Over the last 2-3 years, I coined a few quotes:
"Life is molded from broken high school dreams."
"You'll find greater appreciation for life and mortality after you've witnessed or experienced fear and danger."
"Loyalty on the grounds of friendship is questionable."
"Life is like a fighter aircraft being shredded by machine guns or getting clipped by a missile."
"The world would be better off without people who speak harsh and cruel words as well as people who speak selfishly. But that would just defeat the purpose of our existence."
"Shut up and listen!"
"The test of loyalty begins when one accepts someone's hand in friendship."
"One's seriousness inspires admiration and fear in others."
If these apply to you in any way or form, feel free to quote me on this... And check back to this post every once in a while, because I'll be adding more of my quotes as they come along.
Now I've also generated some responses from people I know:
1.) I'm not gonna lie, those are some pretty depressing quotes! Life isn't THAT bad! See, the nice think about reality is that we can live it however we choose. It's true that our trials and tribulations are what helps mold us, and that we can't experience real joy without feeling pain first, but think about how great it is to have the opportunity to ... See more be able to experience all of this! Think about what a great blessing it is to be able to get up in the morning and look out your window to know that you've been given this wonderful opportunity to live life! To know that you can do whatever you set out to do! Live life to the fullest! Don't be weighed down and fooled by these negative thoughts and emotions! Allow yourself to enjoy life and see the beauty in it! Look for that light that keeps you on the right path and follow it! All it takes to get the most out of life is to just live it with the right attitude and follow your heart!
2.) It's never too late! Everyday is a whole new day to start fresh! Sure you may be enduring struggles, but take it as an opportunity to grow and appreciate the little things!
3.) I know that I can't understand exactly how you feel, I can feel your pain only so much because I personally haven't had to go through that... Everyone has problems of their own. When I walk through a crowd of people, I feel ... See more sorrow for each and every person because, if you look around and listen with an open heart, I swear you can feel the pain each and everyone of them go through, even though you have no clue what it may be. I know I'll never be able to understand completely what you're going through, but I can feel your pain, and you need to know that you're not alone in the world. You have people that care about you and want you to be happy
4.) When I say those things, it's not just me blowing smoke. I mean what I say, and I am darn proud of it!
5.) Broken high school dreams... Don't even get me started. I was to be an all-state football player, state champion and playing for college. I was already being looked at by colleges when I got hit hard and my back went out. You talk about broken dreams. But, who gives a damn? Make new dreams new goals and press forward. You have to look at life in one of two ways: Is the glass half empty or half full. Be positive and smile through life and it will be that much more sweeter.
You got something to say about this? You want me to blog about something else. Well, as always, you can drop me a line in the comments section.
