Drown, Baby, Drown.
He found himself in the middle of a vast ocean of tears. In all three-sixty degrees, there was no sight of help. The more he fought to keep his head above water, the more energy he drained within himself. Relapsing into silence as the eye drops of depression filled his lungs. Let go. Don’t fight it. Let the current carry you into the state of tranquillity. Let it consume...
If there’s one thing I’ve learned this year, it’s that pain is tolerable. That no matter how many tears you shed, it’ll never be enough to fill your lungs and kill you. Even if you do stop breathing, that pain will disappear as well and in the end, you’ll always be okay. Therefore, no matter how much pain you maybe going through, it should never be enough to risk your...
Preaching To The Choir.
The sad truth is that our opinions and advice are often heard by the people who don’t need it. The one’s who are willing to listen are often the ones who are open minded and respectful. It’s those who don’t read, who don’t listen, whom are unwilling to honor the value in another’s gratuity. Stubbornness will kill you as you will not...
Everyone, especially teenagers need to stop trying so hard to be different, to be cool, to be trendy. Just be honest with yourself. Half the time you’re following others just to fit in. The other half you’re trying to set trends that don’t even represent who you really are. Yeah, it’s an amazing feeling getting attention and being popular. But it’s all that much...
Often times we’re better, emotionally, than we think we are. When something as simple as a loss of death or a relationship that has come to an end, we automatically pity ourselves and build our own pessimistic mood without even realizing it. One loss, big or small, life will go on. There are other things to worry about and to be thankful for. For the most part, we are in control of our...
Work Stories #1 12/12/11
So today a big African-American male about 220 lbs, 6’2”, came into the store today and wanted to pay for a few pairs of shoes for his baby mama. He brought up a total of 6 pairs of shoes to the counter. My co worker, this Vietnamese/African-American girl, started to ring him up and he said this, “Can I tell you that you look beautiful without flirting?” That is probably...
So I had this dream...
Where I was headed to @minasouk’s house on the top of the mountains. The only way to get there was to walk on the side of the cliffs with 1000+ ft. drops. It was a 4 foot wide pathway with guardrails on each side which was supposed to make it a little less scary but it wasn’t. It wasn’t because @m1ko was pushing me up the mountain in a shopping cart, running at full blast,...

When a person finally finds someone worth hanging onto, they’d want to do anything to keep them close. Sometimes it’s not the fact that you genuinely enjoy talking to that person, but you’d always want to talk to them so you wont end up drifting further and further with each passing day. You wouldn’t want to lose their interest and them finding someone better and more exciting than...
My mind will forever be a complacent library of thoughts scattered in an incoherent manner. Historic memories, fictional feelings, and journalistic thoughts are sealed with dust as they sit on the top shelves never to be deciphered. The cold reality is that something too hard to understand will gain nearly any human interest as it is not worth it. Struggle is never appealing. Only a doctor can...
sometimes the thought of suicide feels so right.

Education doesn’t necessarily make you smarter. Intelligence is a concept of relativity, and the standards we compare them to have changed over time—divided into separate categories more than anything.
Sure, you’re at a prestigious school that teaches you how to analyze famous literary works, the art of rhetoric, societal ethics, etc. Your professors have passed on their knowledge...
It’s been a while since someone’s asked me something personal beyond the small talk. Those are the times you feel as if you actually exist and everything you’ve been through starts to have a meaning. It’s nice knowing someone is curious about the little details about you; really, really nice. It’s those times you reflect upon your life and surprisingly find out things...
Tough love is the best and most honest form of...
Accept the fact that not everything will be perfect. Accept the fact that most things in your life will not be as special as you’d like it to be. Accept the fact not everything can go your way. Accept the fact that mistakes happen even to the bests of people. Accept the truth, cold or warm. Accept it and maybe you won’t have to live your life scared of disappointment and getting hurt....
Suns fade as icy winds start to pick up. Her breath steamed before her face, steadily. With each gust of wind, her veins froze and her heart grew numb. The lack of circulation erased the memory of touch. Cold, hard frost filled the void of reminiscent feelings. Their relations rested in peace under blankets of snow. He was more than just her guiding light, but her fuel for desire to hold on. His...
Something you should do with your significant other:
No matter what age you are, if you are out and dating, you should make it an annual tradition to go out shopping together and buy some toys or food to donate every Christmas. Buying each other gifts can be nice, but why spend money on materialistic things for each other when that money can be spent on someone else who is in need. The holiday...
Straight up, just be thankful for what you have no matter how minimum or ordinary it may be. Everything you own and everything you come across is an amazing opportunity that other’s may not ever have. It’s an opportunity that can be taken away, not a right or a privilege. Take care of yourself, take care of your belongings, and most of all, take care of the people who mean the most to...
