Faith. Hope. Love.
I don't have answers. I don't really know much.
But I know that those things ignite something in your heart, casting away the darkness of fear and regret.

When the cobwebs in the basement are cleared, you find all your old dreams hidden in corners you forgot about.

And when you pound your fist in the dirt, and say enough is enough... I'm not here to survive, I'm here to LIVE... to laugh and play and realize my deepest passions... to find the ocean of joy and invite everyone I know to swim in it with me. To love myself daringly; to dance with the darkness of my fears and invite their lessons in.

Something doesn't have to change. Everything has to change.
I'm not interested in being right anymore.
I'm interested in being ALIVE.

When you commit these things to yourself, and fight for love, for hope, for the adventure of really living all the way... something happens.

Something flips inside you, and heaven begins pounding at your door.

Life has always waited patiently on you to stop waiting patiently.

Adventure isn't around the corner. It's hiding underneath your heart.

Right here. Right now.
The beating of my heart... measured into words. Happy New Year. Contact me at [email protected] to share your feelings on my work. :)

Long Sleeves.
Always long sleeves.
Even the summer.


Who here gets it?
It doesn't mean you're "just cold".
repost if you get it.

There are monsters in this world.
They just aren't what we thought
when were young and innocent.
Their sly smiles and coy grins
are not pointy toothed and rotten.
Their teeth are white and straight
and you can never see their true intentions.
Shadowed minds and twisted souls
do not reflect on the outside anymore.

How to be Happy
 Jan 2015 Atta

1) Think about him more often, how much he loves you, how much he makes you feel worth it, his kind words.

2) Remind yourself that there are people who need you in this world. People who would do anything for you, and that you would do anything for them. Remember that you are loved by many.

3) Smile more, at the little pleasantries in life, being able to sleep in late, waking up to see his smiling face, having the best breakfast ever, not tripping over yourself when walking out the door.

4) Remember the times you made someone else happy, remember what happiness feels like. How you made her smile even with a broken heart. How you made him laugh with a simple gesture.

5) Count to ten, erase the worries, put your best self forward. Put aside yourself, focus on others. When you do, you will make them feel better, ultimately helping yourself be happy.

6) Be in the company of people who you care about and care about you. They will always be worth it, they are the ones that matter.

7) Be yourself. Stop worrying about what others think, and worry about what you think. Do you like the shirt? Do you like the way you treated him? Be honest with yourself. ***** what society thinks.

8) Do the things you like to do. You control the day, you control how you feel, you control your actions. So do things that make you happy.

9) YOU control how you feel, not others. Make sure you're happy. Breakup? Tell yourself, no. (S)he was an *******. Bad work day? Remind yourself of what went well, and that things always get better.

10) Finally, remember, that YOU matter. Let yourself go. Live a little more, enough to scare death away. You need some "me" time, you deserve it.
Feel free to comment on any additions you would like to make, and i'll add them ^^ hope you have a splendid day, and that you are happy :)
(btw number one, that was for you, kiyu, if you couldn't tell ;)

Who would have thought
two years made a difference?
Two years is not that long
in the grand scheme of things.
Two years ago, I didn't know
so much that I do today.
Two years ago, I wouldn't have
made some of the choices I did.
Two years ago, I could smile,
a genuine smile, with real emotion.

If I could go back to two years ago,
I would change what I did,
Warn myself that not everyone is good.
I used to believe that everyone was good
even if they were only good in some tiny way.
I know better now some people will never care
how much pain they cause.
Two years ago, I wish I'd known.

I wish that I could fly
I wish that I could lie
I wish that I could cry
I wish that you would tell me why

I wish that we could dance
I wish we'd followed through the glance
I wish we would take the chance
I wish that we had romance

I wish that I could sing these words
From across the room
And as soon as you hear my voice
Your camera would focus and zoom

I also wish that you were the one
I really wish we could have fun
I really need to know if you're done
Do you know where I'm coming from?

Because this heartache is killing
And I'm not willing
To stay through a sitting
Of a show that I'll end up quitting

And one last thing

I wish I was alive
I wish we could survive
I wish you could revive
I wish I wasn't a ghost
