I am here for Friends

About Me

A quiet house/A quiet heart/A quiet home/Lost in the dark/A hole in the wall/I can't see the sun/It's painful to breathe/And this has just begun./But before I could die./I see the light/You reach for me/You save my life./The world implodes and I survive/Your love is keeping me alive./Welcome to my reality.//// ------- A Short Personal Essay I Wrote: I'm a person who believes in fate - but not too much. I believe I am here for a reason. And I believe I could edit my own destiny if I wish. I'm taking the surf wave by wave right now. But once I've settled on one particular future I'm sure of - aside from the fact that I know who I want to be with and how many kids I want, I'll let you know. The world's an indecisive place and I'm no exception. Although, many times, I wish I was. I believe in peace and harmony - and I believe there's such a thing in dreams but in the real world that all only comes from within...not from anyone else. Ghandi was an amazing man. But then again so was Hitler. The difference is Ghandi made a difference. And Hitler made a killing. Today I could be smiling and tomorrow I could be in tears. I don't want to be broken. But once broken, one is not easily fixed. I will not let this paranoia get to me. Hello world. Hello tomorrow. Goodbye yesterday. I'll see you again when I look at my albums and read your story through the photographs. Forget regret - but sometimes you can't help it. So I hope I make the most of today while I can. And one day maybe (just maybe)...maybe I'll start making sense..... Listen to good music, my friends. It will change your lives.
