eminem speaks wisdom

i am currently addicted to this song,

listen to what he says.

he's right. 

sometimes we lie to protect ourselves from what we know will cause pain to us or others,

sometimes we keep it bottled inside so long that it becomes atomic.

sometimes we tell people things that they do not understand completely.

sometimes we gash ourselves open with the truth and the atomic bomb goes off.

sometimes we say all the right things, but they are heard in all the wrong ways.

sometimes you love so much that it suffocates you and you are trapped.

but there is always hope. 

you are never alone. 

no matter how much wrong you have been through,

there is always a light.

there is no end to goodness. 

<3

bucking up and facing fears.

sometimes we love so strongly, that simply the fear of possibly losing the one we love-scares us so much that 

we begin to run.

but where will running get you? 

further from where you want to be.

stop running away, run into the arms of those you love. 

dont pack your bags, pack for a picnic and spend time with the people that matter most to you.

fear is scary, but love is beautiful.

choose your shoes wisely, 

if you pick a crappy pair of shoes, your feet will get super messed up.

dont settle for anything less than the best <3

a little piece of a reality check.

today was an interesting day, a best friend of mine discovered a taste of the stress i feel as a senior...but when i tried to discuss it...the subject was changed. i know it wasnt thier fault, but it ruined my day! later, in my choir class all i could think to myself was how badly i wanted anyone to notice that my day was just not going the way a good day should!

but.

as hard as a horse kicks, the thought popped into my head, "hey big whiny pants! stop complaining! you got a happy life. you are HAPPY where you are! dont let all these little things pile up and ruin your day!" 

then the bell rang.

its always the small things that get you down...but. 

simple things like... 

the smell of your dream car as you drive it home 

or a favorite song on the radio playing

or a gust of wind when suffering with what feels like heat stroke... :)

its those simple moments, the ones when you are overwhelmed with joy for something completely insignificant, those i could live my whole life sweltering in happiness for. <3
