Higher

The higher you aim, the further you have to fall, but none of that matters so long as you focus on what's to come.

Every thought

People keep complaining about how ugly, fat, or alone they are. I just don’t understand. I don’t care how you look, how much acne you have, how much you weigh. I don’t wear make up, I wear five dollar t-shirts and the same style jeans, and I make fun of the fat that layers my body. I go around every day knowing exactly what I’ll see in the mirror, so I don’t look(maybe because I’m scared of seeing something I didn’t before). I want so badly to understand what you see in yourself that makes you hate your self so much.
Here’s a story for you. I’m always first to gym(among other classes) so I’m in the locker room first every day. Everyday, I see one girl walk into the locker room, and every day the first thing she goes to is the wall length mirror(No, I don’t watch her after wards, I just watch her and the other girls at the mirror and how they look at themselves- I’m not a creep). I swear, I’m already done dressing with my shoes laced and everything before she’s done ridiculing herself in the reflection.Sure, she’s not very attractive or thin, but I don’t believe people should look at themselves everyday and find every flaw in themselves as they possibly can. It’s simply not healthy! One day, I want to talk to her, tell her that she’s beautiful and that she doesn’t need to spend all day staring at herself. I see and hear people saying demeaning things about themselves everyday, and it kills me because if I speak up, then they’ll think I’m this creepy eavesdropper, and if I don’t they’ll continue to think that they’re some disgusting beast.
Everybody is beautiful in some way, trust me. I’m just like you, I walk around everyday wishing I were this or that and having half the mind to just drop everything and run away for a while. Sometimes I find myself standing in front of the mirror thinking, I’m too fat, too strange, my pores are to large, I have too many pimple, my hair is too thick, why do I have hair here? So, this isn’t coming from a perfect girl model who has flawless skin and a flat stomach. I just know enough to look at my self and find things that are positive about myself and not what I need to fix because I have nothing to fix. I’m not broken, I’m just not perfect. The same goes for everybody else.

Storm

There's a storm brewing inside you and if you don't let it go, the thunder is only going to get louder.

Stop

Maybe if we could all just stop and realize that there’s nothing wrong with who we are, there wouldn’t be as many people crying right now…

Wait

When you're waiting for what seems like forever, you start to realize you don't even know what you're waiting for. In the end, you'll always be waiting for something because you'll always be wondering about something.

Candles

Don't tell me my dreams will never come true, don't tell me to reconsider my wishes, because my candles are burning out fast and I can't afford to loose my chance.
