Bag lady...

Sometimes the younger generations may associate old age with crankiness, bitterness and pure anger. We are always the first to say, “I’m not going to be like that when I get old,” however, some of us are closer to that than we think. Everyone gets hurt, played and rejected during a lifetime. There are so many things that we go through in life that its sometimes hard to even remember at what point you begin to get so angry. People fail to realize that the smallest things add up right along with the big stuff. Holding on to a grudge from daycare carries on to a bigger grudge in grade school that heaps up with all the other stuff along the way. Anger is like a parasite, it attaches to you in gets all of it little friends to join the party. The things that are the hardest to let go are the most pertinent to let go. I’ll make it simple, forgive and forget before you become one those old angry people you see in the grocery store. Hate is baggage and life is too short to be pissed off all the time.

Dare you to Love me...

After watching this French movie centered around a girl and a boy going through life as a game of dare, it got me to thinking: are we all playing our lives out as a game?? There are times in life when it is necessary to gamble, to take a chance at doing something when we’re not quite sure of what the turn out will be. When it comes to any opportunity or even love we roll the dice in hopes that the numbers will be in our favor. However, how do we know when to stop the game? How do we know to leave well enough alone in order to live in the moment of content? Some may argue that any sign of comfort means that there is now more to strive for than ever, I disagree, of course. Being able to sit in a level of contention doesn’t mean that you have become lazy or your stagnation will lead to your demise. It simply means that at this point you have reached where ever you consider to be your happiest place. I argue that content equals happiness which in my opinion should everyone’s ultimate goal. Too often we get caught up in the money, the fast-life and the game that we lose sight of living life for ourselves. Living life to be happy. I hate games, double-meanings, double-standards, silent gestures and code names. When did life turn into chutes and ladders, candy land and monopoly? When did love become strategic moves, logical words and daring actions? It leads me to believe that no one will let good enough be anymore. That no one is themselves because they are too afraid of getting hurt or too afraid of what someone is will think or plainly to afraid of losing. Afraid of losing because we treat life like a game. But I challenge you to see past all the superficial bullshit and live like you want because in the end the only ones that lose are those that have the warped impression that the world is competition when in reality if your ultimate goal is happiness then the only person in this “game” is YOU.

You're not my Sunshine....

In this day and age it is way too easy to get caught up in thinking about what other people are thinking of us. We sometimes let this interfere with our daily living from what kind of clothes we wear to the way we act. There is nothing wrong with finding your clique, however, when we begin to obsess over obtaining acceptance from our “clique” is when we begin to step into steep waters. The people that think they are being watched wherever they go are severely confused on what’s actually going on. Some people may think that someone who worries about what other people think do so because they have low-self esteem, however, I think the complete opposite. Anyone that genuinely believes they are the center of so many people’s universe has to be some sort of egotistical psycho. If you feel like you need acceptance from other people you’re looking in the wrong direction. Acceptance of one’s self comes from one’s self. I’ll make it simple: you wouldn’t worry as much about what others thought of you if you recognized how seldom they actually do.

Indebted to No One...

Too easily we all seem to under-appreciate the things and people around us. We tend to love them when they’re benefiting us and forget them when they're not. After a while people look at others and the things they do as expectations and when they're not meeting those expectations we jump at them as if they are in the wrong. Someone who has your best interest at heart deserves for you to have theirs in your heart also. People who only want to see you the happiest do not owe anything to you but instead do it out of the love they have for you. Never think anyone is obligated to do anything for you because in the end the only person they are obliged to is themselves. Not even your mother or your father HAS to provide food, shelter, clothing, money and etc but they do so because they care about you and your needs. Keep in mind that anyone that feels that you are not returning the same love and consideration as they have given to you has every right to leave you with what they met you with. Never let someone give and give without you giving something in return because even if there voice isn’t asking for it be sure that their heart is. Don't risk realizing what you have when it's gone. Love those who love you and never take anything for granted.

OCD...

As faulted human beings we all make mistakes. There is no one on this earth that is perfect no matter the hype. Our actions speak volumes for the type of person we are and the decisions that we continually make. People say that you can tell a lot about a person through the friends they keep because it’s always your decision to keep them. If you surround yourself with negative people then you are putting yourself in the position to become just like them. If you continually make the same mistake then after a while it looks as if it is on purpose. Being able to distinguish habitual actions with self-describing actions is the most important thing. For instance, if you leave your socks on the floor everyday that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re the filthiest person ever, it may just be a habit that can be easily broken with implementing a hamper. However, if you find yourself cheating on your spouse continuously whether it is physical or mental then you’re a cheater- no getting around it. You are what you repeatedly do so take caution as to the decisions you make.
