How is it that even though you feel as if you have taken two steps forward, only to fall three steps behind, you can still feel as if you have come out ahead of the curve? I've been thinking alot lately about the last year of my life and all of the twists and turns that it has taken, and it almost brings me to tears. In the last year, I have experienced a happiness so profound that there aren't any words to describe it, and yet, I have felt a sadness so horrible that death would have been a suitable alternative, and yet here I am: stronger, wiser, and alot older (maturity wise, not age wise). It is a funny sensation, to be completely mature, and yet still long for the carefree, worryless days of my youth, as short and abrupt as they were. I suppose the price for maturity is the absolute loss of innocence, and yet I cannot hold true to that in my heart. I've said and done a great many things in my short lifetime that I regret, even though I try not to regret anything, because I believe that everything I've done is exactly what I wanted to do at that time.
I think that there comes a time in every man's life where he puts away childish things and either becomes the man he was born to be, or begins to run from his destiny. For the majority of my adult life, I have succumbed to the latter of the situation and have only recently found that running from my destiny is not only incredibly foolish, but rather dangerous, so I really had no choice but to follow my destiny and, while I am not quite as happy as I want to be, I am quite content with my situation in life.
I believe in a well-placed lie can topple an empire.
I believe that all you need to know about a person is in how they look at you.
I believe that a gun speaks louder than words.
I refuse to believe in the presence of good and evil. I merely believe in the differences between choices and the consequences associated with such actions.
I believe in the power of the human spirit, and its ability to overcome any obstacle with the proper motivation, education, and attitude.
I believe in being a leading man in my own life, not just a supporting actor.
I believe that haveing one best friend is a blessing. Having two is a miracle.
I believe in teh overwhelming power of pure love, given freely and stronger than steel.
I believe in the healing power of a good cup of tea and a good book.
I believe that every person should have one piece of chocolate cake in their lifetime.
I believe that inside every person is a fire waiting to break loose. It is up to that individual to use that fire to make their life better.
I believe that every person should look at another as a brother or a sister. It would make the world a much better place.
I believe that money is not the root of all evil. It is a tool used to better your life. It is the natural wickedness of man that allows for the financial atrocities you see in the news today.
I believe that the best way to make money is with a damn good scanner and an laserjet printer.
I believe that there is no such thing as soulmates. My soul is too selfish to share itself with anything else.
I believe that every man is a gentleman. It's just the fact that the cavemen taught us differently.
I believe that women should be treated worth their weight in gold, for a very special woman near to my heart spent nine months of pure hell to put me on this planet, and that means that 97 percent of all women are going to go through that same pain, a pain so unbearable that I, as a man, cannot mentally or physically imagine myself going through it. It's painful enough to pass kidney stones, or have an STD test. I can't imagine giving birth.
