These are their stories

and mine.

Dedicated to the friends who are under the weather and you, you, you, you, you who could hit it off.

unearth your own story...

1.

Life is a journey,
not a destination,
there are no mistakes,
just chances we have taken
Lay down your regrets 'cause all we have is now.

2.

Love does not fail for you when you are rejected or betrayed or apparently not loved. 

Love fails for you when you reject, betray, and do not love.

3.

Sometimes in my tears i drown

but i never let it get me down

So when negativity surrounds

i know someday it'll turn around

you  need to swim on shore yourself

4.
Do you want me to tell you something really subversive?

Love is everything it's cracked up to be. 

That's why people are so cynical about it. . . . 

It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. 

And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more.

5.

Hey, what others think of us would be of little moment did it not, when known, so deeply tinge what we think of ourselves. Other people’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality. be it your family, your peers or your classmate who are trying to tear down your self-esteem. Don't let them be! Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner's manual your creator gave you and destroying your design.

6.

Life is a challenge not a competition
you can still smell the roses and be on a mission
Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart
Sometimes you feel like you have got something to prove
remind yourself that theres only one you
Just take a moment to give thanks of who you are.

7.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not.

8.

you thought you have forgotten

you thought you have let it go

yet, there's something about her emerges out of nowhere

be it a photograph or a facebook status

and the suppressed sentiment hidden inside your deep heart's core

swells up through your every veins and hit you in the brain

Dang! she's always hidden there somewhere...

9.

Stand tall on your ground. there's always somebody who tries to tear you down. make you feel bad about yourself. make you feel trivial. make you feel you are never good enough. The truth is, that somebody is nobody. Tell him to fuck off 'cause you live your own life. and no one deserves no one. you don't ask if they deserve you, but whether you deserve them!

10.

you can make it through the rain

you can stand up once again, on your own

and you know you are strong enough to mend

and everytime you feel afraid, you hold tighter to your faith

and you live one more day

and you make it through the RAIN

11.

"Doubt fucks everything. Take a foundation, no matter how strong, sprinkle generously with doubt, and watch it crumble. Me? I'm unfuckwithable. Not this knee, not bad weather, and certainly not the many men that wish bad intentions on me can stop me."

12.

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, 

but what is the most painful is to love someone 

and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.

Holly Homosexuality: Letter to Dr. Laura

Warning: Not for any die-hard Christian or Homophobe!

Dr. Laura Schlessinger - a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show, The Dr. Laura Program. In 2000, she said that as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by an east coast resident, which was posted on the internet in case you've not come across it. It's funny as well as informative in it's own way:

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:

1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath.. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know youhave studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your devoted fan,

Jim
