best seat in the house.

the only thing really certain about life, is death. everything else is a variable. times change, landscapes change, technology advances, cultures evolve. the earth doesn't just turn about its axis, it wobbles at an angle. love matures, relationships grow. trends come and go, money inflates and crashes.

and most of all, people change.


i change, you change. maybe, if we're lucky, our changes might compliment one another and ten years from now, we'll find that the winding paths of our lives intertwine with one other. we would've left square one so far behind, and yet still be side by side. if we're not so lucky, our changes may lead away from one another. we could be anywhere - far from where we started, or right back at the beginning, but apart nonetheless. its may not be right, nor is it wrong, it just happens.










they say love when you no longer search for better, but settle with the person you have. hence i've come to believe that in life, maybe you are allowed to love more than one person after all. i believe everyone has a soulmate, the difference is whether or not you meet. meeting your soulmate is entering a partnership, a contract of engaging the company of the other to the end.



to me, meeting your soulmate is finding companionship.


the person you marry may not be your soulmate. that's fact. you build a family, you have a life together. the person you marry may not be your soulmate, but is still a person you love and still someone who becomes very much a part of your life. you spend eternity with the person or you may not, because we change. our changes may compliment one another, bring us to places together; our changes could drive us apart. our changes could bring us elsewhere, alone. or our changes could alter the paths of our lives, our decisions and our entering different circles of people, and lead us to our soulmates.

life is never fair, but that's only because someone else took more than they should have, leaving us with the short end of the straw. but the principle remains: no one should have to pay for our mistakes besides ourselves.

mistakes are very much a part of life. we make them, we pay for them, we learn, we gain, we move on.

that being said, we fall in love, we make families. we change and we grow, that's a life process. when our lives' paths lead away from one another, we fall out of love.

mistake made and acknowledged.

we want to quit, we want to close the chapter, we want to move on. we want it so much we are ashamed to look at one another. but first, we must pay.


no one should take more than they're entitled to, no one should dish out more than they take in. no one should have to pay for your mistake, least of all your children whom YOU brought to this world. the problem began between 2 people, and should end with the same 2 people, no more and no less. children should never have to live with the short end of the straw, until they grow up and become adults, the fancy word for 'capable of making our own mistakes'.

mistake paid for.


only then do we learn, only then do we gain, only then can we move on to better or worse.

no one may be able to really pinpoint what life is about, but we can pretty much agree that experience is a major factor. so on the way to wherever it is we're going, even when it may be no where, keep your eyes open, keep your mind open, keep your senses engaged.

the only thing really certain about life, is death.



















so stop, and smell the flowers.



marvel, love, smile, grow, change, live.



my point? i don't really know. this really is just a train of thought.
