Shake the Dust YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE!

This ones for all the people who cant crack a smile EVER. this ones for all the boys who don't dare ask that girl on that date you've been dying to go on. This ones for the Moms who are running away from age, so they dress like teenagers. This ones for the people who Drink, and do drugs for an escape from everything. this ones for the girls who have never even been noticed by guys. this ones for the men who wish thier wives would dress/act their age. This ones for all the teenagers who grew up in a single parent home. This is for the people who dont feel like they've ever been noticed. This ones for all those who act tough even though they want to break out in tears.

I have advise for all you guys....
you only live once. Dont pretend to be someone else. Life is hard, everyone has struggles and trials. thats the whole purpose in life... we learn from our mistakes. our experiences. love yourself. soak it all in. you only live once.

Gandhi

One thing i've been noticing about myself lately is...I keep forgetting to let things go. just recently ive noticed how much of a problem this is for me. for whatever reason, I cant find a way to let things go. I cant move on from it. I cant forget what was said to me, or how people treated me, or how I treated them, or what I may have said to them that might have completely crushed them. Its like my conscious is super sensitive in that area. Im constantly worrying about things and it drives me crazy. I worry about things that shouldnt even matter. That dont matter. Things that Cant ever be taken back or changed. you cant change whats already happened. I dwell on the past. The only thing that gets me back to my right state of mind is when I get thinking about what other problems people have. which is probably terrible but I do it anyways. I could be struggling with something far more worse than this. I tell myself that nobody is perfect, and nobody will ever be perfect. Every single person has their own struggles...When will we own ourselves completely? When will we ever be perfect and not struggle with anything? never. nobody ever completely figures themselves out. Thats just something I need to remember. everyones always going to have their struggles, and trials. we will find ways to eventually get over them, but soon another bump in the road will come. tonight is not the last time I'll see the light. Thats just life for ya... theres no way of ever getting around it. so....enjoy the ride!

Jealous

Im jealous of Still I Rise by Maya Angelou. Why? because it has voice! I dont think i really have a voice. I honestly try to but I dont know if I succeed. Im also jealous of the fact that this poem is so honest. so blunt, but yet it still has humor. It has confidence. Its so clever!  Its hard to grasp being so honest, blunt, being confident, clever, but yet still having humor. JEALOUS of this poem. I love this poem. I love it!

Love LOVE.

The very first thing that pops into my head...Love is painful. you put yourself out there,sometimes get completely humiliated by trying too hard. you are shut down time and time again. playing the stupid games...its exhausting. but eventually you find that person who you dont have to try to impress. who you arent embarrased around EVER. you wont get shut down anymore, or play those retarded games because they honestly, truly, sincerely love you. they would do anything for you at any time. they simply make you happy. make you wanna be a better person. yes. love is painful. but everyone needs it. everyone wants it. let love find you, dont search for it.  love love. embrace it.

Life's too short...BE YOURSELF!

It's amazing how much our minds change. Maybe its just me? I was looking back on some writing prompts i wrote not too long ago. Seriously? i laughed at it. Its amazing how in a moment you can feel so passionate about something, but once it settles...its really not all you made it out to be. After realizing this it got me thinking about my passed. how things mattered so much to me at that specific time,but now i could care less. I used to care what i looked like 24/7, who I hung out with, What my high school status was. Why did I care so much about those things? Its because i thought everyone else cared about it. I've realized that it doenst matter how i look all the time. Who my friends are. What people think about me. I just need to make myself happy. Look like hell sometimes! who cares! Am I really hanging out with people who make me happy? Life is too short. spend time with people who you actually want to spend time with. who make me happy. Dont pretend to be someone you arent. you have noone to impress but me. people are gonna love me for me! why have people fall in love with someone who really isnt you? NO POINT! dont do it! so gosh dang it, be yourself! its gonna make life a heck of a lot easier and more enjoyable!
