- Lifes struggles and obstacles are what makes us stronger
- Nobody in life dies a virgin. Life screws us all.
- and live in the moment and love life and those you are with because in the brink of an eye it can disappear. Then you are only rich in memories.

Am I invisible? Can you see me? Those are some words of one of my friends. She's not the happiest, but she still mkes it through life. She likes to go by the name Zee. Zee isn't sick but she seems depressed. Maybe people would call her a "loner" but shes my best friend. I love her like my sister, so why is Zee so depressed? The world may not know. Zee says she wants to start over. "You know... fresh." Everyone has a second chance right? Well I believe she can do anything.

These "thoughts" are completely mine... I wrote them down yesterday after another sleepless night.
Is it that hard to see? .. the freak in me. I'm buried under the bodies of everyone who hit rock bottom, and the devil claims he lives so deep. Well he hasn't seen hell till he hits this barrier I've built around my pointless existence. I swear if I could slip out we would all shatter and the only thing I'm scared of is myself... the thoughts I have when I'm sitting aloe inside my head. My only friend is my shadow and now its too dark to see. This curse of mine was never meant to be broken, and hope was just a word created to tease the helpless oo I suppress, so tell me now... how does it feel to walk away?
My mouth swells with te taste of blood and I'm drowning in the words that need to be said.
I can't pretend with you that it will all be Ok.
Because I've been down this beaten path more than time could tell.
If our future but I'm in denial. I long for change and I'll try to tell you.
but you can't know. Not like me. Because promises ain't so true to everyone else.
now stuck in this endless cycle I'll watch it break and look forward to the next glimpse of hope.
Although I know it never amount to you (nothing could)

Sooo, I think society's interpretation of normal is just plain boring. But, society isn't a person. It's like... everyone. But so many people disagree with society. It doesn't make sense why we still have so many socieological standards. It makes even less sense why people obey them. Just sayin'.
Anyway, I just think it'd be really great if people felt more comfortable with being themselves. Even if they are a bit on the crazy side. It would make life more fun and people more interesting...
And, I figured this book needed some bright colors, so... (an arrow point to the opposite page, with a drawing of a cat.)

Cookie Crumbles and a net

A net for catching the sun
on her strands of bright vanilla. And crumbles, for those frechles
A gently - kissed pair
That before the end of summer
Certainly were not there.

This is all a dream. Nothing is real. The physical world is simply a result of the strongest frequencies. In the modern world, our words and thoughts have the most power, or frequency. With all the advancements is science in the past 500 hundred years, we think we're all truly starting to understand how the world works. But if existence is infinite, the truth is - we don't know the half of it. So... never stop learning. Question everything... especially our way of life. Keep changing for the better and never hold on to your beliefs. Don't define yourself with them. At the center of the atoms that make up you body, is a place that burns as hot as the sun. The universe is 99.99% space, so matter doesn't matter. It's the consciousness that holds it all together.
Go Quantum
Go inside yourself in meditation, and you'll defy what your thought frequencies previously emitted.
You'll discover infinity inside, not out.

Produce a noise as

Horn or as Melodious as

Here are a few of my favorite quotes that I'd like to share:
"To laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelliget people,
and the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critics.
and endure the betrayal of false friends,
to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others,
to leave the world a better place whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition,
to know that even one life has breathed easier
because you haeve lived,
this is to have succeeded."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

"Returning violence for violence only begets violence adding deeper darkness to a night already divoid of stars."

A lot of people spend the time they're not working trying to forget about life. Use your free time to enhance your life. Learn a new skill, volunteer, prepare for your financial future. Use you extra time wisely; plan it, prioritize it and it can transform your life. You will be blessed and you will bless others. Use it now while you have it, because someday you'll look back and say "What if?"
