Check it out! It's amazing! =D

What's on my mind. Part II

Sometimes it's so hard to express how you feel through words, like the feeling you get on a sunday evening when you have had an amazing day but knowing that you have to go to school or get back back uni the next day, ruins your night. The feeling you get when your with your best friends having a great time by just bumming around aimlessly. The feeling you get when small romantic gestures makes the one you truly love, smile.

It's amazing how hope can be found in something as simple as bars of a song, words of a friend. Something as simple as listening to a song can motivate you to do what you never thought you would. The hope for something better keeps us sane. It helps us go through the occasional or in some cases, constant shit we have to face. Life might just get boring if everything works out fine. I guess its true when they say, "Tragedy sells".

Something as simple as discovering a new band that you like or watching an amazing movie can make the worst of days seem alright. Something as simple as an argument or a misunderstanding can ruin the best of days. Funny how some people change their moods so quickly. Normal minds simply can't even dream of keeping up with them.

It's puzzling how people work to get somewhere very hard only to find themselves scared of actually achieving it. They build themselves a grave they refuse to come out of. Have a listen to 'Places You Have Come To Fear The Most' by 'Dashboard Confessional'. It might help to explain what i'm on about. 

I hope everyone is doing well.

What's on my mind.

Violence.
The world seems to be obsessed with this one. Anger, deception, malice, darkness and the list goes on. For some, violence is the answer. It's in their mindset. Now, I don't blame them because that's who they are and probably have been that way since ever. Once in while though, there comes a time when every life goes off course. In that desperate moment, who will you turn to? Violence will do you no good. Sure, it might get you a couple of friends, but do not be mistaken. They do not like you, they are simply scared. Believe that.

Jimmy Hendrix once said, "When the power of love takes over the love of power, world will know peace."
Yeah, that day is far off.

Love.
Everyone needs someone to support them all the time. Love has a strange hold upon a human. It make you stronger than ever or the most vulnerable you have ever been. I believe it's sad how people have died looking for love. But what's worse is to find the love of your life drive it away by sheer negligence. No one waits for anyone anymore. Then again some people look for love in all the wrong places while the person they belong with has been in front of their eyes all along. True love is not easy to find. But, if you're lucky, and i mean if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back.

Music.
Most of the teenagers like me can't live without music. More addictive than any drug it is. A successful musician in my eyes plants hope in the hearts of their listeners. Money would mean nothing to him. He would not care if he sold a platinum record or not. His biggest achievement would be if one morning a kid wakes up, puts on his record and says, "Maybe, there is more to life and I need to go out there and look for it." Music is stronger than words. It has a binding power like no other.

Friendship.
The big one. Friends mean everything. You don't get to choose your family but your friends are off your own choosing. People you spend your life with. They become the biggest part of your life and your outlet to the world you know. They can make you happy. A good friend will always have your back, but you would only get that if you reciprocate that feeling of trust. Trust is what friendship is based on. Most of our lives are a series of images, they pass us by like towns ona highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we knowthat this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that thismoment, every part of it, will live on forever. These are the moments when most likely your true friends would be standing next to you.

Dreams.
Something we strive to achieve all our lives. Sometimes they disappoint us but every step towards our dream is a triumph in itself. "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to greatness." Everyday we wake and make a decision, to move forward in lives or to simply give up. Sometimes dreams become a burden. That's when you know that it's about time you let go of it and strive for something new. Never let your dreams be influenced. They are yours and yours only. Preserve them. Do not let anyone tell you that you are no good enough. Everyone has what it takes to be great.

Marianne Williamson once wrote - "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear isthat we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness,that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won'tfeel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do.It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our ownlights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do thesame. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automaticallyliberates others."
