Skies of blue...and clouds.

That's right ladies & gents......................clouds. The beauty of ever-changing, constantly moving, free-roaming...clouds.

Now that I've sobered up, I can focus. Thank you, Dasani Water.

Now, close your eyes......relax......
INHALE...
and exhale...smell that? That, smell of stagnant and redundant nothingness that fills a room?

The world we live in. Correction, the world that I live in.

I live in a world where resilience is frowned upon.
I live in a world where integrity means nothing.
...where its better to spend, than it is to invest.
In a world where it's not what you can bring to the table, it's what you have to offer NOW.

Seriously though...how bold do you have to be to allow someone to pour out themselves to you, only for you to shit on 'em and conjure up a lame excuse as to why they did it? I guess we can add 'justifying bullshit' to that list as well.

I live in a world where sacrifice isn't enough.
I live in a world where free-thinkers are on the endangered species list.
I live in a world where it's ok to fake it until you make it...
I live in a world where the "Easy" button is easily accessible...
...and hard-work is uncommon an unappreciated.
I live in a world where foolish pride reigns!!!
Where it's ok to look down on someone in the same boat.
Where helping someone else get to where they wanna go is...pretty much outta the picture.
I live in a world where social status & acceptance is more important than your health.
I live in a world dictated by things and people we can't even touch.
Following the trend is the norm.
Being yourself is unpopular.
And having an educated opinion gets no airplay...in the grand scheme.
Personal gain trumps all...
And being genuine, albeit a gift, is a cursed downfall...



What a wonderful world.
Don't lose hope in it.
Peace.

  1. Yes, that's the world we live in but let's look to the optimistic part. Where, if you exhibit the positive side its all the more appreciated when you give your gift to someone who has the eye to see what it is. it takes a discerning eye to appreciate an abstract masterpiece that looks like unorganized confusion to everyone else. :o)
