Stronger Than Ever Before

It's not the people in this world who are famous and earning millions who amaze me. In fact, it's just ordinary people like you and me. It's the ones who have gone through so much in their lifetime, yet still have the willpower to keep going strong as ever. Where I have faced nothing and feel the need to give up at times. These people are so determined and strong. I wish I had that. I really do. Despite everything they have suffered, they look at life in the simplest way and be open to all sorts of things. While I hesitate and worry when I have not come close to anything in comparison. This really shows me determination. These people are so unique. They refresh my faith and prove to me that life goes on. We fall a countless number of times but only to pick ourselves up and learn from the mistake. Looking at these people I can't help but to wonder why things play out the way they do. Everything happens for a reason, right? No one said all our days would be rays of sunshine. There will always be laughter with sorrow. Times of pain and times of joy. But I look at it this way, we are dealt with all kinds of different situations. Many times we find ourselves standing at a fork in the road with trembling hands unsure what to do. No matter what it is though, anytime I am given a certain situation, I remember I was dealt with it for one single reason. I am meant to get through it.

It Doesn't Matter

You know those rags to riches stories we all hear about? Well it doesn't matter whether you live out of a shopping cart or live in a mansion owning 25 cars. It doesn't matter if you're a striving genius or failing school. If you can find the inspiration and believe you have the talents, then everything else is just an accessory. The places you may end up are countless. It's the person who creates the horizon.

Express, don't assume.

There's so much going on in our lives that we often forget the little things in life. Birthdays, anniversaries, the first snow, the sun's warmth on a cold morning, the tiny gestures that send chills down our spine. As humans it seems we're programmed to automatically grow close to a select few and share all our dissatisfactions with those people, rather than showing our reasons for contentness. With our lives constantly keeping us on the move, we often forget how good it makes us feel to receive a compliment or to hear someone is proud of you. At times, we need this appreciation to push us forward and excel, while sometimes it just keeps us happy inside. As relationships prosper and we tend to grow closer, we forget to celebrate the people we love who have kept us happy for this long and got us to this point in our life. We easily take them for granted and assume they know how much we appreciate them, but do they really? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. But I do know that it feels great when your told you are. So don't assume, they may have no idea. Make an effort, go out of your way, you never know how much of an impact you may make on a person. It's a great feeling we all know and love. So remember. Express, don't assume.

A game we call Charades

People are always so complicated. Why can't it just be as simple as being required to wear a stamp on our forehead revealing who we really are? We put on a mask and play this game of "charades" just to be liked and accepted by our surroundings. While doing this, we get so into the game we tend to lose ourself. After a certain point, it seems nearly impossible to ever find ourselves and return back to the old us, the real being. We do this because we fear the opinions of others and the judgement they may form. It makes no sense though if you think about it. Is it really all worth it? If we play this game long enough and you end up winning, I guarantee you will never quit. No one will ever know your secret, as long as you can bear it within. Just not my thing I guess. It is unnecessary and unnacceptable for anyone to tell me who I am just to make me play. I won't give in to such a silly plan in order to lose myself and make you happy. We just aren't that simple.

Welcome To Life

You know how we always hear people saying " I wish I was younger" ? Well of course we do. Life's just easier that way right? Myself included, I also want to be younger, but probably not for the same reasons you thought. I used to be able to stand up for what I believed in without giving a second thought. I could take whatever actions I wanted and never look back. What was I losing? Nothing at all. When a child makes a wrong move, everything's okay. It's not a big deal and no one even thinks of criticizing him/her. The younger we are, we simply say things as we mean it from the moment the thought popped into our heads to the second they leave our lips. So how come as we get older it takes a lot more than a second for these words to be spoken? Everything only seems to get harder as we get older. School, work, impressions, parents, everything. Constantly changing whether we decide to go with it or not. Welcome to life.

So True

I just love this . It seems to encompass the truth on our common philosophy of living that we forget how unique it really is.

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."

- Oscar Wilde
