Perceptions

“Truth is a battle of perceptions. People only see what they’re prepared to confront. It’s not what you look at that matters. But what you see . And when different perceptions battle against one another, the truth has a way of getting lost.  And the monsters, find a way of getting out." 

Twice by Little Dragon

"Twice I turned my back on you
I fell flat on my face but didn't lose
Tell me where would I go
Tell me what led you on I'd love to know

Was it the blue night gone fragile
Was it both men in wonder steady gone under
Was it the light ways so frightening
Was it two wills, one mirror holding us dearer now

Thought I had an answer once
But your random ways swept me along
Colossal signs so I got lost
With so many lovers singing soft

Was it the blue night gone fragile
Was it both men in wonder steady gone under
Was it the light ways so frightening
Was it two wills one mirror holding us dearer now"

Truth

“The greatest weapon anyone can use against us is our own mind. By preying on the doubts and uncertainties that already lurk there.

Are we true to ourselves or do we live for the expectations of others? And if we are open and honest. . . can we ever truly be loved?

Can we find the courage to release our deepest secrets? Or in the end are we all unknowable? Even to ourselves?”

Ha

Yes

Money Can't Buy Happiness

I would have built forts and eaten PB&J's with you. I would have moved to the dessert and lived in a cave just listening to you play guitar while being enamored with and falling into your eyes. I would have done it all.

Rihanna

Rihanna may be "pop"-y. She may be just as messed up as the best of us. But damn, I wish she was my friend. Because right now I feel like she's the only one who get's it. 

"It’s like screaming

And no one can hear

You almost feel ashamed

That someone could be that important

That without them you feel like nothing

No one will ever understand how much it hurts

You feel hopeless

Like nothing can save you

And when it’s over and it’s gone

You almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back

So that you could have the good"

Blame

BLame

Blame

blame

Eventually one sees the mistakes they have made. And the blame on others goes away. Because, really . . . the mistakes one has made are their own. And no one can be blamed on that but oneself. 

Just because I'm not contacting you doesn't mean I don't think about you every second of every day. It's messed  up. Horribly. 

Getting better. Day by day. By myself. Alone. Scariest, but most important words ever. 

How to get over betrayal? By friends, by a loved one, by someone you thought was your soulmate? How? Step by step. Day by day. Throwing yourself into work. Making art. There is nothing more painful in this world than learning the past year of your life has been a lie. One foot in front of the other. One breath at a time. One word at a time. And hopefully . . . hopefully . . . one day . . . it will be better.
