failures.

We're all failures to some extent. There are so many things we've wanted to do, and tried to do, and it hasn't gone as we had planned, and we've failed.

But we shouldn't get down because of one thing. As people, we tend to hold on to that one tiny bit of bad that we've done, and forget all the tiny bits of good we've done.

While I'm not saying to ignore that we do make mistakes, which is something people need to also realize, that they should swallow their pride and admit when they're wrong, within our own selves, we need to be real, and know what we've done wrong, and what we've done right.

Failures should act as an opportunity for us to learn, pick ourselves up, and make a new beginning.

differences, other than physical.

People are often described as different based on physical attributes, but I just got to thinking, at 3:something AM, about one of the things I would like to call a difference between me, and most other people. In my opinion.

I think the difference between me, and most other people, is when I go to a movie with my friends, and they like it, I think I'm allowed to dislike it, and feel okay for it.

I think the difference between me, and most other people, is when I like a musician, and that musician performs, I try to understand the song, for what it's trying to be, and what it's trying to say - even if it is trying to be a joke.

I think the difference between me, and most other people, is when I like a person, I try to get to know that person to discover why I like them, and what about them I like, instead of trying to simply get closer to cling harder.

I think the difference between me, and most other people, is that what I believe, I believe it because I think it makes sense, not because someone told me it's supposed to make sense.

I think the difference between me, and most other people, is that I think.

Do you think too?

things I know.

When I acted in "Children of Eden" earlier this year, I, ironically, played the role of God, and there was a line that went "there a things a Father knows, a child can not". I feel that line sometimes in my own life, but I do believe there are things that people should know, yet remain free to make their decisions with the information at hand.

Why would you tell me not to eat the fruit, but don't tell me the negative effects of it? Try me, I think I'll be able to understand.

The of all of this is, I do wonder why people with all the information against something will still try themselves, and go do it. Just to try and see if they'll survive, despite compelling evidence to the contrary.

There are the people who are strong enough, and solid enough with themselves, to walk up to a bad person, have their exchange, and remain mostly unchanged.

Then, there are the people who would like to believe that they're strong enough, and solid enough with themselves, to walk up to a bad person, have their exchange, and remain mostly unchanged.

I would hope that the latter's belief in themselves is well placed, because I have seen some people mess up some people so badly that the victims are never close to the same.

Think of what you're doing.
Think of what you know.
Think of what you want.

Think of what you want to be.

It's something to speak of the way you are feeling. Shout! Let it all out! Don't worry about a thing, keep taking it easy.
