my take on things.

this cartel c.d. is quite possibly one of my favorite things about life. i'm realizing more and more what my favorite bands truly are... just like my favorite friends. the ones you don't always need right there in front of you, but you know you always have to fall back on when you need them. the c.d.s you can put away for months at a time, and bring it out and it has the same effect on you. it comforts you in the same way it always did.



making decisions has always been wicked hard for me. you're supposed to make huge decisions by yourself, with no influence of others. but of course when things are going right, a person is going to feel more obliged to stay somewhere than leave. why would you want to leave comfort?

sometimes i wonder how many people read the various blogs/bulletins/livejournals/emails i write and care about them. some people say they care but i wonder how many people really do. i wonder how many people who i attempt to keep in my life couldn't care less whether or not i was a part of theirs. i tend to over-care, if you will, about people. every year i meet new people. and think they're going to mean a lot to me. and before i know it, i'll run in to them and not know if i'm supposed to say hello. perfect example: the person who 100% meant the most to me at this time last year means less than nothing to me now. i never thought that would happen. best friends can become strangers. its sad how much trust we put in to people who end up meaning nothing to us. i can say this much: anyone who makes any attempt to hurt you isn't worth your time. people will hurt you no matter how far up or down your guard is, but take everything with a grain of salt and roll with the punches. (who thought i'd ever use two such cliche phrases in the same sentence, but sometimes it just fits.) you never know when the people who mean the most to you are going to let you down, but you need to keep your head up. things will only get better if you have faith in them getting better-- so have faith. believe in yourself. because without yourself, you have nothing.

i love being in random states, and in random places. meeting new people and seeing new things. people take strangers for granted. everyone was a stranger to you at one point in time. thats why i've always made it a point to talk to so many people--- everyone has something to teach you. everyone has something to learn. and something they can teach. the world is fascinating if you open your eyes and ears. being in other places shows me the beauty of the land this earth has to offer. its a wonderful thing.


sometimes we want to be seen or heard. but always be seen or heard for yourself, not for anyone else. and not at the gain or loss of anyone. if you get attention due to something having to do with someone else, you'll only be behind in the end. if you're bettering yourself for anyone other than yourself, you're doing it for all of the wrong reasons. you can get compliments from other people all day long, but until you can look at yourself and the things you do and be happy with them, the things people say to you can only hold you up for so long.



if everyone was more concerned with themselves and less concerned about anyone else, the world would be a better place. the media driving celebrities in to insanity is the perfect example. but it happens all around us on such lower scales every day.


if your friends are mad at you--- its because they care. no one is stupid enough to spend time being mad at someone that they don't care about. if your friends offer advice, try to take it. sometimes its hard, but the least you can do is listen. people usually have good intentions, and words may not come out perfect but the meaning and care is behind them.


we have one life. one chance is all we get. make the most out of it. don't let the little things get you down. keep smiling. keep living. keep fighting through the hard times. keep loving. just keep on, and it'll pay off. be the bigger person, go the harder route. overcome the things that scare the shit out of you. don't waste time being sad--- take it from me. i've been miserable, and its not worth it. watching days, weeks, months, and years pass you by is not worth it. make the most of things.



i don't know what else to say. i wish everyone happiness and health. always.

xoxo,
