Already There ft. Big Sean / John West

“I ain’t got a dollar, but I’m feeling like a millionaire
you know that we already there
I ain’t got the answers, but I guess I never really cared
you know that we already there”

I don’t think that people realize that even the smallest gestures, such as giving a compliment, can create a huge impact. Acknowledging someone for characteristics about them that you admire and respect can put them in a good mood, which can lead them to do the same for another person. And with a chain reaction like this, it might just make living in this world a better place to surround yourself in.

I surprisingly like this picture of myself.

Human nature

I can’t strain this enough but I will always abide to my knowledge that humans are selfish beings. I’m not saying it as a bad thing nor are my intentions to offend anyone, but from personal experiences and thorough thinking, it only seems fair to consider each one of us as being somewhat selfish in different aspects. Of course, we all have the choice to perform selfless acts and for the most part we do, but unknowingly we do so for selfish reasons such as for self-pride and to make ourselves feel good about what we did.

We, as humans, grow up learning so little about what the world has to offer and were repeatedly told what to do and how to act. And as we continue to grow, we eventually learn a more in-depth meaning about what we had already known about man and life. It is in our nature as living beings to do what is necessary to survive regardless of many factors including other people, possible outcomes, and things of that sort. And as bad as that sounds, we’ve all done it in some form or another. Nothing to be ashamed about. We’re humans, that’s what we do.

"It is at our core to be selfless, but we are taught to be selfish to survive."

— Adrian Wise, my political science teacher.

I don’t enjoy watching the news at all. In fact, I won’t even attempt to watch it voluntarily, accidentally, incidentally, or by force. I understand that the news showcases awareness to its viewers, but it scares me. Reason? Watching the news reminds me that there is always something terrible happening somewhere in this world. It reminds me that even though there is a lot of good out there, there is also a lot of bad that creates a bigger impact.

My heart is a cold one, I’ll tell you that.

Echoes Of Silence (by Armando Andres)

I’m finding it a little bit difficult coping with what I’m feeling right now. Actually not so much difficult as it is complicating. There’s a part of me that hopes that we’ll end up being together once again and another part that still questions the intentions of our friendship. I know that now we’re back on good terms and have gotten a lot closer, but why do I feel as if there’s something more? As if there’s still plenty to figure out and solve.

It’s stressing me out how many thoughts are threading from just one idea. And it’s even more stressful not knowing your position and thoughts concerning this or if it even crosses your mind at all. Is it worth bringing it upon you or should I just play it as it goes? Oh, the thoughts that ponder in my head.

I’ve had three years of memories written and posted publicly on this blog. It’s amazing how things have changed within that time span; experiences, thoughts, perspectives, and just life in general.

Fuck you Tumblr.
