No, I have not been alive for too long. I can't say that I have ever really taken full responsibility for all aspects of my life. There are many experiences that I have yet to obtain. I hardly make any money. I am in debt, like everyone else alive. Although I've been working on it, I admit that I'm not pleased with my health. I'm not perfect in anyway. I guess that's what makes me human.
Throughout the twenty-two years that I have been alive, I have realized that an optimistic lifestyle cures every madness and struggle that one can have. Life can be all that much better if only we could all look on the bright side of things.
Bad days do happen. Lessons are sometimes learned in the most difficult ways possible. Sometimes, we get let down by people that we put our full trust in. We all make mistakes that hurt ourselves or others. Why dwell on what pains us? Why beat ourselves up and bring ourselves further down because of one little flawed option that life gave us? It simply does not make sense.
Play in the rain, even if your hair gets frizzy. Dance, even if there isn't music. Feel the music, even if it isn't your favorite genre. Sing, even if you can't. Smile, it makes you more approachable. Laugh, even if you feel like crying. Don't judge anyone, because ultimately, we all have similar problems. Open your mind and listen to others opinions and beliefs, even if you don't always agree. Try not to have such a shallow eye, there's too much beauty among everything to turn your back on it. Respect is a lovely thing to give and receive, worth more than money. Loyalty is one of the strongest characteristics a person can have. Don't lie, you would be surprised how many people understand and would rather here the truth. Love with all of your heart, even if it's been broken.
Life is too short.

Depression
Depression is where (excuse my French) you don't really give a fuck about anything anymore. Depression is where you cannot even release yourself through your release, whether it be writing, painting, running, fixing things, dancing, driving, playing an instrument, etc.
Depression is when you don't really feel like doing much of anything, although you don't want to be alone.
Depression is where you can sit alone for hours just thinking about how much your life sucks in a silent atmosphere.
Depression is where you don't feel as though dying would be a horrible thing.
Depression is where every single food put in front of your face seems unappetizing.
Depression is where, even though you feel as though you're at rock bottom, you just keep sinking further into the black abyss.

FAT America
It is a well known fact that the United States of America is one of the fattest countries on this planet. There are so many movies, so many advertisements, so many television shows, news broadcasts, posters, labels that go into detail about this gruesome statistic. It's about time for me to shed that bad American heritage.

That Might Be Nice
Two strangers meet, and the bond is so intriguing that they have the ideology to get married within only a few months. Immediate attraction. Bold moves and fearless behaviors. A glimmer in the eyes that make a chest feel hollow. Compelling emotions triggered to life. An amazing aroma inhaled into previously unoccupied areas. Primal pairing. The heart thinks before the head and regret becomes an everyday thought .....or does it?

Holy Hell It's Hot!
This weather has given me motivation only to sit in the air conditioning and watch tv. If only I could take a trip to the Great Lakes where I know the water is still not like bathwater....
It definitely has me thinking though. That Camp dude said that the world was going to end May 21, 2011 and we're still here, but shit is pretty intense this year as far a weather, animals, and well... I guess that's it as far as I know. I mean, we've had nearly 103% over the normal tornado outbreaks in the country. Not to mention, we've hit some records as far as high temperatures in the Midwest. Southern California had an outbreak of tornadoes! There have been super powerful tornadoes. It's almost "Day After Tomorrow" - esque.
And the insects... Because of the strange atmosphere that we've had, the bugs are absolutely horrible this year. The bees, the ants, the flies, and the mosquitoes. Those damn mosquitoes are biting at victims ruthlessly, making it look like a first grade classroom infected with chicken pox.
It's starting to add up, the apocalypse is coming, or maybe it already came. But what can you do? Give your money to me so I can spend hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising? I think so ;)

Sometimes, It Just Feels Good to Be Lazy
I had so many plans this summer, as I always make during the summer time. I don't know why I make plans either, the summer is a nice time to just relax and take it day by day. I enjoy a nice glass of wine or other recreational times with friends. I enjoy to read a book at the pace that I want to read a book by.
I don't want to follow specific times, just drift through life and work to make money to do that drifting. It's weird because as a student, the summers are easier, even if I am working 40 hrs every other week. Speaking of being lazy, time to go watch a movie with friends. So much for writing....

Religion Is Like a Penis
"Religion is like a penis. It's fine to have one. It's fine to be proud of it. But please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around. And please don't try to shove it down our throats." -Anonymous quote.
I have to admit that this is one of my favorite quotes about religion because that's kinda the way that I feel. See, the church that I felt most comfortable in, in my whole life was a non-denominational church. I believe in something (at least I want to believe in something), but I don't rule out the possibility of anything. I believe in religion, whatever it may be. I don't trash talk religions (publicly), however, I feel like people do taint a lot of them with their politics. I hate it when people tell me what to believe or how to live my life because it's MY life. They can live life however they want and I really don't care because it's theirs to live. So, if you are rather closed-minded when it comes to religion perhaps you should consider being a little more open and respectful to what others believe or don't believe. Who are you to judge?
