Decides
Every once in a while people step up, they rise above themselves, sometimes they surprise you. Sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes it can push pretty hard, but if you look close enough you find hope, in the words of children and the bars of a song, and in the eyes of someone you love, and if your lucky, and if your the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back...
6,470,818,671
At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world.
Some are running scared.
Some are coming home.
Some tell lies to make it through the day.
Others are just now facing the truth.
Some are evil men, at war with good.
And some are good, struggling with evil.
Six billion people in the world, six billion souls.
And sometimes…all you need is one.
Some are running scared.
Some are coming home.
Some tell lies to make it through the day.

And some are good, struggling with evil.
Six billion people in the world, six billion souls.
And sometimes…all you need is one.
The person you are
Once you lose yourself, you have two choices .. find the person you use to be or lose that person completely because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be .. the person you wanted to be .. the person you are ..
Life
If having things turn out the way you wanted them to is the measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that every day wont be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember it's only in the black of night that you can see the stars & those stars will lead you back home. So dont be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wished for, or maybe you'll get more than you could have ever imagined. Who knows where life will take you...the road is long and in the end the journey is the destination.
Right answers
I know you want some answers, but what is the right answer?
Because there is no answer, its just life.
Because there is no answer, its just life.

Worst Day
Today is by far the worst day of my life.
You know, you think you know someone but they turned out to be the exact opposite of that.
I just can't imagine how i felt towards that person 3 years ago and i still feel the same way.
But the conversation we had today tops every worst day I've ever had.
I guess it's kinda my fault that i didn't actually or totally moved on with my life.
But never the less, they have. which eventually has to be my motive too.
i have never felt so much pain as I'm feeling right now...

Super - Successful Parents
Super-successful parents expect nothing less from their offspring. And when it comes to college, that means the Ivies. It's more than just getting into college, it's setting a course for the rest of your life. And those who aren't legacies are no exception. When parents have sacrificed for their children, what kid would want to let them down?
Family Vs Friends
Everyone knows that you cant choose your family but you can choose your friends. And in a world ruled by bloodlines and bank accounts, it pays to have a pal.
Appearances
What do we say about appearances "they can be deceiving". But most of the time
what you see is what you get.
what you see is what you get.
Finding me...
Sometimes you need to step outside, clear your head and remind yourself of who you are. And where you wanna be. And sometimes you have to venture outside your world in order to find yourself. Right now that's what i am trying to do.

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 cups of coffee
When things in your life seem
almost too much to handle,
when 24 hours in a day is not enough,
remember the mayonnaise jar
and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
he picked up a very large
and empty mayonnaise jar
and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students
if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of
pebbles and poured them into the jar.
He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open
areas between the golf balls.
He then asked
the students again
if the jar was full.
They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand
and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full.
The students responded
with an unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced
two cups of coffee from under the table
and poured the entire contents
into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor,
as the laughter subsided,
"I want you to recognize that
this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things -
God, family, children, health,
friends, and favorite passions --
things that if everything else was lost
and only they remained,
your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter
like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else --
the small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first,"
he continued,
"there is no room for
the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time
and energy on the small stuff,
you will never have room for
the things that are
important to you.
So...
Pay attention to the things
that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.
Play another 18.
There will always be time
to clean the house
and fix the disposal.
"Take care of the golf balls first --
the things that really matter.
Set your priorities.
The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand
and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled.
"I'm glad you asked."
It just goes to show you that no matter how
full your life may seem,
there's always room for
a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

Attempt
I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.
