Inspiration Sunday!
I bet you thought I wouldn't update this! Well, I guess this proves I'll at least go a couple of weeks before I drop the ball.
Today is February 29, can you believe it? Time is flying by at an insane rate and all I keep thinking is, "Noooooooooooooo, I don't want to be 20!." The reality is that my birthday isn't until November, but it doesn't seem that far off anymore. Is it just me, or did everyone else get to this point in their life and think 'I just lived 1/4 of my life and did not accomplish a thing'? Maybe that sounds pessimistic, but really, aside from getting baptized what have I done? If you could know 20 years in advance how well or how uselessly you would spend them, I wonder what you would do. Would you inevitably return, after a short period of trying, to doing nothing of importance? Or, would you make those 20 years the best 20 years of your life? We know we have limited time in this system, but it doesn't seem to sink in until it's almost up. I think what got me thinking about that was waking up at 1:00pm today. I realized I'm wasting so much of my valuable time and of my life by not using it properly. I could have gone to bed early, got up, went to the meeting, had a nice lunch, gone out in service, come home about 2:00, washed my truck, done school work and played my guitar...that's all before 5:00pm. It's now 3 hours before 5:00pm. So while it may seem I'm just wasting more time, I'm telling you, don't!! Bad idea, when you realize you've done it, it's very aggravating.
Ok, so now for my writings for the day (I decided to post two)...
The sky is red today
The sand is crush beneath
I'm left here waiting for anything
And everything
What should I wish for
I could always wish for peace
A selfish point of view
That shows what's underneath
I conceal what I am seeing
I reveal what is my being
But only to you
And only because of the things you do
I can gather my head when I'm high like a cloud
With a buzz that I can't deny I am found
And I'll smile for you with an MGD
But I hope you know what you get isn't what you see
How can I forgive you
Even if you forgive me? - Red
And for some less heavy but just as strange writing...
You are my flesh
So soft underneath
You are the pink
That I am blushing
You hold my secrets
That no one else sees
And I run my fingers through your hair
Only when you sleep
Will I dissapoint you
I'm trying so hard to be me
Will I interest you
When you know all of me
I live to be intelligent
Although so many days now
I seem so irrelevant
My mind is about to be found
My sanity
My sanity - My Sanity
