Once again, it's me and the time. Time to reflect, time to make up my mind. Time to think of the "if's" and the "why's". It's not surprising then, that you showed up again; if only to make things worse. Told me you'd always stay and never hurt (me). But all you are is far away. Distant at best. Yes, it's in this time I've learned that you weren't who I thought. I wish I knew before... because I should have. But at least I won't be fooled again. If only that were true....

Hearts Need Blood
Let's sink another drink
And think about the things we used to believe
Let's sit here sipping beer
Static atmosphere is just what we need
Here we go again
We're such foolish men
But it's not the same as back then
Some people wait a lifetime, some simply accept
Some of us crash land and some of us eject
Some restore the blood flow, some just let it go blue
Some of us obsess, some move onto something new
She makes me dream of being a strong man
And it's true, of all the people
There is only you I think of when the ship is going down
Is going down
Is going down
Let's get it right this time
Too many ugly stories with ugly endings
Let's build some walls around us
A fort for pacifists to share
Here we go again
But it's not the same, my friends
The third jonquil begins
Some people wait a lifetime, some simply accept
Some of us crash land and some of us eject
Some restore the blood flow, some just let it go blue
Some of us obsess, some move onto something new
She makes me dream of being a strong man
And it's true, of all the people
There's only you I think of when the ship is going down
And it's true, of all the people
There's only you I think of when the ship is going down
Yes, the ship is going down
Is going down
Is going down
Is going down

Lost in Nostalgia
It really wasn't that long ago that I felt more comfortable with the idea of friendship. To those of you who are still there, do not take offense. What I mean to convey, is that life is change. I am certain now that nothing stays the same. There can only be similarities to what we remember. And thats what makes life seem more difficult at times, the adjusting period that we go through to move on.
With that said, I'd like to talk about that last sentence. When you're going through what most refer to as a "tough time", what are some phrases that are commonly said by your so called friends? Ex. ,"Its okay, it won't last forever.", "Just hang in there, I know you'll make it.", "Chin up", or just the classic, "What's wrong?" These are all vague meaningless things people say to try and show that they care about you. When actually by uttering these pointless phrases or questions, they're showing you exactly how much they don't care. So let me get to the point. Sometimes we go through certain struggles, experiences, or events in life that we will never forget. And everyone around you will say, "Let it go", "move on", or "get past it". But there is something to be said for remembering. There are certain things you should never let go of. I contest that those life changing memories should never be forgotten. I am here to tell you this, that I am a worse human being because of the things I have gone through. But the will to survive and the character of a person go a long way. And I struggle daily to prove to myself that there is "better" to be had of this life.
In conclusion let me first apologize for the lack of organization this blog may have. It was not rehearsed or proof-read. Also, the intent of the message here is not meant to depress. Rather: Sustain. Persevere. Do not glance at your life and quit. Be an adult, see your situation for what it is. And accept that you won't always make the right choice. Learn from your past, so that you might have an "educated" future.
"If I gave you pretty enough words, could you paint a picture of us that works? With emphasis on function rather than design. Aren't you tired? Cause I will carry you. On a broken back and blown out knees.. I have been where you are for a while...." -Atreyu
