Pride

I tell you, even rocks crack,

and not because of age.

For years they lie on thier backs

in the heat and the cold,

so many years,

it almost seems peaceful.

They dont move, so the cracks stay hidden.

A kind of pride.

Years pass over them, waiting.

Whoever is going to shatter them

Hasn’t come yet.

And so the moss flourishes, the seaweed Whips around,

the sea pushes through and rolls back—

The rocks seem motionless.

Till a little seal comes to rub against them,

comes and goes away.

And suddently the rock has an open wound.

I told you, when rocks break, it happens by surprise.

And people, too.

Old Friends

You can’t make old friends.

When I heard this it really hit me deep. I didn’t expect such power from such a simple phrase. These five words really made me think… You. Can’t. Make. Old. Friends… It is very true.

So, cherish the relationships you have, for old friends can never be replaced. Old friends are a part of our childhood, our memories; old friends are the ones who’ve shaped us, who’ve grown with us. You might be able to make new friends, but you’ll never forget the old friends you’ve had along the way.

How We See the World

“We don’t see the world as it is, we see the world as we are.

We encounter only our representations of the world.

And we must change ourselves to change our world.”

A Simple Rule

 “The simple rule to making someone happy is to be happy yourself. Being happy is contagious and people in your presence will automatically feel similar to you. If you’re happy about life, then the people around you will want to have you around them as well. If you’re always down, depressed or angry, then you are making yourself very hard to love.”

That Girl Over There.. Yeah Her.. She’s Just As Lonely As You

A lot of people are just as lonely as you are, believe it or not.

With loneliness, we tend to forget about how a lot of people struggle with it at some point in their lives. Whether it be the broken down 15 year old girl who is just figuring out love and trying not to get her heart broken, or the college boy who misses his friends and family and tries to hide his pain with a big smile and goofy antics, or the mom who is stuck in a loveless marriage afraid of what her life would be like without the routine she’s known for so long.

Loneliness is something we all share; as humans we long for that connection. And when we don’t have that connection, especially when we watch others that do have it, it can become overwhelming and saddening. Loneliness can come in many different forms, such as the small moments where we feel alone or the more serious and longer periods of sadness that can lead to worse things.

If I’m being honest here, I don’t know how to fix loneliness, rather you can’t really “fix” it in the first place; there is just simply nothing that I can tell you that is going to “fix” your loneliness. However, even if I don’t know your exact situation, what I can do is tell you that I understand what it is like. And from my experience, when you know someone that is struggling with loneliness or even just someone that you’ve noticed is a little down lately, just make an effort to talk to them- AND HUGS! I think some of the most supportive and helpful things I’ve ever received were hugs from people who I knew understood.

It Gets Hard Sometimes :(

You know, it’s hard sometimes to watch everyone around you be happy while you’re just sort-of there. All you want is someone to touch, to talk to, to laugh with… someone to love, for someone to love you. You are stuck watching everyone around you have the one thing you’ve always wanted.

WORDS OF WISDOM:

“A lot of personal worries and disappointments begin from making comparisons with others. And you’re destined to lose that challenge because of one major reason. You know all about yourself, your bad and good sides, your fortunes and misfortunes etc. BUT YOU KNOW ALMOST NOTHING ABOUT THEM. That makes you lose and feel disappointed. You see only the good side of these couple’s relationships, but you know nothing about the darkest sides of their bond. Who knows, maybe, if you knew that, you’d be very surprised and think otherwise…”

Someday…

Sometimes you just have to hold onto the belief that everything works out the way it’s suppose to. ❤

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
— Marilyn Monroe

“Someday, everything will make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, be strong and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.”
— John Mayer
