A lil something I found on Facebook..

When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure. But when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher. In the game of love, it doesn’t really matter who won or who lost. What is important is you know when to hold on and when to let go! You know you really love someone when you want him or her to be happy, even if their happiness means that you’re not part of it. Everything happens for the best. If the person you love doesn’t love you back, don’t be afraid to love someone else again, for you’l never know unless you give it a try. You’ll never love a person you love unless you risk for love. Love strives in hurting. If you don’t get hurt, you don’t learn how to love. Love doesn’t hurt all the time. Though the hurting is still there to test you, to help you grow.

Don’t find love, let love find you. That’s why it’s called falling in love because you don’t force yourself to fall. You just fall. You cannot finish a book without closing its chapters. If you want to go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages. Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress. It is a lifetime venture in which we are always learning discovering and growing.

The greatest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go. We lose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves. On falling out of love, take some time to heal and then get back on the horse. But don’t ever make the same mistake of riding the same one that threw you off the first time. To love is to risk rejection, to live is to risk dying to hope is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing! To reach for another is to risk involvement, to expose your feelings is to expose true self, to love is to risk not to be loved in return.

How to define love: fall but do not stumble, be constant but not too persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand hurt but never keep the pain. Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that always last for a lifetime. Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire you and give you joy and strength. But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end.

Loving people means giving them the freedom who they choose to be and where they choose to be. For all the heartaches and the tears, for gloomy days and fruitless years, you should give thanks, for you know, that there were the things that helped you grow. Loving someone means giving him the freedom to find his way, whether it leads towards you or away from you Love is a painful risk to take but the risk must be taken no matter how scary or painful, for only then you’ll experience the fullness of humanity and that is love. Only love can hurt your heart, fill you with desire and tear you apart Only love can make you cry and only love knows why. If you’re not ready to cry, if you’re not ready to take the risk, if you’re not ready to feel the pain then you’re not ready to fall in love. There was a time in our lives when we became afraid to fall in love cause every time we do, we get hurt, then figured that’s why it’s called falling in love.

"The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves." -William Penn, Some Fruits of Solitude, 1693

Memory

I have a good memory. Well, scratch that, I have a freakishly good memory. However, with every blessing, comes it’s flaws.

It comes in handy with school, work, reminiscing on pleasant times..and I’ve always been grateful for that.

The times I hate it the most are when reflecting on times of misfortune . With having freakishly good memory, you not only remember everything in full detal, you remember how you felt and can relive that moment over and over and over.

Your heart stops the same, the pain surges from the pit of your stomach and explodes from your eyes as tears..and you’re cursing yourself for even letting yourself go down that way of memory lane.

Over analyzation comes with anxiety. Anything can trigger it, but I’ve been trying to maintain the mental fort without the assistance of government drugs. I’ve been there, tried that, and didn’t feel like myself anymore. So whatever it is that I’m meant to feel, I have.

You know what’s helped me though? Prayer. It’s a powerful thing. And it’s worked better than all the weed, liquor, and government drugs…why? Because the healing comes from within as opposed to the numbing senation from polluting your body hoping for the same effect.

Live and learn folks.

"You know what I love about you..?"

: you’re deep.

I always thought my overly-complex nature was a bad thing until a close friend embraced it. I suppose the more layers a person has, the more interesting they are to the outside world.

I really wish I could travel back in time and tell drineee circa 2006 to not delete her Xanga. Deleting the xanga does not delete the memories, they’ll still be there whether you want them to be or not.

I never realized how many people kept up with my blogs over the years until late last year. I’m saying last year as if it were a few months back.. We’re not even a week in to 2011, heh.

..Anywho..

All of the worlds’ greatest artist were fucked up mentally. They had more issues than the average person and they used their music, words, art, etcetera as their emotional outlet. I can totally cosign the movement because back in the day.. my writing kept me sane. My words were the key to my sanity.. and they helped me through one of the hardest times of my life.

What I didn’t realize was that my words were not only helping me, but they were helping others as well. The more shit I went through, the more I wrote.. and the more I wrote, the more faithful readers I gained. They say history has a way of repeating itself, and sometimes it happened simultaneously throughout the world. What I was going through, someone else was too.. and just having the comfort of not being alone from the confirmation of posts sometimes was enough for someone, anyone.

.. Fast forward to 2011 and I find myself blogging less than I ever have. The reason? I’m at a really good place in my life right now. I don’t have any emotional distresses to express to keep my sanity.. I’m happy. So here comes the time in my writing life to become versatile. I’ve found inspiration in little things here and there and am taking a step forward in growth.. if I can be a damn good writer when I’m an emotional wreck, I should be able to be a damn good writer when I’m on top of the world as well. Tis time to perfect my craft. I hear what the people want, and it’s coming, I promise.
