Thoughts...

Happiness is looking past imperfections.
Understanding doesn’t mean you have to understand.
Caring doesn’t always mean doing what’s best.
Having trust in people is accepting the fact that everyone lies.
True love is more painful than it is pleasurable.
Friendship is the only burden people desire.
Courage is knowing you’ll fail and doing it anyway.
Comprehension is understanding that you’ll never understand…

Even Scott Perry

I saw a documentary on the death of a boy named Even Scott Perry. I apologize to his family if my writing seems harsh, but I was inspired by his story, and this is just how i feel.


The pews are filled with black. Lines of broken hearts, silent sobs. In the front of the church stands a priest in white, and red. He reads from a book, words of comfort. A boy has died. His family cries. It was a suicide. His funeral, in a Catholic church…such hypocrisy. How can that priest say he is in a better place? He is at peace. He is with the lord and savior. Words of comfort for his family. Lies to himself. In a Catholic church a funeral for a boy who committed suicide. He is in hell that boy, according to this priest, contradicting what he says. According to his Bible, “God’s holy word” condemns that boy for his pain. The pews are filled with black. Lines of broken hearts, and silent sobs. In the air: grief and hypocrisy. As in life, death is not fair.

Change

You know what I was thinking about the other day? I was thinking about change. Our President’s slogan. It is the one thing people are always running from, or looking for. Some say that people never change, but that’s only reflected in the bad that people see in each other. Those who have lived life long enough know that of course people change. Everything changes. Be it good or bad, you can wake up in the morning and count on nothing being as it was the day before. We live in a perpetual Wonderland, and each one of us the Alice of our world. The change we see, the change in us and around us, is inevitable. No matter how hard you try, in one way or another, you and everyone you love will be hurt. You will feel pain you never knew existed. You will struggle for things that should come easily. And, more often than not, you’ll find that hope, something born in all people, is constantly destined for disappointment. But, it’s just change. You can’t stop it, so accept it.
