Change can fall upon us gradually like leafs changing colors in the fall.
Other times it hits virtually out of nowhere and unexpectantly like a hurricane.
Sometimes it tosses us to and fro causing us to scramble to get a firmer foothold.
Other times change can appear more subtlely like a warm gentle breeze such as gradually falling in love.
Change can both bring about both fear or anticipation dependent upon  our perception of the outcome.
The winds of change will blow that is something over which we have no control it is part of life.
However, change can either strengthen us or weaken us the choice is up to us regarding our attitude and reaction to changes in our lives.
I sit here and ponder at life.
A lot of time to think to myself.
Through all the good times and the bad times.
All alone.
Several brothers and sisters.
Our bond forged in fire.
Not by blood but blood would be given for them.
Caring for everyone in hope they would do the same.
Those close to you are royalty.
They're perfect to you.
Friendships that you wish would last forever.
Anything would be given to help.
I have a lot of time on my own.
No brothers.
No sisters
Only child
Lonely.
I don't know where this was going but I've just helped a friend and have stuff on my mind.

When I call you beautiful,
does your world shine
because mine is enchanted
when I look at you?

Beauty breathes in tender sighs,
when yours appears before my eyes


When I call you beautiful,
does your heart skip a beat
because I am expressing
exactly what I see?

Perfection forms reality,
this beauty that you share with me


When I call you beautiful,
do you smile
because if you do,
I shall never stop?

Of sunny days and sights they bring,
your beauty outshines every thing


When I call you beautiful,
do you truly understand that you
are the most beautiful woman
I have ever seen?

*The world and all it does display,
your beauty in my heart shall stay
Twinkle, twinkle little star, were millions on millions of miles apart.
Your powerful beams shine so bright, even lighting the moon on a cold, harsh night.
You touch the lives of all that see you, setting example for more than a few.
We hope you can keep on gleaming as the hearts of all are beating.
When you finally go and never come back, are planet will be cast in black. Through the darkness will come a cheer as a new beam of light appears.
Don't touch, feel.
Don't hope, trust.
Don't frown, smile.
Don't plan, do.
Don't think, wonder.
Don't dream, achieve.
Thoughts from a long bus journey home
Depression isn't sadness.
Many think the two correlate but sadness is a mood where as depression is as much physical as mental.
Sadness can change easily as the wind can change direction.
Depression is being trapped in the wind, no obvious path to escape.
Depression is an island of thoughts and feelings where nothing makes sense.
Depression is being under a relentless cloud which rains only upon you, it's a barrier between you and the outside world.
It cannot be fixed easily, a broken bone is obvious and physical where as a broken brain is not so much.
The most important part of the body can be damaged and hindered so easily.
2 choices.
The hard one or the easy one.
Which path you take defines you.
Written for a friend to the best of my ability, not enough people will see this but it's a serious issue. Let's make this world happy, peace not war, love not hate, sleep not death.
