dad-isms:
“Life is not about avoiding suffering. Life is about learning to suffer well (cruel language…I know). The child who is taught to avoid pain altogether will encounter much more pain in life than necessary. It is painful to have broken relationships because you do not know how to respect others. It is painful to never meet goals because you are not disciplined. It is painful to have...

Love 101
riprock-rocketship:
I’ve been thinking about something important.
People learn to build walls around themselves (metaphorically speaking) because of a painful past. People learn to hate because they once loved and looked up to something or someone and those people ruined it one time or another. Basically, people run away/hide/push away/put up walls/etc.
It occurred to me that it is always...

labellechaos:
I don’t know… you get back up because you have to, you know? How else are you going to live your life? What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger - and it’s true, I promise you. If you don’t like what’s going on in your life, you have to do something to fix it. You can’t rely on other people to make you happy or to give you what you need. No, most of those things have to come...

How to ‘Let It Be’
julie911:
Written by Agent Sully
Something has you upset. You can’t get it off your mind. You’re troubled and you struggle with this ball of bad feelings. What’s the advice we frequently hear from others and even from ourselves? “Just let it go.” Well, that’s easier said than done. “Just let it go” implies a sort of active forgetting. You’ve probably tried the...

a view from the top.
Today.. I was told this story about a man who moved to New York despite having never been to the States before, he felt like New York would be the place for him.

He felt like he had made a...

letting go.
No, I am not talking about people.
I am talking about all the anger and hurt i’ve held onto practically my whole life. Ever since I can remember, i’ve always been a very angry person. There have been many times that I let my anger control me, it affected everything in my life; it affected the decisions I made, my reaction to certain things, how I dealt with things in certain...
Journal Entries #1 (June 3, 2008)
riprock-rocketship:
I was going through my old journal and I found this:
“I’m only 14 years old but why do I understand reality? Does this mean I’m a realist or am I just really good at knowing what is real and what isn’t? I think people are scared of reality because it hurts. Reality loves to slap us away from ‘dream state’. It shows us that life is not a joke and if we make it a joke, that is...
