Speeding Cars

Have you ever looked out the window in a moving vehicle and tried to track the things that pass by with your eyes? The ones far away take longer to pass by, while the ones that are closer seem to fade away instantly. Well that's how life is. Each event is a series of images passing us by like the cars on the highway. We track these moments and distinctly remember them for that split second, but only to see a brand new one. And then theres the times when the vehicle stops and all the images stop fleeting by. These are the moments we stand in awe completely mesmerized from head to toe. And that is when you know that this is not just a speeding car. It's something that you will take every aspect to heart and live on with forever.

The only way to appreciate your place is to go to the bottom.

I find myself disappointed when things don't work out the way I would have liked. But it's not really about how it worked out. I think it's more about how I had the chance and decided to take it. They always say it's better to have loved than never loved at all , right? Well the same concept applies. Doing something is better than doing nothing at all. And if it doesn't work out, well that's why everything happens for a reason. No matter how it ends up, there is a reason it was like that. We only have two way to go for every choice we make. Either we 1) Succeed. or 2) Learn from the past. So I guess nothing can really be good or bad, it just depends how you see it.

Things always seem to change just when the fun begins.


But then again, some things will always stay the same:)

Three Things

That should never be lost:

Honesty;Hope;Peace

That never come back:

Time;Opportunity;words

That are never sure:

Fortune; Success; Dreams

Fighting Quicksand

As I'm currently applying for colleges, I'm starting to realize things. We would all love to have this process be as easy as singing a song on stage one time and becoming a singer. Or perhaps painting a picture and becoming a famous artist? Well that's definitely not the case. I have friends and family to support and help me along the way, but it is essentially me that's going to have to take initiative and work for it. Me who's going to make the change. We all need to stand on our own two feet and overcome our problems. The people we rely on are here right now, but the sad truth of the matter is that they won't always be around here forever. These people will give you something to learn but learning to be independent will help the most in the long run. I've seen way too many times where people end up helpless in a time of need because they have used others as a crutch through life. This makes me feel bad for them because each person has the potential to be independent, but it just depends whether we grow to it or not.

Only For Now

It always seems to be easier to seek what we want, rather than to seek the truth. What we want is a neverending list stretching for miles with all sorts of possibilities. The truth is what lies beneath the illusional facades. As we reach out to grasp what we desire, we ignorantly leave behind the truth. Recognition and money seem to mean everything in this world while we forget about what has always been with us all along. Where have all the simple things gone? The comfort of our friends, company of our family, etc. The way I look at it, getting what we want is not always a good thing. I don't want to forget about what I've always had just to attain the things that seem glorious at the moment. Of course it isn't always bad, but there just has to be a balance between them I guess. By going for my goals, I want to make sure I don't lose myself in the process. For once that happens, I can choose to be who I've turned into or who I really am. So I guess what I'm saying is to keep an eye out for our desires, they could turn into quite a tragedy if taken one step too far.
