Math Class...
I sit in my math class staring out the dirty window and find my self wondering whose job it is to clean. It's funny to think that I'm thinking about a specific person that I don't even know, I've never met and chances are, never will meet. I wonder, as cars pass by in a blur, if that person has ever thought of me. Have they ever looked throught that very same window into this classroom, this very desk and thought to themselves, 'I wonder who sits there, in that seat.' Probably not. But think for just a moment if they had. There's someone out there who I've never met thinking specifically about me, and I specifically about them.... I wonder who they see me as...

Little Thoughts...
living is dying and loving is hating and there is no black and white...... when you realize those things life seems just a little bit easier to take...
if at the end of the day i can look back and smile then i know it hasnt been wasted... if my hands can be the ones that help instead of hinder i know the world and I are a little better for it....

First Time
Hmmm... so it's my first time... That's right, I'm new to blogging, a blogging virgin! Well, here goes... these are my thoughts...
Love is a tricky thing.
Just when you think you know what it is, it shifts. The definition never ceases to change and it is different for each person. Therefore I can only speak of it from what I know, what it means to me.
Love is everything, your whole life when you have it, and nothing when you don’t. Although people often claim to long for it, to seek it with all their soul and being I think it is more the chase, the lust and the longing for companionship that most are really after.
Why? Because real love, the kind of love that encompasses your entire life, is hard as hell. Real love is a struggle every single second of every single day. It is not happy all of the time, nor is it simple. Love is full of obstacles and constant compromise. It is caring for someone else more than oneself and remembering that sometimes what you want is not always what’s best for the relationship. Love is being wrong sometimes and listening when you don't want to. It is sharing yourself with someone else, the real you, not the face you put on for everyone else. Love is finding solace in eachother's arms and support in eachother's words. It is seeing all their flaws and only loving them more because of them.
And love is confusing. Oh, is it confusing. One day it seems as though life is bliss, that nothing can go wrong, that your life together will be beautiful, a storybook with a happy ending. But, the very next it can seem impossibly hopeless, a road hardly worth trying to travel.
The thing about it is though is that we all need it, whether or not we realize or would like to admit it. Our friends love us, as do our families and we love them in return. That is something else that we need, someone to love, someone to care about more than oneself.
That’s what love is. It’s the willingness to put your needs second to someone elses, to make a sacrifice for a friend, to put in the time and be willing to get nothing back. It's the biggest and most rewarding risk of all.
