Marcus Aurillius is not a great theologian, but a great philosopher. I doubt that this person even knows I have a journal so I am going to be frank.... My soul is not completely light or dark..... I am speaking metaphorically.... When I need the light though it happens to come from my soul like a ravaging fire and allows me to know what to do with ( Read more... )

Life lessons are hard to put into words. Today I have realized even more that habits and old ways/tendencies are hard to break. Just when you think you have everything together things slip away. Getting false paths and old habits back is easier than loosing them all together. Usually you would just accept that sometimes you fall, but not me and not ( Read more... )

Well I tittled this one The decision. It is kind of weird for me but I have realized that alcohol although has many uses other that drinking is something that is not for me. I said some things to a person that I know really well that I should not have. This is not the only time that I have done this. I have done this one other time. I am beginning ( Read more... )

I just feel great. I have been working out for about a month now. Really everything seems to be going great. For once in my life school has more meaning than it ever has.

I have learned that people aren't always as they seem to be. I don’t know, there was this guy that I trusted a lot. I told him things that I absolutely couldn't tell anyone; it would appear that he ( Read more... )

Well now it would seem that in 2 and a half hours I will be sitting in class. It would almost seem that tomorrow was non existent.

I can't help but notice. The world feeds of personal appearance. Whatever is perfect is happy. At-least on the outside everything might be. I am not pointing out a simple functionality that is no longer existent. But the first look at someone I myself think that some things are not attractive. Even though I find intelligence the most attractive ( Read more... )
