Something so amazing, so beautiful and natural is destroyed in seconds. Mere seconds. Life is so delicate, so fragile. It's something we take for granted every day. All it takes is one bus, one stumble, one accident and we are wiped from the land of the living. Seconds. We are china dolls, we can fall and smash into a million tiny fragments. We are like flames of candles, one gust of wind can extinguish out light.
Ok, I am sounding very very morbid I know but I just got thinking how things can be there one second and gone the next. And I realised how it related to us as people. People die. Its a sad, fucked up fact that nobody can change. Some go old, some are taken by chance, but in the end, we all end up dead.
What counts is how we spend our lives. I for one plan on leaving behind a legacy. I will regret very little and love fiercely. I'm gonna make my mark on this crazy place we call earth. And I think everyone should aspire to do that. Not to simply cruise by in life on autopilot but actually live and love. Life can be taken at literally any second so I want to be able to go at any second, being happy with the life I lived.
A morbid short one this time my darlings!
MWAH!

Perception
What is right? And what exactly is wrong? What I consider right may seem outrageous to you. And what you consider right may seem outrageous to me. It is all a matter of perception when it comes to it.
When you think about us, most of us think ourselves to be right, even if others deem us wrong. I think that perhaps this is the reason for most of our world's conflicts.
Most people go out to do what they see right, even if others see it as evil. We all have our own views. Some people go out, and kill countless innocents thinking that they are doing right, thinking they are contributing to the "greater good" when in reality what they are doing is downright crazy (in my opinion),
But in reality there aren't many people out there that are actually evil. Corrupt yes. Damaged yes. Crazed most likely but in their minds they see what their doing to be right.
Even Hitler. I know, I know he was "evil" but do you think he thought of himself that way? In his deranged mind he saw what he was doing was right and was helping the greater good. In reality it was a mass genocide that destroyed so many lives, for countless generations. I can see that it was wrong, I'm sure you can see it was wrong but he honestly thought he was doing right.
It is all a matter of perception.
Not many wars are one sided. Both sides are fighting for their own cause thinking they are right, but in the end it will be the side that won that ends up being "right" and it will be written down in history that they were right.
Even the most innocent of actions can end up in disaster. The greatest harm can result from the best intentions. If you meet a begger on the street who insists he needs the money to feed his family, you will probably give him the money, well if you are kind of heart. But the begger could then go and use that money to get drunk, get in a fight and in a fit of lunacy kill a man. The man being murdered is not your fault, but the harm did spring forth from your good intentions. If you had instead used the money to buy the man food the murder would never have occurred.
In a world as diverse as ours, with so many people and so many cultures who can really dictate what is really right and what really is wrong.
All we can do is stick to our guns I guess, and try not to judge others to harshly by their actions.
Giving you something to think about from Spain.
That's All For Now My Darlings!
Mwah!

The Yellow Wood
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. -Robert Frost
As the trees shed there leaves this fall, I too must shed mine. The strong trunk, the branches and the roots remain, but the leaves must go.
Some people are like leaves on a tree. When autumn comes they show their true colors, before falling from the top and the friendship decays. They become nothing but a mere memory. And when the time comes when you need them the most, when the splintering cold and darkness of winter rolls in they are nowhere to be seen.
What you are left with is the strong trunk, and the roots. The people that matter. This is your support system, this is what sustains you. These are the people who will never, ever leave you. True friends.
Autumn has always been a big time of transition for me, and this year more than ever. A fresh start is needed and a fresh start will be had with the help of college life. This summer I found out what really matters, and who really, really matters to me. I wouldn't let them go for the world.
This autumn before college and school starts again take a step back and assess everything. Look at the people in your life and figure out who are the leaves and who are the branches. I'm not saying you should drop the people you may see as leaves, but just be weary. If you feel unhappy with your life use September as a fresh start. Let this new school year be a launching bad for the life you want.
Fuck New Year's. September is the time for change.
That's All For Now My Darlings!

The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth
The truth, laid as it is, untainted by lies and corruption is still subject to debate. The way I see it the truth is like a piece of abstract art, or a poem, it is all a matter od perspective. The truth is a game of perspective.
You can show somebody the truth but there is no guarantee that they will see it for what it is. I read somewhere that people are willing to believe anything; if they want it to be true, or if they fear it is true. The truth is much like this. People will look at it, listen to it and proclaim that it isn’t the truth because they don’t want to believe it, or can’t see it.
Hearing the truth about your own flaws is much like this. When you confront someone and tell them what you think, as rational and logical as your argument may be they may not see your point at all. When certain events unfold people take from them what they will. They will see it as they want to.
This is why I see the truth to be like an abstract piece of art. A painting is a painting no matter who it is viewed by. The colors, the subject matter, the methods used in the painting are all the same. But when people see it they tie in their own thoughts, opinions and experiences into it. What I might see to be the true meaning of a painting may be totally different to what you see. Much like a poem, the same words, rhyming schemes and techniques that were used in the production of the poem are the same no matter who is reading it. But despite the words being the same, people take them to mean a million different things.
The truth is impossible to find when people still lie to themselves.
That’s All For Now My Darlings! ;)

Yours
A touch,
A smile,
A glance,
My breath is stolen,
With my heart.
One second,
One moment,
One kiss,
I’m captivated,
I’m taken,
Stolen,
Yours.

Pedestals
When you look at something too closely it becomes a blur.
When you stand to close to something you can’t see the whole thing.
People are much the same of this. When some people are too close to somebody they end up being biased. They see them through rose tinted glasses. Nothing that person does could possibly be bad or wrong. They couldn’t possibly do anything wrong. They are perfect. They are angels.
This isn’t love, this is infatuation. Real love isn’t about holding somebody up on a pedestal it’s about loving them with their faults. Knowing that the person can be capable of doing wrong. Knowing that they are human. That is love. It’s love because you love the person wholly. You are not ignoring the bad parts or in denial about them.
Sometimes it takes a fight and a falling out for you to realize what a person is really like. When you take a step back you see the whole person, warts and all. And if you like them all the same good, at least now your not staying in the dark about what they are really like. You’re not blinded by the light. But other times you wonder what the hell you saw in that person in the first place.
That’s All For Now My Darlings!

Toxic
That girl is poison baby poison.
Friendships, relationships, cruiseships … scratch the last on but each one of these “ships” ought to be balances right? Well sometimes, a lot of the time they aren’t. It’s a game of give and take, but a lot of people just seem to want to take, and take, and take. And then there are those of us who are the givers the ones that end up taking the shit.
Some relationships like that are just toxic. And some of us are suckers for forgiveness and second chances. How many times does it take before we know we should get the hell out? How many times must the poison make us ill before we learn not to go near it? How many times does one person have to hurt us before we can justify abandoning “ship”?
This is how i see it; When you can recognize that the relationship is bad. When you have been hurt and you know, just know it’s going to happen again. When you realize no matter what way you flavor the poison it is still going to fuck you up, get out and don’t look back.
Friendships and relationships are supposed to bring out the best in each person. They are supposed to make you thrive to be a better person but some people don’t see it that way. Some people merely see it as an opportunity to manipulate and use somebody for their own personal gain. And when they are done they discard you until you are of use again. Well I for one don’t like to think of myself as disposable. If you decide to discard me, you better keep walking.
I’ve learned sometimes you are just better off without certain people in your life. Sometimes it’s better to cut ties for your own well being. Don’t be a doormat, When people treat you badly it’s not ok. As hard as it may be, when you really look deep down you know it’s for best.
That’s All For Now My Darlings!
MWAH!
