Something Tastes Different, Suddenly I'm Not So Young

^Die Alone-Ingrid Michaelson

I could follow you to the beginning just to relive the start
Maybe then we'd remember to slow down at all of our favourite parts

All I Wanted-(paramore)

Time goes way too fast, and it's like we want it to. We keep trying to grow up, get out, but all that leaves us with is regret.
We never try to hold on the things that once made us happy, we just think that we have to let go.
Who we were is part of who we are, and if we just keep trying to move on and let go of things, when we finally get to where we've wanted to be all this time, we'll be alone.
We won't be of any importance, we won't have a past that has made us who we are.
So just slow down. Maybe this sucks, this place and some of these people, but it's who you are.
I want to be able to tell my children that these were some of the best years of my life, even though right now I feel as though they've been some of the worst.
Nothing's ever as bad as you think.
There's this man in Brazil, a medicine man, and everyday thousands of people come to him to get healed from both physical and mental problems. He believes that the body is just a vessel for your spirit or soul, and that positive thinking is the most beneficial medicine in existence. If your spirit isn't broken, neither will your body be.
He says no negative thought should ever enter you mind.
I know this seems impossible, but I think if you committed yourself to making sure you're always thinking positive, it could be done.
I also just read Eat Pray Love and want to start meditating.
There are 2 types I want to try, one Balinese, the other Indian.
The Balinese one is all about positive thinking, and just to sit there and smile. Smile even in your liver.
Then the Indian one is more traditional where you have a mantra and just focus on that mantra and make your way through the different levels of consciousness.
I don't know how anyone can just sit there and smile, but it's worth a try.
Anyways, just thought I'd share, hopefully help.
Don't waste your energy and thoughts on trying to get out of here, it only gets harder when you leave.

lots of meditation,

Singing, I believe that lovers should be chained together,
Thrown into a fire with their songs and letters,
And left there to burn,
Left there to burn in their arrogance

But as for me I'm coming to my final failure,
I've killed myself with changes trying to make things better,
But still ended up becoming something other,
Than what I had planned to be

Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers,
And laid entwined together on a bed of clover,
And left there to sleep,
Left there to dream of their happiness.
