I always seem to find myself turning the last page and feeling a little as if I have lost a friend. But most of all, I find myself already missing the escapism that the book provided for me. ‘The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs.’ The unreal is more powerful than the real. Nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. It is only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. As everyone knows.. stone crumbles, wood rots, people.. well, they die. Things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.. if you can change the way people think, the way they see themselves or the way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create. Personally, I found that when I assemble my own little space and just close the door to it, my creativity becomes immeasurable.

Good music/real musicians are hard to come across these days..It’s extremely sad to see that ‘artists’ like Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, The Black Eyed Peas, etc. are taking over the music industry with their unoriginal, overplayed, computer-made shit.

..just wanted to get that off my chest. Have a nice day :]

Recently, I have witnessed something so terrible, I am still at a loss for words. I am not at liberty to say what has happened, but I feel I can at least raise a little more awareness about this issue: self-mutilation.

I wanted to share one of my all time favorite songs by Between The Trees called 'The Way She Feels'. 
No song has ever brought me to tears like this does. I have never heard a song so deep, so beautiful, so..powerful in my life--take 3 minutes and 31 seconds out of your busy lives and listen to it (the lyrics are obviously posted below) :]

She's upset 
Bad day 
Heads for the dresser drawer to 
Drive her pain away 
Nothing good can come of this. 
She opens it theres nothing there 
Its only left over tears 
Mom and dad had no right she screams 
The anger runs down both of her cheeks. 

Then she closed her eyes 
And found relief in a knife 
The blood flows as she cries 

All alone the way she feels 
Left alone to deal with all the pain-drenched sorrow relief 
Bite the lip just forget the bleeding 

Then she closed her eyes 
And found relief in a knife 
The blood flows as she cries [x2] 

Curled up she's on the floor 
Relief left her she had hoped for something more 
From it (hoped for something more) 
From it 
He leans down to comfort her 
She is weeping and He 
Wraps His arms around 
And around and around and... 
The deeper you cut 
The deeper I hurt 
The deeper you cut 
It only gets worse [x2] 
Gets worse. 


Now she's slowly opening... [x2] 
New eyes... 

She opened her eyes 
And found relief in His life 
And put down her knives. 

She opened her life 
And found relief through His eyes 
And put down 
She put down her life.
