IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
’ Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son!
The Difference
There are 1000 milliseconds in a second.
60 seconds in a minute.
60 minutes in an hour.
24 hours in a day.
365 days in a year.
Thats 315,569,260,000,000,000 milliseconds in a year.
1 millisecond is the difference between life and death.
Thats 31,556,926,000,000,000,000,000,000
Chances to die in just the first ten years of your life alone.
Now odds are none of you even know what that number means(Don’t worry I sure don’t either :)) but I’ll tell you thats ALOT.
So yea the point is we should all be happy were alive!
It's a sickness.
A madness
The way were driving ourselves crazy trying to be so god damn perfect
To want and to know you want and to just keep wanting more.
It is the human condition.
And it is the only condition.
Take it for what you will.
The reason why I stand
The answer lies in you
You hung to make me strong
Though my praise was few
When I fall and bring your name down
But I have found in you
A heart that pleads forgiveness
Replacing all these thoughts
Of painful memories
But I know
That your response will always be
[Chorus]
I’ll take you back always
And even when your fight is over now
Even when your fight is over now
I’ll take you back always
And even when the pain is coming through
Even when the pain is coming through
I’ll take you back
You satisfy this cry
Of what I’m looking for
And I take all I can
And lay it down
Before the throne of endless grace, now
That radiates what’s true
I’m in the only place
That erases all these faults
That have overtaken me
But I know
That your response will always be
[Repeat Chorus]
I can only speak
With a grateful heart
As I’m pierced by this gift
Of your love
I will always bring an offering
I can never thank you enough
[Chorus Two]
You’ll take me back always
And even when my fight is over now
Even when my fight is over now
You’ll take me back always
And even when my pain is coming through
Even when my pain is coming through
You’ll take me back always
Even when my fight is over now
Even when my fight is over now
You’ll take me back always
Even when my pain is coming through
Even when my pain is coming through
You’ll take me back
– Jeremy CampWe’ve all got scars as big as ours
A token for the pain we hide inside of us
Everyone’s scared that somebody knows
You keep it inside, yeah, that’s how it goes
If you’ve ever heard a beating heart
A rhythm for the songs we’re too afraid to sing
Nobody here is perfectly fine
A delicate frame, a fragile design
If there’s a hole in your heart
You gotta pull it together
It takes the courage to start
But now is better than never
It takes a push and a shove
Somehow it’s never enough
And it’s alarming how quick you could forget that
Nothing’s bigger than love
Nothing’s bigger than love
Nothing’s bigger than love
All you need, all you need is love
Some people change and some just won’t
You can’t take back the words you wish you’d never said
Promises break and lovers will lie
You hold up your hands and let out a sigh
So smile right before you fall
And lay beside this mess and call it consequence
Somebody said that life isn’t fair
When somebody else was saying a prayer
No one’s taking me out
Nothing’s pulling me down
I turn my head to the crowd
This love is big and it’s loud
This is the car in the crash
This is the light in the flash
This is the answers you know
But you’re just too scared ask
If there’s a hole your heart
You gotta pull it together
It takes the courage to start
But now is better than never
It takes a push and a shove
Somehow it’s never enough
Right and Wrong
Who’s to say what is right and what is wrong but one’s own moral compass?
Other than the widely accepted cliches and commonplaces which of course are even still open to interpretation.
And where do you draw the line between putting others before yourself.
Jesus Christ our lord and savior as they call him never once flinched away from putting himself in harms way to save others. There was no line for him, the thought of a line didn’t exist there just wasn’t one.
You put yourself before others. Period.
Even if they wanted to hurt him. Kill him. Mutilate his body.
Throw rocks at him.
Why can’t I withstand that and still do the right thing?
Because to me, that is the right thing.
Am I just not that good of a person.
Or is it a choice that I need to make conciously everyday to forgive and forget.
Now, if Jesus had done something wrong. Would he forgive himself so easily as he does everyone else?
^^^^ Answer me that and you win a prize.

Uh Dallas,
When did you get a tumblr O_O
Dude, I literally just said the same thing outloud.
Hahaha.HA I got it like….yesterday?
One Wish
I must admit, her every word captivated me.
Her stories, her fears, her smile, her perfect eyes;
All of these took me prisoner and refused to set me free.
But I liked it.
I basked in everything that was her, and gloried in every inch of her being.
I loved the way she looked to me to make things better.
I only wish I could have been the savior she expected me to be.
We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye and ask for forgiveness;
We’ll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you’ll count on the me from yesterday
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we’ll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you’ll act as a clever medicine.
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we’ll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
Oh each other….
When everything else is gone.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we’ll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
Oh each other….
When everything else is gone.
Oh each other….
When everything else is gone.
I’m not a perfect person
There’s many things I wish I didn’t do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I’m sorry that I hurt you
It’s something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That’s why I need you to hear
I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
I’m not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I’ve found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I’ve found a reason to show
A side of me you didn’t know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
