cannot say it enough.

you know as much as we may not like certain people, it's a stupid, idiotic and horrible thing to do, spreading lies, rumors, gossip... for the love of all that is good and right, don't do that. don't take part in that. don't talk crap about people. because honestly? it doesn't matter. IT DOESN'T, MATTER. do you gossip to sound super cool? do you spread rumors because it makes you feel like you're part of it all? do you lie because you need to justify yourself?
forget it.

rumors, gossip and lies do nothing for anyone. they may entertain you and your sick mind.
but they tear others apart.

I'd say the only positive thing I've learned about gossip, rumors and lies is the outcome.

you see who believed the awful lies, which "friend" started the rumors.
and you realize that your friends that weren't involved... you realize that they're important and that they're your true friends. and that you can trust them. so, they can make you stronger.


and, you don't have to prove anything to anyone.
you have nothing in this life to justify. the one thing we deserve is death.
but because there is love, we have life.

that's all there is to it.
without love, there is no life.


Are you at the edge of the cliff?
God doesn't hang out near the edge of the cliff. but He'll get there right quick if you're falling. all you have gotta do is ask.


I've decided that i can't keep trying to burn bridges because of my selfish pain.
and, I by burning them, I'm not doing anyone any good. not the people on the other side, or myself.
because, I’m not supposed to gain anything. I’m supposed to give it up. so that's what I’m doing. that's what I’m trying so hard to do. it's really difficult, you know that. I know that. but I’m working on it. you should work on it, too. let’s do it together.


I can see the end of this. the end of the bitterness in my heart. the end of the darkness in my mind. I can see it. it's a long ways off. or maybe it's closer than i think... either way, I can see it. and happiness is here. it's right here within me.

but I’ve gotta start walking down that road. it's long and it's hard and it's gonna take a lot of time and effort, but I can accomplish this.
I can do this.
I can overcome this.
I can be better than this.

I’ve waited all my life to be better than this.

but then I realized that waiting isn't gonna make things go any faster.

don't be apathetic.
don't be passive.
don't sit there and sulk.
don't sit there and complain.
do something about it.


This is a challenge. quit your apathetic ways. whatever is holding you back, make amends with it. forgive, but don't forget the lessons that were learned.
it's time to stand up for who you are and what you believe in.
it's time to get your heart and your mind on the same page.

and on the same word... "love."

this life goes so much faster than you know. faster than you realize.
for all we know, this could end tomorrow.
you could die tonight.
your world could get turned upside down in a split second.

and you're going to waste your time talking?
forget it.

I’m not who I was last year.
I hope you're not who you were last year, either.

"so take these words, and sing out loud.
'cause everyone is forgiven now.
'cause tonight's the night the world begins again..."

I really like that.
"tonight's the night the world begins again."
every night, the sun goes down and the sun rises. and if I’m the same person tomorrow, that I am today. I won't be too happy with myself. learn from your past mistakes.


keep. moving. forward.

always.
