Life is a
constant pull
between
running &
fighting

and

your brain
tricks you
into believing
that

nobody cares.

It is all in your head.
Not in your heart.

Every day that you wake up,
you have a choice
to be better
or worse
than the day before.

And even if there
is no point to
this life-

let that be a reason
to ignore
all of the people
that drain you
of your energy
and let go of
the problems
you CANNOT control.

This world is
temporary.
This pain is
temporary.
This moment
is temporary.

And so are you.

Please,
smile more.
Laugh more.
Express more.
Do everything you can to
leave your mark.

There is no concept of time,
anymore.

There is only you
and what you adore;

keep it.
Smile today(:

In this place
chopping so much your hand cramps,
so you have to hold it by the wok
for five minutes before it unclenches,
is something to by proud of.

In this place
college students scoop and cook
to pay for school,
or pay off school,
instead of applying what they learned,
which cost them more than money.

In this place
the line never sleeps,
you are Pavlov's dogs
trained to a bell.
And if you are unlucky enough
to be put in the kitchen,
you'll find it worse than Hell.
From a time when I did not like my job.

yes I see her and I'll still see her even if I close my eyes or leave the room. I'm not obsessed with her imagie just amazed how she seems to glow so I can't help but keep on Staring when she's looking down or away from me and yeah I know she's not mine but i swear she's not his, well she is but that's not the point, the point is I'm not the point and she belongs to herself.

Express what's in you

The expression of our pain
is a big part of the healing process.
In fact, it is the most important
because the expression of pain
has a greater impact than both
the pain and the healing.
put. together.
express the pain .
