Makes Me Wonder...

with so many things happening to people in the world today it just makes you wonder. wonder what the world would be like if we didn't have to deal with all the ciaos that surrounds our lives. some of us escape the trappings of our society. most are not so lucky and we all have that moment where we just have to ask: why wasn't it me? although we don't want it to really be us dealing with such sadness but we just have to ask. and no matter how much we try and keep our minds off of the bad we know it's always there, somewhere lurking around. i remember writing a poem in high school entitled what is life? and i listed all of the things a young girl can experience growing up and dealing with relationships, differences and the world. i'm still on that quest, that hunt to find not the fountain of youth but what sustains us in a world so cold. i remember growing up and all the adults would tell me that it's a "doggy-dog world" and now as i'm in it it's also a dog-eat-dog world. point blank period life is hard. some of us can take the hits better than others and i do in my heart believe that only the strong survive. life unfolds to us as we live in it. we all are walking these subliminal paths trying to make good with our time. the best we can do for ourselves and the world is find that special thing inside that produces magic. the magic that changes minds and lives to see their special thing inside. there is life inside of us that deserves to be lived at it's best. and our best is what makes us the happiest person we've ever been. we need unconditional love (love that isn't measured, graded or put on any pedestal), we need encouragement, we need truth, we need support (even when we are misunderstood) but most importantly we as individuals need to know that at a certain point all of this is left up to us if the ones that surround us do not budge. we have to live for ourselves. we have to make ourselves happy and not get caught up in living for everyone else. everyday we wake up we should be making ourselves happy-whatever that means to you. live life, celebrate life, be happy in the skin you're in.
Love Yourself, It's The Buried Treasure!
