"I feel that a genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives. How one creates that smile largely depends on one's own attitude. It is illogical to expect smiles from others if one does not smile oneself. Therefore, one can see that many things depend on one's own behaviour."
--Dalai Lama

"I am bigger than anything that can happen to me. All these things, sorrow, misfortune, and suffering, are outside my door. I am in the house and I have the key.
"--Charles Fletcher Lummis

 Black frosting glazed the path I was walking, the blood was pouring into my shoes from the blisters that had formed on my ankles. The walk had been long so far, but I realized that the distance was much further than I had originally anticipated. It was cold, and my breaths lingered in wisps and curls in the night air. It was surreal, the quiet was, after all the moments of chaos and white-noise my life had become. I was calm, the silence and the loneliness had washed over me. I couldn't feel the pain of the abrasions and scuffs caused by my ill-fitting shoes anymore, all I felt was contented. I wish I could feel that way again, that feeling of soft, warm, comforting finger tips whispering on the inside of my chest. I felt so temperate, I felt I was one with my body and with my thoughts, I felt humbled. I guess there always was a part of me that said to write fictional works, but I had blurred the lines between fact and fiction, I had lost sense of reality on my walk. I had become a different person on my way.

This submission was sent to me by a very close friend of mine. My friend Jesse's old man has realized he desires more in his life, and it is often, in our realization that we can always achieve more! -- Cheering up and encouraging your pops is WMLSB

The truth is always honest, even if it makes you sad. 

"When you’re listening to a song and it manages to describe exactly how you feel at that moment in time. That's what makes life so beautiful, that, and just music in general ♥"
