struggles

hidden within us all are secrets

secrets that can be revealed

secrets that cause trouble

and secrets that can stop it

but rumors are bigger than secrets

we thought secrets were hurtful,

rumors top it.

they're anywhere, everywhere

you can imagine

your "friends" talk crap

and start drama in your life

your "friends" start fights

and fill your mind with strife.

your homies become your enemies

and then your left alone

and eventually your words turn into fists

but after the fact you'll realize the fights

are never worth it

we can argue, we can fuss

we can say that we dont care

but in the end "hate" is just a word

and bruises aren't the most painful things

in the world.

secrets turn to rumors;

rumors turn to arguments

and then into fists

you thought the fight was won

when really....

that was the last battle punch

the war has just begun

Living your purpose

You know, this last year I had a strange revelation.

You do know what a revelation is right?

"The act of revealing or disclosing. Something revealed, especially a dramatic disclosure of something not previously known or realized."

Anyway, what I realized is that I am where I am supposed to be. After all this time wondering, it just came to me one night right out of the blue.

Honestly. No joking. Just doing some stargazing and enjoying the peace and quiet, when all of a sudden the light went on, and I just knew.

Knew what?

Knew that a higher power was at work, and that things are the way they are supposed to be.

Now I am not saying that things are perfect in my world, because perfection is truly overrated.

With perfection, there is nothing to strive for. Nothing to work towards and look forward to. Not a thing out of place.

Well, we all know that will never be the case, so why do we even
strive for perfection?

Most of us are too hard on ourselves. We try to be perfect, when in fact that is not possible. Well so what! Life is life, with all of its challenges, trials and tribulations.

You do recognize the word tribulation right?

"Great affliction, trial, or distress; suffering.
An experience that tests one's endurance, patience, or faith."

We certainly all have those from time to time. I truly believe that you are where you are, because you are who you are supposed to be.

Maybe the light hasn't gone on for you yet.
Maybe you still wonder why things are this way.
Maybe you want them to be different and wish they would be.

Perhaps it is time to realize your purpose in Life, and start living it! Here's hoping that your light goes on soon.
