God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
God: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
God: When they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me". Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
Description:
God: Hello. Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No... Who is this?
God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.
Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now I
am in the midst of something..
God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Me: Don't know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic.
It's rush hour all the time.
God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results.
Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Me: I understand. But I still cant figure it out. By the way, I was
not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
God: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you
some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the
medium you are comfortable with.
Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it
complicated.
Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?
God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.
You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become
your habit. That’s why you are not happy.
Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
god: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty…
God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life becomes better not bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?
God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..
God: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. ! Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Me: What surprises you about people?
God: When they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me". Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't get the answer.
God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve.Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live it.

Christmas Poem
Snow falls soft and light
Candles burn hot and bright
One raises a tree
Decorated for all to see
Displayed proud in a bay window
A menorah in the neibors window stands
Lit by a childs small hands
All up and down the street
Th holiday spirits of people meet
For this time of the year
Is all about spreading good cheer
There is no difference between reality and imagination. At least not in imagination, just in reality.
Brilliant, no?

My whole life i'v been runing away...It's time for me to stop...But where???
All that is gold doesn't glitter, not all who wander are lost...
-That which doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. ~
-I'm not crazy, my reality is just different then yours
-Life is too short... so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly, and forgive quickly.
-In the beginning, there was nothing, and it exploded... tell me what's wrong with this picture? ~Seems to be everywhere now days, no?

He... poems to friends are nice
found this in [BuBbLyBlOnDe]'s house
I tried to think of all the ways you've made me smile...
...then I realized there were too many to count,
I tried to count how many heartbeats I have per minute when your around...
...I lost count around two-hundred something,
I tried to point out a star for every way I love you...
...but I kinda ran outta sky.
I thought to myself, 'hm, why does it figure that when you came into my life, I run out of things to compare you to?'
...then I realized, you're too good to compare
I believe in angels,
the kind that heaven sends
...I'm surrounded
By angels, but I call
Them my best friends
You do not want to read this, don't bother.
I feel pissed off. So I will rant here were it bothers no one.
I just had to mow the lawn. We are in the middle of a heat wave. It was the middle of the afternoon. My lawnmower is incredibly heavy, probably heavier than I am. It is also the ancient kind you have to push! With my hands. Which hurt a lot. Because the stupid handle vibrates. And I have carpatunnel syndrome. And scratches on my palm. Which hurt a lot. As did the scratches o my ankle. because my boots were rubbing against them. So the cuts were all opened up again. And burned like fire when I got in the shower afterwards. And my lawn isnt exactly small....
The sad thing, I don't get paid.
Thank goodness for Diaries, they spare oither people my ranting.
As we grow up, we learn that even the one
person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down
probably will. You will have your heart broken probably
more than once and it's harder every time. You'll
break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours
was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll
blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry
because time is passing too fast, and you'll
eventually lose someone you love. So take too many
pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been
hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a
minute of happiness you'll never get back.
I found this in [princess-of-darkness]'s house and I thought it was very beautiful.
For the last couple weeks I haven't been able to sleep At night. I have been staying up till all hours of the morning doing art, going on the computer, reading. Its bad because im falling into the habit. i am always getting bad habits...
The difference between Guys and Girls:
(None of these people are my friends)
I walk into a classroom and a guy says "Look! its ___, duck!"- he and his friends laugh. Afterwards he actually apologizes.
I walk into a second classroom. A couple of -shallow- girls (again, NOT my friends) start acting all fake friendly. Then they act all offended as I were being cruel when I barely acknowledge them. Even though ruining my life is their favorite hobby.
Guys can be mean, but girls are cruel.
I think I prefer the guys.
I hadn't been eating for a while and my friend invited me over to her pool. So I bike a little over one and a half miles. The 5 of us were in the pool for about 4-5 houres and by the end I was close to passing out. Later it bagan to thunder and my dad called telling me I should get home quickly before the storm began. DId Imention we were inside at this point becasue we didnt want to get hit by the falling branches? SO I biked home in under two minutes, one and a half miles. Thats very fast for me.
LISTEN UP STUPID PEOPLE!
Firstly: It is boring and unoriginal
Secondly: We don't even know you
Third: I bet you get pissed off if the answer doesn't suit you because the only person who responds to that kind of thing is a loser
GET THIS:
If I had you locked in my room for 24 hours, I would kick you out of there so fast you wouldn't know what hit you. What the fuck are you doing in my house anyway!
Why the hell would you want to be in my room!
You are obviously a unoriginal,pat
I like black mirrors. They make me look pretty.
Razors pain you
rivers are damp.
Acids stain you
and drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful
and nooses give.
Gas smells awful
you might as well live.

Great poem
86% of statistics are made up on the spot, 12% are twisted in some sort of manner to make a point, 1.9999% are not caculated correctly, and 0.01% actually might be of some sort of worth... Only 38% of an unknown population of people know this, and an outstanding 92% ACTUALLY like reading bullshit statistics.... If you are the elite 8% that hate bullish statistics like "94% of teenagers won't stand up for god; repost this if you're the 4% that will".... well, good for you! We share a certain thought... like the other 8%... of some sort of elite group of people that exists in.... some larger group of people...

FIND OUT HOW TO GET RID OF THIS FUCKING TATTOO
Broken Heart
If you are there
You can’t help but care
But when you go
You no longer know
Everything is backwards know
I suddenly wonder why? how?
Did I ever think this
How could I have changed – but I miss
All I have left behind
Flies around my tortured mind
Joy and sorrow battle within
My poor head and make it spin
Shall I never have any respite
From my internal fight
I can hardly bear to see
What I myself have done to me
Why can no one let me be who
I have become or want to
My heart is shattered all that’s left is a shard
It has flown so high and fallen so hard
Lost my soul as homeless as I
Flutters across the ever-changing sky
It can never stop or rest
Forever fluttering within my breast
A cage of bars sharp stabbing
And all around hands grabbing
A piece of love I give to all I hold
And into my broken heart fold
Those who I would spare
The pain of having ones heart tear
I could not think to release
Even one betrayed piece
I will remember I will hang on
Even to those long dead and gone
All my friends my family my kin
We stick together through thick and thin
Sheltering each other when we are in pain
Through emotional storms we hold fast again
We lift the fallen to their feet
And help broken hearts continue to beat
