F.Y.F.
There are parenthesis in life that when you look back, seem wonderfully fuzzy. Bits that haunt your mind in impulses, not in any particular order but randomly splendid, as if suggesting it may have been pure fantasy. And you have to ask yourself, was I actually there…and was it really that magical?
The answer whispers its name, ignoring that you can’t afford to veer off into...

The Other Side of Alive
Wandering through the events of this life, one of the hardest things to keep is that spark of naive wonder at the pretty underneath the ugly. Hiding it is the easiest way to prevent the world from so eagerly stomping it out. Concealing it so thoroughly that its existence remains as only a shadow. Until you find that person who sees rather than looks. Who embraces all that you are and the more...

All of Me on Paper
I write because life is too fleeting to get comfortable in our pretty boxes, yet outside our own heads, and hope things stay tidy. No, the only way for me to assure a full and joyful life, minus a cocktail of psycho pills, is to put on my gloves and rummage through my head and heart, past and present, until I discover all I believe and why I believe it. That way, when something happens to unsettle...

dyinginback:
I need to marry my expectations for myself to my idealized self to what I know I ought to be (which all sound to be the same, but are somehow different incarnations). If I can do that, then I can apply your advice. But I feel like I’m close to change, though. At the very least, I feel like I’m class to nullifying these last couple months. If you like yourself, then it sounds like...
Thanks.
loveyourchaos:
Things that used to make me sad, that used to knock me straight onto my ass… yeah, those things don’t phase me anymore. Thanks for making me realize that. I am happy now, so effing happy… invincible, even.
I’ve seen worse, I’ve been through worse. So, kindly, have a nice life; stop being so ignorant and stop trying to destroy other people, if for no other reason, than, one day...

LOVE THIS QUOTE!
There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me… or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don’t fit your idea of who I should be and don’t try to change me to fit...

Keep going...
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists…it is real…it is possible…it’s yours.”

Perspective
We can always look back at how the steps we took brought us to where we are. What we often forget, and more importantly, is that we will one day look back and judge our steps today from somewhere different.

Who do you roll with?
I got asked today how I stay so calm in the cage. I said, “Because my crew is badder than anyone elses, and I only roll four deep.” The guy looks confused so I continue. “See it’s me, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And with a crew like that, what man should I fear?”
