Say more in less words.

Distraction is so easy to obtain, I can't wrap my head around something for an instant because before I know it, I'm already thinking about something else. Do you know that feeling? When you have so much on your mind? When you are battling between a torrent of ideas and thoughts? That's how I feel right now, that is how I have felt lately; and having such an obstacled mind really makes my writing suck. So instead, I will share a quote from the book I'm reading, it is a new perspective to the topic, something I have never considered, but liked very much.

"...there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. Do you understand that?... When you kill a man, you steal a life, you steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children from a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. Do you see?"

I see, I can see perfectly how this man is right. The book is titled The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, my english teacher let me borrow it, and though I am barely in chapter three, I know I am going to love it.

Better judgement.

In the path of life, there will always be people that make you as blissful as you'll ever be, but their time to go comes, and they will make you as unhappy as you have ever been. 

People ease into your life, into your heart, they squeeze into the cracks of your skin, they do it slowly, patiently. They become your weakness, your strength, and everything in between; they allow you to smile, to laugh, to breath; they become the very best of you. And after they reach into your mind and soul, when they become the base of your thoughts... they leave. Unannounced. Quickly. Without leaving a trace. Those empty cracks start filling up with pain, unending tears drip from your eyes like broken faucets, and your heart hides from light, finding home in the darkest of your thoughts. Anger overpowers happiness; but then it fades away, camouflaging behind confusion and all those unending questions that keep you up every night, waiting for the answers that will never come. It seems impossible, but the time when you don't feel nothing at all eventually comes, music stops making you sad, and you begin to smile as enlightenment reaches the corners of your heart's cave. Realization hits you, the ice wall breaks, and you learn that people who hurt you the most, also teach you more than you can imagine.

I was taught that I am valuable, not because of money or last names. Today I can smile on my own, because I am valuable for who I am, what I believe in, and who I will become. I was taught that I shouldn't stop believing in myself, that I shouldn't give up on my dreams, that I have to fight for what I feel is best for me.

Society may have it's own judgment, but today, I am the judge of myself.
