Better than Life

It's so easy to say positive things when you're in such a good place in that moment of time. I can say that I'm going to be more positive but when things get inevitably difficult and challenging, it's as though your life will be determined on whether or not you get through it at all.

Then you fall into that massive pit of doom where you find yourself being inefficient and sulking about it when you realise that if you had just stayed calm and done what needs to be done in the first place, then you would've completed by the time you had sufficiently exhausted yourself by sulking!

This is my vicious cycle to juggle life amongst other things. I will always try though - to be positive that is - and I think that's all people ask of me.

Just to try.

love,

Tomorrow

From my good friend ANGOOSE.


"TOMORROW IS NEVER PROMISED"

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are and who you want to become.




You never know who these people may be: your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.




And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they seem painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential strength, will power, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.




Without these small tests, whether they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience create who you are, and even the bad experiences can be learned from, In fact, they are probably the poignant and important ones.




If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again...




Work hard, train hard, laugh hard, love hard

Hold your head up because you have every right too.
Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself... for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.

You can make of your life anything you wish.

love,

k.

VCR

The XX

Please press play. I'm not kidding around here ... PRESS PLAY.




You, you still have all the answers
and you, you still have them too
and we, we live half in the day time
and we, we live half at night

Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing

But you, you just know, you just do


(via Karah Kobus)

When I find myself by the sea, in another's company by the sea
When I go out the pier, gonna die and have no fear
Because you, you just know, you just do


(via Emily Harriet)

Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing

But you, you just know, you just do

P.S. My love for Star Wars couldn't let this one pass: "You're the Obi-Wan for me."
