Since I fell for you

When things don't go according to plan

If plan 'A' fails, remember you have 25 letters left.

Living on a Prayer

There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you.
I guess you made enough impact on me that I will never for get you.

YOU.

You. Yes, you. I am writing this for you.

I know you are reading this. And I want you to know I am writing this for you. No one else will understand. No one else knows. They think that this is for them. But it’s not. I am writing this for you.

I want you to know, life…it’s hard. Every day can be a challenge. It can be a challenge to get up in the morning. To get yourself out of bed. To put on that smile. But I want you to know, that smile is what keeps me going some days. You need to remember, even through the tough times, you are amazing. You really are.

You should be happy. You are gorgeous.

I know that the weather might not be perfect. You might have to turn your back to the wind or feel the cold nipping at your nose. But you know what, at least you are there to feel it. At least you can enjoy the sun’s warm rays on your face. Or that cold winter wind biting at your cheeks. You know what that means?

You are alive.

Everything will be okay.

You deserve to be happy.

“Happiness is a habit – cultivate it.” ~ Elbert Hubbard

What life brings

In one year from today, How will your life be different?


Trust in your life to take you where you are supposed to be.
Open your mind to options and just relax, you'll be surprised what might come up.

Beautiful Blue

Beautiful Blue
So deep and true
You are my every thought
Shrouded by your every aspect
Stretching as far as the mind can see
To the future? but which paths to follow
May our hearts and minds lead us just

What comes next…?

Have you had struggles in your life, hurdles in the race of that you just stumble over constantly?

Letting go is never easy
sometimes our mind is willing but our heart says no...

Sometimes there are things you regret, things you would like to take back,
things you would like to change if you could.
but we all have to live with the residue of our choices, and the consequence of our actions.

Others may be concerned for you, but let them know that you are the luckiest person alive to be able to move forward.

Some people never get to touch their dreams,
never get to know what that feels like.
Never find that thing they love, or get to do it for a living.
So is that a tragedy to have that taken away from you?
No, the tragedy would be to lay awake at night wondering 'what if?'

For those who have believed in you once, will believe in you again.
So for now, say goodbye to this chapter of you life, and look forward to what comes next.

What Life Brings

I mentioned to a friend that I was lonely. They then said that no one should be lonely Russell, especially not you. That is where I said "I know, but we don't always choose what happens in our life. We just have to take what is served up to us, some of it will be good but other times it will be shit. "

Life can be shit sometimes, but its also what you make out of life that counts. I am probably the biggest culprit for bottling up issues and emotions, I would have a dark cellar over filled with aging bottles of my life by now.

I have never really had people that I feel that I could burden my life upon, not for will of trying, but more because I don't feel I should lay them down to people. I am the person my friends come to when they have troublesome issues and I feel it in me to take their burdens away from them.

There are some of us who love to help others and give those who are in need of emotional relief. We just need to be sure they are taken care of, before we start having our bottles attended to. And if they are anything like me, it will take a little while, a lot of trust and one kick arse bottle opener.


If you have a friend who is always out there helping others with issues, take some time on them to make sure they are actually ok.
Sometime we want to talk to :)

its your life...

The longer you wait for the future

The shorter it will be...

The world in turns

The people you don't even notice, often knows your worth.

















And some people you care about make you feel trashed and stupid.

The Silent Rose

The silent rose
Whispers your name
It echoes through out the land
If only the silent rose could speak
Would it tell me of a love wanting to be deep
Oh how my heart would truly be
When this rose blossoms with light
It radiates you in the dismal night

Love

love only happens when it is cosmic and when it is ment to be
love only happens when two hearts beat in time
be happy will not you, for your friends rejoice.

when it is indefinite, it burns like a permeating torch to my soul
its not fair that I am ready to release
when all i want from you is peace

Choices

We waste our words and we waste or moments, and we don't take the time to say the things in our hearts when we have the chance.

We all fail, some of us have the fortitude to pick ourselves up and some of us will never have that. Some of us have grace in our hearts and the ability to show compassion, and some of us don't.

Forgiveness does not exist, it is simply what you do, and how you pay for it.

So remember that when you practice what ever evils in you heart, or when you cheat or steal, lust or hate or gossip or covet. What ever it is that you do, or planing to do or have done...
There is no forgiveness there is just what comes next.

There is only pain, guilt and the misery of knowing who you are and what you did.

So don't do it, Just stop before its too late.

Free & New

Lost in an unknown world,

where others don't understand.

Free to be you and no one cares

autonomous as a bird flying by

Float away born free and new,

great energy radiates a bright glow.

Cautious with the delicateness of life

all troubles drift away,

like a troublesome dream away with dawn.

Born free and new life

lights up like a radiant glow.

Sun down on all old whither away

like an elderly leaf on the verge of autumns peril

Absorb like no tomorrow

as there are still new things to come.

Tomorrow is a day to start afresh

everything will fall into place.

keep it vivid

Have you ever had a dream that was so real,
that when you woke up you didn't know what to believe?

What would you do, if what you though was true wasn't,

and what you thought wasn't true was?
Would you retreat into your dreams with the hope of finding a more perfect reality?

Sometimes life is stranger than a dream
and the only way to wake up, is to face what lies you've hidden in your soul.
And you can only hope that in those dark moments of reflection...

that you are not alone.

Resolution

Where will you go?
What will you be?
Will you give in or will you succeed.

Sometimes tough choices have to be made in an effort for you to succeed.
It is up to you if you are willing to make them happen or succumb to defeat.

When you decide on the path you are going to take, stand tall, be bold and take it one step at a time. It is only then that you will achieve your goal, and if you feel like your going to fail don't be afraid to take the challenge, its merely a minor obstacle testing you to see if you are ready to succeed in life or learn some more.

"Never let the fear of striking out stop you from winning the game"

Retract

Sometimes people say things they don't mean

or do things they can not take back

Sometimes we do the things that we can not take back

so we feed ourselves to starve the pain

Unburden yourself from the mistakes of your past

and when you do, your heart grows stronger

it doesn't mean what you have done is forgotten

what you have done is out there

and what you have done remembers

Michael Joseph Savage.

Michael Joseph Savage was the first Labour Prime Minister of New Zealand and lead the nation for 14 years from 1935 to 1949.

Under his time as the leader of this nation, Labour introduced:

Compulsory trade unionism
The 40 hour working week
Introduced welfare benefits for invalids and the unemployed
Removed most fees for healthcare and secondary education
Began the state housing programme, providing rental houses for low-income workers
Replaced the term 'Native' with 'Maori' in official usage, including the Minister of Māori Affairs

These things make what New Zealand is today, an amazing nation of diversity and support for those in need of welfare.

We are only a small and young nation, but we march with a union of hearts and souls to a common destiny.
- Michael Joseph Savage

Can't you see?

Take a look at your self in the mirror, who do you see looking back?
Is it the person you want to be?
Or is there someone else you were meant to be, the person you should have been but fell short of.

Is someone telling you, you cant, or you wont? Because you can!
Believe that love is out there
Believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do

Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money or fame or power, sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family and the quiet knowbility of leading a good life
Believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do
So take a look in that mirror and be happy, because you deserve to be
Believe that! And believe that dreams do come true everyday, because they do
