diary screaming out loud

QUOTE
"I feel like I'm standing naked in front of the crowd and these words are my diary screaming out loud and I know that you'll use them however you want to."
-Breathe (2 AM), Anna Nalick

everything i do and everything i say are ways of peaking into my soul. but i've become very good at hiding what i truly feel. i put up a facade and only if you catch me in a moment of weakness can you see the true me.

it's the strongest thing i've got. the one thing that keeps me together. my facade that hides me. it's as strong as i am, which is considerable. i am strong, i've learned this through the many times i've come out of something alive and whole, with only scars to prove i was there.

i am strong, and that is the reason i hide myself.

dangerous damage

QUOTE
"Damaged people are dangerous because they know they can survive."

when i read this quote i had two reactions. the first one was serious, sadness. the second was laughter.

i was serious/sad because this is the truth. once you go through something hard, the next thing that is hard is much easier to deal with. but it's sad that youhad to go through ANYTHING that is hard. it would be nice if life was easy. but that's not the way it is. hard things come around all the time. but each new one makes the next one that much easier.

i was laughing because we are damn dangerous. we fear nothing because we know we can handle it. beware of us.

but, this all boils down to faith and love. in order to make it trough hard things you have to have faith that you'll make it through and the love of someone you care about. and that past knowledge that you made it then, you can make it now.

1 Corinthians 4:17

QUOTE STORY

--A hundred reasons why I shouldn't, but I lost my heart in wanting him to win. –We Run, Sugarland--

sometimes things that shouldn't be, happen anyways

--I never thought I'd risk the chance of being hurt again, but when I see you it's all worth it. --

sometimes people promise things

--I'll never hurt you--

sometimes they just can't keep promises

--She had said yes and it hadn't been a lie then. But it turned into a lie at some point, because here she is. -Nick and Norah--

sometimes they all turn into lies

--Love is like a piano falling from a four story window and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. - Ani DiFranco, Two Little Girls --

sometimes love kills

--Love is like lightening... you get struck once, babe, and it kills--

and sometimes that's ok

--They say you can't live without love. Tell them oxygen is more important. –House--

because some things serve a higher purpose

--I am sending you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Jesus Christ -1 Corinthians 4:17--



i decided to read the bible and i started with 1 Corinthians (don't ask how... it was long and random) so i was just reading it and i come across that verse up there ^. my brian froze and i almost peed myself. i understand now why all of this happened. god sent me tim to remind me that he is there. almost god's way of slapping me and saying "wake up, bitch. i'm right here" so, this all happened for a reason and that verse cements that fact. i hope you realize how monumental this all is. how wonderful that verse is and that i found it right away in the bible like that. JC's up there cheering for me.

i am strong

QUOTE
i am strong because i am weak
i am beautiful because i know my flaws
i am a lover because i am a fighter
i am fearless because i have been afraid
i am wise because i have been foolish
i can laugh because i have known sadness

just because something bad happens doesn't mean that you can't learn from it. it doesn't mean you can't turn it around and be happy.

in order to enjoy the good moments in life you have to know what it feels like to be beaten down. to be thrown in the dirt and spit upon. so you can crawl back up and look up and feel the sun on your face and the warmth of the breeze and know it's not something you can take for granted. every little thing that is good in life is there to balance out all the bad things.

life is never perfect. nothing is perfect. but every single thing has some good quality.

think of something you dislike about yourself. now think of something good. keep doing that (and don't be modest) it's funny how it all balances out

life really isn't as bad as it seems

anger manager

i don't have a quote today. i don't have the time to find one. so i'll just talk about my issues.

sometimes when you get angry, so angry that you can't hold in your emotions and you HAVE to let them out physically. it's really hard, because you most likely end up breaking something. but you just gotta get a little bit of it out. throw something that you know can't break or slam doors or in someway express your anger WITHOUT harming anything or anyone.

then you just gotta take a step back. call someone. serious shit. call someone who will help or just someone you trust. it doesn't matter if they can help you or not. you just need something to do so you stop throwing things, because if that goes on too long you will end up breaking something important. and that sucks

after you've called said person stay on the phone until you calm down enough not to do anything stupid. just calm down and stay calmed. and after that do things that will distract you. do not just sit there otherwise you'll resort back to your throwing tendancie. so. here's the steps to being angry:

1. throw a few things
2. call someone trustworthy
3. calm down
4. stay calm for a while
5. get off the phone
6. find things to do so you don't relapse 'cause if you do you have to go back to the beginning and that's six steps... that's a lot. ugh. and i bet the person you called won't be happy with you calling them again. so... don't skip this step.

alright. so. this was really my way of dealing with intense anger/freaking. it works. i had to do it today.

change

QUOTE
It's sad how times change.


it is indeed sad. so many things can change in such a short amount of time. just look back at the last month of your life... the last six months? the last year? i'm sure you can measure that time in how much you've changed and how much your world has changed.

i look back and i can't believe it. i literally have to do a double take on who i used to be. i have changed so much, i shutter to think of who i was. it scares me. i am content with who i have become, even through all of the tough shit i had to go through to get here.

it was all worth it to become the person i am today. beautiful and wonderful and semi-calm. (i've been workign on that ;)) anyways.

look back in yoru life and see how you changed. what certain things made you who you are. and if you're going through some tough times rigth now, just know it can all get better. it's all just there to help you grow up into someone wonderful.

FAITH

QUOTE

"Just because someone follows a certain faith does not necessarily mean it is the rigth path... perhaps no one religion contains all of the truth of the world. Perhaps every religion contains fragments of the truth and it is our responsibility to identify those fragments and piece them together."

-Brisingr, Christopher Paolini

faith and religion are two very hard topics to talk about. i realize this... i've just been searching for exactly waht i believe for the past month and it's quotes like this seem to confuse me even more.

how do we know what or who god really is? i think we all have something that we think he is, every person thinks of him differently. i believe that he morphs to whoever each person needs. so when each religion tries to force others to believe the say way as them it's wrong. one can not simply be told what to believe. we have to look into our hearts and see.

i just think the religious turmoil in my life needs to take a back burner. i will figure it all out in time and God will help me see him in the correct light. for now i only worry about the little things in my life and trying to make the best of it. God wants me to keep myself happy. and that's what i'm going to do. i think everyone should do what they can to make themselves happy.
