My life: not so much a fairy tale #1

Right when things were beginning to pick up (again), a friend of mine knew that I was into a band called Tortured Soul and turned me to their latest album. I listened to music clips from their album on their website and that's when everything and anything that I held in my mind came out... the album resembles the situation I was in at the moment. Listen to the album, it's self explanatory.

I've been broken many times and every re-occurance built a stronger wall around me. I learned along the way and realized that I'm the only one who puts myself in any situation good or bad. Even though someone tells me I'm not the problem, I am... we all try to comfort ourselves by blaming others for our faults. Naturally, I would. Anytime you fail or put into a catastrophic situation, it's a wake up call for you to dig deep within yourself because some part of you is drifting away or already has. This is when we should try harder to become someone better than we already are. Every time I fell, the ground dispersed beneath me. It was less painful and easier for me to get back up. When a piece of my happiness broke away, it was just a piece. I knew I had much more to be happy about and that's what kept me going. Life goes on. Happiness is replaceable. But when it's a person, it's like holding a hallow crystal ornament. It's beautiful, fragile, and irreplaceable. This is when you have to take precautions before relying on someone to give you this kind of happiness. When you drop this crystal ornament it will shatter and putting the pieces back together will not give you the same kind of ornament it was before. This is also a metaphorical view of "trust." 

A deadline enforces you to work up to your goals. Don't live day-by-day because that would mean you're living aimlessly through life. A meaningful life has aspirations and goals. Life values time. Time is not only when the sun rises and sets, it's what you do in between.
