Paradise

Curious, isn't it? How beautiful and magnificent a castle can be, a place of protection, elegance, and power. A castle stands for everything we would like to be known for. But...that’s not the part of this image I want you to focus in on, nor to write this blog on.

The part of this image I want you to focus on is the leaves, and the perspective. It seems that in life we focus and strive for this paradise, Even if a castle isn't your forte substitute in your "paradise". Back to what I was saying; look at the leaves, the perspective. It’s looking from a distance. You can clearly see that they are not in the paradise they strive upon.

By this metaphor I mean to say as people we tend to keep working, keep striving for the better. And that’s not a bad thing but look at the extent. It becomes a bad thing when all you do, goal after goal is keep finding things that are better and not acknowledging how far you have come, and the beauty and paradise you live in. Reflect upon where you have come from, what you have accomplished. Sit back and take a deep breath. As my government teacher asks every day, "What are you, and what can you do?"
We reply, "I am a miracle, and I can do anything."

You get one life. Only one to make it count for something, and you are free to choose what that something is. Just make sure its something you want, something sincere, and do everything in you power and your will to achieve it. You are a miracle, by the very nature of God (or by chance if thats your cup of jo)

Until later.

Four Letter Words Change the World

Four letter words, some of the smallest and taken for granted words in the English world. The whole world, for that matter, but they’re not four letter words in other languages. But ya, some of the most powerful words are the smallest and simplest words. They’re the most blunt and devastating as well. Let’s take a look at a one that is on my mind.

Love

    Love is the foundation of everything we know. It is something we are taught to do when we are little, and definitely something we take for granted. Dr. Sues said, "When you are in Love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams." It is so true, for the last nine months I have been in love with my best friend, my clone, my girlfriend. These last few months have been some of the hardest in my life, and love has guided me through them.

    Don't get me wrong, it’s nothing something simple, or cheesy, my love, and love in general. It is something that can't be taken for granted, and something you feel is different from anything else. Kd is the person I want to, and will spend the rest of my life with, and no one can tell me different.

    I think the reason as to why our relationship works is because we started out as best friends. Of course it started as an infatuation but it progressed into something, and digressed into the best friendship of my life, and then progressed in the love i now have.

     It is so far beyond a high school relationship. Sure we have disputes that we have to work out. If you look at love metaphorically, it’s like a day. In the morning, you wake up all dazed and confused, and have no idea what’s going on or is going to happen, yet you still go with it. You don't give up at the first wrong thing, you push through. Your day can be going great or just horrible but when you lay your head down at night, everything feels right and connected. You watch the sun set into fire, as it seems, and there are two things you know are true; there is a God, and there is love.

KD Cox, is my world, that will never change.

If I had to choose between loving you, and breathing, I would use my last breath to say I LOVE YOU.

If I was a flower growing wild and free

All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.

And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen

All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free

All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.

And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen

All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side

All I want is you, will you stay with me?

Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,

The rumble of your water would be my call.

If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow

Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side

All I want is you, will you stay with me?

Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod

If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.

If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug

And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side

All I want is you, will you stay with me?

Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.

If you were the love, I'd be the desire.

If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,

And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side

All I want is you, will you stay with me?

Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
