Survival
Whatever pain has ever happened to you you're forced to live with it every second. The least you can do is survive. Survival is not living. It's doing what you have to in order to make it through....to get up the next morning. It's always pulling yourself together one last time...because you keep hoping for the day that one last time actually comes....even though deep down you know it never will.
The best you can do is live. So I survive when I have to, even if I break, and live whenever I get the chance, no matter what others may say. Sometimes it's good to cry for no other reason then you know you're alive.

Heaven
And what is heaven if not the unattainable dream?

Common Ground
I identified with a picture. We have something in common. It's not so hard to find common ground. So here's quite the puzzler: If it's possible to take the time to find common ground and understanding in a photo, what stops some people from taking the time to do the same with others?

Rain
I got my wish. It started to rain today. As I type this, I hear the rain on the window, and there's no better sound. Whenever I have needed it to rain, it always has. There's something very comforting in that. Makes me feel as though the universe does stop for just a little while to help out. I've never loved anything more than the rain.

Rainy days are the best days.

My Best
There are times I've been asked, (and I'm sure just about everyone has been asked this) 'Is this your best?' Well, that would depend wouldn't it? What is my best, how is it defined, who says if it's my best or not?
There's a saying that goes, 'Your best always lies before you'.
Every moment you're alive is your best. No matter what happens, it is your best. Every second you are the complete collection, infinty if you will, that is your mind. Everything you are, you are every second. And as each second passes, you become something more than you were the last. Even when part of you dies, there is always something to replace it, even if that something happens to be nothingness. In that way, you have become something more, something different. In every single moment of your life you define yourself.
So yes, whatever I do, it is always my best.

Child At Heart
While some people may say I'm a stupid little child...I know I'm much more than that. I have fun. I do what I feel like doing at the time no matter how childish it may it seem, because it makes me happy, brings me joy. I follow my heart; I'm free. And when I look at them through my eyes...knowing that they've been through a lot in their lives....I think them to be a foolish child, just not in the way that it counts.

Butterfly Effect
Do we ever take responsibility for our actions?
Just think about it. Something goes wrong in our lives and there are a millon circumstances that led to it. Granted, some bad things that happen to us are nature and the way of the universe and therefore out of our control, but look at all the other things that happen to us on a regular basis.
We see beatings and shootings on television made by people who have been mostly a good person in the past, and who you would never expect to do something like that.
We have collegues who are good people, but have problems so they do some pretty bad or hurtful things from time to time.
And we sit back and look at it.
At first we may blame them for their actions.
Then we consider it more and say, well maybe they've had a lot happen to them. Maybe they've had a hard life, didn't know how to deal with it, and snapped.
Then we think, all of their problems lead back to society. Society's standards, what society failed to do, what society let them do with their lives.
People close to it tend to, for the most part, think differently than this. But a lot of us, who are observers, this is how we tend to view it.
Most of us start blaming society for the world's troubles, whatever they may be. But do we ever stop and think that we are society? Every one of us helps make up society. Even if we feel seperated from the idea or ideals of people at large, we are still part of society.
Suppose there is fate, and certain things are going to happen no matter what.
Suppose that within fate we have defining moments, or maybe just one defining moment. A very short period of time during which a choice we make sets a new fate in motion.
Suppose there is a karma to help keep balance within fate. That there is no good or bad. Only karma. Only consequences for our actions. Everything we send out we get back times three. The butterfly in England causes the tidal wave in Japan.
We may not always see the reprocussions of our actions, but everything we do or don't do has an impact. Think of it this way: Deciding what colour underwear to wear that morning. The dye had to be manufactured, and the fabric, then the underwear designed and sewn together, then a store had to sell it to you.

There may not be one common reality, but we are all still held together. Bound by a cosmic thread, whatever it may be.
