Something You Should Know About Me
Bu$iness Never Quit$
i am a strong believer of love, karma and fate. everything in life happens for a reason. people are always going to try and bring you down, but you can’t let that get in your way. i dont like being in the same place for too long. i constantly want to travel. i can’t stand silence, so i fall asleep with the t.v on. ive grown up in southern maine and it is a big part of who i am. my heart belongs here and always will. no where else feels like home. i prefer night time because i love the silence. im sensitive. no one can compare to my family, they’re the world to me. my mom is one of the strongest people i know, and always knows the right thing to say. my dad is a very driven, hard working man, and he is always there for me. he has taught me so much about life, and i am thankful for that. im the most organized mess. i could dance for hours. i dont know where im going, but one day im going to look back & laugh at all the people who thought that i would never amount to anything. im going to be something greater than anyone ever thought i could be…
“life and death, energy and peace. if i stop today it was still worth it. even the terrible mistakes that i made & would have unmade if i could. the pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where i’ve walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, and above. time here on earth is short. tomorrow may never come & yesterday is behind us. the moments we create are those we grow from & become who we are. i want nothing more from life then the simple purpose of sharing love & giving as much of myself as i can to help another human being. it’s easy to get tangled up in this “fogged reality”, so i try to step back & get grounded. life is a gift & a beautiful journey. do what makes you happy. be with who makes you smile. laugh as much as you breathe. love as long as you live.”
We have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways but narrower viewpoints; we spend more but have less; we buy more but enjoy it less; we have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, yet less time; we have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge but less judgment; more experts, yet more problems; we have more gadgets but less satisfaction; more medicine, yet less wellness; we take more vitamins but see fewer results. We drink too much; smoke too much; spend too recklessly; laugh too little; drive too fast; get too angry quickly; stay up too late; get up too tired; read too seldom; watch TV too much and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values; we fly in faster planes to arrive there quicker, to do less and return sooner; we sign more contracts only to realize fewer profits; we talk too much; love too seldom and lie too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've done larger things, but not better things; we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less; we make faster planes, but longer lines; we learned to rush, but not to wait; we have more weapons, but less peace; higher incomes, but lower morals; more parties, but less fun; more food, but less appeasement; more acquaintances, but fewer friends; more effort, but less success. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; drive smaller cars that have bigger problems; build larger factories that produce less. We've become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, but short character; steep in profits, but shallow relationships. These are times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure and less fun; higher postage, but slower mail; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorces; these are times of fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, cartridge living, thow-away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies and pills that do everything from cheer, to prevent, quiet or kill. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stock room. What is happening?
