Why.
August 1st, 2006 by lilpiglet22My foot does not separate
from the ground
I am simply afraid
I am afraid to fly to
the sky
Because I am used to
the ground
Don’t I have the wing?
Didn’t I dream I flew before?

Life is full of lots of up and downs,
And the distance feels further when you’re headed
for the ground,
And there is nothing more painful than to let you’re
feelings take
you down,
It’s so hard to know the way you feel inside,
When there’s many thoughts and feelings that you
hide,
But you might feel better if you let me walk with you
by your side,
And when you need a shoulder to cry on,
When you need a friend to rely on,
When the whole world is gone,
You won’t be alone, cause I’ll be there,
I’ll be your shoulder to cry on,
I’ll be there,
I’ll be a friend to rely on,
When the whole world is gone,
you won’t be alone, cause I’ll be there.
All of the times when everything is wrong
And you’re feeling like
There’s no use going on
You can’t give it up
I hope you work it out and carry on
Side by side,
With you till the end
I’ll alway be the one to firmly hold your hand
no matter what is said or done
our love will always continue on
Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on
everyone needs a friend to rely on
When the whole world is gone
you won’t be alone cause
I’ll be there
I’ll be your shoulder to cry on
I’ll be there
I’ll be the one you rely on
when the whole world’s gone
you won’t be alone
cause
I’ll be there!
And when the whole world is gone
You’ll always have my shoulder to cry on….
The worst way to miss someone is to be seated by her side and know you’ll never have her.
Just because someone doesn’t love you as you wish, it doesn’t mean you’re not loved with her being.
There will always be people who’ll hurt you, so you need to continue trusting, just be carefull.
Maybe god want you to meet many wrong people before u meet the right one.
So when this happens, you’ll be thankfull.
Never stop smiling, not even when you’re sad, someone might fall in love with your smile.
Real happiness is the pure, comfoting and delightful feeling that comes after giving and renouncing.
Having money does not always bring happiness, but having a clear conscious definitely brings a peace of mind.
Be proper and sincere, regardless of how others malign us, it is a chance to improve our characters even more.
Don’t make light of oneself because everyone has limitless potential.
The past is gone, the future is unpredictable. All we have is now, make great use of it.
If you can make good use of time, you will surely go where you want to go.
*The Wooden Bowl* *
I guarantee you will remember the tale of the
Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week
from now, a month from now, a year from now. **
**A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law,and
four-year**
**old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was
blurred,
and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table. **
**But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made
eating
difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped
the
glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.**
**The son and
daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. "We must do
something about
father," said the son. "I’ve had enough of his spilled milk,
noisy eating,
and food on the floor." **
**So the husband and wife set a small table
in the corner.There,Grandfather
ate alone while the rest of the family
enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather**
**had broken a dish or two, his food was
served in a wooden bowl.**
**When the family glanced in Grandfather’s
direction, sometime he had a tear
in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the
only words the couple had for him
were sharp admonitions when he dropped a
fork or spilled food. **
**The four-year-old watched it all in
silence.**
**One evening before supper, the father noticed his son
playing with wood
scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, "What are
you making?" **
** Just as sweetly, the boy responded, "Oh, I am making a
little bowl
for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up." The
four-year-old
smiled and went back to work.** **
**The words so
struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears
started to
stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew
what must be
done. **
**That evening the husband took Grandfather’s hand and gently
led him back
to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every
meal with
the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed
to care any
longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth
**
**soiled.**
**On a positive note, I’ve learned that, no matter
what happens, how bad it
seems! today, life does go on, and it will be
better tomorrow.**
**I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person
by the way he/she **
**handles three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and
tangled Christmas **
** tree lights. **
**I’ve learned that,
regardless of your relationship with your parents,** **
** you’ll miss them
when they’re gone from your life. **
**I’ve learned that making a
"living" is not the same thing as making a**
**"life."**
**I’ve
learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.** **
**I’ve
learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt **
**on
both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.**
**I’ve
learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But, if **
**you
focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and
doing
the very best you can, happiness will find you. **
** I’ve learned that
whenever I decide something with an open heart, I**
**usually make the right
decision. **
**I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to
be one.** **
**I’ve learned that every day, you should reach out and
touch someone. **
**People love that human touch — holding hands, a
warm hug, or just a**
**friendly pat on the back.**
**I’ve learned
that I still have a lot to learn.! **
A boy and a girl, the best of friends.
From elementary to high school from beginning to end.
Through all those years their friendship grew.
They both felt the same, but neither knew.
Each waking moment since the day they met.
They both loved each other sunrise to sunset.
He was all she had in her terrible life.
He was the one who kept her from her knife.
She was his angel, she made him smile.
Though life threw him curves, she made it all worth while.
Then one day things went terribly wrong.
The next few weeks were like a very sad song.
He made her jealous on purpose he tried.
When the girl asked, "Do you love her?" on purpose he lied.
He played with jealousy like it was a game.
Little did he know Things would never be the same.
His plan was working but he had no clue.
How wrong things would go, the damage he would do.
One night she broke down, feeling very alone.
Just her and the blade, no one else home.
She dialed his number, he answered, "Hello"
She told him she loved him and hung up the phone.
He raced to her house just a minute too late.
Found her lying in blood, her heart had no rate.
Beside her was a note, in it her confession.
Her love for this boy, her only obsession.
As he read the note, he knelt down and cried.
Grabbed her knife, that night they both died.
She was found in his arms, both of them dead.
Under her note his handwriting said: "I loved her so, she never knew.
All this time I loved her too."
When you are together with that special someone, you pretend to ignore that person. But when that special someone is not around, you might look around to find them. At that moment, you are in love
Although there is someone else who always makes you laugh, your eyes and attention might go only to that special someone. Then, you are in love.
Although that special someone was supposed to have called you long back, to let you know of their safe arrival, your phone is quiet. You are desperately waiting for the call! At that moment, you are in love.
If you are much more excited for one short e-mail from that special someone than other many long e-mails, you are in love.
When you find yourself as one who cannot erase all the emails or SMS messages in your phone because of one message from that special someone, you are in love
When you get a couple of free movie tickets, you would not hesitate to think of that special someone. Then, you are in love.
While you are reading this, if someone appears in your mind, then u are in love with that person…
smiling to myself when im alone,
thoughts of you lingers through my head,
wondering if you’re thinking the same.
looking at the stars tonight
reminds me of the time we shared and spent
everyday we meet, these butterflies don’t fade.
every step u take, every word u say
remains in my mind as time passes.
reasoning with my feelings are useless.
knowing that i may not get to see u as often as i like,
or being held in your arms through the night.
You’re the one I truly want to be with.
it’s not being in love that makes me happy,
its being in love with you.
Words cannot say how i truly feel about you.
though i know loving you may be painful,
I choose this because,
if there is anything better than to be loved, it is loving.
Completeness is what you are,
Never by what love makes you to be.
Being cherished by the one you love
is always the greatest happiness in life.
Loving someone who can never give you love
is always the greatest challenge in life.
What is love really?
Why is it that everytime a couple starts
moments are of the sweetest and happiest.
Moments that will always be remembered and cherished.
Arguments start,
These moments are forgotten forever.
Yet what do we look for in life.
Is it a sin to love and let love find you.
Love is something to be cherished,
To be found within each and everyone of us.
To be happy and sad, to love is to feel.
Good relationships don’t just happen. I’ve heard many of my clients state that, "If I have to work at it, then it’s not the right relationship." This is not a true statement, any more than it’s true that you don’t have to work at good physical health through exercise, eating well, and stress reduction.
I’ve discovered, in the 35 years that I’ve been counseling couples, 7 choices you can make that will not only improve your relationship, but can turn a failing relationship into a successful one.
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF
This is the most important choice you can make to improve your relationship. This means that you learn how to take responsibility for your own feelings and needs. This means that instead of trying to get your partner to make you feel happy and secure, you learn how to do this for yourself through your own thoughts and actions. This means learning to treat yourself with kindness, caring, compassion, and acceptance instead of self-judgment. Self-judgment will always make you feel unhappy and insecure, no matter how wonderfully your partner is treating you.
For example, instead of getting angry at your partner for your feelings of abandonment when he or she is late, preoccupied and not listening to you, not turned on sexually, and so on, you would explore your own feelings of abandonment and discover how you might be abandoning yourself.
When you learn how to take full, 100% responsibility for yourself, then you stop blaming your partner for your upsets. Since blaming one’s partner for one’s own unhappiness is the number one cause of relationship problems, learning how to take loving care of yourself is vital to a good relationship.
KINDNESS, COMPASSION, ACCEPTANCE
Treat others the way you want to be treated. This is the essence of a truly spiritual life. We all yearn to be treated lovingly — with kindness, compassion, understanding, and acceptance. We need to treat ourselves this way, and we need to treat our partner and others this way. Relationships flourish when both people treat each other with kindness. While there are no guarantees, often treating another with kindness brings kindness in return. If your partner is consistently angry, judgmental, uncaring and unkind, then you need to focus on what would be loving to yourself rather than reverting to anger, blame, judgment, withdrawal, resistance, or compliance. Kindness to others does not mean sacrificing yourself. Always remember that taking responsibility for yourself rather than blaming others is the most important thing you can do. If you are consistently kind to yourself and your partner, and your partner is consistently angry, blaming, withdrawn and unavailable, then you either have to accept a distant relationship, or you need to leave the relationship. You cannot make your partner change — you can only change yourself.
LEARNING INSTEAD OF CONTROLLING
When conflict occurs, you always have two choices regarding how to handle the conflict: you can open to learning about yourself and your partner and discover the deeper issues of the conflict, or you can try to win, or at least not lose, through some form of controlling behavior. We’ve all learning many overt and subtle ways of trying to control others into behaving the way we want: anger, blame, judgment, niceness, compliance, caretaking, resistance, withdrawal of love, explaining, teaching, defending, lying, denying, and so on. All the ways we try to control create even more conflict. Remembering to learn instead of control is a vital part of improving your relationship.
For example, most people have two major fears that become activated in relationships: the fear of abandonment — of losing the other - and the fear of engulfment — of losing oneself. When these fears get activated, most people immediately protect themselves against these fears with their controlling behavior. But if you chose to learn about your fears instead of attempt to control your partner, your fear would eventually heal. This is how we grow emotionally and spiritually — by learning instead of controlling.
CREATE DATE TIMES
When people first fall in love, they make time for each other. Then, especially after getting married, they get busy. Relationships need time to thrive. It is vitally important to set aside specific times to be together — to talk, play, make love. Intimacy cannot be maintained without time together.
GRATITUDE INSTEAD OF COMPLAINTS
Positive energy flows between two people when there is an "attitude of gratitude." Constant complaints creates a heavy, negative energy, which is not fun to be around. Practice being grateful for what you have rather than focusing on what you don’t have. Complaints create stress, while gratitude creates inner peace, so gratitude creates not only emotional and relationship health, but physical health as well.
FUN AND PLAY
We all know that "work without play makes Jack a dull boy." Work without play makes for dull relationships as well. Relationships flourish when people laugh together, play together, and when humor is a part of everyday life. Stop taking everything so seriously and learn to see the funny side of life. Intimacy flourishes when there is lightness of being, not when everything is heavy.
SERVICE
A wonderful way of creating intimacy is to do service projects together. Giving to others fills the heart and creates deep satisfaction in the soul. Doing service moves you out of yourself and your own problems and supports a broader, more spiritual view of life.
Do you know,
How many times,
We have walked together,
Do you know,
How many times,
You have walked me home?
If you know how many,
Please tell me,
Because I don’t know.
I don’t know,
Where we are,
I don’t know anything,
That is in our love.
I don’t know how many,
Footsteps we have together,
Do you know why,
It’s because you and I,
Have not walked,
Together more than once,
You have never tell me,
What is in your heart.
I don’t know what to ask you,
I don’t know,
What to tell you.
Whenever I am with you,
There seems to be a distance,
Between the both of us.
Footsteps of you and I,
Where are they,
Do you see them in the snow,
Do you hear them
In the rain.
We don’t have any of this,
Because you have never,
Walked with me,
Through the winter snow,
You have never took my hand.
Or walked with me,
During the rainy day.
Where is the love,
Between us,
When you never tell me,
Where you are,
What you are doing.
Is there love between us,
I love you so much,
But I can’t live,
With you forever,
Without knowing,
What you are feeling inside,
I can’t live with you,
Without knowing,
What your love means to me,
What you feel
About my love…
