YOLO.
We used to think that in order to succeed, we had to feed our needs, in order to achieve what we believe. Our minds were possessed with school, because our parents always told us, ”You won’t get anywhere without an education”.
We used to listen.
Dedicating our lives to dreams that our parents laid out for us, we were focused. Focused on a path that would have surely brought us into, stability; a fantasy that many long for, but few ever get the chance to experience.
We could’ve been alright. We could’ve been happier beyond measure.
If only we kept listening.
But, somewhere along the line, we stopped. Valid advice began to fall on deaf ears. With eardrums drowned in: bass kicks, snares, And hi hats; we started to believe in a sound that was meant to be just that: a sound. Without trying to look between the lines, we only heard the surface noise. We let it sweep us away. Drowning in music with no message, we died. And from our ashes, we were reborn through ignorance.
And for some reason, a motto was etched into our minds. ”You Only Live Once”. It’s the same thing our parents told us our entire lives, but this message was distorted.
You see, to us, since we only live once; we wanted to do everything we knew we shouldn’t. Oxygen was replaced with smoke, riddled with THC. Water was substituted for any drink with a high alcohol level. Nights of studying for tomorrow’s big test, became mornings not remembering what happened last night.
We’ve created our own path. Our own way of life. Based upon the lives we only wish we could lead. Lives that we on LEDs and LCDs, always displayed in HD.
Wishing that we could have lifestyles of the rich and famous, we didn’t see the negative sign in front of our account balance. After the high wears off, and the alcohol loses effect; we’re stuck. Not knowing what to do next, we just fall into the same routine until those toxins replace our blood streams.
We’ve become zombies. And all we can think is “Damn, we should’ve listened”.
And then we realize, yeah, “You Only Live Once”. But, what have we been living for?
Parties?
One night stands?
Getting high to the point where you can’t function without a substance?
Drinking until we bleed alcohol?
You see, we’ve become obsessed with the thought of living life to the fullest.
But, what’s living if you don’t have a purpose?
Why not find love, be loved, and create a new love?
Why not fulfill the potential that God blessed us with?
Why not do something greater?
You’ve been given one life, live it to the fullest, but at the same time;
Make it count.
Make your life worth something.
YOLO.

April.
You were named correctly,
Everything about the season and month;
Is reflected,
In you.
On first glance, you’re a fool;
The little things you do,
Leave me gasping for air,
Because of uncontrollable laughter.
Your kind actions show me your true nature,
Slowly blossoming like flowers;
So beautiful,
They can’t be from this world.
I don’t know their names.
Your voice is like a perfect breeze.
Noticeable from a distance,
But;
Up close, it’s unbelievable.
It makes every hair on my being stand at attention,
Whether from excitement, or fear,
It doesn’t matter.
The feeling is ecstasy.
Your scent is toxic,
Yet, intoxicating.
I’m unsure if something so addicting,
Can be good for me or not.
But, I can’t get enough.
I try to make our innocent embraces last longer than the last,
Hoping that your scent will linger, for a while longer.
However, unfortunately, you can’t be like the peaceful Spring all the time.
Sometimes, it rains.
Raindrops synonymous with your tears,
Raging winds that sound just like your screams.
I hate to see you on your rainy days.
All I can do, is offer myself;
As your umbrella.
Using myself as your shield, to make sure;
That nothing can touch you,
And cause you harm.
If it were up to me,
I’d be selfish;
And keep you all to myself,
Because I, would never abuse you.
Why, you ask?
Well, because being in your presence, is like,
Being caught in an infinite loop of:
The sun, shining on me,
Slowly permeating my whole body,
With warmth.
A breeze, cooling me;
Keeping me level headed,
Something, that is hard for me to do on my own.
Scents, filling my nose with harmonies of your being.
Each one different, each one more addicting than the previous,
And I’m not allergic to any.
You see,
Everything about you,
Is just like the Spring.
Naturally beautiful,
Breathtaking,
Awe inspiring,
But most of all;
Indescribable.
I can use all the words I want, to try and describe you;
But every word that comes to mind,
Doesn’t fully encompass,
You.
All I can say is,
You,
Make the most amazing season;
Happen everyday.
Thank you, for letting me see,
The paradise;
Within you.
And;
If you don’t mind,
Would it be okay,
If I stay for a while?

Anonymous asked: do you have a facebook or twitter or anything else besides tumblr?
Actually, yeah. Lol.
Add me, follow me, stalk me; whatever tickles your fancy.
Anonymous asked: what kind of girls are you atracted too?
First of all, to me, ethnicity doesn’t matter at all. I don’t care where your family comes from, I don’t care what your culture consists of; as long as we can have a genuine connection, I’m down for it.
A girl that loves Jesus as much as I do, is also a big plus. I’m not asking for her to be perfect and to live like a saint. But, as long as she knows who her Lord and Savior is, we can get along.
Girls with ambition also attract me. Sure, she can go out and party. But if she’d rather stay in because she has a huge test to study for or a job interview to go to in the morning; then she can get it. Nothing sexier than woman trying to make something of herself.
Now, physically? I am a butt man. I love a woman with ass. Not a ridiculous amount of butt that I won’t know what to do with it, but a butt with nice shape, bounce, and perk to it. Also, I LOVE girls with tattoos. Not really sure why, but it’s just sexy to me. I don’t mean like one small tattoo of a bird or something. But, like full on half-sleeve or a detailed rib piece. And finally, eyes. If I can look into your eyes and get lost in them. I might marry you. Lol.
That’s some of the things that attract me to a girl. But, simply, as long as she’s got a good heart; we can try to make something work.
Anonymous asked: so i think i mite have got my gf pregnant. we had sex a month ago and she hasnt gotten her period. and shes been geting sick and moody and stuff. what should we do?
Get a pregnancy test done. You need to confirm that she is pregnant before you do anything. After that, you really need to assess the situation you are in. Are you both financially and emotionally ready to raise a child? Will you have the support of both of your families? Will your baby be brought up by two loving parents or two people that hate each other?
Whatever you choose to do, it’s up to you. But, make sure that the both of you are on the same page. If you choose to, you can raise this child to be something great, for itself and for the both of you. It all depends on how strong you two are and how much you care for each other and this possible new life.
Anonymous asked: what have you friends done to you?
Well, all of my friends have done right and wrong to me.
All of my friends have been down for me, had my back, etc. They were there when I wanted to get out of the house and kick it. They were willing to lie for me so I wouldn’t get in trouble. They spotted me money for food sometimes when we went out.
However, even though I went to the ends of the Earth for them, when I needed them most; they weren’t here. When I was the most successful among us, I was the guy to be around. But, when I hit rock bottom, no one is around to help me back up.
Do I hate my friends and regret our friendship?
No, but I know better now.
The Value of Friendship.
For some people, their friends are pretty much the center of their little World. I can agree with this, because I’ve been through it. I’ve been through that phase where I made my friends my main priority. From treating them out, to giving them advice, to even letting them cry on my shoulder. Do I regret any of it? No, I don’t. I take care of those that I care about.
However, what I’ve learned about friends is this: you can never truly trust them. Unlike how your family will always be there for you unconditionally, your friends don’t have to. They will turn on you without notice. That’s the sad truth. It sucks, but it’s true. People, by nature, are greedy and selfish creatures. It is our first instinct to do what benefits ourselves. Unfortunately, this is how many friendships end. Whether it’s stealing, lying, or taking a friend’s significant other, etc; there are many ways to end a friendship in a fucked up way.
But, there are also ways to keep a friendship strong. There are ways to strengthen the bond you have with someone. If you have friends that truly care for you, do the same for them. Value what they give to you, they will do the same in return. If they trust you, do the same. Trust what they tell you, because they are looking out for you. Fight for them, as long as they will fight for you.
Cherish and value your friends, but don’t forget, things can change without you noticing. Always keep your guard up, but your heart open.
