Reasons

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these tests, life would be a smoothly paved, straight, flat road leading to nowhere; safe and comfortable, but dull and pointless.

"It's not always rainbows and butterflies it's compromise that moves us along." - Maroon 5

"My body is my journal and my tattoos are my story" - Johnny Depp

As you're reading this, your life is getting shorter. It's ticking away. I'm not saying this to frighten you or even scare you. Though it may. I'm saying this to awaken and inspire you. To raise you out of your deep slumber. To really know you won't live forever.

"A strong person is the one who knows how to be quiet, shed a tear for a moment and then pick up their sword and fights again."

"Even a good decision, if made for the wrong reasons can be a wrong decision." - Pirates of the Caribbean

I think, under the surface, everyone is good. Beneath a cool, controlled exterior could be chaos and confusion. This person suffering to get control and let someone know of their agony... but they don't release it. They bottle it inside them. Why? Fear. Fear that a person they tell their deepest darkest secrets will turn on them. Why? Because, we live in a world of cruel people. But why are people so hateful now days? Why are we bound to attack each other and hate each other? Didn't anyone teach them to love thy neighbor?

The higher you build your walls around your heart, the harder you fall when someone breaks them down. The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse that it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.

"When you can tell the story and it doesn't bring up any pain, you know its healed." - Lyania Vanzant

Above all else, guard your heart for everything you do flows from it. - Proverbs 4:23

Even if we hadn't met that day, my life might not have been any different. We met that day because we were supposed to meet. If we hadn't met then and there, we could have just met somewhere else sometime.

I forget to breathe when you're around, my heart skips a beat and falls right out. I just can't breathe or make a sound, cause you're too beautiful right now, inside and out.

STOP looking at me! I'm sick of giving you the satisfaction of seeing what a beautiful mess you've created.
