Kill Them With Love
"People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel."
I'm tired of referring to myself as heartless. Cold. Empty.
I'm tired.
Of the
Of this greedy, self-centered, narrow minded race we are breeding and feeding.
Of people that are so focused on finding a reason for being, instead of just being.
Of worrying about the next big thing, instead of remembering what already works.
Why do we complain, time and time again, instead of searching for the light in a situation?
Why must we convince others to accept us, why can't we just accept that we are NOT alike?
Why can't we accept one another for who we are, instead of trying to
Time and time again I've learned that the one thing I've wanted most, do not bring happiness when it arrives.
What happened to being genuine?
To laughing every moment, laughing so hard it hurt.
When did we become so serious? When did we become so sad?
Why did feeling become a weakness?
Coming from a person that was once extremely selfish and egocentric, I am tired of not feeling.
I want.
To focus on making a change. Not for the world, but for someone.
To be surrounded by overwhelming love and feeling.
To experience more of the "little things," myself.
To see small things that bring happiness.
Find a STRANGER and make a FRIEND.
To cry when I'm feeling sad.
Shake out the stress you carry on your shoulders. Let it flow from your body.
Like raking all the leaves into a big pile and jumping into them. Laying there, staring at the sky. Do you remember how they smelt? The sound they made as they crunched beneath you?
The way it felt to climb a tree and sit on the highest branch. The serenity of the wind in my face.
The look of the woman's who spilt the insides of her purse in the parking lot, and the five people that stopped in their tracks to help her restore it.
Allowing yourself to embrace someone in a hug. And fell the warmth of it.
When it was absolutely rude to walk by someone without greeting them.
To admit when you are wrong, and see things through others perspectives.
Remember when striving to make a change in someones life was priority.
Remember that the smallest bits of happiness are often those that go unacknowledged.
That YOU are responsible for the difference you can make in someone else's life.
Witness the moments that bring a smile across a strangers lips, and bask in them.
YOU can be the one shining star in the darkest night of someone's life, or you can be the reason they have no light.
You will find happiness in other peoples happiness.
Let go of your hate, of your sadness, of your stress. Just be here. Just be happy.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."
