Ramblings

Sometimes, you hurt.
Sometimes, you feel like you can't escape.
Sometimes, you want nothing more than someone to hold you and keep you safe from your demons, protect you from your fears, tell you that everything's gonna be alright.
It's those times that you know that, as much as it hurts, as big as all the problems feel, as afraid as you are, you have to go it alone.
For the sake of the other person.
For the sake of yourself.

A man I know once told me that he found life to be dull, rote, meaningless. There was nothing for him in it. Every day was just another day. Nothing he did would ever make a difference. We were all going to die. What fulfillment is there?
That reminds me of why I have faith in God.
He gives me a purpose. Without him, I would be nothing.
All I would be is another human on the hopeless road to death, trying to fill up his life with meaningless pleasures, trying to hide from the truth that nothing I do will ever matter.

"Don't take up music unless you'd rather die than not do so." -- Nadia Boulanger.

Nothing compares to the joy of that moment when you feel hopeless, depressed, upset, and someone close to you says, does, something that shows you that you're not alone, and that someone really, truly loves you, and is willing to show that love, rather than push you away.

"Fear is only in our minds, taking over all the time." -- "Sweet Sacrifice", Evanescence

The only way to conquer fear is to decide of your own will to face it.
No one else can conquer it for you.
No one else can force you to conquer it.
You must choose that path yourself.

When your heart speaks, you better listen, even if it tells you something you don't want to hear.
There. I said it. Now I'm officially a hypocrite.

Sometimes, it takes a stronger man to allow himself to cry than to push emotions away and hide them within the recesses of his soul.

Meddle not it what you do not understand.

She has seen my pain, when I was too hurt to cry, when I was frustrated, angry, upset, cold. As my fingers bent into her keys, she released a cry in a tongue that can be understood by all.

If I am stupid for believing what I believe, let me be stupid. It's no skin off your back.

A good friend of mine once said that we'll only regret chances we didn't take.
