**** happens, we all make mistakes, the best of us learn from them, the worst of us don't and continue to fall. It's all a game we play this thing called life. moving our tokens one step at a time hoping not to take the wrong path and wind up in a losing position. Rolling the dice of life and blaming bad rolls on something other than what it actually is, choice, not just yours, everyone's. There's a chance that even if you do everything right in life somehow you may end up in a losing position. We all want different things for ourselves, it's when we see what it truly is that matters. Some don't see it until they have something that they already thought they wanted... sometimes what's most appealing to us isn't what we want... it's what the thoughts in the front of our mind are telling us we want. Take a few minutes sometime when your life really looks like it's perfect or the worst it can get... it's at these times that you think of things that could be better or you want to change... so change them. Take away the dice and write out your own game. Fear is an excuse for weak people to hide behind and point fingers at those they say are the cause of their fears. be proud of what you are for it is someone special and unique. Other people can say anything they want about you from the outside looking in, but they don't know the circumstances that have brought you to be what you are. Make your life yours and live it like you want. Nobody has a right to tell you how to live it. if you have a problem with anything, fix it, there has to be some way out there to do it, just find it. If you want it bad enough you'll make it happen. There are no bounds to what you can accomplish when you believe. So many people have said this before and I'm saying it again because maybe I'll be the tipping point and someone that reads this will finally say... hey, I CAN do this and I WILL do it and nothing can stop me. The ramblings of a mad man behind a mask of sanity or just some intuitive thoughts, either way these words I believe with my soul. Even though I may lack the courage to do what I myself am telling others to do, I hope to someday rid myself of these schackles of fear and throw myself into this world I know can be mine. If only I would seize the moment and make it happen... that day may be yet to come, but for those of you who are ready for your day, make it happen. It's yours. Inspire me by making me inspire you, and someday soon maybe we all will see that the past is ours to let ppl know or push away and forget.. nobody needs to know.. you can make a new life... so do it if you want and make it one that you're proud of.

well said, with passion and heart...

When you remove your shackles and throw yourself into this world, hold your head up high, look fear right in the eye, and rise above it...Good luck to you...
