It’s Kinda Like That Verve Song, Bittersweet Symphony

—> so to continue on my ever growing laziness in the blog department, i’d just like to post something relating to those feelings that guide us through the difficult times, more times than not they are the only strand of hope that we hold dear. We hold them closer than a majority of the material objects we own, for these are special, they are yours and knowing that these dreams and aspirations are specific to you leads us to become confident and reach for a better tomorrow. you see our feelings can often hurt us. many of us in this life have already experienced terrible heartbreak, depression, sickness and disease, blows to our self esteem that cause us to crawl into a ball which at the time seems like the only safe place of refuge from the miserable reality we seem to face. now i’m not trying to be dr. phil or dr. drew, but what i can say is that although these feelings occur and almost all of our hope is gone, there is light at the end of the tunnel. there will always be a greener strand of grass on the otherside, there will always be that trophy with your name on it waiting at the end of the runway. For you see, it isn’t the things in our lives that break us down which determine who we are in our adversity, it’s what we do inspite of these circumstances. we are the type of people to, if i may quote Jay-Z, “tighten our belts before we ask for help”. we are strong and independent and even though sometimes the world feels impossible to carry upon our shoulders, we continue. you’re going to have those days where you feel as if wings grew upon your ankles overnight inviting you into the midnight sky, and you may have those days where those wings are replaced by anvils whos sole purpose is to bring you down. Break free from these and become who you are. our feelings guide us and our gut feelings are true to you remember? they are important whether you want to believe me or not, i know they are. each one of you reading this has a special purpose in life, we all do, we are all princes and princesses.

—> just from personal observation and the bizarre mood of this years christmas, i’d just like to comment on what seems like everyone’s economic situation and tribulations caused by a recession, cheer up. it’s christmas, the season of giving and honestly, enjoying time with those you love and haven’t seen in a long time. it is a season to remember your childhoods and accidents and that embarassing hicky you had in sophmore year of high school. christmas should bring back the feeling, that bittersweet feeling that you can fly, that we can fly, that you can fly alone, however we can fly together. alot of people in this world aren’t fortunate enough to experience these pleasures, many have experienced feelings of doubt and remorse throughout their entire lives. although completely out of my control, i do wish them the best of the christmas spirit, even if they respectively subscribe to another religion. let us all experience the joys of christmas, let those feelings arise and flow like wine of the country, we are special people, we aren’t just simple beings but we are complex and full of potential. so in the spirit of the season, merry christmas to all let it bring you the joy it has brought me.

—> So if you’re ever feeling down, if you are ever feeling as if life could end at the next turn of the page, look up, yes up, out that window and actually look at a tree. look at how it points upwards, reaching for the sky, it doesnt stop expanding and it certainly knows no limits. it knows it can grow tall and magnificent, and in this fashion i’d like to extend an invitation to you, my reader, to execute this same mindset. i know it’s silly to say, act like a tree, but really try it. modelling yourself after something so metaphorically grand might workout better than you’d imagined.

—> To conclude, our feelings. many come as pain and misery, many come as joyous occasions and delightful messages, but one thing we can say: they are special. so whether it’s love, envy, jealousy, fright, or anger, embrace them and grow from them. i know that it has certainly helped me through recent situations to examine my own thoughts, it also helps with the company of another. let these feelings you feel spread through those close to you, let them in, share with them and allow that connection to flourish, we are all here on this planet together you know, might as well make the best of it. i’m not saying here that we should all get to know our deepest and darkest desires because that would honestly be alittle too intrusive, but i’m saying know something special about friends, family, and the loves of your life, make them feel special and the feeling of that anvil attached to your ankle will disappear. now they can help you fly, just as you helped them to spread their wings. merry christmas to all of my friends family and loved ones, you have given me the weightlessness of a feather, and i’m proud to say, i’m honored. thanks for reading guys, more blogs coming real soon! may peace be with you.
