If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place.

Walking on the pavement, fast paced The condos blocking the sun’s face

Oh look! The sky’s shining! Just kidding, it’s a building blocking the silver lining

The sun’s setting, let’s go get a good view But I just passed RBC, and now I remember my rent’s due

Fuck it, let’s go. We’re surrounded by nature Everyone’s got bills, be mature!

Lake Ontario, high park, board walk, the possibilities are endless! Enjoy the nature, doesn’t matter that you’re friendless.

Nature, where are you? I need you today. I’m stuck in my anxieties from yesterday.

The sun is setting, I’ve missed my shot What about the half dead tree in this parking lot? Nature, where are you? Why are you a luxury? You’re all people need, to end their misery. The city, the city, the concrete jungle My soul is rotting, I need some anti fungal

Nature nature, Mother Nature I can stay no more, I’m coming to you to feel safer

I Have A Voice

Sometimes I have dreams where I can’t talk. I don’t think I can ever really talk in dreams, but these are the dreams where I have that distinct realization of loosing my ability to speak. I’m stuck. I’m trying to speak but I can’t find my voice, I can’t use my words, despite wanting to. How can this be happening to me? This dream, no matter how beautiful it is, quickly turns into a nightmare. The beautiful blissful fields I’m walking, turn into a deceptive cage. I’m caged by my loss of voice. I’m caged if I can’t use my voice. Really use it, not just to create sounds and vibrations in my throat. But use it to speak the truth. To speak my truth.

I like to think about life like that too. Life outside of dreams. No version of life is acceptable to me that doesn’t let me use my voice. Today, I have a voice. Rest assured, YOU have a voice. It’s yours. Find it, claim it, use it.

Parents Love God More Than They Love Their Child.

How can what a parent want for their child be in so much conflict with what the child wants for herself? How can my path to happiness be littered with hurdles by my very own parents? How can they want this suffering for me? How can they take away my right to love, my right to choose who I want to be with?

All in the name of parenting, all in the name of knowing what’s best, all in the name of god.

But even god allows his people free will. Even god doesn’t control the outcome of human beings, even god let’s people choose. Even god let’s people make decisions for their lives themselves.

If god wanted people to live exactly one kind of life, to be exactly one type of person with one type of outcome, couldn’t he make such a world?

But if god gave me the right to make a choice, a decision, how can another human take that choice away from me?

Every individual human is consumed by their problems and challenges. We’re all operating towards a reality where either problems have been successfully averted or overcome.

It’s important to realize that your problems are JUST your perception. Your problems do not exist within objective reality. If you were removed off the face of the earth, your problems vanish with you. They don’t exist outside of you, they don’t remain despite you.

In simple words, it’s all in your head.

So what can you do to minimize your suffering? If it exists in your mind, it can be resolved in your mind. Not externally, not elsewhere, but in your mind.

Think differently, if you stop seeing it as a problem, it ceases to be one.

So what is happiness? What does it mean to be happy?

Maybe it’s neither a journey, nor a destination. Maybe it’s just the chance to choose. Maybe it’s just freedom, just being allowed to live life on your own terms.

So what is my happiness? Is it the happiness of my family, is it the happiness of God, the acceptance of society, the love of friends? Is my happiness, really mine?

Is my happiness ever going to be truly mine? Mine to keep, mine to pursue, mine to experience. Or does it only exist to serve others? Does it only breathe the oxygen borrowed from others? Is my happiness really mine, or on someone else’s leash?

Insomnia and heartbreak aren’t much different. When your heart is hurting, really hurting, nothing can put it to bed. It’s tossing and turning, trying to shut the racing thoughts, trying to put the devices away, trying to unplug, trying not to think, trying anything and everything to just sleep, to just not feel hurt. But love, like sleep, comes and goes when it wills with nothing but time as your ally.

“Some people live in cages with bars built from their own fears and doubts. Some people live in cages with bars built from other people’s fears and doubts; their parents, their friends, their brothers and sisters, their families. Some people live in cages with bars built from the choices others made for them, the circumstances other people imposed upon them. And some people break free.”

Congratulations world, you’ve broken my soul.

You’ve edited out parts of me that may be too unconventional to handle, you’ve hushed the words I speak that may be too true to hear, you’ve forbidden my actions that may be too rebellious to digest.

Congratulations world, you’ve won. I surrender. Who do you want me to be?

Love who you love while you have them. That’s all you can do. Let them go when you must. If you know how to love, you’ll never run out.

Ann Brashares, My Name Is Memory (via thebookquotes)

There’s something about the sunset that makes you sad, nostalgic and hopeful all at once. There will be another day, the sun will come up again and there is beauty even in the end of something.

“You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place because you’ll never be this way ever again.”

Heaven & Hell | A Sophisticated Scam?

If God has perfect knowledge of everything that ever happens in the world, perfect knowledge of the choices every human being is going to make, if God has a “plan” for your life, is closing and opening doors for you, is herding you down the exact path he has meticulously planned for you, doesn’t that mean your life, your choices, the outcome of your life is determined by him? Doesn’t that mean he’s made the choices for you, taken the decisions for you, decided the actions for you? Then why would you be punished or rewarded for things that God himself dictated for you to begin with?
