All That Shines Isn't Gold.

Sometimes all that shines isn't exactly what we think it is...Sometimes the shine we see is just a distraction. A distraction so that we don't see what is really good on. A call for attention. Good or bad, as long as the attention is happening then that's all that matters right? For some people that's good, for others not so much. Sometimes even though we see the shinning, we aren't distracted by it. We let it happen, we let what's going on behind that shine slip through because we car about the person or the situation so much. Until one day, their behavior or their need for attention becomes too much and we decide that we've had enough, they've beat us and they've now lost us because finally, even though we fought for it, they've become too much for us to handle. Too much time, energy, patient and thoughtfulness that we just simply no longer have and we finally admit that they aren't the gold that we gave them the benefit of the doubt to be. Nesbitt Pierce said a very simple, yet very true and accurate quote:

"Shiny as shit, but is it gold? Nah."

I don't think anyone could have more accurately stated that. Yes, it's so shiny you can have a problem concentrating on anything else but at the same time, if you concentrate hard enough it isn't gold, it isn't anything but a mask. A mask that is holding back the true person from being seen.

  Next time you meet someone in your life, give them the benefit of the doubt, let yourself believe that they are a good person that they have good intentions just keep a weary eye and remember once they start to look super special, and perfect or super shiny double check to make sure they're not over-shinning themselves. 

May It Be

Do you remember, as a child playing with those toys where you had to place the shaped pegs inside of the correct hole and you push so hard that it almost breaks? Then, you stop pushing, take a breath and realize that no matter how hard you push that it just isn't going to fit. Sometimes our life and the way we handle things is like being back playing with that toy. Pushing and pushing until it's close to snapping. You need to learn to step back, take a deep breath and let it go into the right hole, but in this case you need to step back and let things happen like they need to. If you don't push then things will either go back to how they were or they mold into how they should be. 

   It'll never matter how much you push you need to let things come as they may, let it happen like it needs to because when you do that things will one way or another be alright.

Be.

Sometimes there are no words for a mood you're feeling. Not because you can't put words into the situation and you can't describe your mood but simply  because you can't seem to find a way to explain why you feel the way you do. Simply because. And that is it. Because. Just is. You are feeling fabulous and you don't care why you do, it is as simple as you feel amazing and that is that.

  When you feel that way, just let it happen. Just let yourself feel that amazing and feel that stupendous without asking why, just let it be. 

Be Yourself

Yes! I know that is the worst advice someone can give you. "Be yourself." How can you be yourself when sometimes you don't even know who 'you' is? Well, when it call comes down to it, you need to breathe, relax and just let your body take control.
  Let your body do the talking for you, because when you breathe, center yourself and let your body take over, your mind often settles down, and just follows suit.
  Allowing this to happen, to let your body take the reigns, things fall into place and they go back to normal. Or at least as normal as your life possibly can be :)

Learning From Your Mistakes

There are times in your life when things come up and you much overcome them, suffer in the pain or learn from them.

 This evening i learned Do not mix your past with your present and future, things will become a mess and you will instantly regret it, you just need to pray it isn't a mistake you regret for the rest of your life. Learn from your mistake, seek forgiveness and move on, allowing it to become the past.

Keep It Coming

Everyday you are going to be faced with things that you'll never quiet understand. Why is it happening, Why couldn't this just be easier, why do things have to be so confusing? Everyday there is going to be a new challenge for you to keep yourself going. That's just how life works.
 You just have to find something to keep yourself going with, whether it be something as simple as recalling memories, looking at pictures to something as complicated as switching up your entire look. Either way you choose to go you need to find something that works for you to keep yourself going.
  Things can get erased, lost or broken and you can either take it as something that happened purely by accident or you can tell yourself this is the universes way of telling yourself that you needed a fresh start and that you need to start things over. As hard as it may be you needed to start again and you weren't going to do it yourself so the universe made an executive decision and did it for you. Take a moment, let things sink in but then tell yourself: Things will only get better from here.
 Then pick yourself up, clean yourself off, brush your hair back and say:

      "Okay universe, I've got this. Keep it coming."

Speaking Your Mind

Sometimes a confession is the easiest way to get out the truth.

Confession:
              The truth is, I'm sitting out under the stars thinking about Quasars, how beautiful it is just to see all the stars and how amazing it is that there is so much going on around us. I'm thinking about how spectacular and outstanding you are and how much i miss you. How I want to talk to you more than anything; even though i'm the one who asked for space and how I wish, every time someone is at the front door i'm praying it's you; coming to get me. Coming to get me just to tell me you want me and that you love me. I'm thinking that I know i shouldn't be writing this and it isn't going to help things move along any more than they are and that it doesn't matter if i should or shouldn't be writing this because you most likely aren't going to read it anyway. But on the off chance that you do i just wanted to let you know you are The Joker to my Harley Quinn. You always will be. I love you and I hope you're looking up at the stars and thinking. <3
