Just looking back

today, i began to look back on my life and pick out what i forced myself to become, what i forced myself to live by because i wanted to fit into society and be loved by my parents.

how i fought against everything but inside worried more and more that i was never for anything.

griping isn't the same as creating something; rebelling isn't rebuilding; riduculing isn't replacing.

i began to pick and take the world apart....but became lost within myself and didn't know what to do with the pieces.

this generation needs to realize that our making fun of things isn't making the world any better...we spend so much time judging what other people created that we've created very, very little of our own.

i realized that i used rebellion as a way to hide out. we use criticism as a fake participation.

its incredibly depressing in a way. but once we're aware and doing something about it, the only way we can go is up.

just do it, and look up

Natural appreciation

The evening air flows through the trees
Cools my face with a fresh breeze

A great tree stands alone
Its bark ancient
It looks down from its highest branches
And remembers the roots that gave it life

At night, stars become gods
Clouds become imagination and inspiration
For artists and poets alike

The great volcano looms in the distance, half hidden by clouds
Almost invisible as the night blankets it

The lights flicker on
One by one
Life so distant yet so bright

Beauty that touches all senses
The taste of cool fresh air
The touch of the eastern winds
The sight of tranquility and peace
The sound of the wind through leaves and songs through birds

The night touches the soul
Breathes memories and lifts dreams

when you begin to..

figure out what makes you feel good, what makes you smile

you can't have too much because then it become the "same 'ol same 'ol" right?

that's what we would think but....you should just learn to appreciate it and accept it as is. and there will never be a bland moment

the situations, experiences, people and feelings that encompass and fulfill you; should inspire you, forever moving forward, always changing for the better because if we just digress...might as well slap a mickey mouse diaper on.

euhporia.

not even kidding. :]

i dont remember the last time i felt so free and genuinely energetic

The saying...

"Grace under pressure" has been running through my mind a lot recently..

if you've been stuck in a rut, or some sort of HOLE (?) i hope this will help you out...
we all have our ups and downs but its the way that we carry ourselves throughout the whole ordeal that will make it a success or failure.

if youre getting to know someone as a friend, girlfriend/boyfriend, president...you need to focus on them being in stressful situations which is exactly when they are 100% themselves.

for example, if you have a deadline for a 2,000 POINT project (tad exagg.) and you barely started on it are you going to FREEAKKK out and be all dramatic or just...put your head into it and get it finished to the best of your ability? which is basically all that parents/teachers care about

this all sounds a bit bland but its been floating around in my mind, it all makes total sense.
so the next time you feel like punching someones head or screaming at the top of your lungs just remember "Grace under Pressure" count to 3 and let all the emotions fly away

Once you realize..

how people honestly do NOT care you will be so much happier and more comfortable.

u.b.u. and i.b.me. you knoww?

If you think back at all the times when you truly were yourself, no inhibitions, no secrets, no insecurities, i will bet my last cup of mango juice that you felt good about yourself and you had fun!

and you weren't asking yourself "what if.." or saying "i should have.."

"the ones that matter don't mind, and the ones that don't mind matter" :D:D

so just be yourself please, you will see life in a different way, you will be happier you will feel like life is worth living because you are actually showing the world what you're made of and what's on your mind, you will put a smile on people's faces.

"we are all ordinary people, so this time we'll take it slow"

even though people don't take the honest time to get to know someone, what about you doing that to someone else and seeing the difference, you probably have no idea what im talking about...but the next time you meet someone give them a chance, they could be your next best friend, girl friend, boyfriend, mentor, soul sister

I guess what im trying to say is...be patient, be simple, be happy...be you.

not my best blog but you get it i hope :D

why are humans

So quick to judge? One look at a person and they assume the absolute worst or best.

maybe its just human nature to think in extremes, but personally i'd "rather pick flowers than fights" that did NOT make sense but im listening to Owl City and thought it was cute :}

hmm..You never truly understand someone, If you don't even understand yourself, who the hell are you to judge someone off of a frown theyre wearing or a rumpled shirt?...

like this weather, we're all shady when it comes to accepting people for they truly are. Indeed, not everyone is going to get along, not everyone is going to like or appreciate each other but, if we look at someone like theyre going to be your next best friend wouldnt that be a step in the right direction?

maybe im just too optimistic for the outside world?

"The stars lean down to kiss you And I lie awake and miss you Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere" ♥wl City :D
