Symbolizism

Between us all we over the years build up character that inevitably is a representation of who we are and/or who we will become. We will soon find through the various mishaps we learn along the way that persistency builds character, not the willingness to let go or back down. There is no such thing as "mistake" every thing and every one is created in this world to symbolize the true importance of emotion. 


It would be un-humane to say that we are emotionless from every thing and every one. That is not reality. Those of my fan base who knows me personally knows that this is the demeanor that I try to portray about myself, but I am going to break this down.


Wether we like to admit to them or not we are what we choose to be, not by fate or by how we are raised... we are what we chose to do with what we were given. Growing towards adulthood we have understood the responsibility, compassion, and attachment to certain things we surround ourselves with; wether this be living in the library to build knowledge, choose to go to the local tea shop every other night to hang with the friends, or booking a ticket to Chicago just to see where the day can go... 


Although some of us may portray ourselves as consistently strong willed, passionate, and focused we all have weaknesses. It is important to reflect that we together can create a better future and better lifestyle. When the continuous force of trying to repel the natural surfaces our own dreams and thoughts become distorted. 


We all stand for something and as someone wise told me, "Be yourself every one else is taken." As simple as this motto is, I try to live up to that. We can continuously do things in order to alter the perception of what others think of us, but intrinsically we can provide, aware, and love others only if we are only being honest with ourselves.

"Its Not About the Money, Money, Money...Forget About the Price Tag"

We adhere to the pleasure and happiness that we are ran by, money. Look at the world around us... every day decisions not necessarily based on merit is in constant deals and deeds to make up our surroundings. We continually persist to the idea that in order to have happiness we must make money.


Then we must questions the thoughts that cross our minds in a given day and the worthiness of the true perplexities that really do make us happy. As much as we would like to put daily decisions on this balance beam and through our own experiences realize that often it is left unchanged. At the end of the day we have to remember that our future emotions and life choices in what we choose to want to be, and who we really are is the most sufficient reason to weigh down a clearer conscious. 


Without our emotions we are robots ran and under control of this inanimate object. It is when we begin to realize that money is attainable by all, and all is judged within the contingency that is what? That is the value in which we believe each distinct object is labeled. When we step away from the power that we have so labeled we begin to realize who we ourselves are and can better learn to understand one another.

Why Must We Wait

Why is it that most often it isn't until a dramatic experience that we exit this world of concentration on solely ourselves. I have yet understood if it is the society that we are raised in or lack of guidance to the understanding of humanity. We wait until someone has passed, until we realize the nth amount of times that we should have spent caring and tending to their needs. Or wait until we are in a car accident to realize that as easy as life can be given, in any instance, can be taken away. But what is the purpose of waiting, when life isn't going to pause at the grasp of this realization. 

We fail to realize that it is only within each of us, individually, that we can start to view a better world for ourselves and our posterity by just "living." Living with the realizations that as time ticks away that there are people dying, emotions to be tended to, a world of endless opportunities; in that we must be thankful... spend the extra time outside during a break at work, realize that if you are already late for work...enjoy the car ride there (we can't change what is already done, but rather change our mentality for the future), sing on the top of your lungs in the shower, give a sincere compliment (jealousy is not an excuse for cruelty), and sometimes just make the time... not only for yourself but to let people in that you may have not otherwise. 

We must step away from this cyclical lifestyle day by day, Here we are not necessarily living but rather "being" in this world that can embrace our singular desires, thoughts, and emotions in the betterment of the majority by sharing our similarities and accepting our differences. It is when we put our guards down of vulnerability that we comprehend that we all are more alike than we think in some way, but the first step is understanding ourself. And as I always say, we must learn to love ourselves before we can learn to love another.

Dear Vulnerability,

We live in this world that is in this constant flux. Where decisions are made more rapidly than sometimes we can decipher its true continuity.Where blurred visions of our future is at the end of this attainable road, but alters like the slides in a classic movie. Where love is a word thrown out amongst many to distinguish value, meaning, consistency... but here is where it is different. 


It's been not to so long that I have visited you last. It's the start to my day as much as I banter and try to make you void you continually come back. I have been told vulnerability is self worth the identifier in allowing people in to this world that I have so long kept distant. Like a magnet I repel those who do not see a similar vision. Those who do not understand, and even some that do. In the hearts of hearts, I have come to realize that love has a true stamp. One in which has been the mirror image when I look in the mirror and reflect on what I see. 


They call me miss independent, too perfect, triple threat... I call it late nights reflecting pasts that no longer can be changed and with some desire to once again grasp on to something I have yet attained since I have let go. It is too often that I wish that I can go back in time. And it is you that has been the ghost of sleepless nights.

Motivation

It has dawned on me today the ramifications into what makes us humane. We have been grown, in my generation, to become selfishly involved into the politics, global and social issues, and life itself. We have built upon the precedent that the strongest come on top and that everything else is second best. We have lost track to whom we are, really. We must realize that we as individuals alone stand as nothing, but built upon together make a union. 


I do not understand, maybe it is that I am still young and naive, the world as it is now. We live in a society where we want so much such as "going green" and conservation of energy. We get upset at government for not doing enough to maintain the world we live in, as we walk past with our picket signs waving "recycle" as we pass paper cups without consideration of picking them up. We want government to solve our world's problems without taking personal responsibility to doing it ourselves. It all starts with us. We continue to go to war trying to spread democracy from country to country without hesitating to the factors that life as we know is becoming dissipated with intolerance and little sympathy of histories mistakes. We can not change the textbooks of our time, but we can alter our perceptions of what it can become.


It becomes all too easy to sit and watch the world pass. To give judgements as we sit at our televisions waiting for the next breaking news. Watching countries fight other countries, and where the word "war" is far too common. As missiles fire and more and more families die we just watch and forget that this is the world we choose to make it. As we send out loved ones out to fight and reflect on pictures they send back we can begin to realize that the world is turning to hatred when the strongest power is love. There are establishing countries that lack food and water and yet instead of trying to seek adequate living for all we are fighting a war in which should enable peace and understanding. 


We far to often seek to help others without trying to understand. I believe, now, we are living in a world with misunderstandings. We all have the same goals of positivity, success,  and love, but we mask them behind our insecurities of fear, but for what? 


We can continuously make excuses to stop ourselves from our biggest goals in life. The soup kitchen you want to volunteer at, travel the world, try new foods, or help other people. But, when does the inside voice finally lose and your heart speak? Why not set time away now for the movements you want to do before they are too late. Life is way to short to sit back wondering when the next good thing in your life is going to appear, it really is. Months, years, its too late... continual movement and process is pressing for more beginnings and that positive spread for hope to others to see. 


Although easier said than done, we need to step away from the constant negativity and realize that it is a lot easier to give in to that continuous cycle, but once set free the world to positivity and enlightenment is attainable. In that, we need to understand each other. Realize that being upset over misunderstandings can lead into unnecessary arguments and exchanges of hatred that never was fully intended. That we all, all over the world, have reason to love and care for one another. That being ourselves in life is what is intended and that sometimes all we need is ourselves to make the initial steps towards happiness to spread the message that we all live in this world together, and we need to stop thinking solely on just our generation but future generations for our childrens' children.
