The Perfect Friend ©

by Shannen Wrass
(Wisconsin)

Shannen Wrass

(Visitor's life poem):

Today I found a friend
Who knew everything I felt
She knew my every weakness
And the problems I’ve been dealt
She understood my wonders
And listened to my dreams
She listened to how I felt about life and love
And knew what it all means
Not once did she interrupt me
Or tell me I was wrong
She understood what I was going through
And promised she'd stay long
I reached out to this friend
To show her that I care
To pull her close and let her know
How much I need her there
I went to hold her hand
To pull her a bit nearer
And I realized this perfect friend I found
Was nothing but a mirror

Quotes about Peer Pressure, Self Worth, Freedom and Success

by Boitumelo Khunou
(South Africa)

First, let's start with some peer pressure quotes:

I do not believe in peer pressure. I think your own personal pressure is so much more influential than that of your peers.
~ Boitumelo Khunou ~

Peer pressure only goes as far as convincing you. It creates a thought. That is all it can achieve. Personal pressure is what drives the thought to action.
~ Boitumelo Khunou ~

And here are two quotes about self worth:

The most influential person to you is YOU.
~ Boitumelo Khunou ~

Investing in ourselves promotes others to invest in us.
~ Boitumelo Khunou ~

Let's move on to a freedom quote:

Once in a while, everyone needs time out. A break from the normal world and to take on a new adventure. A quest for freedom. A strong desire to be free from restrictions and limitations, far away from responsibility.
~ Boitumelo Khunou ~

And here is a paradox of communication:

The more effective communication gets, the more out of touch we actually become.
~ Boitumelo Khunou ~

Here is one quote about getting the best out of life:

It's not okay to settle for what you have and be content with that. In life, you should not have to settle for anything.
~ Boitumelo Khunou ~

Here are two quotes that in different ways speak about letting go:

Sometimes, the things you want the most are those that you need to let go of for a while... and the outcomes? Well, fate has control over those.
~ Boitumelo Khunou ~

It's okay to take a step back. But remember not to lose your ground.
~ Boitumelo Khunou ~

Let's end these inspirational quotes with a positive quote and one about success:

A smile improves your quality of life. It spreads joy and gives hope to those in despair.
~ Boitumelo Khunou ~

Success is yours if you claim it for yourself. Believe that YOU are the one that can beat the odds. Make things happen...
~ Boitumelo Khunou ~

The Unaspected Journeys

by Potato
(PA)

People live life from a day to day life. They're like machines. But unlike machines they have feelings. They have life. They have hope. Most of them fill their hope with Love, Determination, or Sadness.

Some believe in an afterlife. When they die they have another life. They live more. A better life. Or maybe a life in hell. A life worse than what they were already living. A life worse than death.

Most say that they already came to this point. Yet they have no idea how far it really takes them.

Some believe there is no hell. And fill them with happiness, love compassion, determination. And yet in the end the hell has been inside them all along. Being overlooked by others. And they have no idea how they could handle it. So they bury it. Never to see it. Until. It's too late. And they are consumed by it.

There was a saying that You and YOU could only say sorry so much until there is no effect. Until it doesn't just affect You or the other. But everyone around them.

It hurts the ones we love. Hurts us. But really why does it matter. Why do we….Why do You need to hurt people. You hurt them and yourself. All they do is try and love you and in the end you pushed them away. You betrayed them. You hurt them. You ruined their hopes, their dreams, their love, their determination.

You always say “This is it, I'm done!” Yet you never stop. You have gotten so used to it. All you do is hurt them without knowing. Yet in some way they still love you. They only wish for the best for you. They were once you. They tried to change them but in the end changed you. They blame themselves almost as much as you blame them for the stuff you committed. They love you and only want to help you. And yet you pushed them.

Until one day it's too late and they're gone. And you finally realize how much they truly mean. So why not show them this now? Why did you wait? You ruined the time you could of spend with them. And only spend it with yourself. You could've prevented this. And yet you didn't.

And you wished you could go back in time and fix it. And you say to yourself this will never happen again and you tell your children this and their children and theirs. And yet the same thing repeats.

Although, it doesn't need to. You tried to take control of them. But don't control them. Guide them.

Controlling leads to corruption. Guidance leads to the peace within. Help them.

This is a message to make you think. To make you believe. They never tried to control you. They loved you. They guided you. Shaped you.

So please don't hate them. Love them. You don't know how much time you have until it's over. But it doesn't need to end the wrong way. Don’t force them. Don't force yourself.

Show them you do care. Show them you love. Show them you have the willingness to change. Show them they guided you. Don't show them hate, show them love. Don't show yourself hate. Show yourself the love and determination you once had. Just like they did.

Life is too short to waste on hate and war. Make the best of what you have.

~ Potato ~

The Best Imperfections

by P.G. Sutherland
(Australia)

When you think about it, your imperfections aren’t so bad. Every tragedy, every mistake, has an outcome. With your sadness comes empathy, with your anger comes passion, and with every mistake comes what makes up your life so that it is different from other’s and gives wisdom, which is an honour.

~ P.G. Sutherland ~

Tim Watts (quotes)

by Tim Watts
(London, UK)

Arrogance is only an assumption of superiority, not actual knowledge.

If you want the fruits to fall you must shake the tree - said the giraffe to the pygmy.

A sense of humour is always essential, not for the sake of laughter, but that warm realisation of finally connecting with a human being.

Determination without opportunity is like the fuel in a speedboat moored in the mud.

~ Tim Watts ~
