My Little List

When my life was falling apart and all I could think about was how lonely I was and how everyone around me seemed so happy and in love, a dear friend of mine told me to every night before I fall asleep, take a second to write down a quality that I would want in a future partner, that way once I built this list I could start to look for these qualities in people I meet. He said that this list would help me to know when the person is right and worth my time.

I recommend doing this if you are feeling lonely, or you just feel stuck in terms of your love life. It is something simple, yet very reassuring. It’s a small act that gave me hope, and something I wanted to share with all of you. 😊

Pride Analysis

The invisibility of the cracks in the rocks foster the illusion of permanence—a false pride of perfection and durability. If the cracks were obvious, the rocks would appear imperfect, weak and at the mercy of the elements. The poem refers to a stubborn pride, impervious and unfeeling.

The poet is comparing this with the way that a person can be hurt and never show it; but their internal damage is such that at some later date they may suddenly crumble.

The poet chose a seal to catalyze the crack—the most natural and innocuous-seeming creatures, feelings, or things can have an effect when opposed to stubborn elements.

The poet thinks people are rock-like and that people must be adaptable or they, too, will break. Rocks in their motionless state seem safe and people sometimes stagnate under a similar illusion of security.

You have almost certainly known people who seemed to be able to deal with what life threw at them, but then suddenly and unexpectedly ‘went to pieces’. This is what the poem is talking about.

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.

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.”

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…”

Decisions In Life

-Decisions In Life-

One decision can set you on a whole new life course. Think about that for a second… There are several options with each choice we make. Can you think of a time when you wondered what would have happened if you had chosen something different? In an alternate reality, choosing the other option would have created a whole new you with a whole different life path. It is hard to imagine sometimes.

Each decision we make is connected, each choice shapes us into the people we are now. Even one different choice could change our lives completely, even if it is the simplest thing. The smallest choices can have the biggest impacts; more than we can ever know. If you have had a time like this, do you ever wonder if making the other choice would’ve created a better reality then the one you’re in now? Do you have any regrets over that choice?

That leads us into the question of are regrets really real? This sounds like a weird question doesn’t it? You might be thinking “well of course they are real, people have regrets all the time”! However, when you think about regrets, will you know you’ll have them after making a decision? Sometimes, but not always. By regretting a choice will it change the outcome? No. Do you believe everything works out the way it is meant to be? I do.

Having a fear of regrets can hold you back in life. It can prevent you from taking risks and truly living. Instead of worrying about life, just live it! Even if you end up regretting one choice, by living in the moment, you won’t regret your whole life in the end. So, regrets may be real after all, but that doesn’t mean you have to give into them; that is the way I like to think of it.
