I see you with your palms in your pants but me, see me, I got the world in my hands.

009. And walls are built for us to go around. Or maybe, for us to be stopped in our tracks.

You're welcome for the longest blog title I could come up with in the history of my blog titles.



Not much to say. Its been a bummer of a two weeks. Thats for sure. It had its up points for a good two days...and then fell short again...and continues with the pattern. I cant complain about it all though. I'm not saying the whole day is bad. Just the general feeling of the end of it. Creating a beautiful day is much easier said than done. And in the end, I have learned oh so recently, the only things that matter are what we do..not what we say. For words are just words unless accompanied by works. Quote me because I've already claimed that line in a poem I conjured up about three weeks ago. Tayy claims im a buddhist for that line. I believe I'm on a straight path to getting there..but not there quite yet. I have the right mindset.

I have a new baby cousin. Congrats Dannnn. =]


And in closing..something I wrote a while back...

Thomas Jefferson was the smartest man of his time. He told us that we are givin life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Never once did he say life, liberty, and happiness. Why did he choose to put the word "pursuit" in the beginning? Why was he so brilliant in knowing that the future would hold so true for this statement? People dont understand the meaning of the statement because it has been repeated over and over and become embedded into our brains so we dont have to know the true meaning. Thomas Jefferson knew that we are gifted with life. We hold liberty because of where we live. Yet..happiness...the one thing people long for in their entire lives...is a search. This search happens daily without anyone actually knowing its going on. What makes one most happy? Money? Relationships? Family? Friends? Sex? Material? Its all relavent under one statement: we cannot be just gifted any of these things. People must work for money. Relationships take time and patience. Family is a battle with most and a gift if it ends up running smoothly. Friends? They are a battle constantly. Sex is a game that people play. Materials have taken over society. This longing for happiness is never gifted down. And maybe...just maybe...no one's meant to be happy...without work. Better yet...maybe...some just arent meant for that...if they arent willing to work. If they arent willing to sacrifice part of themselves in some way to make the happiness come true. Our past was right....pursuit is a brilliant word...to come before happiness.




You've put up a wall that I just cant tear down. At this point...I dont want to tear it down anymore even if I had the chance. I'm doing the only thing I can do now. Accepting it.


Aaaand because pictures are better than words at times:
