Bits and Pieces

Every so often I come across things I've scribbled in old notebooks or typed hastily into a text file that I saved and forgot about. It's strange that I usually come across these tidbits when I most need inspiration. Here are a few old tidbits....



Sometimes it is hard to continue to stand because you are so filled with doubt in your own course that you begin to question your choices.

Right now I want to believe that the good guys win. I want to believe that eventually those that are honest will always come out above those that are not. I want to believe that you don't have to crush others in order to get ahead. I want to believe that bullies get their due even if it doesn't happen immediately.

I don't want to allow anyone to narrow and degrade my soul by causing me to hate them. (Thank you Booker T. Washingon)

I want to learn to be an example of strength and not one that crumbles at the first sign of adversity. I want to be better than I am. I want to be stronger than I am. I want to be all that I need and I want to be able to give strength to those that need it.

I want to believe in what's right even when it isn't easy.

“Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”

I Love history because it shows the progress of humans
It shows that change happens even if you can't see it at the time
It is hope because it shows that we can better ourselves.

Being more self-aware helps us to be better people.

I like being able to look back on my life and see the moments that were so awful at the time become small and insignificant matters in the grand scheme of life.

When the cold of winter comes
Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain

But in dreams
I can hear your name
And in dreams
We will meet again

When the seas and mountains fall
And we come, to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there,
I will go there
And back again
