This is what happens

Imma just sit and write for a few.

Unrequited love sucks.

Movies will never make you feel good about your own life

Dark streets are both lonely and intriguing

I try too hard sometimes to write blogs that mean something. I need to just spend more time writing for me. For the sake of writing. Because good things come when you’re just trying to be real. And not when you’re trying too hard.

Congratulations to all those out there who just got married. I hope the best things for each and every one of you. I don’t know how you did it. But you latched onto something that worked and I pray you always remember why it worked.

Getting lost in work is easy I’ve found. And it’s a little odd because work is never something I took very seriously until now. But it sure is easy to distract yourself from everything you love with the things that you need to get done.

I’m a little tips tonight and I’m not ashamed of it. It makes me more cognizant of everything that’s going on. And honestly, attacking alcohol as an enemy is sheer ignorance. The only enemy in the matter is myself, or yourself anyway.

I hate how people shift blame onto things that they don’t want to take responsibility for. My favorite one is “society”

Hah. Like society is any different from you and me. Each and every person dictates exactly what society says and wants. Society is nothing more than a net sum of everything that everybody wants.

Society wouldn’t push stuff on you if you really didn’t want that stuff to begin with. It reacts in response to your own desires, dreams, idealisms, and wishes.

Maybe you see differently than the majority. But stop acting like society is this random third party entity that manipulates and distracts us from the things that are really important. Because all “society” seeks to do… is to sell to us exactly what we tell it we want.

As a collective. And honestly, yeah. We are a collective forever and always. You can’t escape it. We are forever individuals but caught in a collective we often don’t agree with or commend.

So speak your mind… otherwise you get lost in it. You become a silent part of the whole and then complain about how it swallows you up. Convince people to be on your side. Convince other’s that what you believe is right and true.

Because a lot of people are never really that cognizant of what is going on. They assume they’re victims in a circle they can’t escape. When they don’t realize they’re the answer they’ve been looking for.

It takes work and courage… but honestly, you helped yourself get into this mess. We all have. We are society. We are the thing we’re fighting.

That is a core spiritual truth too.

We are the very thing we’re fighting.
