We
You and I are the reasons we are here; here for each other; but its we that is most important. One cohesive unit, greater than the sum of its parts but by no means perfect. We take on the flaws, like a ship with holes in it that we work together to patch. Its how we nurture each other as we take the hits as we move forth. We will survive; We will make it
Its not when we get there, its how we get...

It goes beyond just a feeling. Its more of a reflex or a sincere reaction. It goes much deeper than our consciousness. A sixth sense we never knew we had.
Our accord with space and time has led us to this moment. We become wrapped comfortably in a blanket of calmness. Its the thoughts that swirl through your mind, fusing together instantaneously, allowing you to see through the haze of...

A single drop
One person can come along and make you question everything. Turn you upside down; full of confusion with no faith to carry you on. You had everything written down in black and white, but now its in colour; a different language; and the pages are bleeding.
The fact that a person can impact your life in such way, willingnessly, without the slightest predisposition; good and bad. So few capable...

Truth
Many try to distort it, fabricate and stretch it to whatever they need. Present it in a way that favors themselves; let no other reap its benefits. Forcibly spread it on themselves like lotion made of libel, convincingly, until nobody knows what to believe.
Social architecture.
Whether you see it or not, truth is the only substance that truly exists.

Throw me a line
Its an incredible feeling to truly mean something to another person. Its much more than just being loved by someone, whether its a best friend, a significant other, or a family member. Love is definitely part of it, but it runs much deeper, almost a spiritual level. Its the vindication, the reason that makes you reflect and realize that your heart is in the right place. The decisions you have...

Fortunate Son
If I can be half the man/father that my father is, I’d consider myself to have lived a life of tremendous achievement. A positively infectious person who has influenced everyone who has been blessed enough to cross his path. To be anything more than that would require divine intervention.
Learn to live your own life first, with respect; before you teach others how to live.

Just admit it
We all get knocked off the horse, it happens. Most of us know just to get back on, and that its just part of life, one of its cycles. And to be plain and simple, it pisses us off. Even those of us that are of stronger character succumb to the emotion. Its frustrating, and there is no way to stop it. Maybe we can ignore some of them, but only for so long. Most of them being petty anyway; never...
+/-
If there is a balance to everything, an up to a down, a bitter to a sweet; then do we need to be able to hate, to be able to love?
Keep in mind this is not hate to its strongest use by any means. Nowhere close to ignorantly running rampant and ruining the lives of others, including our own. Just a strong dislike.
To know what you hate helps you understand yourself. Helps you find that happy...
Proof
Be living proof:
that there are good people;
that you can be happy;
that you can have love;
Be observant, open to experiences

Be somebody
Too much pride in where you’re from will only keep you there. In the end, the world won’t care where you’re from; only where you went, and how you got there.
The easiest thing you can be is yourself. Being yourself often attracts the right kind of people as well. Real people. Your fear of rejection is the same as walking backwards.
Only those with ________, will make it.

Elite
These elitest people that believe they are too good for everything. Every thing they do is gold and so far beyond all of our petty selves. Unfortunately for them, Nobody is the exception to the rule. Its all been done before.
They can keep their shield of ignorance to suppress the hits of reality. That sort of “pride” only cripples them. Allow the real to live and appreciate...
Crazy
Crazy - just a word normal people use to describe people who actually live their life; just to justify their own life’s absence of drive and ambition.

Mirrored
Your outside should be a reflection of your inside. No distortion, no funhouse mirror. True to yourself. Too many people competing their fake exteriors against each other, in some sort of bizarre superficial contest in which no one can win. In fact they end up more unhappy.
We die the way we live, make it worth it.

Canes and crutches
We all need a strong foundation; made up of self-esteem, self-awareness, and the ability to make good decisions. A foundation we can fall back on when reality smacks us. However, as life runs its course our foundation is often tested and stressed; wearing us down.
Those are the moments where we need help. We are feebled and need support; wether it be emotional, monetary, or just somebody to...

Why is it easier to “love” in animate things; cars, songs, food, etc. Its because these things can’t hurt us back. We get exactly what we want out of them, they never change; can never thing for themselves; don’t have their own needs; They always fulfill and satisfy our expectations. People get so attached to some objects that are literally in love, in their mind anyway....

Careless
Its always shocking to see people act to thier own benefit, without a shred of thought for thier surroundings. From actions such as cutting in line at the supermarket to the degree of cutting someone off on the highway and endangering thier life. Even simple things such as saying please and thank you, or leaving your shitty attitude at home so you don’t pass on your troubles to the...

What do you do when you are in trouble? Where do you find comfort? When your whole world crumbles; absolutely no control over anything; who/what do you turn to? Music, hobbies, vices. Some so desperate for relief, turn to drugs. So sightless and so negligent; willing to try any sorbet to drown out the bitter on their palette. Just wanting a taste of normal.
A problematic situation always...

Deep Cut
Its rare the last words you say to a loved one is “I Love You”. Its something we don’t say enough to br honest; sometimes its hard to say, and we know that.
Its even harder to say I Love You knowing they have but a few more moments on this Earth; Its so hard because you’ll never get to tell them again, that I Love You
Its surreal to think where you were several months ago. A completely different state. A dark and ominous one. Skeptic to the very thought of hope; the end of every avenue was a wall made with bricks of positive thinking. Worthless.
But here you are now, where you stand right now, is a much different place. That dark place wasn’t too long ago, but with being so caught up with life you...
there you go
Its the sad reality realizing that most of our life is preoccupied with unimportant things. Time spent not living. Waiting in line; lost; trying to figure out what we are living for. Wishing, wanting, hoping to find a distraction from distractions, to be where we want to be, do what we want to do, even for a brief moment takes ridiculous resources, just to share our life with others. We are...

Literally nothing is going your way; Problems stacked upon problems. Don’t know where you’re going; Don’t know where you’ve been. Absolutely no control over your life. All you can feel, is yourself slowing falling.
Being the most unfortunate person on Earth; Doesn’t mean you can’t be happy
tangled
Phone charger cords, hoses, headphones, string, etc. They get tangled. They have some kind of manufactured, predisposition to tangle themselves. Basically unexplainable. Time consuming; annoying.
The sad part is some of our lives are the same way. Its always something new that we find ourselves tangled in; which may not even be our fault. Just like a pair of iPod headphones, nobody knows...
step step
Being sheltered is surrounding yourself with walls; literally and figuratively. You find yourself enclosed and safe within the walls. To feel so safe and comfortable inside your walls makes you afraid and uncomfortable outside them.
The worst thing you can do is hinder yourself; waste your talent. Possessing all the tools to excel and be successful outside those walls, but never putting an...
off beat
quick and simple:
Success shouldn’t be viewed as what you have gained.
Success should be viewed as what you gave.
Love isn’t about what you would do, to prove it;
Love is about what you wouldn’t do, to lose it
stop.look.listen
People find themselves in unfavorable situations. Someone you know, someone you’ve seen. That odd elder gentleman on the bus? Don’t end up like that guy. Being young and having your whole ahead of you, might as well learn from those who don’t. Obviously everybody is different, as are circumstances, but a lot of that doesn’t matter. People are more alike than they are...

Do something new. Shake the rust off your pulse. Could be small scale, or large scale. Trying a new food; Jumping off of an airplane. The learning process, the experience (both good and bad). The fact that you are living life; becoming a well rounded person.
Push your personal boundaries; stimulate yourself. Grow up
“Why not” is never a reason to do something; Do it for...

Its hard to understand our feelings, let alone others’. We find ourselves fighting our feelings; disgusted at their existence. So bad at times that it gets in the way of living our lives the way we want to.
We must learn to be strong; to tame our feelings, our emotions. Feed off the positive, utilize the negative; become a better person. We all have problems, its the way we deal with...

something to remember
Great family and friends are awesome to have. We lean on them when we need to; but when we are in undesirable situations, they can only do so much. Only you can make it better; only you can rise up and make your life better. We must have the uncommon spirit to laugh it off and remind yourself why you are the most important person in your life.
When everything is said and done; the world has no...

People want you to see them at their best. Its why we dress to impress at clubs and on first dates. Women will get a little more dolled up than usual. You see what people want you to see. Its because we are judged on our imperfections; the scratches; the scuffs. Its the sad reality that we don’t know when we have something good. If you are looking for the bad in someone; an excuse to...

People, for whatever reason, obsess over finding “their purpose in life”. This applies not only to religious folk, but to non-believers as well. While it is a fair question to ask yourself, it is also to fair to ask “do I have a purpose in life?”; The possibility that just...
future(s)
throw out that crystal ball, your future is never set in stone. be smart, be confident. make it for yourself. keep worry to a minimal. make the most of the pivotal moments. keep in mind that bad things can happen for good reasons. its all about how you bounce back.

hey buddy
There are a lot of things you can’t control in life; for better, for worse. Luckily one of the few we can control are the friends we choose. These are the ones who impact our life. Keep the good ones; ditch the bad.
The good are the ones that make your life better every day since you’ve known them; not to say the in-between acquaintances can’t impact your life too, they are...
count your blessings
Problems and complications arise. Thats just how life goes. Typically they aren’t as bad as we see them to be; but when they are, we need to realize these moments define us. We need to realize these defining moments and ask ourselves who am I gonna be?
For the times they aren’t as bad, our brains aren’t thinking clearly. Too many weak minded people saying fml for common and...
good thing/bad thing
Good thing; When true love is blind
Bad thing; When people are blind to true love
a sacrificial love
There exists a large mass of people who feel that there is nothing out there for them. No love to be found. These are the same people who expect things to fall into their lap, as if its their right to experience such. Lamenting on previous failed attempts, on every wailing wind. Instead of seeing some sort of fault within themselves, they arrive at the conclusion that the fault is that love...

simple things
it’s the most diminutive and acute details/events that make or break our lives. it’s the simple things that make the biggest differences. bringing a significant other flowers saying please and thank you; opening a door for someone; it’s what puts people on another level entirely. they are the little things we look for but don’t expect. we are all aware of these tiny windows...
attitude
expectations and hope are different; expectations imply a presumed outcome and thus we add pressure. if we get too unrealistic, and let down, we only hurt ourselves. we must remember that there is a time and place for every need; as we are creating our tomorrows right now
attitude is the most important factor in finding happiness. attitude is a habit, it shapes our life

what is right
Damn those who remain idle; abjuring and enabling iniquity to transpire.
The consequences of doing the right thing should never interfere with an individual’s power to do so; even in a kakistocracy
i'm talking to you
Just some things I’ve learned; Always thought they were common sense
Our body language often determines if we will be believed as a communicator; often more important than what you say
sit across a person; be eye level when possible
indicate the willingness to listen by the manner in which you sit; give the person your attention
touch is an important way we signal our feelings; it is an...
no regrets
People are quick to gloat how their life is lived with no regrets. A badass attitude that seizes all moments and lives life to the fullest. Obviously these pseudo ideals are just the way people cope with their mistakes, to go with their I don’t give a shit attitude. This only hinders their growth. How can you learn from mistakes when you don’t acknowledge making them? Its ok to have...

Which is worse, an individual lacking life skills or an individual with a multitude of talent but chooses mediocrity. The first person exhausting blood and sweat only to live as an American sudra, while the latter having the choice of any opportunity only to choose mediocrity. Is it wrong to choose mediocrity when sky is the limit? Is that considered wasting life and talent? Is it wrong to...

What factory are these “Tin Men” coming from?
busy signal
Why does it seem like only ignorant people are breeding? Morons are just walking around throwing monkey wrenches into the gears of society. Maybe its the over saturation of technology that has made people lazy and dependent; Or maybe they just don’t give a damn. Either way, something is wrong with their brain.
They are just flies that eat up the bullshit they are served .

I came across a quote that had inspired me recently
“You can’t control the wind, you can only control your sails”
We like to think we know ourselves, but we don’t. We are constantly ever changing and irrationally fickle.
Its not til until something unfortunate/fortunate happens in our life. Usually something unfortunate has a bigger impact on us and our behavior, but...

the human flaw
There was a definitive moment in the history of the Earth. This critical moment is when the Human Race developed intelligence. Essentially the beginning of devastation. Humans go from co-existing like our prehistoric brethren to dominating the Earth itself.
Somewhere along the line we developed the urge to consume. Consuming is now part of our nature. We need to consume everything and...

” A man was sent to jail and is isolated from the world. He is being punished for a crime that he committed. He is now trapped in a jail cell for all of eternity, and now he has time to think about what he has done and why he did it. Now he is helpless and all he can do is look outside his cell and think about what he could have been. “
the end
The end. The finish line. A full and complete stop. Everything must come to one; rarely happily ever after. The end makes you look back and reflect on its life cycle. How great the beginning was, the uphill climb in the middle, and the roller coaster drop to rock bottom. Although everything ends, you have one question to answer; Was it worth it..?
