What Makes You Think, My Friend, That Youll Win This Time?

What makes you think, my friend, that you’ll win this time?

“She’s the one woman who ever loved him.” - Alex Høgh Andersen.

We don’t belong in this world.

Jasper: You guys don't think I'll be alone at 50, right?

Bellamy: Aw, come on man. You're not going to make it to 50.

A prominent fellow

When I was a kid, I thought he would last.

Then, I believed he was invincible.

I would draw all of my dreams in art class.

Hoping he would find them formidable.

 Growing up, he’d stay in the picture.

See, he was the most courteous there was.

There to comfort when the lights flicker.

An entirely humble man without flaws.

Getting older, I’d understand the truth.

I’d learn there were problem in paradise.

After, I was so scared to loose my youth.

But I learnt life uppermost’s not goodbye.

 I won’t worry now, I’ll try to be bold.

Hey you! Stop worrying already.

My dear friend, do not regret getting old.

It’s a privilege denied to many.

Be Brave

Has anyone else seen the quote: “I’ve never met a strong person with an easy past?”

I have. On multiple occasions. And although, as a realist, I have some difficulty believing this, I see it everyday without noticing it. I’m not saying there are dragon slayers and knight in shining armor all over the place, but you have to admit that someone who gets up everyday even though they know it’s going to be a shitty day is truly brave.

My point isn’t to define who deserves to be called strong and who doesn’t, because that is a subject that would create too much problems and I don’t think I get to judge anyone, ever. The reason why I stated this was that I wanted to tell everyone how brave they are. Now, don’t go away thinking that I am trying to please your ears. I want to let anyone and everyone who needs it that they are good and strong and that I admire them for being so brave.

As a matter of fact, I will enumerate all the things I think make someone strong. The following are things that takes a lot of my energy and my courage to do, but that I do anyway:

·       You’ve been able to get up in the morning without snoozing you alarm clock.

·       You’ve actually asked a question to the teacher in front of the whole class even though you thought you might sound stupid (which I am pretty sure you didn’t).

·       You have planned you study or your school working time in advance.

·       You have chosen school before going on the internet.

·       You’ve gone to sleep at a reasonable hour (considering the hour you would have to get up).

·       You’ve taken someone’s shit and haven’t tormented yourself afterwards with what you did or what you could’ve done.

I could go on for a while, but I’m guessing you get what I mean. You are strong. You may not think so, but I do and even though I don’t even know you, I care. Know that if anything happened to you, my heart would ache, and I would actually be sad.

And just so you know, although you may not realise it, I am far from the only one who thinks that way.
