My Journey

I started off this blog with one of my favorite quotes and after a while I started running out of quotes to use. I went into the internet and grabbed random ones from there. I have tried to not use the same topic twice, but I did. I somehow combined topics of posts together and made something . . . . well very like me. Strange and different. My blog didn't just only get better, but I had my friends in real life say that I have changed and became more open, about my life and things that go on in it.

I can't really say that my blog got better, but I can say that I feel like it has. We all know saying and feeling like it, is different. This post is short about that is about all I can say about this topic.

Music Lesons

I’m going to try and do something a little different, and instead of always having a quote from a person (known or unknown) I am going to put songs and the parts that are important to me and that I think have a deep meaning.

First up - “Without Walls” by, the amazing band, Memphis May Fire. The first two lines of the song are:

“This is who we are! These are the roads we paved. The strength we found and the mistakes we made along the way.” 

Not only does his voice sound heavenly, but the song lyrics are strong and seem like they can hit home with anyone, almost. Those lines are saying that the way you are is they way you are and you made yourself they way you are. The strength was found you weren’t born with it and the mistakes are there but they are not the most important thing. 

The rest of the short one minute and 40 some odd seconds are amazing and I love all of it. You really should listen to it for your self, and tell me what you think? (Be warned there is some screamo in the song)

Second song and the last one - “Face Down (Album Version)” by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. This song is amazing! For some people it hits some a little more than others, because it’s about abuse. (Kinda funny story my competition-karate-team-captain thinks this song will be great for when we teach the self defense seminars [they are mostly for abuse victims]). I have two different sets of lines I want to share with you today. First:

“A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect. Every action in this worlds will bear a consequence.”

It’s very very true. One little thing makes an effect that will stay for a very long time. Forgetting your Chapstick for a day, can lead to having capped lips. Capped lips can lead to irritation. Ect. and ect.. Then the action part is just reinstating the ripple effect. Second set of lines:

“Face down in the dirt, she said ‘I’m fine.’ She said, ‘I finally had enough.’”

It says that you can only take so much before you decide that that is enough, and that it’s finally time to stop. In the case of abuse victims they don’t think anything is wrong for a long period of time, and when they do figure out that something is wrong they blame themselves for the way their partner treated them (yes it doesn’t have to be a partner, it can be a parent, I’m just going off the song). Just give this song a listen, trust me it is well worth your time.

I’ll tell you the truth and say I really enjoyed doing this. Let me know if you want me to do this again or if you want me to go back to the just quote part. Well I hope you have a good day and sleep the night away! Bye-bye!! 

Couldn't DEICED

I deiced, since I couldn't decide on a single quote, that I would look up three different kinds of quotes and pick the first one I see from each kind and go from there. So here is the first one in the kind "popular quotes."

"Don't think of yourself as an ugly person. Think of yourself as a beautiful monkey."
      - Unknown

I'm not kidding. That was the first one to pop up. At first I thought it was going to be a very nice and sentimental quote, but then the monkey part came up and that thought went out the window for a moment. I thought about if for a second and then I realized that it is true (I'm having a very slow day today). If you believe in humans evolving from primates, we are all very beautiful creatures, cause all nature is beautiful. But, in that same line of thought why don't some creatures think we/they are ugly. We are all nature, even when we deiced to go against the nature that we all know.

The second quote is very different from the first one from the "change quotes" type thingy.

"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on flighting the old, but on building the new."
      - Socrates

I can't really say that I disagree with this quote that much, in fact I total agree! *hint hint sarcasm sarcasm* I really distaste this quote, but I must say it does have a ring of truth to it. But, remembering the past helps you change, I get that you shouldn't fight it, but the feeling I'm getting from this quote is that you should just up leave your past. First, that is practically impossible to do. Second, giving all your energy is not going to help at all. I say to remember your past, but not let it control you. Think about your past now and then, remember why you are the way you are right now.

The third quote is a "Sherlock quote", I just started the BBC show and am loving it.

"The little things are infinitely the most important."
      - Sherlock Holmes

I do agree in a way that small things are very important, and not just because Sherlock said it. If it wasn't for the little things no one would remember anyone's birthday or the fact that they love the color green or yellow or what ever it is. People wouldn't feel the need to put makeup on and authors wouldn't up tiny details in the books they write. While little things aren't the most import, they sure do make life more exciting.

A little thing that makes life interesting.
