PSA

Keep in mind that there are only two worlds in existence. There is yours and there is everyone else's. The one world you should focus on is your own. If you were to rate your priorities, yourself should be at 90% with every else at 10%. Your entrance into other worlds is a fantastic thing. Friends, family, etc. However, don't rely on it. If you start turning around to other people, your world begins to turn warped and distorted, attaching itself to others. From there, you spiral downhill, dragging those with you down.

Strike out on your own. If you start to fall behind, don't be afraid to ask for support. This is where things usually get awry. If these other worlds are pushing or pulling you, you've gone too far. They should just be holding you steady, keeping you from destruction.

In other words, don't rely on other people. If you have a problem, no matter what it may be, reach outward for stability so you can pull yourself back to your feet. From there, keep going onward on your own power.

In other news, things are getting rather character oriented IF you know what I mean. So, I'm going to lay back and relax for a few days. Maybe it'll die down. I've got some anime to catch up on anyways.

It's... gravitation.

On a more serious note, though, I believe I see what you're trying to get across, and I'm glad that you've brought it up. I never need to think of why I love you, Caleb. ♥ You say things so articulately and clearly get across what you intend to. But that aside, people these days have a ridiculously low amount of self-esteem and it's all they can do to rely on others, I think.

The concept of standing on their own two feet and doing things for themselves is too strange. It's a lot easier to do things for others, most of the time. People like easy; it gets them by and they don't need to try as hard. They just get too used to it and never try for the challenges. And supporting yourself is certainly a challenge enough, hmm?


We have movie dates all this weekend bb. ♥ We'll blend right into the shadows, hmm~?

The horrors of Amerikkka.

Two more to go.

..I wish your advice was as easy to follow as it is to understand. Not when you've always been the type of person to lean on others, or have others lean on you - but it's something I have to learn.

Ilu too, bb.

Just punch people in the face. It always works.

That was inspiring. ;_;

Mmm, I dunno. I agree with some of the things you're saying, but I feel like I should put myself last, not first. Not in the sense that I shouldn't take care of yourself, but in the sense that other people should be the priority?

I see what you mean but sadly, in today's world, that doesn't get you too far. Maybe if there were radical social changes, it would be perfect but that type of attitude is generally looked on as something to be envied but just looked upon nicely. I don't mean to bust on it but reality is rather harsh.

I don't care if it doesn't get me far...I'd like to think that there's more to life than the rat race.

I can't say that I really live that way, but I'd like to.
