The Earth Without "Art" is Just "Eh"

Things to always remember

Salt water stings. the sun burns. stars die.
Those who are the hardest to love sometimes need it the most.
Rejection doesn't hurt, expectation does. 
Lies don't kill, denial does.
Forgetting doesn't heal, forgiveness does.
We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.
Never lie to people, because the people you are able to lie to are the people who trust you.
The sunrise is a constant.
You will usually find what you are looking for the moment you stop looking for it.
We must be willing to let go of the life we had planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.
Books end. Music doesn't.
The biggest mistake you could ever make is being too afraid to make one.
A lot of the pain that we are dealing with are really only thoughts.
Locked doors can be unlocked.
Judging a person doesn't define who they are, it defines who you are.
You won't find the right one if you won't let go of the wrong one.
Time heals.
Things turn out best for people who make the best out of the way things turn out.
Everything will be okay in the end. if it's not okay, it's not the end.
You are worth all of it.

Love someone today. They need it more than you know.

Boys.

Hi. 

I'm a boy.

Here's how it goes...

I'm gonna flirt with you,

then diss you.

I'll send you mixed messages,

hit on your friends,

hit on your enemies,

and lie to you.

Then I will lead you on

so you fall for me.

I'll make you happy for a night,

but tomorrow

I'll completely ignore you.

You'll be the one I turn to

when I need a friend

or a confidence boost.

Know what the best part is?

You can't do anything about it

because you love me

and you don't want to lose me.

ha.

Finished for Now.

The great Dr. Seuss stated, "Don't cry because it's over.  Smile because it happened."  I must take this into hand when I feel like I want to cry because I know I should be finished with you.  I need to smile at all the happiness put in my life from you.  I wish I was brave enough to tell you the truth, but I know you do not feel the same way so it is no longer relevant.  I was told whenever in doubt to ask myself, "Will this matter in a year from now?" and I want to say, "No.  It won't.", but you have had such an impact in my life that I do not think I will forget you in a year from now when we are separated on two different paths.  Right now, I have that feeling in my stomach where I just want to scream my head off and hope that eventually you will hear me.  Do you not see me or the way I treat you?  Oh yes, the past can hurt.  But, you can either run from it or, learn from it.  I am hoping to learn from my past as we part our separate ways.  I hope to learn not to waste my time with someone hoping for something to happen.  Maybe, someday, you will understand the thoughts that run through my mind towards you, but for some reason I do not think that will ever happen.

The Doppelgänger

Last night, I had a dream that I saw your face.  It looked the same as three months ago when you greeted me with big smiles and we were the best of friends.  Your face looked without any drama or hatred like I saw filling your soul the last time we talked.  In this dream, we embraced in a hug while talking and reminiscing.  We explained to one another how much we had missed the other since the outward war had begun which seemed so ridiculous now.  We began to cry as we thought about everything we had missed and how much we depended on one another for happiness.  Nothing could stop our friendship because the only one who could hurt us was us.  Everything was exactly how I remembered.  Everything was the same as it was three long months ago.  Everything was perfect.  Then I woke up.

A doppelgänger is a ghostly double of a living person that haunts its living counterpart.  It is German for a "double walker".  I met my doppelgänger this past summer, but ignored the idea of her coming into my life.  Then, as if it was meant for us to meet again, she showed up in my life a second time.  We immediately connected and I have never felt so close to someone in my life.  Over such a short time of a few weeks, I trusted her with so much and depended on her as a best friend would as she did the same to me.  The idea of doppelgängers, though, is that once they meet, after sometime, one of the two must leave through death or disappearance and never come back.  Well, eventually some truths came out between us and our friendship disappeared.  Now, she has moved away far away from where I can even hear the stories of where her heart beat is taking her.  My doppelgänger has left and now only memories, dreams, and pictures remain.
The last time I saw you, it was as if you were only the stranger beside me.  I hope for your best and your happiness.  Every eleven eleven, I still make the wish I promised to you I would always make.  The wish you said you had never told anyone.  The wish you said that would make everything worth it.  Eventually, I know that wish will come true and all my nights of wishing for it for you will be worth it.  I hate to see someone like you with so much potential throw it all down the drain so please never give up.  You truly are amazing and if you ever need someone please know that my phone number remains the same and will always be willing to answer a phone call from you.  I can only hope someday you see this, if not... I still love you.
