"You're going to be okay" is just a lie that people tell you because they don't know what else they can do

He left,
He forgot.
She left,
She doesn't care.

They all just leave

Nobody Knows
Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring,
will there be sunshine, will birds sing.
Is today your last day,
if it is, what will they say.
Were you good, were you bad,
were you happy, were you sad.
Will people come and mourn,
or will they wish,
you were never born.
Is it dark, or is it light,
did you try with all your might.
Is there heaven, is there hell,
whom will toll your last bell.
Is there something,
you would change,
was there things,
you left estrange.
Is there life after death,
will you haunt,
who took your last breath.
For these questions,
that nobody knows,
we'll find out,
in the end,
I will suppose.

When there's lust in love
It is so strong, it, it...it
could almost **** you.

It, it...it overwhelms you
In the corners of the morning
In the all exhausted evening,
Every moment; all the time.

Lust, and love, together
Sensual, hedonistic pleasure,
Altruistic, all-encompassing,
Of this, we mortals dream.
The Ancient Greeks had around 30 words to describe love in all its shades and complexities - we have just one.

'Eros' is the Ancient Greek term for romantic and ****** love. 'Pragma' is love which endures.

Why are there inspiring commencement speeches at the end of our tertiary education

We're finished , that encouragement , and words of Inspiration would've helped me a lot more during the middle of my studies.
Not at the end , because it's useless , it has less meaning to me now that I've got my own story of struggle , not that I'm disrespecting other people's stories but I would hold up a lot stronger discussing mine over someone else's.

I could of used these words of inspiration when I was really lost, when maybe they could've held a slight incentive to carry out a full frontal form of determination

Maybe when my photoshop indesign quits on me and loses some of my work and I'm at the brink of tears, that's when I think I need these inspirational speeches.

Not because they're a cliche but because I feel that I could relate to them in some way.
Those speeches always share fragments of the downs as well as the ups, I like to hear those downs so I know it's not just me.
I like to hear those downs because there is someone else who knows my pain.
Because there is someone else that possibly thought "well hey , maybe this is it" but only for a second while they continued trying to recover lost work, an unpopular idea , or just recovering from a  bad day.
The one thing they didn't do though, Was to give up

I could be the most terrible student but as long as I'm trying my hardest and my best I think I'll be okay

Yes it's a kick in the face when your best isn't good enough, but hey! that's life. Just think, life doesn't have a grading system
