SOmething REal

The past couple months, especially weeks have been a series of ins and outs. Half awake, half asleep. Not always aware, not always there. always trying, always looking. given 1000 piece puzzle... trying to find myself. First semester of college and I've learned more of myself than all the 18 years of my life. That may be, I knew who I was until High School. I decided to try something new and maybe took it too far. I fell off the deep end. I've been there and now I'm coming back again. I've had my lows, but I've had my high's. Man have I had my highs, but I seem to only remember the lows. I've put off solving the puzzle of my life. Now its occured to me that I might need to solve this puzzle, see who I am and what I want, maybe live for something. I've always had sometihng to live for. The only time I haven't I've fallen so far down I'm out of breath. Solve 1000 pieces in one week. I've already made the edge. I haven't been myself, and yet I have.
I'm strong. I'm better off now than before. I will lead the way. Follow the light. I'm ever improving. This system won't beat me down any longer. I have control. I'm the pimp, not the ho. Time is running out, but I'm finding something.
I've always had a plan for my life until college. It's happened to everyone I've ever known. They go to college and somehow realize theres more to life and have to choose... to throw out their life or save it. All that they knew and believed is tested. Somehow I thought that wouldn't happen for me, but it has. ALl my plans, all my dreams have been reevaluated. are they worth it, can i do it. do i want to. How important sometihng is to you is determined by how long you're willing to wait for it. i'll wait for you. i'll wait for love, i'll wait for money. there's no need to wait for happiness. it's already here. i'm beginning to find it once more. there will be a new me, a better me after break. take note of my changes.
ive been looking for something real. a couple times i thought i found it, but they turned out to be fake. when i find something real i can't move past it. im drawn to it. im drawn to truth and im drawn to innocence. im drawn to simplicity and natural beauty. im drawn to purpose, but can't go on with out spontaneity. what do i want?
don't ever hesitate. never hold back a thought. never fear my opinion or response. if you want me, if you want me to listen tell me. that is truth and that is real. no lies, just honesty. my love is there. embrace it. ill embrace you. who cares what it sounds like...whats more important is what it is. theres life only limited by time. don't let it slip away. dont sleep it away. dont ignore it or wait for the perfect moment. dont wait until things change or opportunity knocks. open the door yourself. find your own opportunity. sweet dreams!!

Weak

I feel like breaking things. I wrote for an hour, maybe one of my deepest and most personal posts yet, and somehow I lost the entire thing. ::SCREAMS:: Why WHY did that happen? Was it not meant to come out? How could I ever repeat all that I just said? I'll try!

Do you ever feel weak all over? Like, something rather light just seems to heavy to lift. It really has nothing to do with your muscles but more your mind. I don't have a weak mind, but sometimes I believe I have a weak spirit. Maybe it's a lack of desire. I catch myself saying one thing and doing something else. As much as I like this city, the city I feel that it is slowly killing my spirit. I miss the beauty of nature in the country. I just need to get away and refuel.

Who are you? Who am I? Who are you to say that I'm not who I say I am? And me you? What is it that makes people want/have multiple personalities, sides, masks? I have had many sides. I never was being untrue to myself. Each side of me was really me. It just turns out that these people only saw this side of me and those people a different side. But somewhere along the line they all melted and mixed into each other. It's like taking several neat stacks of different categories of papers and shuffling them all into one big pile. As a result I seem to have mood... not swings, but changes. There is no consistency like before. You may see various sides of me. One good thing about having only side is that I have gained a spontaneity characteristic, which is new for me. But what I need to do is reorganize this stack of papers and then restack them in order to have no mask be be layered and deep.

I am a laid back kind of guy. There is no need to be complicated. I know people who really try to be complicated. Many times people seem to confuse being complicated with being deep. Being complicated may give the appearance of being deep, but they can actually be very shallow. Others are both complicated and deep. Which makes them appear to be even deeper, but this just leads to endless mazes. There is no reason to make things complicated. Just be yourself.

I want to change. Everyone should try to change. I want to change not because I don't like who I am, but because I realize I'm not seizing the day. There is so much more out there and I'm just watching it all pass by. I can be better. I can be more. I can do more. I want more. Why settle for something less?

---Some people feel that change is not of your control. In fact everything you are, none of it is really your control. It all goes back to the experiences you have had. If someone else was placed in every experience that you were in they would be exactly like you. That's not true. It's possible, but the experiences doesn't make the person. It is all based upon how that person reacts to it and their attitude about it. A good example is that of the pessimist and optimist. I know people who get very little sleep, live a very busy life, and complain about it, being negative toward life. Then I see others who get less sleep and have a busier life, given less time to themselves, but they accept their lack of sleep and busy life as part of college/life and can't wait to reap the benefits ahead of them, always positive and never complaining. It is also argued that people's attitudes in life are also based upon experiences from earlier in their life. I believe this is mostly true. But there's more to it than that. I believe astrology has something to do with it, ones birthday. Not all predictions from astrology is true, but i believe theres some truth to it. Also one's name. How many times have you thought, they don't look like a Michael or something like that? You characterize people by their names because people really do seem to be similar because of their name. Most importantly there is so much character that comes from genetics. This has been proven with children who have never known their parents and siblings and yet have similar personality traits. Even siblings may have similar interests in foods, movies, music, and clothes despite possibly never knowing each other.---

NO, I can change. It will take a good deal of deteremination and self-discipline and self-motivation as well as encouragement from my peers, but it can be done. The influence one can have on me by their encouragement or lack there of is strong. Please don't hold me back. I just have to create an image in my mind of what I want to be, to work toward. No one is or can be perfect because we're human. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with aiming for it. Set your goals high.
---shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars---

But first I have to understand myself. I'm learning fast. What is it I want? I fear? My priorities? My desires? I've got to go for what I want/need. It sure won't come on its own.

Lets be honest shall we. There are many times I haven't lied but let others think what they want and not specified whether its true or false. Sometimes I've encouraged others opinions of me because some how they came to a conclusion on their own that they obviously wanted to believe (maybe subconsciously).

Honestly:

  • I have NEVER been drunk
  • I have NEVER had sex
  • I have NEVER smoked
  • I HAVE been high on multiple occaisons
  • I HAVE seen people having sex
  • I HAVE seen real boobs and felt them and the like
  • I HAVE watched porn
  • I HAVE cussed
  • I HAVE lost ones close to me

Pet Peeves:

  • Stupid High School Drama and Jokes
  • Drama Kings
  • Gossipers and Rumors
  • Forgetting Good Dreams
  • Alarms that wake me up during a good dream
  • A Lack of Communication (#1)
  • A Lack of Concern
  • Narrow-mindedness (You can be open-minded and narrow-minded both)
  • Fakes, Posers
  • Dishonesty, Untrustworthy
  • Your Mom Jokes
  • Negativity

As much as these things annoy the crap out of me, it'd be hypocritical of me to say I've never been apart of it. But there it is, to the best of my memory, what I had just posted and lost.

The Search for Solid Ground

This is the Dawning of the Rest of our Lives...
Sometimes I get so caught up in my little life that I forget about everything else in this world. I forget to care about others, or try to understand them. On the other hand sometimes I have a tendency to get too involved. Here lies my struggle to find the balance. And another war I'm losing is one with myself. I want 1 thing but I just seem to fail horribly at getting it. Not because I don't have the ability but because I lack the self-discipline and sometimes I wonder if it really is my desire. The truth is... I don't know what I want, and that makes it difficult to get it. Also I lack money, and do not want a job. I could get a job, and I probably should, but I really don't want to so I never seem to make any effort to. Man, I'm hungry. But there are other desires that I know that I want, but I don't really know how to approach it. Today will be a good day for me to get organized and make some sense in my life. Hopefully I'll "wake up" and get a grip on things. I'm not really what i'd call falling, but maybe sinking. I need to get back on solid ground. Clayton is gone for the weekend. WOOT WOOT!. What, he doesn't read this. Hmm... well I must get something to eat. I'm starving. What's everybody doing over fall break? I'm going to go to Chad's party for AP tonight. I guess I'm going to mostly study. I've got nothing better to do, than just a self-analysis. Later!!! Post something people!
