Humans

We rely on judgement from others to define us

Yet we say we don't like to judge

We lie, mostly without knowing, but we lie all the same 

But we can't help it, it's  who we are

Our skin can either be warm with the hot blood inside us

Or cold because of the icy world we've placed ourselves in

We look back with regrets

but forward with expectation

We sleep in silence by ourselves

But with others, silence is uncomfortable

This is who we've become

Was this destined? Or did we bring it upon ourselves? 

We search for answers

But the big ones are always hidden

Advice from Me to You

So, yeah. Life. The terrible thing we all go through every second. The happy moments. The sad ones. The anger-filled ones. The peaceful ones. Based on huge decisions. Or is it? Is it deciding to go to college, or is it apple pie instead of blueberry? I think it's about the type of pie you choose. How could you go to college if you never ate that apple pie? Wait. Let me rephrase that. How could you go to college if you waited till the last minute to do that 1000 point project? Those points add up you know. That D amounts to a lot in the long-run. How could you marry your first love if you didn't decide to tell her you liked her 5 years ago? Do you know what I'm trying to say? Let's just assume you don't for a second. I'm saying to put some extra thought into those 'small' decisions. Okay? Maybe that will make your life just that much better. Just don't forget about me telling you this. Okay, fine. I know you can't help it. But I won't forget you. How bout that? I'll remember that I helped you. There's a quick decision I just made there. Oh, and your welcome by the way. And one more thing. Be yourself. Yeah. How many times have you heard that one? But who's more wise? The adult who told you that before, or the 13 year old writing a blog post. Okay maybe you shouldn't think of it that way... How about you just trust me? The world works a lot better when we trust each other, you know. And stop being so American. Your life doesn't suck. Don't you dare say that while  so many African kids  die of Ebola every day. Shut up about waiting 7 minutes for your microwave Mac & Cheese. Thank you.
