speaing of heaven, she looked like a god on earth...
ive come to realize that each passing day holds many lessons. some are too miniscule to realize obviously, but these are lessons nonetheless. some may be a insignificant as, "don't open the door without holding the cat because she has a tendency to run out of the apartment whenever she can". Some may be more than that. I've come to see that many of the lessons I've learned aren't new at all, theyre just reinforced lessons that I came to realize years ago, such as "optimism can be just as bad as pessimism, as it all depends on the situation".
I guess what I'm getting at is that you can't get yourself too comfortable with things because it only takes one instant for the world that you know to flip over and change. Not that it'll necessarily change for the bad, but it can change nonetheless. All you can really do is seize every moment as if it were your last. Sure, it sounds so cliche and redundant, but it's a truth I've come to realize all to well as of late.
I've really started to listen to people. I think that I used to be one who just listened solely so that I could wait for my turn to talk. The kicker? I never thought I was that kind of person until now, when I look back on it all. Anywho, I've read livejournal entries and listened to stories from friends and coworkers. It just got me thinking, how can we be better people than who we are now? How can the people I read of and hear about grow? Is there a maximum? I doubt it.
We all need to put ourselves before others alot of the times. Not that's it's selfish. It's actually quite the opposite. If you can't make yourself happy, how can you make another happy, be it a lover, a friend, or just an acquaintance? Don't let the boys or the girls get to you.
I'm of no significance on this matter, but I believe in it anyways. I've become a strong believer in karma and fate these last few months. Let me assure you, what I put out has definitely come around to bite me in the ass, and I hurts more than I ever realized I could hurt. Yet I'm trying to take it in stride. But that's besides the point. All I really want to say is that we all just need to follow our hearts and be respectful to others. Whether you like me or not, I'll always just ask for respect, because that's now what I give out. The funny thing is, once you start showing kindness and respect to those you thought you hated, the hate seems to fade, at least a bit. That's been the case for me, at least.
But I say follow your hearts. Be with the girl cause YOU want to be with the girl, not because others told you that it's best for you. Be with the boy because you like the boy, not because of others. Disregard everyone's opinions on everything. No one can make a decision for you. They can only offer there opinions for your consideration. Ultimately, it's your decision.
I used to live in the past while dwelling on the future. Not anymore.
But look at me, acting like a martyr of sorts, preaching things. I don't mean to seem pompous or arrogant. Trust me my intentions are far from that. I just had some things on my mind.
See ya.
