My Teenage Dream


I think Katy Perry has a warped idea of what the Teenage Dream really is.

For me, at least, I am happy with knowing that:
 
 I am forgiven and loved by the God who made this universe.

I am loved by family and true friends who will stick beside me, no matter what.


I am blessed with a beautiful life full of crazy moments, laughter, hugs and heart to heart talks with people I love.

 
 I live in a country where small bits of freedom are still free.
 
I can sing and dance and laugh and my friends will never make fun of me.


SO true! :D
 
 Trusting that God has my man somewhere out there right now.
 
 
 This is MY Teenage Dream.

First off, I love Katy Perry. A lot. And I love that song. =)

But my teenage dream/life is much different. :-)

Sami said...

WOOO! I believe that is my teenage dream as well Mrs Raquel! I dislike Katy Perry very much she has a mixed mind or something?

I love this post- my teenage dream is pretty much the same. :) A few minutes ago I was just thinking about it, because on TV I heard her song come on for a toddler clothing commercial... I mean, seriously?

Those were awesome pictures! I loved them.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Katy Perry is insane. Like lost her marbles. ;)

I enjoyed this post, dude!! You have an amazing dream! I'm confident the rest of your teen years will be amazing! Don't waste 'em, cuz I'm on my last one and I'm starting to look back on them with a bit of regret. Haha, but don't worry. Sounds like you've had amazing teens years. God bless you and your life. Have a good day!! :D

I like that song, (I am a Christian) i don't really listen to it that much because of her idea of the teenage dream. It's inappropriate, and so not true. at least for me!

I completely agree with you!

Sierra said...

Your teenage dream is much like mine. Katy Perry certainly has a...different approach to life, but all the more reason to pray for her. But I disagree with her song very much.
I just found your blog, and have decided to follow. May God bless you as you further His kingdom!

This was crazy delightful and true - love it. :)

Emily said...

I agree with your Teenage Dream. I actually just heard Katy Perry's Teenage Dream on the radio. And you're right, it's warped...

I absolutely love the "staying mad at your BFF only for a short time because you have important stuff to tell them"!!! Oh goodness, that is so true... haha

Marie Danielle said...

Your teenage dream is a much more appropriate one :-) Katy Perry is a little messed up IMO!

I must admit, I dislike Katy Perry. I've never really liked her as a person. But, I really love this song :)
This is basically my teenage dream also. Thanks so much for sharing, Raquel!

Much Love,

This is so sweet, and so true, Raquel! <3 Katy Perry is a bit mixed up, in my opinion.

Sierra said...

Although she has a good voice I think her lyrics could be better directed :P I love those two about friends...aren't they just the very best? LOVE this post Miss Raquel :) Sierra
Keep Growing Beautiful♥ (Cause You Are!)

Rachel said...

Lovely post! Maybe you should make a parody of Teenage Dream, yours would sell better :)

Really sweet post, Raquel. I LOVE your new look. It is so fresh-looking. =) It is always fun to do a re-design (IMO!).

samarah said...

lovely post! I've never heard that song by Katy Perry but I know nothing compares to living and loving Christ, having the best family and friends ever and those little things that make me happy :)

p.s. I love your new blog look!
