Do you ever feel like there’s a bigger plan out there in the world for you and every minute that you spend alone with your thoughts are minutes that your never gonna get back. Some people play up to the loneliness and talk about how love is pointless and how loneliness is under-rated, they’re all entitled to their thoughts but they’re all wrong. So if I find myself 25 years of age, living alone and staring at a meal for one … well frankly, I’d rather be dead.

“I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm,
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm,
Yes many loved before us, I know that we are not new,
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you,
But let’s not talk of love or chains and things we can’t untie,
Your eyes are soft with sorrow,
Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye.”
Leonard Cohen – Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye

This life is what you make of it and I feel bad for the people that don’t have any goals, those who just get by day by day, never growing and learning along the way. It drives me insane seeing all of this anger and pain in the eyes of people who should be too young to feel what they’re feeling. Just relax and enjoy it while you can because before you know it, your time will be up and your final thoughts will be, “where did my life go?”
One thing I’ve learnt is that closing yourself up and locking your deepest thoughts and feelings in the back of your mind won’t benefit you or anybody else. I know because I was there, I only had myself to depend on and disappoint, I kept my feelings to myself and basically locked myself away from the world. Now, I’ve learnt that the greatest thing you can do is give all of yourself to someone without expecting anything back in return and you’ll become a richer person because of it. I’m not saying you’re not gonna get hurt along the way, but essentially what will come out of it will be the growth of you as a person and it will eventually lead you to the happiness that you always longed for.

Fireflies & Bedouins

“As These Beautiful Fireflies Pass Before My Dreaming Eyes
I Gaze Across This Field Of Green And Wonder What Might Have Been
If My Life Passed By The Way I Planned, I’d Never Have Conquered This Troubled Land
I Close My Eyes As I Feel A Tear Drop And Think To Myself “It’s Lonely At The Top.”
---
And I’ll Lead My Men Into Battle As The Bedouins Back Down
And The Fire Will Slowly Rise Upon This Humble Town
I’ll Close My Eyes For The Element Of Surprise
Yeah, I’ll Close My Eyes For The Element Of Surprise
---
So This War Will Be Won, The Damage Will Be Done
Our Land Is Ours Once More My Friend
But Let’s Not Be Blind Sighted, Let’s Not Pretend
That Everything Is Perfect, When Nothing Feels Right
We’re Lonely And We Know It, We Need Love To Hold Us Tonight
---
While Some Fathers Return Home To The Smile Of Their Children And Wives
I’ll Lay Alone On The Floor And Think ‘Whatever Happened To My Nine Lives’
I’ll Wake In The Morning With The Sun As My Only Friend
I’ll Set Out On My Day Ahead And Hope That This Is All Pretend
---
As The Beautiful Fireflies Fade And The Bedouins Make Their Way
This Scene Turns From A Blue Sky And It’s Turning Into Grey
The Sun Is Now Replaced By The Beating Of The Rain
As We Face Our Battle And Face A World Of Pain
---
I’ll Lead My Men Into Battle As The Bedouins Back Down
And The Fire Will Slowly Rise Upon This Humble Town
I’ll Close My Eyes For The Element Of Surprise
Yeah, I’ll Close My Eyes For The Element Of Surprise
---
So It Looks Like The End Is Nigh And There’s Nothing Left To Do
I Can Put My Weapons Down Again But I Remember I’m Fighting For You
A Spark Will Ignite In My Empty Soul And The Thought Of You Will Break My Fall
So I Won’t Back Down Until The Very End, I May Be Alone Now
But I Know My Love For You Will Transcend
---
Suddenly There Was Silence And The Scene Was Empty And Dark
It Seems That Enough Was Done And I Thank You For Igniting That Spark
I May Never See You Again But My Memory Of You Is All That Remains
No Matter How Much I Try To Move On, It Feels Like Your Pulling The Reigns
---
And Now All I See Are Fireflies, You And Me
And I’ll Still Close My Eyes For The Element Of Surprise
I’ll Still Close My Eyes For The Element Of Surprise
I’ll Close My Eyes And All I See Are You, Me And Fireflies”
