It's simple, wrap your fate with your dreams.
Everything you ever wanted is right in front of you. Nothing is free in life. You must work for what you want and grasp it when its presented to you. It's easy to steal and take what isn't yours, but in the end, you end up stealing from yourself.
No one ever said working for what you want is going to be easy. On your journey, many temptations are offered, distractions are put up, and many people will steal what isn't theirs. It happens everyday, people steal innocence, money, credit, love, and time. Demand, preference, and necessity are so powerful, people forget how much they can push people beyond their limits. It is also common, we cannot recognize when someone steals from us, until what we had is gone. But stealing is not the method, its working for what you deserve that will give you the bigger payoff.
It's rare to acknowledge someone stealing until you see it happen to someone else or someone sees it happen to you. Doesn't sound familiar? It's because it's disguised. "Why are you still with them? You can find so much better." "Why are you still working there?" Are just a few I thought up. You cannot directly recognize anything stolen in these questions, but if you look closer, some one recognized time, effort, and sentiment are stolen from you in the above scenarios. They believe you deserve better and you can be much better off with a different alternative. But if these were stealing from you, how can they be stealing from themselves?
It's always easier to steal what you want, rather than work for what you deserve. People end up stealing from themselves when they decide to steal what they did not work for. Look at a cruddy job, or a respectable partner you are settling for. They both have something in common, they invest time and effort into you... At the same time you deprive yourself of time and effort you
can spend elsewhere, doing what you want. It's lose-lose situation to SETTLE or STEAL. DON'T DO IT! Whatever you want, do what you need to do, work for it, and bask in the full satisifaction of making your dreams, your fate.
Ahhh, another day, another night. Looking out the window, the sky is crimson red, no moon in sight, with a dark overcast. I love nights like this. It's cold, but not freezing, wrapping myself in my blanket and gazing out the window, letting my thoughts run wild, grooving to a slow jam. Theres something about the dark red sky that makes me appreciate the little things.
Crimson red skies don't happen much, so every time they appear, I always take time to admire it. It's feels like running into a good friend you haven't seen in a long time, and when you do see them, it's like you never skipped a step, where nothing has to be said, but just the time spent together makes the experience amazing.
The sun will rise in a few hours and this gorgeous crimson sky will disappear soon. Like all things, everything with a beginning has an ending. People say i'm crazy for staying up every night, not sleeping, and studying. But I enjoy it. I look around outside, it's dark, quiet, simple, and lonely and lifeless. However, it's the only time I feel alive with life because everything and everyone is shrouded in darkness and sleeping. I lay low in my chair, with my lamp on and computer monitor to illuminate everything I need to see. I get to see whats in front of me, with no distractions. I feel alive with life, pumping out creativity and productivity. It a great feeling. As selfish as it is, it feels even better to know I am the only one up around here, pure solitude.
I just had my first final today. I studied hard for it and the Professor was generous enough to offer an extra credit essay. After this final, theres still four more to go. Even though I should be studying, I need some time to unwind. So here I am, spending my time with you, my faithful readers, giving you a dose of Mike-isms, a GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING. I am eagerly waiting for finals to be over with. I miss hanging out with so many of you and there are so many people I haven't had the chance to hang out with and want to. I feel selfish just thinking about all the fun we can have. =P
Anywonkers, its creeping up to 4:30, time to get working! Stay warm kiddies, until next time.
