“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves....”

Favorite Things.
Here is a short, incomplete list of some of my favorite things. Posting this seems so selfish and self-indulging, deal with it. Its my tumblr. Here. It. Comes.
The extraordinary. Stuff that you just know in your bones is special. Extraordinary people are hands down one of the best things in the whole world.
Food. You gotta eat. Make it good.
Risks. More specifically people who make a habit of...
“But Catherine did not know her own advantages - did not know that a good-looking...”
– Northanger Abby -Jane Austen
Jane Austen makes me smile.
(via rawrockkilz)
Austen is so gosh darn brilliant. Both her writing style and her observations about the way things are.
Disappointment.
When you think of disappointment, what event in your personal history pops into your head? I’m sure the answers would be all over the spectrum, some heartbreaking, some fairly trivial. Disappointment is one of the things that unites all humans, because all of us have experienced it and know in varying degrees the pang that signals it.
I’ll be honest I have had very few disappointments...
Responsibility sucks.
I hate responsibility. Hate it. Sometimes I wonder why I choose to be the good guy. Sometimes it sucks so much. Its been the story of my life so far, I have always been one to get caught the first time I do something wrong. However, I know almost for a fact that if I didn’t choose the good guy route I would not be even close to the person I am now, or have the opportunities I have now. I...
dirtandglitter:
This is for the nights I can’t sleep, the dreams I can’t shake, and the thoughts that race through my mind.
This whole writing process is a cleansing of what has been in my head and heart for so long, it finally got too big and I had to get it our or else I would burst.
This big huge thing called life that we all deal with every day is nothing less than extraordinary, and if...
Don't try it.
Now and then someone will tell me “no” or “you can’t”. I hate this. When they do I try 10 times harder to: 1. convince them otherwise 2. prove to them I can. I have never met a better motivation than ”you can’t”. I verge on the edge of apathy on most subjects, (that helps me be focused and passionate about a few) but as soon as someone says I...
“I want to work in revelations, not just spin silly tales for money. I want to...”
– Jack Kerouac (via nihilnoetia) (via gottfried)
Distill this.
So many thoughts going through my head and so little time to post. So here’s a list:
- Great weekend
- People are like stocks, constantly changing, some are performing better than anyone would have thought, some are falling way short of their potential.
- Road trips are top on my list of ways to spend a weekend. People that hate being lost, basically hate adventure, are buzzkills. Live a...
Fighting.
Even when a fight is worth fighting, it still kicks the crap out of you. I get screenshots pop into my head from a bunch of terrible 80’s action movies, scenes where the hero is on the ground gasping for air. The only difference between my life and those movies is the soundtrack. Dare I say my soundtrack is better? I think so.
Pep Talks.
I realized that most of my text posts are, in a way, self pep talks. The things I put yall through….
Greatness.
I’m starting to become self-aware of my potential for greatness. Before you cry foul, lemme make two points, don’t stop reading now and write me off as an modern Napoleon (which I might be btw.)
One: Being aware of my amazing potential keeps me from settling for the lowest common denominator or even second best, thus keeping me out of bad trouble (I believe there is such a thing as...
Nothing - Madness.
School is taking over, granted its my first day back, but I can already feel myself slipping into the whole “don’t sleep, miss homework, guess on tests thing.” You know what that also means? That means you won’t have to worry about my constant daily posts anymore. Go ahead throw a party, just don’t invite me, that would be weird.
So while I’m (mostly) gone this...
“It is fortunate to be of high birth, but it is no less so to be of such...”
– Jean de La Bruyere (via nihilnoetia) (via gottfried)
forgetfulness...
is killing me.
“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides, and...”
– St. Augustine (via dirtandglitter)
Q&A Session minus the A.
Ever thought, “huh, I have no idea how to handle this situation?” huh? Me too. Matter if fact I’m in the middle of one of those seemingly unwinnable situations right now. So what should happen when I run up against an insurmountable issue? I don’t know, I was hoping you would. Should I just wish myself good luck and know good will come out of it (cuz it will), no matter...
Fear This.
Quick post. I wanna talk about fear. Fear controls us, guides us, wrestles us into mediocrity. The few who master fear, scared of nothing and no one, are legendary individuals. Many of us are afraid of something and rarely that fear is helpful. Maybe we are scared of people’s opinion, failure, loneliness, each of us has our own personal Waterloo. The only antidote is love, perfect love. The...
“All endings are also beginnings. We just don’t know it at the time.”
– Mitch Albom (via littlemiss)
its said you can't blame a guy for trying...
but, actually you can, in fact, blame a guy for trying.
Jersey Shore Guido.
Jersey Shore post. I had to, its almost a social phenomenon by now. I have only watched one episode, so this is in no way a review or judgement on the show. I’m gonna stay far away from that, I’m not interested in that at all.
Had a conversation over the weekend about a life devoted to the pursuit of fun versus a life in pursuit of something more. I have to admit the lifestyles of the...
No post. Video games are more important.
Moving.
Second day of changing my current reality and I hate its guts. Seriously. What is it about the act of shaking the dust off my sandals and walking to the next city that makes it so hard? This is a post where I start writing, hoping to find an answer to a question I have. See this is the problem though, I’m looking for that all elusive silver bullet, that will make things easier. I know deep...
Sober.
This post has nothing to do with alcohol, sorry if I got your hopes up. This has more to do with that sober mind-feeling I get when my mind isn’t carried away with anything, when my mind isn’t drunk, if you will. I have found how dangerous it is when my mind gets absolutely set on the wrong things, I end up doing stuff I shouldn’t and it has adverse effects. I don’t want to...
