Turning Back the Hands of Time

Just look at your younger self... lol... all the things you have come to learn now with your growth that had you known even the tiniest fraction of then would have made such a big difference. Hindsight.... beautiful thing, yes. But only as a way of learning. Foresight as a way around avoiding certain things. Look at how much just one mistake led to several events placing you where you are now. Mistakes bringing about lessons that have guided you and braced you with caution. Or maybe caused further recklessness because it's something you couldn't help but get accustomed to. Look at your young self not knowing how vital his/her choices were and how they led to you being well.. you. Many of us wish we could undo past decisions. Be it that good for nothing guy you wish you never gave the time of day or advice you may have ignored, bad company you should've never been in the company of, poor time management, choosing to not study for a paper because there was something more e...

Look for Less with DIY

So.... I'm into arts and crafts, DIY... anything I can do by myself I don't like to spend money on.

Vanity... The Quicksand of Reason

Overcome with vanity I see you stop at nothing to adorn yourself with materialistic and meaningless charms, adornments, garments obsessed by trends and fashion. Hahahaha!  Now what? Here you are in gold, silver, diamonds, the finest silk and leather, the most enchanting of perfumes and for what? Oh yes, a pleasing sight indeed a most intricately woven portrait... but that's all you are... a mere (beautified) vessel. But oh my darling even the most beautiful and precious rose is bound to wilt. From the dust you rise and though you fight it, to the dust you return. You are not immune to the power of time... You are a mere vessel... of greatness!  Forget your aesthetic confines and look right within you to find what it is you have contained in you that you've worked so hard to hide.... your soul. Profound and beautiful...
