Alive


Sometimes it is better to bleed than to remain unscathed. Covered literally from head to toe in bruises, cuts, acne, bumps, ETC makes you human. People often say that pain is what makes you feel something, I disagree. I believe that it is the aftermath of that pain that makes you feel like you are living, like "shit, that sucked". Even things that don't leave a scar or a bruise, something positive like a memory or a picture; they are what makes us feel. It is the experiences I have lived out that make me hurt, smile, laugh, cry and feel alive.

When we feel... for lack of a better word, depressed, we allow those experiences that make us so alive in turn make us feel dead. The wrath comes from our souls being crushed and a loss of faith. \Faith in a higher power, faith in a loved one, faith in yourself.

Having faith in something or someone including yourself will turn your bruises into blessings and your scars into smiles. :)

Imagine a world with no tears, war, heartache, death. Although it may sound like a perfect world, we wouldn't feel. The pain helps us appriciate the good in life. The chance to make it what you want happens every morning when you wake. So it is with you... :)

redonkulous!

Working my ass off these past 5 days. Wow. Sickness has overcome me like the smell of grandma perfume. Reminding myself to breathe. Ahhh

How I used to manage so much in my world and suddenly I am overwhelmed. Constantly at battle with myself. My two very distinct personalities attack each other at times that they should be working cohesivley together.

I know it seems as though everything in your personal universe is against you. This is a reminder that it is not true. You are in control more than you think. Only you can control your own actions, and how you react to others actions. How you react is how your day will go. Mind over matter.

Well I leave you with amazing song lyrics from Pearl Jam, classic american artists. I envy them and the life that they have had making music. The times certainly have changed, doing what you love just isnt as easy anymore. How I wish that I could live on the road making music and having people love it, 60's status. Tonight I will dream of 1967 and seeing live music.



AMEN
