Years

It's funny. How life turns out. The unexpected often becomes the reality and the expectations we used to find so significant begin to lose their worth. It's crazy. How much difference a year can make. People change. I think every human is a living testament to that. "Healthy people grow and growing people change."
Grow, loves, and change as you do so.

Is love a choice?

They say you can't choose who you love. They also say love is a verb. A verb is an action, and a lot of the time an action is a choice. Choose to move, choose to speak. But there are certain things one does naturally. One could argue that breathe is a verb and you don't choose to breathe. Another could retort: you can hold your breath. Really, the argument could go either way. One could argue that to love comes naturally, but that one could also choose to stop loving. However, there are a lot of things that are neither black nor white, wrong nor right. I guess, there isn't really an answer to this long debated topic. A valid argument could be offered for either case. Neither party should claim to be right, because honestly, no one is. We are human so naturally we have no idea what we're talking about. I'm willing to admit I'm as confused as anyone. But, for relationships' sakes, I am willing to let it go. It is more important to love others than it is to be completely sure if their actions are right or wrong.
Consider, loves, why you believe what you believe.

Reflection

There are days when you feel as though there is no happiness in the world. There are also days when you feel as though there is no sadness in the world. On the better days, reflect momentarily on your sadness for true is happiness is sadness remembered.
I suppose then it could also be true to say that true sadness is happiness remembered and wished for. You are not content with the present situation so you dwell upon happenings of the past causing you to be more troubled by the present.
"Expectation is the root of all heartache." -Shakespeare
When you are sad, do not dwell upon happiness that lives in the past but look toward the future with hope for an even greater joy.

~And as this summer anthem comes to an end, I wait for it to begin again but suddenly realize it will not. Why? It is time for a new song.
Happy ending, loves, and happy beginning.

Perspective: Truth

Emotions are not truth, they are simply one's perception at a certain moment. If emotions were truth, truth would be ever changing and completely unreliable. It is true that truth changes (did you see what I did there?) but only per situation. Truth, at its core, is ultimate. The question I propose to you today (at an odd time such as this), dear readers, is this: is truth perfect?
~An answer I seek not, but a deeper thought.
Sweet dreams, loves. -M

My mind is a maze

"I didn't know love could shine this bright. Well smile, because you're the deer in the headlights."

I can't think of anything to say. But one thing I know to be true: no matter what you're going through, your life is worth more than your death. Because, things-good or bad- will reverse themselves and it truly worth something to look back at finished trials and realize that you've made it through to something greater.

Life is beautiful; take the time to enjoy it. Don't rush.

~my thoughts are jumbled. this is only part of the maze.

Hidden Struggles

You say beauty is bone thin.
Bones break.
You say beauty is based off of weight,
But weight is just a number.
Why can't you see that you're beautiful?
That the mirror only shows the surface?
You think you can fix yourself, that you can make yourself beautiful,
But don't you see that there's nothing wrong with you? That you are beautiful.
Starved to the bare minimum, you fight to survive.
But don't let your life hang in the balance.
You're worth so much more than your weight.
