No Signal

I look at the world we live in today, and I wonder how did we get to this. We have a thousand social sites to keep us connected, but somehow the connection is lost.  They were made to keep us in tune with each other, but they became the reason of the connection lost.

We live now behind the screens but our own signal is lost, we forgot the meaning of human connection. Now you’re best friends are a laptop, a BlackBerry, and for sure the Wi-Fi.

It’s like we no longer have connection with the outside world, you even forget how to talk and have a proper conversation with someone face-to-face. Turning to a poker face with no emotion, your voice tone means nothing.

You still wonder where did the emotions go, well I’ll tell you dear, they simply disappeared behind the tech screens. Your emotions turned into meaningless lil- emoticones that you don’t do, you just choose a face and click send, but it’s not the emotion that your face truly shows

So get up and forget the tech and remember your human self, get out and leave your cell home. There is a whole life out there beyond that screen. 

Btw I never meant that tech is bad, or that it’s the real reason behind the lost emotion, but what I mean is people shouldn’t live through their screens. They should go out and see the streets, stop caving in behind someone they’re not.

I’ve known a lot of people with amazing personalities that are too scared to face the real world, but they’re like stars behind a key bored and a screen. They should learn how to face the world and not be scared to be themselves. It’s okay to be shy – blushing from nothing – but what’s not okay is hiding behind a screen, so that people won’t see who you are.

So would you try this for a day, switch off your cell – whether it’s a BlackBerry , iPhone ,  mobile – shut down your laptop , and just go out and meet some people you haven’t been in touch with for a while , or meet a group of friends , go watch a live play or a book reading . If you like sports set a game with some friends, or take a jog around your block, get that bike out of storage and take it for a ride.

Live Your Life Out Side The Box, And See What’s Beyond That Screen

Breaking through

Have ever felt like you’re stuck between the walls of your mind, that you’re a prisoner of yourself. You’ve built walls around you thinking they will keep you safe, but those walls were built from bricks of memories. So every time you look around you’re hurt cuz they remind you where you’ve been, and who you lost.

You’re just hurting yourself with pain of yesterday, you think that’s your safe, but you’re wrong, cuz your breaking you own heart, drowning in tears of the past.

Tonight is the time to break through those walls , it’s time for you to spread your wings and fly , see the world of colors , and get out of this dark , cold prison your stuck in. it’s not too late to switch on the lights again , and take your life back in your hands again .

Today  will be the day you come back to life again, I never said it would be easy, nor that life is easy and “a pinky pink “place to live in. but you gotta use the colors of your soul and paint your world , draw a smile on your lips , learn how to laugh . Live for yourself and not anyone else, cuz you’re the writer, director and main character. So it’s in your hand to write a drama, a comedy, or even a sweet fairytale.  

People keep on forgetting that the road of life is theirs to paint, not for someone else to paint it for you. They put others as the center of the story and when they fade their story fails. I don’t mean that you gotta walk alone , it’s just that people who walk with you , should know they’re visitors in your life . That they are there to admire your painting not to judge you on it.

Break through the shell of darkness and face the world; be fearless, cuz if you had the strength to stay all these years locked up alone, then you have the strength to walk to the top of this world on your own.

Trust

have you ever wondered why the presence of a certain person around just gives you comfort like you’re safe now , and nothing can happen to you . Its cuz you trust them, you have faith in them, that just by them showing up, you just know deep inside that even if anything went wrong, they are there, and they can fix it.

It’s always said that the hardest thing to do in life is to trust someone with your life , but I disagree , it’s not that hard , you just to find a person who’s worth that trust , someone that you have faith in .

Mostly the person you begin to trust is someone who walked in and stayed when everyone chose to leave. Someone who had faith in you, when everyone said you’re a disappointment. Someone that got you to believe in yourself again.
                                                  

I know I’ll get asked well is the fact that they walked in and helped you out, a reason enough to have complete trust in them. The answer is simple, it “No “. This is just a key point, cuz if they stuck around when they didn’t have to, and then they would stick around when you need them too. those who you should trust have to be the ones that know you the most , and when I say know you , I mean the real you , that hidden behind the masks and scars . The you that’s rarely seen but is hiding there deep inside you.  They are the ones that know how to calm you down when you’re in stress, and can understand you without speaking. They’re the ones that feel you heart, and know that pain of your scars.

I personally believe that trust is the key to any relation, it’s not love. Simply cuz you love the people you trust, but you don’t always trust the people you love.  Cuz with trust comes faith, safety and comfort.

Find someone worth your trust , and when you do find them hold on to them , cuz they’re the wall you can lean on, the shoulders you cry on , the hand that picks you up when you’re down , arms with a warm embrace , and a chest where you can lay your head and rest .

Stereotyping

I’m seriously tired of this, all the issues that are built on the bases of nothing, all the judgment that is set on no ground.

Why do we keep judging each other on every action we do, we throw hurtful words, filled with venom, and expect the person to accept them. Who gave you the right to do such a thing, hurting another human being?

Stereotype and outcast , why do we do that , why do we put every person a category  as though we’re a group of books , and who ever doesn’t fit one of those standards is an outcast and has no place in the world .

How could you limit me to one character and say that who I am , if the truth is I’m not that , I’m a person , who has different characteristics and I switch moods . that who I’m , and I never told you  that you should be like me because that’s not how to goes around  .

We’re individuals that means that every one of us has his/her individuality, everyone is their own mixture of traits and experience and so much more. So how do you expect us to fit a certain category?

One other thing that really pisses me off about that stereotype nonsense is why some groups are considered superior to others. They are believed to be better that other and act that why , I never  quite understood that part . why are they considered better what about them makes them superior .

Last but not least are the bases of this judgment, usually a person in judged on their external appearance, regardless of the goals, feeling , and  personality of the individual . though the external looks of people , rarely shows who they truly are .
( you may find a sport jock who loves to dance , a b-boy whose great in school , a smart gurl who knows how to part )
so how could you judge a person by just one part of who they are .
