“The night has come… and we are the simple ones... with simple needs and we won’t go wrong. We chased it all away… and we dance the night away til’ the day comes. She doesn’t want to be here, she doesn’t want to be here… City lights don’t care, but we’re still free here…” - Anthony Delserro Jr., Track: ‘Wanna’
We are the simple ones, with simple needs, we chased it all away, but we’re still free here… Don’t run away, stand up for yourself and stand up for what you believe is right. That’s what life is… standing up for yourself and showing them what you’ve got. Life isn’t easy, but it doesn’t have to be hard either - you make life what you want it to be… You can make life this simple place, a place of peace and tranquility … To get there? To make this happen?… Just fight… fight for what you want and once you get there the road ahead and the road that you’re on will become a much more simple road to walk on… and to live…
I used to be scared to stand up for myself and scared to stand up for what I believed in, but this past year, more than a year, and after all that I’ve been through… I learned that I can’t be scared, I can’t run away… That’s what I did in the past, for most of my life… is run… and I’m sick of running. This is my time now, it’s always been my time and it’s taken me so long to realize that, but I’m here now… Life is yours and yours only. You are the star of your own life… Life is just this one big movie and every heartbreak, every traumatic event, ever good moment... is just a different scene in your movie… But the thing about this movie that is your life? - the biggest thing of all?… is that you are the Director, you get to call the shots, you get to write what happens next and if you make a mistake? start over and rewrite it… To every story there is said to be a happy ending an end… but I don’t believe that. I’m not saying life can’t be this good and happy thing, because it is and it can be, but what I’m saying is that there is no ending… Life keeps going... things are always changing, and once one thing ends another something else begins, life is a constant spinning carousel and only you can stop it…
“I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground… I tried to earn my way, I tried to tame this mind, you better believe that I’ve tried to beat this. When will this end? it goes on and on, over and over and over again. Keep spinning around, I know it won't stop till I step down from this for good… Here we go now one more time,... this is a sick cycle carousel...” - LifeHouse - Track: 'Sick Cycle Carousel'
"I never thought I'd end up here, never… thought I'd be standing where I am. I guess I kind of thought it would be easier than this… I guess I was wrong… Here we go now one more time…”
One of the Best Albums! - LifeHouse: 'No Name Face’ - This album has played and has made a huge impact on my life… Every song on the Album is incredible. This album changed my life and still does to this day…
That’s what life is… “a sick cycle carousel” … life keeps moving… and you have to keep moving with it… or else you’re going to fall off… and if you do fall off? which everyone does at one point in time in their lives… you have to get back up… even if you don’t get back up right away, but in your own time… when the moment feels right… get back up on your carousel, your life… and start over again…
The true test of life and what this Blog-Entry is all about is… not being afraid, and as lame as some of my points may be or come off as?…they are the truth, they are the reality, my reality, reality to life. You can’t be scared of life, but at the same time, it’s ok to be scared at times, as long as you eventually fight that fear… and take a stand. Be the powerful force of your life… light the match and fuel the fire… be a Firework and set off… Let what’s inside you, what’s inside your mind and soul, inside your heart… come out, don’t hide what‘s inside you. Let them see… let the world see who you are, let yourself see who you are. This is my wisdom, this is what I have learned over the years and I’m still learning everyday and I will continue to learn everyday, just like you all do… I’m human just like everyone else and I will make mistakes and that’s what truly makes people who they are (mistakes). That’s what makes me who I am. I am my mistakes, I am the choices that I make and even though some bad things have happened along the way, some difficult hurdles that I had no control over and didn’t choose to happen to me… I still had to make the choice to either let the battles take over me and beat me... or get up and fight them and beat them so that I could clear the air and live and breathe again…
"Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing? Do you know that there’s still a chance for you? 'Cause there’s a spark in you - You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine. Just own the night like the 4th of July... ‘Cause baby you’re a Firework... Come on and show ‘em what you’re worth..." - Katy Perry, Track: 'FireWork'
“Been so many things when I was someone else… Boxer in the ring - tryin' to defend myself… And the private eye to see what's going on… That's long gone… ” Britney Spears, Track: ‘Unusual You’
And that’s what I’ve done… I let my life become this constant boxing-match, constantly fighting…and letting people and life get the best of me. I have the need to always explain myself and defend myself and now looking back I realize that I don’t need to explain myself to anyone… It’s my life… I don’t have to act or be a certain way, I don’t have to explain my actions and feelings to anyone, but to myself… I’ve learned that what I really need to do is take action, and literally… show them what I’m made of and just be myself and the power within that itself is the flame… ‘the firework’ inside of me and inside my mind and my soul… they will see who I am and what I’m made of as long as I stay true to myself and be confident in who I am and what I want and how I feel and what I believe in… That’s what being an individual is all about… its what being human truly is all about… it’s about digging into your shoes and keeping firm to the ground and being exactly who you are…
"Tonight we’re going hard, Just like the world is ours... We’re tearin’ it apart, you know we’re superstars.We are who we are! We’ll be forever young, It’s about damn time to live it up, You know we're superstars. We R who we R..." - Ke$ha
That’s how you have to try and live your life… You have to own the night, own your life and feel like you’re on top of the world, BE on top of the world, your world, and once you do that and once you feel that way... everyone else around you and in your life will see it in you too…
"I'm not afraid to take a stand. Everybody come take my hand. We'll walk this road together, through the storm, Whatever weather, cold or warm. Just let you know that you're not alone. Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road..." - Eminem, Track: 'Not Afraid'
"And I just can't keep living this way. So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage. I'm standing up, I'm gonna face my demons. I'm man-ing up, I'm gonna hold my ground. I've had enough, now I'm so fed up, Time to put my life back together right now."
And that’s it… that’s all that you have to do… is not be afraid and know that everything is going to be ok. And never let your guard down - always stand up for yourself and stand up for what’s right and what’s true to you. And even though your guard is up… it’s ok to let it down sometimes and let people in… just don’t be naive and know who to trust and once you let them in? Let them see who you are. Let that spark inside you come out… light the flame, set it off... and be a Firework…
"seems like everything’s gonna be fine one day..."
