Today,
I learned to shut my mouth and walk away
even when I have every reason NOT to.
The tongue is a powerful thing.
Everyday you see people you wish didn't exist (at least in your world)
You hear things you wish you didnt
You know things that should've remained unknown
You ask yourself, why is she like that?
Why is he like that?
Why are things this way?
Let's learn to ask ourselves...
Why am I like this.
A friend used to always say "it's all in your head"
I'm starting to see some truth in that.

If there is a will, there is a way.
I've always been told
The times you least want to pray
Are the times you most need to pray.
I'd like to say
The times you least want to love
Are the times when love is most needed.
Beneath all the superficiality
Behind all the fake smiles and shallow conversations
Underneath every fault you see
There is something beautiful waiting for a grand discovery

I remember discussing my blog name with Terence once
Beauty in ashes.
We are all nothing but ashes
Beauty isn't so easily found
But I'll look and look past the ashes
Until beauty is found
in you.
