There is so much hatred in the world that I don't understand how people don't appreciate every bit of happiness they see. It seems like happiness itself comes less and less as a get older, so I make sure to take full advantage of every oppotunity to seize it. I try to get out and experience "being" in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Though sometimes lifehere almost feels like being dead, life involves too much tragedy to not escape reality every once in a while. Kick back, have a drink, forget your homework. Just break the rules a little.
Don't become another number. There are over 50,000 people aged 13-25 who commit suicide in the United States every year. The leading cause of attempted suicide by teens? Stress and loneliness. Don't let this life get the best of you. We all die eventually, so enjoy it while you have it. Don't take anything too seriously, unless it's having fun. Love without holding back, even if it's just once. I mean, come on. I don't see how people can let death catch up to them. Dying apathetically, pssh. That's just silly, children. I'm not letting death grip me. I will never die.
Forget yesterday, we'll make the great escape....

“Death come to all who wait” and we all stand in line. Death is not a scary thing waiting in a dark corner waitng to pounce of the unsuspecting. Death is a reminder of life and its fleetness, many of us get caught up in the appearance of life that is to say what others think life is, what magazines and or society tells us what life is. We are supposed to dress a certain way, love a certain way, behave a certain way and above all else we are to allow ourselves to be pressed into a preconceived mold and live happily in this cookie cutter world. Yet what I have found is that those who live this way are angrier then those who follow the herd instinct.
After all a male who has grown up in the environment that I have, an environment that that prides and submerges in the machismo mentality, would frown and ridicule a man that loves to read and write poetry. If I was to follow the herd I would be doing something I totally disagree with simply to appease the society of which I am a member and I would be contemplating suicide. Instead I have learned to say “fuck” what you think of me I what makes me happy if on the way towards my happiness I can make someone else happy then that is a welcome bonus.
So yes live life, enjoy it but don’t live it for the moment live it for a lifetime.
