A Book of Thoughts and Poems

"The tragedy of life is not death... but what we let die inside of us while we live."
~Norman Cousins

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."
~Shakespeare

This is exactly what the title says - random thoughts and poems that I've written down at random. These will come at random times all with different meanings. Love, loss, friendship, heartbreak, anger, joy, sadness - everything. Everything in here are my feelings - probably the scariest thing you can put up for millions of people to see.

I'm not sure how long this book will last but I hope for a while. I enjoy being able to let these things out. I enjoy putting up things I've gone through and think about. And I enjoy posting random things I've watched or read about. I do know one thing about this book though. And that is how I'm going to end it.

At the very end of this book I will put in a series of entries labeled Part 1, 2, 3, etc. These entries will have been part of a very long document that I've been writing for 3 years. It's probably the most important yet tormenting thing to me. And this is how I'm going to use it. I'm going to post it and let go of everything. My thoughts, feelings, fears, and insecurities. This is my burden and this is how I'm getting rid of it.

And if anyone I know ever reads this - there's a good chance you're in here in some way, shape, or form. You may be able to tell where you come in. Or you may not. Either way, I want you to know that I don't blame you for anything. You were just another part of my life that I had to choose. I had to choose whether to except you into my life or step over you, overcome the obstacle you were in my life. And I'm sure you did the same with me and plenty of others.

Enjoy this - I hope it helps you. Somehow.
