"Many brave things were done that night, but none were more brave than those done by men playing minute after minute as the ship settled quietly lower and lower in the sea. The music they played served alike as their own immortal requiem and their right to be recalled on the scrolls of undying fame."
- Passenger of the Titanic

He drew a circle that shut me out —
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in.
~ Edwin Markham, Outwitted

I call it: the hipster paradox
I ask you; how many hipsters do there need to be before being a hipster becomes "mainstream" thus rendering the term "hipster" null and void?
*now, even though I felt extremely clever when I thought of this two days ago, a quick look on google showed that I'm not the first one to think this up...darn!

Cos when love starts out
It's all peachy
I love you, you love me, seems easy
It's like a walk in the park
But sometimes it takes an act of my will
And a walk in a park turns to uphill
But i promise to give you my heart
Love is just so beautiful
But sometimes it takes work
And the ones you love
At times can leave you so hurt
I will choose to love you, yeah
Even though i wanna stay mad
Even though i wanna get angry
Though it may be easier to walk away
I will choose to stay and love you
~ Stan Walker, Choose You

Get Real...
I can't believe I'm only just realizing this now...
I'm unpredictable.
I can be reaching sky high one moment and settling for mediocrity the next. I can work like a machine one minute, and be about as active as a dead fish the next.
I know what it takes to be successful. I've been working towards this my entire life.
I thought I'd sacrifice the fun stuff for now, like a social life...because you can't have it all. No pain, no gain. And I'd put up with a lot of pain.
I just thought, if I was able to excel in one area of my life, I'll make a difference in this world, everyone will listen to me, and respect my opinion, and I'll have a reason to be proud of myself. Everyone likes those confident, go-getter type people, right?
Did I really just expect to blossom into a social butterfly? Did I really think I'd be able to turn a blind eye to my crippling imperfections, and never have to deal with them? Was I really that naive?
The phrase "everything will work itself out, just give it time" should be banned.
I'm just not cut out for success. Because I can't commit.
And I'm not cut out for happiness either, because I don't understand it.
Glad that's all out.

Some are like water some are like the heat,
Some are the melodies some are the beat,
Sooner or later they'll all be gone,
Why don't they stay young?
It's hard to get old without a cause,
I don't want to perish like a fading voice,
Youth is like diamonds in the sun,
And diamonds are forever,
~ Forever Young, Alphaville

Let's delay our misery.
(Chorus)
Save tonight
And fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone

“I´ve always been a dreamer. I don´t mean a dreamer as in “I have a dream”. I mean a dreamer as in heads-in-the-clouds-earth-to-the-weird-philosopher-scatterbrain. I can spend hours and days submerged in fantasy scenarios. And at some point those days add up to years. Now, dreaming away your life sure has a bad name. It´s what losers do, right? Instead, I should rather go out there and live. And many of my dreams are about doing just that. For some reason, though, I can never really muster up the willpower to do it. To be honest, I don´t even know how to do it. Because I´m pretty sure by now that I enjoy my dreams a whole lot more than I´d enjoy them coming true. I feel like there is just nothing out there for me..”

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.
Rosa Parks
Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins.
Charles Stanley
With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.
Dalai Lama
The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you.
William Jennings Bryan
“Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.”
Rumi, Essential Rumi
“When someone tells me "no," it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.”
Karen E. Quinones Miller
“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.”
Lao Tzu
“At every given moment we are absolutely perfect for what is required for our journey.”
Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
YOU CAN DO IT!

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.
Henry Drummond
The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.
Gustave Flaubert
