This Too Shall Pass
I haven’t really posted much in the last few months, and so I’m retiring my blog. It will stay, as is, with just a few post of quotes that were once popular. Thank you guys for everything. Goodbye! =)

Chapter On Love
When love beckons to you follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your...
It's strange, isn't it?
How fast life can change? In the blink of an eye. In less then a second. Yet on the other hand, some changes can take years upon years…….

Living
havent-got-a-prayer:
Life does not exist as “good” or “bad”. Life just happens. We can’t control the events that occur, but we can control how we react to them. I believe that attitude can make the difference between a good day and a bad day. We can choose to let a negative situation hold us back from enjoying our time on Earth; or we can realize that life is short, and dwelling in negativity is...
On Death
(I wrote this E-mail to someone who just had a friend pass away. I thought I’d post it here in case it could help someone else.)
I know you are going through a really hard time right now. Death is a part of life. Everyone we know is going to die someday. Death will always be something I’ll never truly understand but we can’t live forever. This planet doesn’t have enough...

havent-got-a-prayer:
Lately, I’ve been struggling with living in the moment. I seem to be exerting far too much mental energy on worrying about the future or pondering the ever-so-popular question: “What if?” While this may be a very human tendency, I find that for myself, it is not a very healthy one.
Yesterday on a relaxing drive with Ryan, I started thinking about the paths we all take to...
it's all happening, all of it!
yourwrite:
Doesn’t it ever alarm you to think about how there are billions of people existing out there right now, right this moment, and they’re all the creators of so many thoughts and ideas whizzing about? At this very moment in time there are people making love and having babies and putting their dogs to sleep. There are husbands leaving their wives and wives leaving their husbands and...
Empowering
You can think. You can feel. You can solve your problems. You can take care of yourself.
Those words have often benefited me more than the most profound and elaborate advice. How easy it is to fall into the trap of doubting ourselves and others. When someone tells us about a problem, what is our reaction? Do we believe we need to solve it for the person? Do we believe that that person’s...

what if the guy i love just ends up breaking my heart someday?
Well for starters, you can’t play the ‘What If Game’. We often start to get ahead of ourselves in life and think, “What if he breaks my heart?”, “What if my new job doesn’t work out?” ect…. That game never has any answers at the time. It only adds stress and...

Last night, over the phone, my friend told me he was considering suicide. I didn’t know what else to do, so I sent him the link to GMH. He texted me this morning saying that he stayed up all night reading every post, and that he could never leave a world that contained such beauty. GMH
Strength
We don’t always have to be strong to be strong. Sometimes, our strength is expressed in being vulnerable. Sometimes, we need to fall apart to regroup and stay on track.
We all have days when we cannot push any harder, cannot hold back self-doubt, cannot stop focusing on fear, cannot be strong.
There are days when we cannot focus on being responsible. Occasionally, we don’t want to...

I love my best friend!
Coco (Me): I really miss her. I even had a dream about her last night.
Carlos: Is it the one where you guys are fighting in a giant pie made of whipped cream and you're both naked? Because I had that dream.

Friday The 13th
I’m not superstition. I own a black cat named Midnight. I’ve broken mirrors. I’ll walk under ladders. I don’t believe in any of that superstition stuff…. BUT I’ve always had bad things happen on Friday the 13th. My roommate’s cat killed my bird. Ect ect….. I always refuse to work on that day because I was scared of what was to happen. As this Friday...
I'm Not Perfect
I’m not perfect. I make mistakes. I’m sure I’ll make mistakes till the day I die! But I just hope that they become less and less between now and then. I hope I learn from all my mistakes. I will never be perfect but I have been working on being a better person every day. Not only for myself but for everyone I surround myself with. Friends and family that will accept me for who I...
Sobriety
My sobriety has it’s up and downs. Some days, it’s easy. But some days are really fucking hard. I have 33 days right now. It’s the first time in 10 years that I’ve gone more then 30 days without drinking or using. At a meeting today, is when it hit me that I haven’t gone more then a month without drinking and/or using since I was 15 years old. 15! I remember I went 3...

Love
Most people want love. To be in love. They search for love. They go out on countless dates looking for love. They write poems about love. They come up with beautiful quotes about love. Write and/or sing songs about love. Take pictures of love. They long for love. They write love letters. They wait countless hours, days, and years just waiting to fall in love. Then, when it happens….. some...
I'm not better than you
Or you… Or you or you. I’m starting to get the whole, “You think you are better than me because you are sober!” rant from people now. And I don’t think that at all. Not one little bit. I no longer judge them or anyone else for that matter. Maybe that is their own insecurity… I dunno. I don’t know much. But I do know that I don’t think I’m...
