
Kayla

today

It may be hard to take a chance, but If we try, in the end we just might find it worth the while.


Who is in love with this picture?

I for one have trouble with stepping out.
Showing love to those around.
Because I'm to scared to fail.
I normally just stick to the laid out trail.
Not bothering to go my own way.
But that is going to change, and I'm starting with today.

Today, I will step out and lead the way.
Today, I will help at my own pace.
Today, I will choose to do something new.
And leave a legend behind.
Show the world whats mine.
I can do it today.

If we all rely, on that voice that says we cant.
Will we even try, to change the way we live.
So just break out to your own way and give.
Live your life and make it count.
Show the world and live it out, today.


you can start today // step out

Stay beautifully in today.
xoxo, Kayla

books : divergent ( rant )

I did it. I finally read divergent! Okay, so I know this book came out like two years ago... But I didn't start hearing about it until two months ago. I absolutely love this book. Period. 
I believe if I go in to to much detail, I will probably give the whole story away... 
I also loved the fact that it was a longer book. I thought it would be around 300 pages, but It is 500 pages. Which meant I could read it in 4 hours instead of 2. It gives you more time to enjoy the book. I was so excited when I was reaching the end, and then I realized you basically have to read the second book to finish the story. 
I almost *sniff sniff* cried. :'-(


Anyways.. Back to my rant. :)
Some people said that the first part and middle part were boring. And that the main jest of the story started near the end... I disagree. I didn't find it boring at all.
Personally, I think, that all of the book matters. Because you get to know the characters better. 
Like Tobias. 0.o
I love when you figure out why they call him four.
I know this is wired.. But I liked the part where Tris is in stage two and Four figures out she is divergent.
I just love Tris. Plus her mom is epic! ( Read the end. ) Just saying.
I cried at the end ,when you know who dies, while trying to save her.
And when she has to kill.... I am stopping.. Because I am going to probably spoil the book..

Main point of this rant : This book is really good. I recommend it for 12 and up. Or 13.. depending on your handling and maturity. If you apply for that, read this book. :)

Ps. I could never be abnegation. Defiantly not. -.-

Stay beautifully divergent.

A little bit about me.

I'm the type of person, that will be in my bedroom, in my own little world. I will be dancing to old Disney songs, and singing along at the top of my lungs.

This doesn't have much to do with this post.
I just adore the picture. <3
There is just something about when the weather gets cold,
the leaves start to fall, and you can pull out your boots, beanies, and sweaters.
I love waking up in the morning and pulling your blanket tighter around you, because its chilly.
Walking outside and crunching the leaves beneath your feet.
When you look out your window and see little white pieces of ice floating in the air.
I love having to pull out your think soft blankets, while sitting in a comfy chair, reading a book.
Making hot cocoa and drinking it before you study.
Photographing everything cozy.
I love when the roads ice over, and you can go 'ice skating' in your shoes.
The frost on the windows, making your ordinary world look magical.
The Christmas music that is constantly playing in my room.
Sledding on not even two inches on snow, and having to push yourself down the whole way.
I love snow storms, and anticipating Christmas.
I love driving through the mountains, where your surrounded by red, yellow, and orange.
I love when you rake the leaves into piles and jump in them.
When you come inside and your cheeks are red.

I know its weird to write this when its not even fall yet, but I am waiting for the frosty weather.
Even now I have Christmas music playing in my room. Is that weird? I guess not. Can it honestly be weird to do something you love?

Stay beautifully listening to Christmas music.

Invisible.

Am I invisible?
Waiting to be seen.
Am I invisible?
Your walking right through me.
And no matter how hard I try
people just keep passing by,
leaving me behind.
Do I look invisible?
If I got up off the ground, and shouted in your ear,
to let you know I'm here.
Would you see me?
Would you notice, if I tried.
To carry through the night, alone.
Am I invisible?
It takes strength to realize.
That we don't have to be seen to be alive.
People great and small, all have a purpose.
No matter what the call, we all have a dream.
It takes time, so I'm fine, with not being seen.
With not being seen, comes responsibility, to know that even if we feel alone. There is always someone who will be by our side. Helping, when we think were on our own. We are never truly Invisible.

                                            you are not Invisible // keep believing, you will achieve

Stay beautifully invisible.

If I had a time machine


If I had a time machine.
I would go and change some things.
Go back in time and make it right.
Help the world, and make it bright.

If I had one day in a time machine.
I would go back and see.
 Every moment that we spent together.
The times we danced in the rainy weather.
And I would cherish the little things.
If I had a time machine.

If I had a time machine, I would go in time.
Make some things worth the climb.
Pick up every shining dime.
Let my words flow out in rhyme.
If I could go back in time.

If I had a time machine.
I'd look at things that were kept unseen.
Unleash a beauty unto the world.
Show a love and make a whirl

I would..
Savor every moment that we spent together.
The times we danced in the rainy weather.
I would cherish the little things.
The lesser ones that were kept unseen.
If I only had a time machine.

wish you had a time machine // go back and change some things

Stay beautifully melodic.

Rambling about.... I don't know.

                                                                                                Crush- "Hey, hows it going?"
Me- "Umm... Urmachushmmm... Good. Y-you?"
*Quickly composes self."
Me- "I mean.. Hey, *Flips hair* I am great! You?"
Crush- "I have been okay. I just finished watching all the Lord of the rings movies."
Me- "Really? Lord of the rings? How about star wars?"
Crush- "Eh. Star wars is okay."
Me- "O-okay? W-w-what type of person are you? Star wars is a gift to the human race!"
Crush- *Nervously looks around* "Umm.. Okay?"
Me- *Realizes I am making him uncomfortable* "So.. Avengers?"

And people.
That is how I imagine my conversation going.
I have never watched Lord of the Rings, I will probably watch it in near future..
But for now, I am fine with my strange obsession to Star wars, Avengers, and Superman.
Of course... All my friends are like.
"Oh my gosh! Gollum!"
Okay... So I don't know who that is.. But they are constantly talking about Gollum and a ring..
But the ring is also like alive, or something... 
All I know.. Is that there is this like little troll, that looks like a shaved bear. 
Ps. Never look up shaved bear. You might possibly be scarred for life. 
*Sits in a corner, and starts uncontrollably shaking.*

Anyways, while they are obsessing over that, my friend and I are standing in a corner like loners because we are the only ones that are not talking about the hobbit.

Caitlin- "I adore batman."
Me- "Batman? He has like no real superpowers. Hes just a rich dude with some gadgets."
Caitlin- "H-how could you?"
Me- "Easy! Superman is amazing, because he actually has real powers."
Caitlin- "He might have powers, but he is not that cute."
Me- "How many ways can you insult me?"
Caitlin- "Well... I will admit, at least when he is saving the world he isn't a green, huge, monster."
Me- "I know right! Speaking of the hulk. Wasn't it hilarious when he threw Loki around in the Avengers?"
Caitlin- "I know right! He was totally epic."

And then we are friends again. Ba-bam.
We are weird like that.
And that makes us Epic!
Speaking on Epic..
I saw the movie epic, and it is really good. I was surprised.. It was actually better than I thought it would be.
I loved the three legged, one eyed dog. When he ran into the door. Priceless.


That my friends... Is the end of this very weird, awkward rambling.
I also have nothing against Lord of the Rings.
It's just not my thing.
How do you like my new design?
It was done by the amazing Anna!
Stay beautifully awkward.

My perfectly 'normal' obsessions.

This topic has been on my heart for basically a couple of long wearisome minutes.
   Behold. My perfectly normal Obsessions!

      Star wars.

I love star wars. It is amazing. I will admit that when my dad wanted me to watch it I was like.
 "Oh. Great. Another one of those older movies, where you want to repeatedly walk into a pole."
Nope. It was amazing! Best mistake ever!
Yesterday, I was having a heart to heart talk with my friend about star wars.
Well.. She went straight out and told me she hated star wars. That hurt. Like a knife stabbing you in the chest. Like the good friend I am, I forgave her. But another problem arose, when we walked into Barnes and Nobles.
 She pointed to a table. "Oh, Look! That stupid star wars stuff you like."
Was it star wars? No. It was star trek. How. can. you. confuse the two!?
 ( Okay, I see how you could possibly confuse the two.. But I am rambling. Deal with it. XD )
I am 'obsessed' with Star Wars.

  Ugg boots and Beanies.

Last year when I begged for some ugg boots, I was blessed with their presence.
Lets just say that when I got them on December 18. I wore nothing else besides ugg boots,
until around April first. Except for the occasional ski boots and ice skating shoes.
No joke. I wore them in the snow, to ride bikes, to church, to Canada, to my friends house, to absolutely every where. I would have continued wearing them past April.. But it just so happens they 'disapeared'.
Only to be found last week, stuffed under a table, in the garage.

Another one of my obsessions are 'beanies. They. are. amazing!
 Actually.. If you want to know about my beanie.. Read this post!
It describes, Everything.
My beanie also randomly 'disapeared'.

The 39 clues.

I am obsessed with reading the 39 clues.
Which is weird seen as how I have only read the first book and half of the second.
I bought the first one, and read half of the second one at a book store.
They have the series at my library, but every time I go there the second book is gone.
I refuse to read the third book without reading the second.
That is against my human code. You. just. don't. do. that.
So I am stuck with memories of Amy and Dan, in the first book.

 Butter, chocolate, cheese, popcorn, and ketchup.

Okay, not all together.
 But these are my condiments. You will not find me eating meat without ketchup.
You will not find me eating bread without gallons of butter.
You will not find me eating anything without cheese.
You will not find me eating popcorn with out chocolate.
And last, but not least. I. Adore. Popcorn.

Butter is not a condiment, its a way of life.
                                  - Kayla Hubbard

Okay, so I slightly exaggerated here ^, but it explains how much I love butter. XD
You learned my deepest food cravings. Congratulations. *Shakes your hand.*

One direction.

I never liked one direction.. But now I started finding my self always singing their songs..
I then decided to read everything about them and listen to all their songs.
Now I guess I could call my self a directioner.
Plus, lets talk about Best Song Ever. Is it not the best song ever? Am I right?
I am just to 'punny'. XD

There you go. All the things I am 'obsessed' with. :)
 Sorry if it was boring.. I know its different from my normal post.. But I enjoyed writing this!
I was on a roll with rambling. Ha ha. :P What are your 'obsessions'?
 I hope you enjoyed this unusual post.
Stay beautifully obsessed.

Happiness.

 There is a funny thing about happiness.
  Happiness can't be bought, but yet it can be given and stolen.
  A trinket that gets borrowed, but never given back.
The hard part is to find it, when your down and on the ground.
 When you haven't seen the light, 'cause there is darkness all around.
 One of the greatest things you can achieve, is to find happiness in 'unhappy' situations.
 If you are truly happy inside, you can give it out.
You can also obtain sadness from a person who is sad, but if your joyfulness is great inside, you can cause even the unhappy to be happy.
Send it to some one else. Like blowing a whisper across the room.
Find it, Give it out, share it, but also have it stolen.

Sometimes I struggle with being happy. I mean, for the most part I am a little blessing sent from god. ( Pfft. Not at all. ) There are just those times where your unhappy and you can't see a reason to be glad. Or when you are sad and you pity your self.  You have the choice whether to be happy or not in life. Its your decision, its your mind frame. When you set your mind to be sad. Why? Why do we actually choose to be down and in the ditch? Of course you will be in situations when its really hard to be happy, but if you try and ask god for help.. You can be happy in the darkest hours of your life.

“People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
                        ―    Abraham Lincoln

                                              set your mind // be happy
