Do we know each other?

Do we know each other?

In a crowd suddenly you see a face. She or he looks very very familiar to you. But you are sure that you have never ever met before. Even you can swear to God! So, what’s wrong? Why this happen?
This happened sometimes to me. How about you?

Old or New?!

dive74 — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 03:59:42 GMT

Old or New?!

Hello again everyone,

I have another question for you:
Which one do you prefer; the old one or new one?
Somebody may say: NEW of course! Anything which is new there is no doubt that is fine.

But, somebody will choose the old things! They believe the quality and… I don’t know what ever ... is better.
If you ask me I would say that depends. For example new computers are better than old ones. But I value my old friends.
Well what do you think?

True LOVE ?!

True LOVE ?!

Hey guys,
Long time no see! How are you all?

We always hear about true love. Say, if it’s right then what is FALSE love?
Is it ok to say that? I hope you got what I meant. Love is love! There is no fake or second hand or anything like these.
I wish you all the real LOVE, yes, TRUE LOVE!

Life Is Beautiful

Life is beautiful,
colorful and magical,
throwing up things,
never believable.

Beautiful people,
animals and trees,
earth and the sun,
and the flowing rivers.

Everything is beautiful,
making life admirable,
making us fly,
towards that beautiful sky.

Those wonderful birds,
those beautiful beaches,
those green grasslands,
invite us everywhere.

This beautiful earth,is for us all,
enjoy living here and help others enjoy it!

THINK

When you’re making a decision about something, look at more than the benefits you’ll get by doing it. Also look at what price it requires of you. Weigh both the benefits and the price before you decide whether to act or not.

When your heart is broken!

When you are deeply in love, heartbreak can be traumatic. If you are going through a period of heartbreak, you must accept the fact that life goes on and so must you. Face those feelings of rejection and anger by acknowledging them, dealing with them, and then achieving closure. The most important thing is to get in touch with reality.

Where I Stand

Where I Stand

© By Taj-domayn C. Thompson

Here I stand,
Until the time
Was it a crime to see what cannot be touched
Hear voices speak words that can't be undone
Was it my fault I was invincible
To the naked eye, I am invisible
I cannot be seen
Because no one wants to see me
I am different
Different from the rest of them
So they ignore me
But I don't ignore them
No one is friendly
Why were they so blind
Because I am not them
I am only mine
I am different
But I can see
But they can't see me
I watch them fall
Divided they fall
Together they die
But here I stand
Until the end of time
Was it a crime that I was unique
Original to the human mind
I was invisible to there standards
Invisible to their lies
But as they kneel to beg
I watch them beg
But here I stand until the end of time
Was it a crime for me to live my life
A crime for wanting to survive
No one would answer
So I will wait until the end of time

Quote about Life

The real voyage of discovery consists of not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.

Marcel Proust

The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Promises To Keep

Promises To Keep

This is just a short poem and I liked it.

I will do more than belong, I will participate.
I will do more than care, I will help.
I will do more than believe, I will practice
I will do more than forgive, I will forget.
I will do more than teach, I will inspire.
I will do more than dream, I will work.
I will do more than give, I will serve.
I will do more than earn, I will enrich.
I will do more than live, I will grow.
I will do more than be fair, I will be kind.
I will do more than be a citizen, I will be a patriot.
I will do more than be friendly, I will be a friend.

The Journey

dive74 — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 22:45:44 GMT

The Journey

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting their bad advice --
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!" each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations
though their melancholy was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice,
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life you could save.

Mary Oliver
