You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.

it's times like these you learn to live again
it's times like these you give and give again
it's times like these you learn to love again
it's times like these time and time again

Life isn't about what you can do better than others
it isn't some big fancy contest
rather
a chance to enjoy everything you do
and
the people you meet
I like to live it for the LULZ
that is my way
laughing all of the way

I was told many things
people told me I would do this
I would fail at that
my health issues would ruin me
they kept saying negative things
they kept up the insults
I guess they had nothing better to do

I have got some very sad news for them
I have proved them wrong on so many levels I make them look like little kids
yet the people saying this
were high school level
spewing every random negative thought
in the hopes that they would get me down
It never worked
everyday I live
I prove them more wrong
that works for me

as for recently
they kept saying their stuff
and you know what?
I just ignored it
I know it is all wrong

[sunburstlespaulhero1989]

i didn’t get far in life telling people what i was going to do. i didn’t think much about the long-lasting consiquences first because i was looking for a way to solve it and make it work in the present. one thing i never consider when i am making decisions is the past because the past is over, i can’t do anything more than look back on the lessons i learned. when i do make a decisions i try to minimize the bad things that happen but then again sometimes i don’t think because i have very little regrets in the past because i have just learned to live with them

There are many things that constantly go on in our lives
We like to say that we have control over everything
but
that isn't the truth
There are times where we lose control of one thing
and feel that the world is comming to an end
This world is becomming more multitasking with every generation
Technology hasn't seemed to have helped much
it seems that more work is needed done with it
than without it

We often are stressing over everything
it does take a toll on us
it drains us to where we can't work anymore
a day off is needed
but
things always seem that a day off will mess things up more than working while we are drained

Things aren't simple
days in the 50s were less stressful than now
even though more work was needed
the stress was less

People need to learn how to chill
relax and find peace
know that if you mess up and fall back
there is nothing to worry about
