Reasons for being, and so on..

There seems to be some controversy over a question many ask: Why do people, when their life is good, tend to overdramatize their situation, sometimes making it out to be far worse than it really is? There are many answers to this question. I'll attempt to explain some of them in this essay today. A fact we must all realize is that problems in our life are always important to us, whether or not they stack up against others in terms of difficulty. There will always be that feeling in humans, because we all have flawed thinking and really just limited insight into others' lives. It's unreasonable to expect people to know every si

Literature

Intellectuality's Truism

i wanted to taste the sun's shine more than i needed to be alive the sweetest sadness that was ever named sorrow i'd live for today if it wasn't for tomorrow there isn't much left for me here except festering memories and dark shades of fear i'd wished for it all to come upon me, though i ended up right where i began, down below there are those called intellectuals, those with street-smarts didn't we begin all the same, with nothing at the start? one more or one less; what's the difference anyway? the sun doesn't decide whether or not there's a day there's a paragraph more that i can write to you now but your mind or heart would

do you wanna know why why i pulled down the sky? when i knew that you had shyed? how i know you're hypnotized? i felt right down into the middle of you went searching for what i knew i just happened to find it, and from it i drew that i was disappointed and you were screwed if i was the fool and you were the martyr then why was i the one that tried to barter back all the things you wanted to say i hate to say this, but just stay out of my way you know i knew that you knew that i know but all that should just go to show that when i want something done, it's done so what do you mean when you pull out your guns? there must be som

I May Be A Bleeding Heart

i'm in love with you despite all that others coach me to do hey, the heart gets a chuckle while the mind is still muddled and people will set out with a future without knowing where to go but all in the name of love it's signed not a thing matters by-and-by hey, the heart gets a smile while the body becomes vile and people will look toward the past without knowing who they are but all for emotion's sake it's designed no matter how many feelings'll get in the grind and still, i'm in love with you really, what's a guy to do?

a note that never got sent... by altitude-zero, literature

Literature

a note that never got sent...

This is for what could be my one and only... Zeal. Passion. Righteousness. Love. Excitement. Empathy. The look in your eyes; all the things I love about you. But out of them all... your love for me is the greatest, closest to my heart, my mind, my being, my desire. The feeling I got when you first said "I love you"... the greatest feeling of all, the one that tells you that there really is not any more else you could ask for reasonably; the warm blanket of knowledge that keeps you safe. If the passage of time could be repeated, I would repeat that moment forever. The wonderful emotion. The one thing that lacks between us... well,

Drive over the memories

Drive over the memories, scattered on the road. Their haven of mind, a once lovely abode Crippled by an accident, Horrible in nature. He looks ahead so calous Dispondent to the future. His life was derailed By a moments hesitation Now no balm can sooth His bereaved vexation Drive over the memories, scattered on the road. Their haven of mind, a once lovely abode Her face tells a story Of behavior salacious Trapped in her prison By her own words, fallacious She tried to be pure, But his words were so good How she would maim him His worth, if she could Drive over the memories, scattered on the road. Their haven of m

Take a Look

Look, a path lets walk along to find whats at the end Look, a heart lets pick it up to rip apart then mend Look, a piece that has been dropped no way to put it in Look, a space that's been reserved for times to come again Look at all the emptiness that is inside of me Look at troubles thats been found look at the tidings that have ceased look at memories, that have soared on through the sky look at my hand, as it turns and waves goodbye

   I'm back from vacation now.  I've returned to a full dose of reality, beginning with personal problems and ending with sickness and death.   I'm actually very tired of it all.  There's no point to it, and it actually does make me physically sick to my stomach.  There's no telling when or how someone will fall sick and die, just like there's no telling when to quit with personal relationships... they're bridges we wait to cross.  None of us like to think about all the bad things that happen; and if some of us do, then we'll never quit worrying about today or tomorrow, and really, about the past.   So to all of those who care about me an

'Who am I to need you now?'

0 min read

Like I said I would, I added to Intellectuality's Truism, and I believe that it turned out quite nicely.  I also wrote another bittersweet ballad named Blankets of Sky which is further proof of my rather callous heart nowadays.  I probably take things over the top at times, but I really have felt those two pieces at this point in my life. THANKFULLY, I'm on vacation.  I don't have many problems to deal with here.  It's actually quite nice here in Northern Georgia.  The water doesn't stink, it's not hot, and especially nice is there's NO HURRICANES!  I am really sick of these things.  Die, Ivan! :stab: Anyhow, I just thought I'd let everyone
