I hate feeling strung out and depressed all the time, so I decided that I won’t feel like that anymore. I ran into a friend of mine last night, and he’s dealing with a lot of shit right now -he might be going to jail.

He said: “You have to always keep your head up because if your spirit becomes broken down, you are three times defeated: in your circumstances, in your heart, and in your mind. The last two are the most important, because those are what really is toxic for you and those who love you, because if your spirit becomes negative, it subtracts from the love in the world, and makes everything a little worse in the universe for everyone. And honestly, who would wish everyone more sadness?! I am not trying to add to what already exists, and what I’ve already contributed to it…

You gotta think long-term… you gotta think about when you’re older and wiser, and when you have the opportunity to achieve your dreams if things aren’t working out for you at the moment.

You see and hear a lot of clicking and shifting, but you never know when things will fall into place.  You are still young, counting your age and not your regrets, and so am I.

Who gives a shit if things are looking gloomy at the moment. We’re still breathing, this is our only life, and it ain’t over yet so let’s make the best of it. And the best, from what I understand, doesn’t involve beating ourselves up, and bringing other people down. There are other directions to be considered, and for the first time I want to go right.”
