A Writers World…You are born into this world with nothing except the binding love that brought you here in the first place.  You have no expectations, morals, values, or ideas about what life will throw at you in the years to come. Life is a funny old game, you roll the dice and take your chances, and other times people roll the dice for you and make the decisions for you.  But in the end remember that you can trust no one but yourself- remember TRUST IS EARNED never…given. Do what you truly feel deep inside is the right thing for you, but don’t plan every little last detail.  The most amazing thing about life is not knowing what is around the next corner, I love waking up in the morning not knowing who I will meet or what will happen.  You have to except the fact that what you plan does not turn out to be what you planned. So plan nothing in life except how not to plan things, because human nature is to plan.

Dream about the future but remember to dream is to learn, to learn is to gain knowledge, knowledge is power, power is nothing without control, so he who controls the dreaming process has the ultimate power.

You will spend half your life searching for the other half of your life, when you find them your life will be complete. You will then wonder to yourself why I didn’t meet this person earlier and where they were all these years. Ironically that person has been there all along with you, right in front of you but you just didn’t notice them.  The truth is they too were searching for you but when your paths cross at the right moment in time is what they refer to as love.  The power of love is a curious thing, it makes a one man weep but makes another man sing. Use that love to build a powerful relationship one that will last a lifetime.  Never hurt anyone’s heart, be honest and truthful.  Respect people for who they are and for what they are.

Enjoy life for what it is, grab every opportunity that comes your way, there is nothing worse than thinking about what life could have been if you only did this or that.  Experience everything for your self.  When doing things always remember, you will never survive unless you go a little crazy.

Time is something that you can not stop, control or freeze and in return it will take your beauty away, but life has stages and you inevitably have to move up in life and broaden your horizons this is how one gains wisdom. Wisdom comes with age use that wisdom to guide others and talk them through things you have experienced in your life.  Helping people is a gift which everyone has but only a very few use, utilize that gift and it will make you feel better as a person.

Years from now when you are old and grey in your bed, you will look back in your life hopefully with no regrets and you should feel that you have lived a respectable and fulfilling life.  If there is one thing you take away from all that I have told you, I hope you remember this in the back of your mind.   All you have to do is decide what to do with the time that has been given to you because every moment in life is a chance.

I am the most optimistic pessimist you will ever meet. Meaning, in a situation I will most likely expect the worst to happen. I think that if you expect the worst, if even something small yet good happens you have a reason to be happy, but if the worst does happen you can’t be disappointed. But I add the ‘optimistic’ because deep down, I’m always hoping for something amazing to happen. Majority of the time I am pretty optimistic! I can’t lie – God is awesome and has a plan like no other for His Children. I like the quote ”Hope for the best and expect the worst, because life’s not a movie, it’s all unrehearsed.” (Optimistic pessimist from Paramore song as well and seemed fitting). Other than that, I’m just a 24-year-old life long learner. Currently I have a passion to learn Spanish, ever since I was a kid I wanted to learn this language. I had family that can speak it here and there and I was the outsider. Being Canadian I know I should be fluent in French – but sadly that is not the case. So that is one of my goals.

Having more time has given me the opportunity to do things that I love doing – like learning a new language, reading for fun, watching television, movies! I love it.

Over the past year, I’ve learned that mistakes can actually make your life better! We live in a flawed world, so we’ve got to make the most of these imperfections. Today I had an excellent reminder on how my mistakes have improved my life….but that’s for a LIVEJOURNAL post…for a another day.

I’m glad I can use this space to share my writings to the world, and hopefully make my life more bearable for me to understand – and how I can share my experiences to those I converse with.

let’s ignore eachother and pretend the other doesnt exist.but deep down, we know it wasnt supposed to go like this

Have you ever sat and contemplated on who’s really in control of your life? In all honesty and truth, none of us is in 100% complete control of our lives. We all have to answer to some higher authority, or authorities. We don’t do whatever we please whenever we please however we please, and for those that do, they still do it under terms that are convenient for others, or they face consequences. We all know this. But I’m not exactly talking about that kind of control. I’m talking about the subliminal underlining control that most people don’t recognize as control.

The control I’m talking about, is society’s control over the individuals that exist within that society. This breaks down to countries, provinces, states, cities, communities, online, companies, and even our own small groups of friends that we exist under. The stakes are high, conform and obey this control, or be viewed as “anti-social” or an “outcast.”♥

How does one see if they are under control? Well I’ve noticed several aspects of life in which people are highly under control of society’s invisible hand. If you refuse to wear a certain brand name, not because you don’t like the styles they come out with, but because most people in your group don’t like it, you’re not in control. If you buy the latest pair of shoes as soon as they come out, whether or not you think they look nice, but because of the brand name, you’re not in control. If you insult a particular group of people, not because you have anything against them, but because the group around you has negative sentiments towards them, you’re not in control. If you dislike someone because of what others have said to you, you’re not in control. You’re feelings are chosen for you, not by you.

People often proclaim that they “take orders from no one,” when in reality they take orders from everyone. All knowledge is attained, all opinion is attained, all action is attained. The way people dress, the way people talk, the way they walk, how they carry themselves, is all a predisposition. Granted we all add a unique twist and a bit of individuality to it, but it’s still generated from a larger scheme of things. The only true individuals who may be viewed as in control of themselves, are the antisocial, who are still under some control.

I think if anything this train of thought refelects me growing up – and where people sought out being different wasn’t really different. They still walked that line to a paticular group. I’m glad I”m much older and don’t have to witness the lame attempts to be “different”. Worry about your ownself and seek out who you really want to be in this world.

Ever wonder what it would be like if someone could read your mind? Your very next word you were about to say? know your deepest thoughts and darkest of all secrets? I sometimes think about this randomly every once in a while as to how stressful my life would become if that was the case. I can’t even begin to imagine what it would be like. One thing I do know for sure is that I would totally be screwed coz I do not want ppl to know what I am thinking half the time coz it will get me into trouble, and raise issues what we dont’ wanna get involved in.

What about you? Would you like people to be able to read your mind? Why? Why not? You think you would want to know what the other person is thinking about? Why? Why not?
