Why

Why everything?
Why do I think the thoughts I think?
Why do I know the people I know?
Why do I act the way I act?
Why do I believe what I believe?
Why do I have the opinions I have?
Why!!!!!!!??????
If I could scream to the sky and receive answers I would be out there in the rain right now screaming until I couldn't breathe.
I have so much more questions that will probably never be answered..
"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thinking

I have come to realize that there will be things that go wrong. Things won't always be how you want. You will get sad. You will fix things that you messed up. You'll wish for things that may or may not ever happen. Yet, things will get better.
Everything happens for a reason.
You're feelings will get hurt. You'll hurt someone else's feelings. A thousand thoughts will race through your mind wondering what they're thinking and if you actually upset someone else.
Limits will be tested and boundaries will be broken.
You'll get mad. You'll anger someone else. You'll cry and you'll scream.
So should we just give up on our visions on a perfect world?

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail."

Anger,Loss,and Questions

Respect people's boundaries.
People are different. So just stop if you can tell that they are getting irritated.

I snapped at some people. I don't really feel all that bad. I do feel a little bad, possibly because I'm a little hurt because people can't seem to understand. I'm upset that I can't get a point across. I have issues. I just don't know what to say..

Flaws

Why do some people point out flaws?
I mean the person you're talking about doesn't really appreciate it and they probably already know.
Why can't we just accept each other as we are?
I mean I can understand if it's a drug,drinking,intervention type thing,etc. problem, but otherwise I don't get it.
Different situations I suppose..
However, I can understand just talking relationship things out and working on becoming a better person. But things you can't help, that can be left alone. It kinda makes people feel bad.

Pictures of Sadness

Me and my family were looking at pictures yesterday and family members that actually knew some of the people in the pictures had basically forgot about them.
Pictures can be taken and saved, but it doesn't mean you'll remember the people in them or still have anything to do with them. Does it?
I'm not really sure with what I'm trying to say, but it just strikes me as odd I guess that all that is possible no matter how much we may try to forget.
Which brings me to this:
I've come across pictures that have had pieces cut out and torn to remove someone else. As much as we want to forget the things that have tainted our good memories with sadness it still saddens us. I think it's because we know who or what it was in the picture.
I can't exactly put my finger on all the reasons it makes us sad, but I can tell you that it did make me sad. (Sorry, but this is the closest quote I could find to match what I was talking about)

“We never taste happiness in perfection, our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness.” - Pierre Corneille

Love

I take love very seriously. I believe that you can fall in love at a younger age and actually love them. Some adults don't even know what love is [if you ask me]. Different people,different personalities,different emotions,different feelings,different views. You have to take all that into consideration.
Some people are users. Some people are looking to just date. Some are just trying to find the one they want to be with forever. I'm not trying to judge anyone. I sometimes do. I don't mean it. But my beliefs and opinions get the best of me sometimes.
But we shouldn't insult anyone else's lifestyle really. We shouldn't analyze their relationships. [*Side note:When I say "we" I mean as people]
Back to what I was saying: A grown person may not even know where they stand in life,where they want to be standing or anything like that. A teenager may know exactly where they stand,what they have to do to get ahead,what they want out of life,etc.
So why do people have to be negative? Why do people have to try to rain on people's parades? It's that person's life. Let them make it,mess it up,or tape it back together again.
Love is also such a broad term. However, if you're saying it to that person that makes your world then mean it. Make sure you actually love them before you mess up and just say it out of reaction. Make sure you're in love with them.

Anyone Out There?

Sometimes I wonder if there are more people out there that feel the same way I do about some things. I know of a few. However, you can't help just wondering if there's a person who feels exactly how you do.
What are we supposed to do with all of our opinions and beliefs is what I'd like to know. When some of us have opinions that could get us shot (us in general) especially. 
Are we supposed to make some kind of organization? Write a book? [*Side thing: I'm writing stories, but not revolving around my beliefs and opinions]
Are we supposed to just sit and do nothing? There's not a lot you can do if the majority of the world disagrees with you.

I Sometimes Feel Like I Have The Mind Of An Older Being

You ever feel like that?
When it seems like your opinions and beliefs are on a higher level than some other people that are your age?
I mean I don't judge.I don't try to put anyone down. I just think that some people don't take some things as seriously as I do.
Some people that are older than me probably don't take some things as seriously as I do.
Here lately, I've been thinking and some opinions have started to shift. So now I'm starting to understand and find out what my priorities are, instead of what other people say they should be.



"To laugh often and much;to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

Life

Why do we (as people) concern ourselves with nonsense?
When we can focus on better things..
I'd rather spend my time focusing on stories I'm writing,spending time with the people I love,thinking about how I can make a difference,etc.
I guess I'm just an outsider or something.
Here's to hoping,dreaming,and wishing.
