  • Live for the moment

    May your next year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art – write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.


    I constantly wonder how my life looks in other people’s eyes. Do they think I have it easy? Do they think I have nothing going on for myself? Or are the fascinated with who I am? The thing is that no one will ever know my whole story. No one will ever know the things I’ve had to overcome. Not even my closest friends, not even my own family. The thing is that people are so quick to judge now a days. You only see a person from what they want & allow you to see. I always try to look as put together as if can & I guess that’s my way of hiding from the truth. It’s just that way, everyone will assume that everything in my life is okay, that I never go through anything. If only everyone knew how broken I am, & how I’m holding on for dear life on this one last strand that’s recently become very delicate. The truth is that no one really knows me. No one will ever know me & sometimes that scares me, because no one will ever know why I am the way I am.


    The only thing I really wish to do with my life is to inspire someone. I want to touch someone’s life so much that they can genuinely say that if they have never met me then they wouldn’t be the person they are today. I want to save someone; save them from this cold, dark & lonely world. I wish to be someone’s hero, someone that people look up to. I only wish to make a change, even if it’s a small one. I just want to do more than exist.


    We do not get unlimited chances to have the things we want. And this, I know. Nothing is worse than missing the opportunity that could have changed your life.


    If we could take a lesson from “You never know what you got, until it’s gone”, maybe we’d learn to appreciate what we have more often. You can’t always get the perfect moment; all you can do is make the best out of the circumstances. Because there will never be the perfect guy, but there will be the guy you learned to love; his flaws and everything else in between.


    Even though you think you’re finally over that boy, and you think you like someone else, you start reading quotes and it’s still that same boy that pops into your head. Not the new one.


    Google doesn’t have all the answers. It can’t tell you how to fall in love, or how to know if someone’s falling in love with you. It can’t tell you if you’re falling out of love, or if someone’s falling out of love with you. It can’t tell you if someone is lying to you. It can’t tell you how to say goodbye to people you love. It can’t tell you if you should follow your head or your heart. Google can’t explain why he left. It can’t explain why he didn’t follow when you walked away. Nobody can answer those questions, except ourselves. 


    I make people laugh and I have the power to make people cry. I have an effect on certain people that I don’t understand and nobody can explain it for me. They say it’s special, but what is it? If I can’t find it, how can I believe you when you say there’s something in me that sparkles?


    This year I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned that you have to make mistakes in order to learn from them. No one is perfect. I’ve learned you have to accept the things that are thrown at me in life and work with what I’ve got. I’ve learned that you never know who is really there for you. The only person you can be totally sure of is yourself. Most of all, I learned that whatever doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger. Keep it up life, I’ll be unbreakable.
