Vivamus, moriendum est.
Living has never been a straightforward path.
The one thing that marks the difference between humans lies within the mind.
It's a double-edged weapon though since it can either set you free or bring your downfall.
Greatness has never been an easy thing to achieve.
It wouldn't be as much worth to reach if it was that easy to achieve though.
Long lasting things are the most challenging ones to obtain.
Like peace of mind, friendship, love, a great mindset, self-love no matter the circumstances, the will to keep on living no matter what life slams into your life.
And that's also the very reason why it's something worthy to achieve, because it's something that can accompany us through life.
Not everyone who wanders through life is lost.
There are almost always second chances.
If you think about it, every single day is a new chance.
That's something most people fail to see though.
People are way too busy looking outside, trying to fit in the masses.
It takes nothing to join the crowd.
It takes everything to stand alone.
As I said last time, living, is what you make of your life.
Life gave me the opportunity through a chain of events to grow and mature at a very early age.
That was a blessing in disguise.
People aren't born wise.
However, some people are born with old souls, whose wisdom transforms into a sixth sense, or instinct, claircognizance.
Wisdom earned through living is a never-ending path though, a limitless learning process.
That knowledge is priceless, however, at the end of the day, knowledge is useless if it's not used nor shared.
We're constantly breaking our own limits as we clear the challenges that life presents to us.
Most people see them as problems, that's where the mindset does create a big difference.
You're only as good as your mind, your guts, your courage and your heart.
The most expensive thing in life is something that everyone experiences, sadly it's also something that most part of the people waste.
That's time.
Time is the most expensive thing in the world since time is life itself.
It can't be traded, nor bought.
The second most expensive thing is trust and love.
It can take years to build and mere seconds to destroy.
So, since life already is so short, why waste the time that life offers us?
Most people fail to see and appreciate what they have.
Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
How long is forever?
Sometimes, just one second.
One second disguised as eternity.
One second that accompanies us through our whole lifes.
One second that influences our lifes in such a way that it won't ever be the same.
'It is both a blessing,
and a curse,
to feel everything,
so very deeply.'
Everything I loved already destroyed me enough.
Now add to that, life's unexpected eternal presents.
Everyone has a few chapters they don't read out loud.
I kept going on because I deserved to know what not giving upon myself felt like.
Accept it, or fight it.
Fear it, or control it.
I know, it's a struggle.
It took me drowning in oceans of heartaches to learn how to swim in my waters.
To gather the broken pieces of yourself, sunken within the drifting depths of the oceans.
It's not a beautiful thing.
But, once again, the choice lies on our hands.
Life is only as bitter as you allow it to be.
I'm not sharing all this for you to feel sorry for me, but so you can understand why I am who I am, where my resilience comes from.
It's willpower, tenacity.
Black is a blend of the brightest colours and yet, the darkest shade. The darkest night produces the brightest stars.
The very last thing I will ever lose is my smile.
We're surrounded by beauty, breathtaking views offered by mother nature.
And breathtaking souls that offer us time, inspiration.
I fall in love with souls, not faces.
Our minds and hearts can only be as big as our perseverance, as our dreams, as our inspiration and our willingness to try and to fail, to suffer, to get up, to understand, and give it our all once more, as many times as it takes to succeed.
No matter how dark life has been, it has all been worth it as long as I got back on my feet and stronger than ever before.
I refuse to bow my head to fate.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving the fault to life.
Many experiences were results of my own bad decisions.
But here's the thing, sometimes in our lifetimes we experience things presented by life itself that no one would ever want to live through.
And suddenly, life wasn't about living.
It was all about surviving.
Some things can't be changed no matter how much you wish to.
So try to make the best out of it.
No matter the challenges.
No matter the setbacks.
It's hard to forget your story when it's written all over your body.
But your skin without the scars would be like the sky without the stars.
There's always a glimmer in those who have been through the dark.
There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.
My texts don't have to rhyme, it just has to touch where my hands couldn't.
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tries, and a touch that never hurts.
I ain't crazy, my reality is just different than most part of the people. My inner world is so complex that it's too insane to be able to explain, so I usually don't bother with it since most people are way too plain to be able to understand anyways.
Also, most people don't listen to understand, they listen to respond.
The issue nowadays is that instead of loving people and using things, people are used while things are loved.
In regards to life, I'm also a paradox.
I'm as thankful as I can be since all these experiences made from me, the proud self I am today.
I'm also quite stubborn, since in regards to life, I hate to lose against it.
I refuse to give in.
I refuse to leave this life without having given my all.
I refuse to give up without having seen myself achieve my dreams.
As long as I have breath, life within me, the path goes on.
We must go on.
Let us live, for we must die. ~
Verba volant, scripta manent.
Veritas lux mea.
I wish you happy and safe travels, thank you for everything.
