About Me | "Don't let the hurts of yesterday, ruin your hopes for tomorrow." I CHOOSE TO LOVE- rather than hate. I CHOOSE TO SMILE - rather than frown. I CHOOSE TO BUILD- rather than to tear down. I CHOOSE TO PERSEVERE -rather than give up. I CHOOSE TO PRAISE - rather than gossip. I CHOOSE TO HEAL - rather than wound. I CHOOSE TO GIVE - rather than than get. I CHOOSE TO ACT - rather than delay. I CHOOSE TO FORGIVE - rather than judge. I CHOOSE TO PRAY - rather than despair. The greatest achievement is selflessness. The greatest worth is self mastery. The greatest quality is seeking to serve others. The greatest precept is continual awareness. The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything. The greatest action is not conforming with the world's ways. The greatest magic is transmuting the passions. The greatest generosity is non-attachment. The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. The greatest patience is humility. The greatest effort is not concerned with results. The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go. The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances. The words that describe self-image mean nothing to me. I am myself, one true person who's there when needed, and hidden when forgotten. I can take the role of being your hero, but it might not always be for the best. I love and hate, as do all, but yet at the same time I am different from all of my surroundings. I can be a b*tch and I am beyond blunt. I tell it how it is and if you don't like it then just f*ck off. I am not a bro hoe. I am not a scene kid. I am not a thug. I am not a prep. I do NOT classify myself or anyone else as something. I am myself and I don't try to be something that I am not. Do not judge me before getting to know me. I am not perfect, nor flawless. Everyone has their flaws and nobody is perfect. I treat people the way I would like to be treated. I don't take people for granted. I enjoy the small things in life, like the view of the ocean or city from the high point of a hill. I think everyone is beautiful, even the people that hate me. They'll become ugly once they reach their limit of ignorance. I listen for love and lust for temptation. I like the way the sea breeze blows through my hair, and I love the way the sand feels between my toes. I believe in soul mates and love at first sight. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and if someone has bad Karma, bad shit will happen to them. My life is a book... and you are only at page two. I have a past, just like anyone else. Don't judge me for the things I have done and the mistakes I have made because my past and my mistakes have brought me this far and have made me the person that I am today. I am perfectly content with myself. The more mistakes you make, the more you learn. The more you're hurt, the stronger you get... that's what I believe. "The deeper that sorrow carves inro your being, the more joy you can contain." - Kahlil Gibran When beauty speaks, I listen. As I said before, I listen for love and lust for temptation I sometimes become elusive... hard to reach, hard to find. I am ultra sensitive and take harsh or mild criticism to heart, but I let it go in that same heartbeat. I want to be strong, I want to not care... So what you see here is what you get. Either love me or hate me, just don't waste your precious time coming up with ways to hurt me. I'm a casket full of mystery, but a bottle full of clues. I am weak, yet strong. I enjoy obstacles that my life has had while growing up. I am still enjoying them. I'm still a kid at heart. I could never hurt a fly or anything else... unless it hurt me first. This is me, this is real. I deal with my emotions through poetry and music. I read and I write. I have a mind and I enjoy expanding it. I enjoy having in depth conversations with people that actually have a clue with what is going on in the world. A mind is a precious thing, and should not be closed and filled with ignorant opinions and useless knowledge. Expland your mind and put it to use. I see life from a different angle. It is a beautiful thing, so go and live it up to its fullest and try not to come home with no regrets. Make a lot of mistakes and learn from them. The more mistakes made in life, the wiser you become and you'll know next time not to repeat them. Through every hardship that I've endured, I'm finally able to see the rainbow after the thunderstorm, and it was so worth the wait. I know there will be more thunderstorms, but luckily, I'm strong enough to overcome anything thrown at ...(read more) |
