I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn’t get it. They may think they get it, but they don’t. This is the sign you’ve been looking for.
You were meant to read these words.

The Things I've Never Seen Or Heard
I honestly couldn't care less if you like the same bands or you've read the same books. Tell me one original thing, tell me one true, real thing that brings me to my fucking knees that I've never heard before and I'm yours.
I don't know if I could ever do that. Everything I am is made up of things that the people around me are.
But one true thing that you have heard before, no doubt? I love reading what you write, even though, a lot times, I break a little when I read it.
You give people a chance to hear what they wish the people they love[d] would or did say...and to see that someone else wants to say those things to someone.
Thank you, I hate to quote Jesse McCartney, but you're a beautiful soul.
Real is easier than original. Still, it's safer and easier to ignore what's inside and just follow. So what if everyone else is doing it? Only when we do as we are can we be real, unique and, possibly maybe, original.
everything you've said and everything i have thought has been said and thought by someone else in the world. I think it maybe be impossible to say something orignal and true.
will you forgive me for being unoriginal?
I will try for you and your sincere words to find something true.
I don't think any of us can ever be truly original - but isn't that the point? How many of us will ever get to know all of the original things that have already been? Chances are, it's been thought of. Chances are, you'll still knock someone over if you say it out loud.
Nobody's original. We can try and we can try, but the very act of trying pushes it away. We can be different, but there'll always be someone who's thining that exact thought, somewhere.
I don't think we need to be original ... I think it's the way we say things and do things ... 10 people can say the exact same thing to you, and only one of them might actually touch your heart, just by the way he/she brings it.
Btw, I just found your blog, and you've touched me ... I'll be visiting you more for sure.
What's there to say? I'm the inevitable product of a society that drowns all the pain that comes from injustice and squalor at the shopping mall. I try my best to not fall into it and I use my voice and thoughts as a rallying cry against the mass idiocy. Think of me as a reveille with that added punch of a pistol pointed straight at the back of your neck.
It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
relax. you're awake now. you have everything you need. carry the Universe in your pocket, and make a Conscious effort to Live. there is nothing to fear. look closer- find the others. find your Freedom, & We can do this. all of Us together. the energy comes through in waves. recieve it. follow where it goes- follow where it flows, and you will never again be lost. put down you're weapons and fight for Love (its free)
we have the power to make this life free and beautiful.

ReplyDeleteSadly this is'nt working, maybe someone else would understand...
ReplyDelete"but I don't want a fish."
I love you.
read 'the invitation' by oriah mountain dreamer:
ReplyDeleteIt doesn’t interest me
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me
where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know
if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like
the company you keep
in the empty moments.
So where are you? Lets meet in my favourite cafe.I'll watch you eat the cream cakes, I can't have milk in my tea. I'll be there at 3.
