Music.

Music is the words we wish to say, the words we want to say, the words we do say. It lets us escape for a while, it takes us places we would rather be. Music makes us feel alive, it makes us feel content. It helps us remember the good times, it helps us remember the bad times. Music keeps us busy, it helps us get things accomplished, it helps us relax and do nothing. It keeps us company on rainy or lonely days, it brings people together for discussion. Music teaches us things we never knew. Either if its about our self, about the world, or about life. It reminds us of what we already know, to keep us in check with reality. It teaches us lessons of love, life, and despair. Music opens our eyes to the world we wish we lived in, or the world we are glad we don't live in. Music helps us battle the monsters in our heads and lives, it helps us remember its okay and it will get better. It can help us, inspire us, or empower us. It can deter our movements to just let go. Music is the shoulder you can cry on when you have no one else. Music can fill the silence, it can create silence in you mind. It can make us invisible, it can make us be known to the world. Music can take us to new places we've never been, it can take us to the familiar places we know and don't want to leave. Music is that sigh of relief and accomplishment. Music is that sigh of defeat. Music can make us feel, or it can make us numb and not feel. Music can get us out of bed, it can put us back to bed. It can make us feel the ones we miss and love around us, it can bring them back to us. Music can get our gears in our mind thinking, or it can put the gears to a halt, to think nothing. Music can touch us in ways we never knew possible. It could be the noise that goes in one ear and out the other. Music can pick us up from defeat, it can defend us in our battles. In the end, we will be gone..but the music will live on. It will tell the stories of those who have gone before us, and it will tell the stories of those who will come after us. After we have lived our life and uttered our last words, music will be there to keep the words flowing. People come and go through out our lifetime, but music, music never leaves.

I don't know about you, but I know I take the fact that I can hear for granted. Its a real shame, that not everyone can share in and hear this wonderful gift. Music is involved in our lives, we either embrace it, use it, or forget it,  but either way, I get to hear that. I can have music be there for me, not everyone can and that's a shame. I'm not saying that's absolutely horrible. For those who can't hear music, they probably have things that we cannot do or enjoy in.

Music is so many things all rolled into one...music is that piece of our life that will never leave us...even after we have lived our life and gone.

Peace.

Acceptance

Acceptance..Do you accept others? Do allow certain people to become part of your daily life, or do you just shrug them off? Its so easy to judge people. I do it, everyday. Maybe not my proudest moment, but I do it, and im pretty sure its safe to say you do to. Its easy to go around and not to accept or to accept people. Why do we do this, and how can we possibly open up to accept everyone and not to judge? I personally feel to do this we need to ask our self this: Do I accept myself?

I know for me, I do not accept myself. We all say to our self, maybe if I were thinner, or maybe if i had a better nose, or better personality, or different hair color. Were always saying what if about our self and doing things to try and be a better person for the people around us, and to make our self feel better. Really, when doing this its like the circle of life. Were doing things that we think will make us a better person just so others can accept us. Its never ending it seems, but I do not feel that its impossible for self acceptance. Its going to be a long struggle, but I don't think its impossible. Just like Adidas, "Impossible is nothing." <---- I like that just throwing that out there.

Self acceptance is hard, especially when living in the culture we live in. We're always told to do this, look this way, act this way, do this for that certain someone. We are constantly thinking I can't post this or do this, I look horrible next to these people, or I can't do that I will be looked down upon. When are we going to learn to do what we want to do, and accept our self. I know I struggle with self acceptance, and anyone who really knows me can agree. Ask my sister Carrie, she has said you look fat in those sweatpants, or pants, and ill never wear them again. Shes ruined many articles of clothing because she said I looked fat. Im not mad im just showing that one person said one thing to me..and that person is my sister (whos probably jealous jk Car :P) and I stop wearing a pair of pants that I bought that I Bought most likely because I Liked them and ill never wear them again. Ask car about the Pig shirt..i loved that shirt it, but she told me she loved when i wore that shirt cuz there was a little pig that sat on my flub role (aka love handle) and she said it made it stick out more so she loved when i wore it. Yeah..i dont even own that shrit anymore. (Car i dont mean to make you out to be a bitch you know i love you lol...u dont care anyway your just glad i gave you a shout out in my blog who am i kidding)

We need to stop thinking how we should be for others and think how we should be for OUR SELF! Its hard but it needs to be done. I feel the world will be a kinder more accepting place because of it. Try hard to get that i need to see all my ribs to be considered pretty, or I need to get that boob job for guys to like me, or I need to be ripped with muscles for women to even look my way, out of you head and start living and accepting yourself for who YOU WANT TO BE. I truly believe if you cant accept or be kind to yourself, then you cant accept and be kind to others.

I dont really know how i feel about this blog..i feel i wanted to say something more profound about this..but it came out kind of lack luster..im sorry..ill be surprised if you even made it down this far lol...okay..i think i need to reformulate my thought process for a better blog...sorry if i let you down lol...see there i go..worrying about what others feel and think...lol...oh lord...

Peace
