Grow Up

Growing up means learning what life is

When you're little, you have a set of ideals, standards, criteria, plans, outlooks, and you think that you have to sit around and wait for them to happen to you and then life will work.

But life isn't like that, for anybody; you can't fall in love with a standard, you have to fall in love with a person.

You can't live in a criteria, you have to live your life. You can't wait for your plans to materialize, because they may never materialize the way you think they will.

You can't wait to watch your ideals and standards walk up to you, because you can't know what's yours until you have it

I always say, always take the first chance in case you never get a second one, but growing up takes that even one step further, growing up means that you have to hold on to what you have, when you have it, because what you have- that's yours- and all the ideals and criteria you have set in your head, those aren't yours, because those haven't happened to you

Don't Hate Someone

If you want to forget something or someone

never hate it, or never hate him/her

Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved upon your heart

if you want to let go of something, if you want to forget, you cannot hate

it's Real Love

we have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us
the people who really matter
too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us
people that don't even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets!
It's time to put an end to this
It's time for us to let ourselves be loved :)

Dear God

thanks for always being there

thanks for always making me strong through everything

thanks for giving me this live :)
