24 seconds of my night

Let’s face it.

One day, I will die. And all that’s going to be left of me are the memories I’ve left behind. The last thing I want to be remembered for, is being ugly-hearted. Just saying.

Sometimes, it’s a little hard to believe in yourself…

if you never do anything right. What I mean is, sometimes it’s hard to feel confident in something that you want to do, if the outcome always goes wrong. You start off with the best intentions and you give it your all, only to find that the world isn’t working in your favor. How many times has this happened to me - countless. It’s definitely a damper to your spirits, but one thing you have to remember is that you can’t live in the past. You can’t be scared to start something based on the outcome of something else. You gotta hold your head up, and last but not least, hope for the best. At the end of the day, that’s all you can do.

I have to trust you…

Even if I think you’re lying or cheating or doing something you’re not supposed to, I have to trust what you say. No matter what kind of crazy ideas that go through my mind, doubting you burdens our relationship. It may be a dumb thing to do, but what’s a relationship without trust. What’s a relationship if you lie? 

at the end of the day…

… the only person you have to answer to is yourself. You and ONLY you are in control of who you are. So make the decisions you want to experience; even if they’re not so wise. Sometimes we need to live on the edge and do things we’re not supposed to. What good is life, if you’re going through it without excitement? Just make sure you’re going to be able to live with the consequences of your actions. 

Best Friends
In life, you experience love. Love that is pure and innocent. Love that isn’t corrupted by sexual desires or jealousy, but love that last’s forever. Through thick and thin, there will always be one person to stand by your side; your best friend. 
A best friend is someone who’s stands ready to pick you up even before you’ve fallen down. Someone who enjoys putting up with the random shit you do and even joins in. A best friend is someone who you can argue with and never have to say sorry to. They’re someone that knows you inside and out and know what kind of intentions you have. A best friend is your second you. Someone who is an extra pair of eyes and ears to always watch and have your back. A best friend is going to be there to tell you when you’re acting up; when you’re not being you and when you’re just plain being stupid. But most of all, a best friend is gonna be that person that pushes you to be you; that pushes you to love you, and that will always be by your side if ever you get side tracked. That person to lean on, that’s a best friend.

I know that he loves me because he told me so, I know that he loves me because his feelings show..

? 6358 plays

oh, the irony.

isn’t it funny that we work hard to accomplish things we want? i mean, that’s why we set goals and get into certain mindsets right? to work hard and make the end result rewarding. but isn’t it even more ironic when the end result isn’t what we thought it would be? like we work hard, and when we finally get to where we want to be, that unsatisfying feeling of “that’s it?” overwhelms us. i guess the fun is in the thrill of the chase.

“never call a girl ugly, even if you’re joking”

yes. this statement is true, but what about the boys? you think girls are the only ones who feel the effects of being called ugly? no! we get hurt too. maybe our psychological reactions aren’t as extreme, but it doesn’t mean that it has no effect. society makes us think that men are strong; impenetrable and that nothing phases us. they’re wrong. guys get affected just as much as girls do. granted, no one should be called ugly on purpose, but it happens. i mean, when I get called ugly, I try to laugh it off so I show everyone that it doesn’t really phase me. But deep down, my heart sinks, and I don’t feel like saying anything. My mood changes, and I start to think about my appearance and just what about the way I look, makes people think I’m ugly. Words bring on warfare. If you’ve been called ugly before, you know how it feels. So joking or not, DONT DO IT.

“I may be lying in the gutter, but I’m staring at the stars.”

I make mistakes. I know I do. Sometimes, I do it accidently, and sometimes I take a chance and it doesn’t go my way. It’s like living on the spur of the moment. Live with no regrets, right? This quote means a lot because it says that no matter how low we are, no matter how far we sink into the depths of darkness, we can always look to something better. The gutter represents the low of lows. Where the dirt water runs and the rapid mice play. The stars are our dreams. They represent a better outcome; one which we’ll get one day. Life is full of mistakes. The great thing is that you have the opportunity to do it again and make it better. That’s why it’s called a mis-take.

I think that being comfortable in your own skin generally comes from accepting who you are. No matter how much you love yourself, and how much confidence you have in how you look, given certain circumstances, it’ll be hard to accept yourself. I can sit here and tell you how I’ve accepted myself and how I could care less of what people think of me, but when you put me in a room with someone who has a better body, a better face, and a better personality, I’m not going to be as loving to myself as I would alone. Everyone is capable of becoming comfortable in their own skin. They only become uncomfortable when they see someone who they’re threatened by. It happens. Like I said before. I love who I am, what I’ve become and what I have to offer. I accept myself and my flaws which is the reason I am comfortable with who I am. No lie though. I get threatened and intimidated by others. It may hinder how I feel about myself, but it’ll never make me feel less. 

im starting to write again.

I am more than just a face, and yeah, it’ll take time for some people to understand that. Not only do I consider myself smart, I consider myself understanding and very capable of making people view the world in a different perspective. People will talk about me like they know me and you know what?  I allow you to sit there and judge me based on what you think you know. I guess it’s the reason I write. It’s the reason I blog. It’s the reason why I allow you to read what’s in my brain. Yes, it is me, but it’s not all of me. What I write is how I think. Some are relevant to my life, some not so much. But don’t get carried away and think you know who I am. You only know a part of me. You have no idea why I am the way I am or think the way I do. You don’t know the the instances that happened, nor the struggles that I’ve faced. By all means, judge me. Just don’t think you’re 100 percent accurate.

Friends

I’m the kind of friend who will always be there for you. Even if time causes us to drift apart and we barely talk to each other, I don’t forget. I’m not one of those people who can easily walk in and out of someone’s life. If I walk in, I’m going to church. That means as a friend, I’m faithful. I’ll always have your back or be there to listen even if I can’t do it physically. You may forget about me, and fail to acknowledge my presence later down the line, but my promise is still true. You need me, and I’m there for you.
