Every Way - Circa Survive

I will find a different way to say
Your gonna have to change everything you made
Your going to have to reword every metaphor you’ve used
So that people who are hearing are confused

If that’s the most important thing you do
Detail every ounce of pain that you went through
Make sure you leave something down to show the way back

Find someone who complements you.

arsenicandgoldlace:

Yes complement, not compliment. A person who accentuates your true personality, who adds fuel to your fire. Someone who can help teach you things you could never learn on your own. The one who sparks your creativity and challenges you to do better and be better.

YES. When you find that person who challenges you to think out the box and change your perspective on things, get yo life and never let that person go!

A House is Not a Home

Fri, 31 May 2013 19:45:00 -0700

A house is not a home. An old, partially broken, and worn-out piece of furniture does not “worth” as much as when it was new, shiny, and expensive. but it is certainly more comfortable, and has a warmer feel. It is, above all, more so delicate and precious. You can’t put a price on comfort and happiness.

A house is not a home. I remember from back when I was a child, the feeling of complete safety…whether it was putting myself in between my mother’s arms in a cable car (was deathly afraid of heights…), or snuggling under my nice bedtime blankey (yah I had one of those :P) and covering all of myself to defend against the dark scary monsters that sprouted from my wild imaginations…..was euphoria. No matter how expensive/famous a house or mansion is, without a warm figure, it will never be happy/comfortable. And hence, not a home.

I see us all being houses. We furnish ourselves with everything (skills/talents/experiences) and everyone (friends/families/pupppies!) we decide to be involved with. One has to realize that with every decision we make, we’re choosing whether to (very loosely) only increasing the size of our house, or to also improve the quality of our home while we’re at it.

You can’t judge someone by their feelings and emotions. Part of the reason that we’re more than just programmable robots (I hope..)… is that even after all the research on our brain and psych…we still cannot predict who anyone’s gonna fall for or end up with in the future.

All too often, one tries to find a home in other people’s houses without taking care of their own. Although it might work for a little while, it almost never lasts.
People spend too much time trying to find a home IN someone else, rather than working towards being the home FOR that someone else. When you have 2 people with compatible homes, you’ll merge into one big house, in which you will work together to sprout up the best home. A home for life. Something that makes you completely fearless. Not even the thought of death will phase you. Or at least I’d like to think so. Maybe that’s not how it works at all, and life isn’t all just rainbows and butterflies, but I certainly am trying….perhaps an optimistic fool?

Don’t just be a house. Do not try to find a home in anywhere other than yourself first. Build a home. Be the home.

thanks, you too! good luck with everything!

Too much stress. One deadline after the next…Too many projects/tests all at once (and apparently we’re suppose to program for our professor’s phd/master’s thesis project….wtf) BUH. Almost done with school. Staying positive. It’s been harder to get in a full night’s sleep recently, but still getting that workout in every morning ~ (weight: 136…20 lbs gain since fall…bench max: 155…single arm bicep curl max: 40lbs…good progress so far).

My tendency to obsess over something (someone…) is coming back…but at least I now understand it and am trying to confront it >.< ahhhh. Plan of actions. Weighing possible decisions. Analyzing the difference between idealization and reality. Keeping it under control this time ‘round.

““You don’t know anyone at the party, so you don’t want to go. You don’t like cottage cheese, so you haven’t eaten it in years. This is your choice, of course, but don’t kid yourself: it’s also the flinch. Your personality is not set in stone. You may think a morning coffee is the most enjoyable thing in the world, but it’s really just a habit. Thirty days without it, and you would be fine. You think you have a soul mate, but in fact you could have had any number of spouses. You would have evolved differently, but been just as happy. You can change what you want about yourself at any time. You see yourself as someone who can’t write or play an instrument, who gives in to temptation or makes bad decisions, but that’s really not you. It’s not ingrained. It’s not your personality. Your personality is something else, something deeper than just preferences, and these details on the surface, you can change anytime you like. If it is useful to do so, you must abandon your identity and start again. Sometimes, it’s the only way. Set fire to your old self. It’s not needed here. It’s too busy shopping, gossiping about others, and watching days go by and asking why you haven’t gotten as far as you’d like. This old self will die and be forgotten by all but family, and replaced by someone who makes a difference. Your new self is not like that. Your new self is the Great Chicago Fire—overwhelming, overpowering, and destroying everything that isn’t necessary.””

“Our faith as a human is solely to find love. We roam the earth for so long looking for someone to connect with & keep each other company in our darkest hours, even if it means fighting; at the end of the day all we’re looking for is a way to be rid of the shadows that chain us to loneliness”

Instant Crush - Daft Punk Feat. Julian Casablanca

And we will never be alone again
‘Cause it doesn’t happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away

Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
‘Cause I know it unlocks like a door
