Update, Advice, and a quote

  I've noticed that I haven't wrote any articles or poems in a while.  My sincerest apologies!  I've been enjoying the journey of life.  I used to only write when I was deppressed so I've decided to write when I'm okay as well.  Or is it true, that pain breeds beauty?  Why must we suffer to enjoy peace?  I geuss taking things for granted is in our human nature.  We try our best to hold fast to our virtues and principles, yet there are still laws in place in the universe that keep us in line.

    I've been in a beautiful relationship with a beautiful girl for a little over seven months now.  And although we have to work at it daily, it is definitely worth it.  Some of the young men out there might suffer in the relations department.  Trust me.  I know.  My advise is for your happiness as well as those around you.  Be yourself.  The person you are inside is beautiful weather you believe it or not.  You don't have to be "cool", "popular", or "good looking".  Just be yourself.  A tree can't be a bird because it can't fly.  But, a bird can't be a tree because it would die.  When you understand this you will find peace in yourself.  

    I've been thinking.  "Why do I write poems?  No one really reads them.  So why do it?"  I think I've found my answer.  I do it because I love doing it.  I do it for me.  It is what I will leave behind for the world to enjoy.  It is my mark.  It is my passion.
