The greatest thing a person can learn in their lives is about who they are. "Know thyself" - http://thyselfknow.com/ - is the sticking point of deep knowledge, for to know one's self is to come to know nature, the human, and the divine all rolled up together. In this poem, written in my Senior year in High School in 1973, I am trying to tell my family and friends what they didn't seem to know - that I am not one of them, but I am still amazing for all of that.All Rights Reserved

Ask yourself three basic questions: 1. Do you think that you are an important part of your family? 2. Is there a calm, accepting and happy home atmosphere? 3. Do you feel the freedom to express yourself? If you find yourself staring blankly at the screen, scared that the answers will leave you numb, dive in, this book has been written exactly for you. * A compilation of short stories I write randomly out of shared experiences. * A guide to conquering teenagehood in a world of ever-so-scrutinizing adults. * Pulled out from Our Alter Ego, my personal blog.

Dear Emmett by JasmineTheDreamer

When most people look back on their lives, they see that one defining event. The moment that changes everything. And my moment was him.

Sick & Twisted by marissakathryn_

"Be who you want to be; never let anyone try to tell you who you are, because they can't. Only you can."

Devotion (boyxboy) by Bcontesa618

Not many people know who they are meant to be with. I am not one of those people. I knew the exact moment when I realized who my future was. The only problem is that he does not know so instead I give him my devotion secretly...

It's Complicated by hazy_eyes

He just looks perfect, but I can't show it. It'll freak him out, actually everyone that knows me. Even if he is one, he doesn't deserve me, no one does.

The Augury by Ayandak10

The girl I grew up to know is not who I am today, who I am today is not who I see or envision to be in future, I look at myself now and see that I am the now the present. In truth, apparent awakening cannot occur in anyone's presence but it can only occur in anyone's absence. I couldn't have "experience" what I'm truly called for from "afar" because there is no such thing as a distance for Oneness. There is no one "over here" to gain knowledge of something "over there." My life isn't about finding myself, it's about discovering what I'm created you to be. i'm THE PAST ...THE FUTURE ...THE PRESENT ...THE AWAKEN AUGURY
