~******breathe*****~

i wrote this, i just love to express myself on here!   There's a good chance that most people in this busy world never stop to think about the great things in their lives or stop to analyze themselves, let alone take a deep breath and relax. Here's your chance...If your reading this, try to slow down and absorb every word for exactly what it's worth...............................................................*breathe*............Life is full of wonders, fascinations, beauties, and greatnessIt is however, also filled with hatred, guilt, regret, pain, and other downfalls. Focus on the good...the bad may come far too often, but without those occurances where you feel you can fall no further, you would not appreciate the greatest pleasures the world and life offers you. Love, think deeply about what it means to you.....Some love with their whole hearts and devote every waking minute to a person who they cannot live without. Every breath, every thought, just everything goes toward this other person, completely devoted through love. Others, are too scared to sacrifice their whole hearts, or even a small portion, in fear of never healing or ever being able to trust and love again. Why do people feel so differently? Why is it easy for some, yet hard for others? Does it deal with the science and nature of human beings, or is it caused by the people around us?Beleive what you will, but everyone is capable of giving and receiving love. Whether it be for a significant other, family, or your closest friends. However it will all be in different amounts, and hopefully one day, you will meet that special someone who was able to capture your heart, but never hurt it.Pure, how do we interepret a pure soul? A generally good person who isn't the slightest bit self centered and gives everything to others? Is that even possible? Everyday, we see a person less privileged than us...what do you think when you see that person? What do you feel? Do you stop to think, "Wow I'm Glad I'm Not That Person?" Or do you pity that person and wish good upon them? A genuinly good person would help, a fairly good person would smile, but walk away, others, just walk away or give a disgusted look, but does this make you a bad person...or just normal like 99% of the worlds population would do? Then there's the other side...the people who are more privileged than us, perhaps rich, popular, physically beautiful, etc...then what crosses through your mind? "I wish I had more money, I wish I had that physique, why does that person get everything?" JEALOUSY--perhaps the populations worst enemy. Did you ever stop to think maybe their lives aren't that great...maybe they envy you as you sit there with your group of friends, having pizza, laughing, comfortable in your jeans and t-shirt, maybe these "upper-class" people wish to be normal and not be the object of appeal. Some people wear this mask to cover up the pain and suffering, to hide the feelings and long just to be another...envy-yet another enemy of the population.I'm sure you are wondering what the point of this is...but if you read through this slowly and thought about every word or phrase, you most likely reflected on a memory of each event... Did you envision this memory from a different point of view than when it actually happened? Did you become happy when you remembered a person you loved or who loved you? Did you realize maybe your a but overly critical of others? Are you willing to give someone who is different than you a chance at happiness...a chance at life?Keep in mind...not everything is what it seems, life isn't as bad as it seems, people aren't always what they pretend to be, and second chances are real...Someone, perhaps multiple someones in the world love you, there will always be someone better-off than you and there will always be someone worse-off than you. No one is perfect....and remember to stop and take a deep breath once in a while!
