Pie.

It's so hard to decide where to focus your passions, when you're passionate about every aspect of your life.

Spontaneous Sundays.

The best therapy is a day with friends therapy.

Smiley face.

You fill me with bubbles.

Standing at a cognitive cliff.

I am lost in a world of opposing opinions and beliefs. I stand at the middle being crushed at both sides not knowing which way to jump, so I stand still and let the pressure build until it compresses my mind into a black empty space. My self confidence has shriveled into the ground below me, being held up only by petty accomplishments that drip just enough water in the soil below me to survive. My mind feels like simple present matter, no more, no less. I say right, it goes left. What changed? It was so gradual that I didn't feel its soft pounce. Have you ever let a smile fade so slowly that you didn't realize you were exhibiting a frown? Let your run slow down so gradually that you didn't realize you were beginning to crawl? I have never felt so unsure of life and everything in it. At least, I am sure of two important things, two of which make me smile enough to get through the day.

Observe and Feel.

It's time for me to talk less and listen more.

2011.

Pwn at life. That is all I wanna do.

The world creates you, and you create the world around you.

There's nothing wrong with living in your own bubble.

But a bubble with a hard shell is more susceptible to popping, than one with a soft exterior that permits the world around it to flow in and out of it with ease.

Clouds on clouds.

Sometimes this feels so perfect, I wonder if I'm dreaming that I'm dreaming about us.

It's all fun. It's all games. It's all biz.

A new year means a new stomping ground. This year there ain't no fuckin around. I'm not in it to win it. I'm in it to live it.

A day in recollecting.

I have never felt so level with the ground in a long time. It's nice.

Escape.

I. Just. Need. To. be somewhere new and inspirational.

Get me out of here.

I don't want to stand out. I'm just me. In fact I'd rather blend in.

Without gravity, there would be no direction.

You keep my feet on the ground. Without you I'd be flying all over the place with no destination in mind, until my wings were too frail to fly, and I'd plummet somewhere that wouldn't feel right. You make my sleep alright. You make me smile all night.

Tonight I lined rows of crackers on a plate and melted shredded cheese over them. It reminded me of being with you.

Dreams are for sleeping.

Don't waste your time sitting around and dreaming about what you could do. Just do it. It's better to strive for your dreams than to sit and wish that they could happen, or else they'll never happen.

I wish I could hold your hand.

You may be miles away, but I always feel like you're right beside me. One day, every day will be sunny.

Every action is a catalyst for something.

Every action you make is like planting a seed. From every action we make, something will grow. If you plant a watermelon seed, you'll grow a watermelon. If you plant a dandelion seed, you'll get a dandelion. Sometimes you intend to grow a daisy, but when the plant grows it's a thorny bush, because you planted the wrong seed. These are mistakes. Sometimes you grow weeds. These are vices. Sometimes we plant roses, love. Ultimately we plant our own seeds, so always look at the seed in your hand, before you plant it. If you don't want a weed, then don't plant one. If you want lots of daisies, then plant a lot of them. And water them.

Nobody hides from time.

I've come to appreciate everything I have so much more. But I can't hold back these lumps in my throat. I constantly feel like I want to cry. It's not fair. Why did this have to happen. Why now.

My life changes so much from here. I have no choice but to grow up.

Respect, understanding, empathy: Give all that you have and demand nothing less in return.

I remembered that life is what you make it. I'm going to work my ass off in school and I'm going to love every minute of it. I came here to pursue my dreams and I'm not giving up. For anything in the world. My whole life all I've done is throw away my dreams. This time I'm going to cherish them. I've never told anyone to give up on a dream, I always tell them to keep working towards it and for once I need to take my own advice. I deserve this.

Never expect to gain what you don't put out in the world.

I'm going to put out a whole lot of love and smiles :)

and watch my world fall back together.

Because that is simply what it takes.

Strength of mind, love and compassion.

As long as you want it with your whole heart, it can happen and be real.

My heart is all in. In everything that I love and do.

Sadness, you will never own my heart. My mind is too strong.

Smile.

I need to find the strength to smile and be positive again.

At one point I was always positive and always smiling.

And nothing stopped me from being positive no matter how bad it was.

I need this strength back. Or I'm only going to continue withering.
