Let go of Your Fears

Fear is whats holding back our dreams,

we always set goals and never accomplish them because we don't want to fail.

Why are we so scared to reach our potential, we don't want to have the spotlight on us when we actually do something good because we will be expected to do more. But isn't that how its supposed to be so we can keep getting better? Why would you want to stay average when there's so much more to life.

Just think if everyone great was afraid to fail,

founding fathers, failed
 moon landing, failed
Steve Jobs, failed
 every athlete ever, failed
 musicians, failed
 poets and writers, failed
YOU, failed

dont be stuck living in your parents basement waking up every morning and going to your lame job where you hate everyone, only to go to the bar after to spend that hard earned 7.25/hr at the bar wasting your life away.

And why?

Because you didn't want to reach your dreams and you failed because you were afraid to fail.

Let go of your fears and be the person you can be.

Screw The Cool Kids

Everyone wants to be different, to be "Hipster", to be cool.

But if we're all being different, aren't we all being the same? 

Why is everyone so consumed with being different, 

While cliques are also such a priority?

If everyone is either trying to be one of the Plastics or hating them, they're all wrong. Who gives a Damn about the what color you're wearing on Wednesday? NO ONE.

Does it really matter what the cool kids are doing, if its not what you want to do to make you happy? 

Start your own clan and the real cool kids will follow, be your own hipster because what do those other hipsters know anyway? 

xoxo

I don't know why I thought that It would change, but I did. I thought that we could just go back to the way it was, but now I know we can't. Because you're not the person now that you were then, and I guess neither am I.

Opposite of a Brick

Why are bricks so hard to write about!? I can write about everything that is the opposite of a brick.

like change

like love

like storms

like adventure

like music

like freedom



like being alone

like that Pink Floyd song

like my dating life, jk that's not going anywhere

I guess by writing about everything that isn't a brick I actually wrote about bricks...

Bricks change everyday, you lay down a nice square one and it cracks, and warps, and is broken, and fades away until you replace it with a shiny new one.

Bricks are love, like the way I want to throw a brick at you so you'll notice me the way I notice you.

Bricks are storms because sometimes its gonna rain cats and dogs, but bricks just soak it all up.

Bricks are adventure because each one has its own story to tell.

Bricks are like being alone because there's always more than one


Im really not sure what Im trying to say about bricks, because they're so strong but also crumble over time.

And why don't we use them to build houses anymore? It worked for the 3 little pigs...
