I'll be frank, I have given up on the good nature of human beings, the power love has, and the belief that doing good results in good things. if I were to tell you how much I hate it when I hear love and time heals all wounds , you wouldnt believe me. Try being alone, invisible. Try being criticized and disliked because you are different. Try having to fulfill expectations that only God himself can adhere to. Try having love not mean anything to you because people lack the ablity to understand you and love you for who you are. Oh, this is not to say that success is not an option and that there are other things that can lessen the pain associated with life. It is definately not to say all hope is lost, but realizing and understanding that life is definately easy and never will be is what makes people stronger. Knowing what you want, and that is peace, blissful serenity, even if alone can be achieved if you put aside all that is not necessary, even LOVE , you can attain all you desire. Believe me when I say this , but I know what I want and I'll get it , no matter how hard it is, and no matter how many times i'll stumble. The greatest lesson I have learned is that people and even material things cannot and willnot make you happy, but achieving what you want and holding on to that dream is what makes a person happy and complete.
