Some people feel everything. They feel everything to the point where it hurts. They empathize with other people and feel their pain. This brings about anxiety which is caused from not paying enough attention to the self. But how? How do people just turn themselves off to the plight of other people? How can they learn to pay more attention to the things that have an effect on their own personal lives.... not in a selfish, uncaring way, but in a good way? Practice, practice makes perfect.

There is no pride in living a life for the shine in the eyes of another. If you want to be a good example for kids, for example, show them what it is like to follow your instincts and act with presence of mind. Teach them how to be respectful, thoughtful and kind. Teach them to follow their minds eyes and allow the symbolic gestures of the natural world to show them the way; the way to silence where the archives live and breathe stacked tall enough for more than the eternal glance. In those pages lie more than words. Inside the archives lies the love of many people who are no longer with us. Few of them lived the life of another.

even if you feel everything in your heart you are one of the lucky ones... as confusing and difficult as it may be at times. the spirit world has a way of coming into our lives so that we may catch a glimpse of what real color looks like and what real bliss feels like.

There is a difference between loving what you do and being in-love with what you do and how you do it. Loving what you do means that the process or activity itself is what is the most fun. Being in love with what you do means that everything about the activity brings satisfaction. It is the activity plus all the people the activity affects that brings the most joy. An artist is someone who is in love with what he/she does.

originality isn't something that can be manufactured. Originality is ugly and full of mistakes. It is sometimes difficult and always interesting. I love the original people. They remind me of classic films.

It takes a man of courage, a real madman to step away from his life to lead the life he was meant to live. It really is a hell of a decision to make on ones own. For all those with the courage enough to change everything just to live a more... sensible life, well done and good luck.

My life is in a holding pattern right now. This is something not of my own choosing. In time I will see my dream come to fruition. But until that time, I will wait in vain. I will wait and try to heal myself from these god damn demons that seem to relish in my struggles.

I am alone today. I was alone yesterday. It seems everyday I am alone. Even when I am among friends or family, I feel alone. Maybe that is because I am alone in my world; we all are alone in our own worlds. Knowing this fact, I find it more and more difficult to want to leave my room, to talk with people, to not be alone. I must continue learning, dreaming, wanting to improve. But I am not sure what improvement means. I am alone today and that's okay with me... I think.

May this day be your best day. May you find the answer you were looking for and may that answer lead to even more answers. May you find peace where there once was anger and may you understand your value... not only to yourself, but to all those that surround you.

I had my patience tested again today just like yesterday. Once again I had to deal with a whinny little bitch who just had to have his way. I worry about his entire generation. It is almost as if they expect certain things to just come to them. They seem to be extraordinarily selfish. If I played my hand that way when I was his age, I would to this day have no friends.

Expectation isn't something that requires much thought. It is an assumption that one or more things will happen as a result of some action that you have taken. I think we would do better in life if we decided one day not to expect anything and just be grateful for what comes our way. We may prefer for certain things to happen, but this has nothing to do with being grateful for the opportunity of things happening.

There is the reality of the day and there is the reality inside our minds. The reality of our day stated simply is where we are actually in life. It is separate from where we think we should be and it is separate from each and every dream we have. The reality inside our minds can be as majikal as we can imagine. We can feed off of media to keep our dreams inside alive. The connections we make between our reality of the day and the dreams we gather from watching various media are real. Many people prefer the dreams inside. They rely on the connections they make between shows or ads or movies to enhance their dream factory... or The Secondary Life.

We are encouraged to drop childish things once we reach a certain age. It is like the age where dreams die. Very often, people will reference the bible once they begin the process of crossing out any childhood dreams that may have been present. Parents are famous for doing such things. When you're young you can do anything. When you hit that age you work and make time for dreams later.

I don't know how I can go on when all I do is fill myself with sadness. Things are very negative for me now. I see doom and gloom in the forecast. I see people making money casting media-spells upon the masses.

I am alive today and for that I am thankful. It has been a long road of late and I could use a new perspective. So I thought about it and decided it would be best for me to focus on that which is good rather than worrying about the things that are missing in my life.
