THOUGHTS OF A SIMPLETON

1, I often feel as though I am going too slow or the world is going too fast but, those two things are the same.

2, When you leave remnants of yourself in every place you go to, you realize you are the summation of your past.

3, If you slip because the floor won't allow you to stand... perhaps it's time to tell yourself it's not your fault.

4, tired eyes need to close. If your legs refuse to move you should not force them. Dictatorship worked well for no one.

5, there is no way out, just a way in into someplace new.

6, living life with precaution is like counting your breath, you can only do it for so long.

7, tears weigh less when they have fallen.

8, if time were ever to stay still, we too would take that for granted.

9, I wish to become what my mother prays for me to be. It is because I am unworthy of her prayer that I know there's nothing better I could wield myself into.

10, we will never see the same day twice. The Joy's of this world are hidden in corners we must search to find. And that...is all we've been asked to do.
