straight not giving'a

so close your eyes & let your heart listen.


LISTEN PEOPLE, and listen real well. there's a reason God gave us all minds, a very good reason indeed, and that is to USE IT. too many times have i seen people do & say things for none other than to satisfy a peer, or a loved one.
believe me, i am no one to be casting stones, i do believe in the fact that no one can truly be ORIGINAL, it's clear that somewhere along the way you were influenced by someone or something, that maybe led you to make the choices you have made.

HOWEVER --
i do NOT think it's okay to make decisions in order to please people, to claim a moral because you think it will make you "cool", or because it's something your friends, peers, or family say is right.

i believe in standing up for what you believe to be right, no matter how ridiculous or naive it may be perceived by anyone else. you are your own person. stake your moral claims because it is truly what your heart's passion is towards.

I HAVE BEEN ACCUSED --
of being vegetarian because it is a fad. because "everyone else is doing it". because my friend is vegan.
all i can say to those people is that not consuming meat is a passion to me. meat utterly and completely FUCKING disgusts me, the fact that a once living, breathing animal, who once felt emotion; being happy and free out in the pastures, sad when they are abdicated from their families, pain when they are skinned and stabbed alive; IS IN MY STOMACH, does not please me, it does not please me in the least bit. in fact, it repulses me. I AM NOT PERFECT, i know that i still consume dairy, i use animal by-products. but the fact of the matter is, it takes gradual steps in becoming 100% animal/animal by-product free. bottom line: in these six months of not consuming meat, i have felt better than i ever have. and i plan to continue down the road to veganism, : )

of being bisexual because, once again, it is a fad. because "guys think it's hot", because GaGa is bisexual.
to them i must say, truly, FUCK YOU. my sexuality simply is what it is. just as much as i enjoy a males company, i enjoy a females company as well. i first started being attracted to a female in, oooh about kindergarten. as equally as i pondered how a kiss would be with the cute little boy who stood next to me in the lunch line, i wondered what it would feel like to give the girl i'd play dress-up with a kiss as well. being bisexual isn't being confused, in fact, i see it as opening your options. if anyone out there is bisexual and afraid to say it, i'm completely with you, but my one word of advice is: never lie to yourself. <3

all in all, one can go on and on about their morals, and why they believe in what they believe in. my whole point of these statements is to show you that for everything you feel is right, you should be able to explain in great detail WHY it is you feel that way, or why it is you agree with that. not for ANYONE else's sake, but for yourself.

first things first, i haven't blogged in a cool while and that is just UNacceptable; therefore, i apologize. sorry blogger, sorry. today's let's take a deep look into this continuous hate affair, if you will, i seem to be hooked on. that would be, yet again, the interior motives of the people around me. i swear to you it fucking amazes the shit outta me to just take a step back for a second and say "what the fuck is up with THIS shit?" and, thus, the analysis begins. senior year of highschool rolls around and it's like the fucking real world is turning it's ugly face in my direction. but need not worry blogger! i have this theory, about people, about myself, about motives. honestly, i've said this once and i'll say it again. the ONLY WAY to get yourself in to the top in this world is to knock someone out of that precious precious spot. and that's gonna be me. i'm done being a pushover, i'm done being nice, this time, it's all about ...

inside & out.

ultimately, everything and everyone you encounter in your lifespan will in some way let you down, just like, try as you might, you will eventually let everyone/thing you meet in your life down as well. however, i have some reassurment for you kiddos! there IS someone you can possibly never let down. who? sarrawr, tell me who!? well, my dear comarade, that person is yourself. cheesy as this might sound, the road to perpetual bliss starts with numero uno, that is, yourself. people and places, smiles, frowns, no faces; they don’t matter. as long as you can achieve that, if you will, inner peace, then the rest will come naturally. allow me to reprimand what society tends to tell us; that our relationships with the people around us will climactically effect our peace of mind, our happiness. NO NO NO, this is bullshit, don’t ever listen to that! be at peace with who you are, be satisified with what it is you are doing, the choices you are making, and you will be just the most chipper person ...

love--as defined by sarrawr;;

how do you explain the unexplainable? love isn't about that "floating on air', constant repitition of those lovey-dovey phrases we are all familiar with. that is what we would classify as infatuation. and sorry everyone, but infatuation is NOT love. opinions can go on endlessly on perceptions of love, but I will give you mine, hoping you'll see things in a different perspective. love is caring about someone as if they're a part of you. an organ in your body that can evoke happiness, sadness, anger, jealousy, etc. love is thinking of your other half before you can even fathom of thinking of yourself. love comes in experiences, and together you learn from them, and grow, converging to form one soul, some sort of bond way past camaraderie that will make you, or break you. and taking that risk, putting utter and complete trust in someone, having irrevokable confidence in that person, knowing that at chance your heart could be crushed and broken; leaving you feeling as ...
