United Prevail. Divided we Fail.

Our country is supposed to be the UNITED States. We're not much of a united country if you ask me. For one, our country was raised with racism, prejudice, and discrimination. Two, how can we POSSIBLY be united if we have a Democratic party and a Republican party(2 separate parties in a "united" nation....)? Oh, and don't forget the Independents and the other parties that I have no idea what their names are. We have people who STILL preactice racism!! Seriously, you need to get over that. WE're all created deserving equal opportunities. Ignorance is PURE downfall. We have Senators and Congressmen/Congresswomen who highly disrespect our President. We have gangs who fight/ataack/kill people because of a color they're wearing. What if we all wore rainbow shirts?! Honestly, I believe everyone deserves healthcare, and we're a modernized/powerful enough country to do this. Let's all stop with the division and bring our country to unison.

Broken Heart, Fixed Soul.

To be broken hearted means one has lost something or usually, someone, they really care about. Whether it was a death, a break-up, or whatever it may be. With this comes grief, pain, suffering, and experience. We learn from all this. To have a broken heart, one must have loved whatever it was the they lost. This may be sad, but it's a sign that LOVE is being let in. Don't be afraid to LOVE, be afraid not to.

The LOVE unknown.

People ask me, "who are you writing to on your facebook statuses? It's so deep." Honestly, I'm not writing to anyone. Well, I am, but I'm not sure if I know who it is. There are feelings at times that I am uncertain whether I should let them be, or struggle and fight them off. I don't know if I've met her already. If I have, I don't know how she feels. At times it seems she may not feel the same, but regardless of how my unknown LOVE feels, I will always be fine in the end.

Just, remember me....

When days/months/years pass us by, I hope you never forget me.
When you find someone and they take all your time, I hope you never forget me.
When days turn to nights faster than speed of light, I hope you never forget me.
When there are 30 people telling you to do it, I hope you never forget me.
When you feel abandoned, I hope you never forget me.
When you need someone to talk to, I hope you never forget me.
When all else fails, I hope you never forget me.
When everyone's gone, I hope you never forget me.
When you see miracles, I hope you never forget me.
When there is truth, I hope you never forget me.
When you feel scared, I hope you never forget me.
When you find love, I hope you never forget me.
Please, just, remember me.

I'll be there for you.

If you're reading this, thank you. I believe we all need to help each other out. Lend a helping hand when you can. People need each other, whether you'd like to believe it or not. To my friends, understand something. If I CAN help you out in a time of need, I will. But if I can't help, please don't be upset. Understand my situation as well. But I do hope that I'm one of the first people you turn to.

There's so much out there...

... and we've yet to discover it. The Universe is simply ENORMOUS!! Yet, people continue with the facade of being cool and all that irrelevant nonsense. Can we stop?! Stop with the "cool guy" act. Stop with the "toughness" front. Stop with the all the BS!! There are more important things in life than being the coolest person out there. Trust me. We shouldn't be hurting people. We should be helping them.

Compared to you, the stars are dust.
