Life

Life (noun)

The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death

Life

is a demon,

an angel.

it can throw you down,

or push you up.

It tests the strongest of ropes,
and breaks the weak ones.

Be ready children,

when life starts.

My life?

Its pretty good,

this past hour has made up for the entire start of 2012.

Life likes me right now.

Change

Change (noun)

The act or instance of making or becoming different.

Change.

Love it,

embrace it,

make it part of the family.
But whatever you do,

don't push it away.

Accept it,

because change is part of life.

You can either take change like it is,

or watch it leave out to door.

Now, most people are afraid of change.

But what are they really afraid of?

Because it sure isn't change itself.

It might be that thought in the back of your mind,

"they might hate me."

"i could make them angry."

Or that feeling of guilt after you tell someone something.

But whatever people are afraid of,

it isn't change itself.

Change will be coming to my life very soon,

if not already.

But I'm not going to push it away,

I'm gonna put on my big-girl pants;

buckle my seatbelt.

'Cause this is sure going to be one hell of a ride.

The Challenge

I challenge you this:

For the next week,

smile at every stranger you see and make eye contact with.

Who knows?

It could change someone's day.

Writer's Block

The moment when you can't write.
Can't type.
You have nothing inside your head.
Well,
You do have things inside your head.
Thoughts,
Dreams.
But you just can't put them into words.
Or you can,
but the words you choose,
are weird.
They don't quiet explain the situation,
or dream.
It seems I had writer's block
before writing about writer's block.
Ironic,
Isn't it?

"Know that the past was the past
this year isn't the same as the last
and that this year is for new experiences
we're all living for the future that we don't know
but what makes it worth looking forward to is just that; 
we don't know anything 
living forward is the acceptance of new things, new experiences and letting go
there's no use in comparing anything to the past
live forwards, not in reverse loves. 
because time stops for absolutely no one. 
and we're too young to want it to stop. "

Resolution

Resolution (noun)

2. a resolve or determination

New years eve comes and goes, 

and what is on some people's minds?

Resolutions.

"I want to lose       pounds."

"I want to start eating right."

"I want to work on bending and lead changes with my horse."

But what's in a resolution?

Is it for us to look good?

Show off what we have?

My resolution?

I don't have one.

Live life every day.

Take it one day at a time.

Let go of things,

don't get to uptight.

"Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?

You build up hope but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go
Let it go"

So this year,

don't make a resolution about weight,

but make it about letting go.

Of loved ones,

of grudges,

of people you aren't over.

Let go and trust me,

you'll life will be 100x happier.
