Life is a mountain. You're either born at the top, Or have to make the climb up there.

There aren't many certainties in life, But here's one - People will disappoint you. And that's because they're human. And humans are riddled with flaws. Try not to take it personally.

Humans

There aren't many certainties in life, But here's one - People will disappoint you. And that's because they're human. And humans are riddled with flaws. Try not to take it personally.

The anticipation, The reality, The feeling of disappointment, Like a steel anvil in free fall.

Loneliness is my best friend. It didn't start out that way. I used to feel down When she came around. It didn't matter to her If I was with others or alone. I would try to ignore her Or distract myself with other things or people. But she would stick around anyway. Her uninvited visits don't make me sad anymore. I've come to accept her - Even embraced her the last time she came by. I can always count on her to keep me company. I wouldn't say that I prefer her, But she's grown on me.

Before you jump into a life that doesn't fit you, Get to know yourself the same way You would get to know someone else. Observe what you do, not what you say. You may find that your actions Clash with your fashionable self-portrait.

You are A breath of fresh air brushed with lavender; A book that grips and makes one ponder; An evergreen swaying in the breeze to a silent beat; The feel of warm beach sand under bare feet; The sound of sparrows singing in the noonday light; The space beneath the comforter on a snowy night. You are, Like each of these simple pleasures, One of life's exquisite treasures.

Simple Pleasures

You are A breath of fresh air brushed with lavender; A book that grips and makes one ponder; An evergreen swaying in the breeze to a silent beat; The feel of warm beach sand under bare feet; The sound of sparrows singing in the noonday light; The space beneath the comforter on a snowy night. You are, Like each of these simple pleasures, One of life's exquisite treasures.

A shallow friendship is like a can of soda. You drink it, thinking it will quench your loneliness. But it actually makes you more lonely in the end.

Feelings - fluid like water, Fluctuating states As they are exposed to the elements. The heat of unprovoked dislike Causes a rolling boil of resentment and insecurity, With the steam of confusion as its crown. The cool air of sympathy Causes it to simmer down Into lukewarm vindication. The chill of indifference Forms an icy block of aloofness That eventually crystallizes into disdain. Time, coupled with the warmth of understanding And acceptance, Melt it into affection.
