I woke up today with the song "call me maybe" by Carly Ray Jepsen stuck in my head. It made me think about may things, but what stuck is distance.

Quotes of the Day!

Opinionated

So I'm quite opinionated and quick to voice my thoughts and feelings on any matter without thinking of the consequences. Unfortunately, my point(s) of view is/are not always welcome. People don't care about what I think, merely about pushing their own agenda. Sometimes this causes them to blow up in an enraged ball of  flames and do more damage than perhaps they intended.

Recently I got burnt pretty bad for saying something not untrue; expressing myself resulted in a chain reaction leading to a massive blow-up that hurt many people. I'm not sure though, if I regret it. Is my opinion not valuable? Or is it just not desired? What makes one's opinion count? Money? Some other kind of power? Respect? It's too bad that things turned out the way they did, because they left deep scars in fragile hearts and have forever changed relationships. They severed feelings of closeness and openness that was once abundant and have caused strong brick walls to be built around myself that will take years to penetrate.

A chapter has closed. An image has been shattered. A dream has crumbled before my eyes. And I wonder still, if it was worth opening my mouth and speaking my mind or would it have been better to keep it shut and live a fallacy? I also somehow managed to twist my ego's arm into sending out an apology though I really didn't want to, but sometimes one needs to keep up appearances or fix situations while keeping their eyes on the bigger picture, I guess. I also think it's true that the people that can cause the most damage or inflict the most pain are those you care most about... which leads me to think of other things, but I will share those later!

Quote of the Day!

I said: what about my eyes?
God said: Keep them on the road.
I said: what about my passion?
God said: Keep it burning.
I said: what about my heart?

God said: Tell me what you hold inside it?
I said: pain and sorrow?
He said: ..stay with it.
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

Quotes of the Day!

Stuck in the past

These days I seem to be surrounded by people that are stuck in the past. For whatever reason they can't seem to move forward and live freely. Whether it's an ex-lover, a relationship that went south or even a relationship that never materialised; some people are stuck on historical or political events that unfolded a gazillion years ago. What binds these people together is that they're all crying over spilt milk, harping on about something that has no bearing on today and in doing so are essentially held in a constant state of inertia.

What I wonder is... why? Why is it so hard for them to to come out of this situation and why do they keep reverting to it every so often? Whether it's a state of religiousness, or mourning someone that passed away an eternity ago, or mourning a relationship that didn't go your way I don't think any good comes of this. Life is something we ought to celebrate, even when things don't go our way. We need to learn the lessons and keep on putting one foot in front of the other. Sure not everything is ideal and not everything turns out as it should, but it's important to take the positive, disregard the negative (but understand what went wrong and why) and build on that.

Bad things happen. Sometimes they happen to good people. Sometimes tragedies befall good families. Sometimes the individual deserved it. However, if we let ourselves be held back by events of the past we're losing out on life. The deceased person or relationship ran it's course and for whatever reason things didn't work out. Now's time to grab life by the collar, and go get what you want.

More on this later. For now people really need to stop dwelling on what has happened and start shaping the future. Otherwise... how are we ever going to progress as a people? as a nation? as individuals? Stop idolising the past and building monuments to things that no longer exist... focus on what's in front of you, the rest of your life, still waiting to be lived out. Do something worthwhile instead of grieving for what's gone.
