Find your own words

When all is lost and all seems dark.

Find your own words that comes from the heart, and its light will shine through.

When your words come from the heart, it can only be true, so what is true can not possibly be wrong.

Let your heart flow and the words will come to you.

Free Will

Okay, I feel like some people try so hard to be something that is just not worth being, they dress below their potential, reveal way to much, follow the norm, and feel what they're told to feel, we are living in a world of drones, have a point of view, SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, voice your opinions, don't stand in the background, hoping for your moment, someone to care about what you think, make them care, or at least make them notice. we need options in life, the whole point of free will, to be free to think, feel and beleive what we want. To be supressed to think what people want us to think takes away the freedom that our country is lucky to possess..

Harmony Day and Returning to Child-like Innocence



Harmony Day is celebrated on the 21 March and coincides with the U.N.'s International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (see http://www.racismnoway.com.au/classroom/factsheets/17.html. It is a day where we celebrate cultural diversity and tolerance towards all races.

On Thursday, I was shopping at my local shopping centre when I noticed a display that the Prep kids of one of the local schools I used to work at had made. The kids were learning all about Harmony Day, and they had to write down and draw what the word "harmony" meant to them. The things that the children wrote really touched me:

Harmony is playing with my brother...

Harmony is sharing my toys...

Harmony is hugging my mum...

Harmony is being kind...


Many thoughts came into my mind as I was reading these words. Initially, I thought about the times when I was working there, and the joy I felt working with the children. Then I thought about the innocent and kind nature that most children possess. What if these children were able to harness this nature and take it with them for the rest of their lives?

Our society often jokes about how kids can be little terrors sometimes. But isn't it in reality the adults who become the monsters by shedding off the skin of child-like innocence? Aren't we the ones who are reminded by children the importance of getting along with one another? Why do we find it so hard to forgive one another and get along with each other, while children seem to be able to do this quite easily? What is this "secret" to child-like innocence that we seem to have forgotten long ago?

I am grateful to these children for teaching me through their words and their drawings how easy it really can be to live in harmony. I hope to always remember the lesson they have taught me.

Be careful with your words

Leave past pains behind

The past precedes the present, therefore yes we can indeed learn from our mistake. But leave all the negative behind you, such as pain, hurt and burdens.

All those don't matter.

All it does is make you depress, dark, and sullen.

If we live in the present without all those things, every new day can only be a pleasant day.

never say never

I have always wanted big things in life.. and i will never give up i will achieve them.. I have always felt inhibited by others, the negativity others possess can weigh you down, as they lack the imagination to think for themselves, when i was in high school i wanted to go to NIDA i wanted to perform, due to my own mistakes that became un achievable, then i fell into signwriting, so i decided that i want to own a business, one that has a new perspective to the market, offer something the others lack, combine all areas of my industry, and this idea has not changed, for over five years and every step i take no matter how slowly i am getting closer and closer, my boss's said i was dreaming, when i said i am going to be a millionare they laughed at me, made jokes about it.. and after stewing in this, i realised it is their own pessemism, that will keep them in a simple life with simple things,nothing truely exciting to leave their mark on the world.. i intend to be noticed.. i intend to leave a mark.. if you beleive in yourself you can do anything.. i believe that.. if i don't become a millionare i won't worry as long as i aheive my goal...

never hold me back

I am tired of being overlooked, tired of trying so hard and pushing myself, and not acheiveing what i wanted to acheive, and not being appreciated for the time i put in, i hate being at home i hate being useless i hate having to try so hard, i communicate with a brick wall and wonder why im not getting any answers, i get so angry i just want to be treated with respect, DON'T DEPRIVE ME OF MY DIGNITY, I am in no way stupid, i can be a twit sometimes but who can't, i tend to not think before i talk, which cause me to say some not so thought out comments, but i am not an idiot. I hate being judged by people that are in no posistion to judge me, people who stopped caring about where their life takes them, they don't try to improve themselves in any way, and float along in life.. who are you to judge, i work hard, now that i can't work temporarily, i work hard at being mom, and wanting to go back to work i will be working hard to be employable improving my qualifications.. i never stop doing.. i am a good person, that deserves the respect of the people around me. i hate being so tired, and i hate that i have to it on my own. but i still do it, i get up everyday and i keep going, i don't give up, perseverance is the only thing i can hold onto, if i keep going something has got to get better..
but never shoot me down hold me back, there is something big waiting for me.. and i will get there with or without you..
