The name of a Legend

A name given by the gods,

A name worthy of applause,

A name worthy of love,

A name with a cause,

You may never know who you are,

But you were chosen from the stars,

You will be a legend among our kind,

We will await your return,

For you will save us from those afar.

Why, why, why

Did the beacon of hope in my eyes die?

Is there nothing left in my life?

Did I lose everything, will I die?

Why oh why did the beacon in my eyes die?

Is there nothing to hold onto?

Am I meant to die?

The fog in my eyes are telling me its time,

the light wont shine through,

im a ship lost at sea, bound to sink.

Why did the beacon of hope in my eyes have to die.

Blink

“Blink”, a skill one could say. The average person will see the action “blink” is simple and natural, something everyone has. But looking closer blink is much more, blink is to decide to miss the events occurring in time, present time which before blinking is the future, so really one is decides to miss a small portion of the future, collectively adding up to a large quantity of time. During these intervals of blinking distances are increased and decreased somethings completely changed while others left untouched. To blink is a skill of a time traveler, to be able to determine when to blink and how to blink (how fast or slow and the frequency) so that you only skip portions of time that are unnecessary to help create a better future and stopping potential mistakes from the present to become mistakes of the past. In the end this trivial matter of blinking is more than just moisturizing ones eyes but instead to ignore events in the present and future which become the past yet in the end may have little impact on ones future but for a small handful could change their future but in still a trivial matter which we should not be concerned about.

I just love being an emotional wreck after an anime, sort of like the one Your lie in April left me, any other animes that will leave me in the same or similar state?

[commonpaperbag]

Not going to lie, the anime "Your lie in April" made me cry for a good 10 min, oddly refreshing and touching. At first a bitter sad heart wrenching moment that slowly becomes a joyful touching ending.

Coffee shop

You used to be sacred, Newspaper on the table, A small black coffee, The soft music in the background, What have you become? Serving these trendy lattes, Foam on the coffee, News on the tv, Indie music playing all day. You were special, I may not be hip, I'm quite old fashioned, You were the last thing I had to hold on to, One last breath of the coffee, One last cup of joe, One last goodbye, Before the future erases the beauty of the past.

Happiness

Difficult to explain and much more difficult to accept yet with a simple "Hello there" brightens the mood bringing happiness to ones day and realizing the world isn't full of misery truly makes one feel they owe others I'm probably making a miracle out of a simple kind gesture But I can't help but think I want someone else to feel that way.

Red beanie

I saw her in her red beanie, at first I dismissed her, but slowly we were pushed together as outsiders of a group, naturally outsiders (aka us) were forced to create a group, since then small exchanges of smiles and teases started to make me pay attention, you were beautiful, your smile was perfect and your voice was mesmerizing, we could never meet again and I would still be glad I met you, your smile gave me joy, your sadness hurt me but in the end your presence made me happy.

A little advice

All these new couples walking around all in love, let me give you some advice from a single persons perspective. Firstly they involve lots of communication about the tiniest things, now this may seem very simple at first, that is until someone gets annoyed by something trivial once that occurs, may the lord have mercy upon your souls. Emotions are something that can never be suppressed because at one point at another it will come out, it's better to talk about all the problems right off the bat, it's better to go to sleep without any quarrels than to have them become brawls in the future. The only thing more annoying than a small discussion about a trivial problem is better than and argument weeks later about a trivial problem. Besides discussing problems it is important that you always tell your partner about anything that bring you down. Why? Because believe it or not they care enough about you to the point where they are considering you as a potential long term partner so it's good to be supportive of one another in your times of need right from the start this also means be supportive of their dreams and decisions even if you hate the idea, as long as it's illegal, waste of income, dangerous or has a high risk with little gain or high risk in general. It is also highly recommended that you always express your joy and happiness. Of course all of the mentioned above have a time and place when one should share them. Secondly we have investment. That's right you are investing when you are in a relationship. I'm not talking about giving expensive gifts to get in their pants, I'm talking about investing time, money and being emotionally invested. If before you had a lot of empty time on your hands, expect some of that time to be taken up by this new relationship, for those who frequently did things either for work, school, socializing or other pass times get ready to sacrifice some things you do for your relationship, you can probably continue doing everything you used to do, but expect to do some less frequently. While your spending time with your partner expect to invest money in the relationship, dinner, gas and other commodities aren't free so make sure you have some cash for when you decide to go on dates or decide to socialize outside the home. Lastly in investments there are emotions, you are making yourself vulnerable when you date someone, it's expected that you and your partner become intimate so you will put your emotions out there where they may or may not be collateral. Be prepared but don't avoid becoming intimate because that will damage the relationship ending the same if you had placed your emotions out there. Thirdly and most importantly don't be an assholes. Don't be that annoying couple that ruins everything for others who were kind enough to invite the both of you to a social gathering, also don't ruin other people's days by being overly displaying affection, we single people start to feel sad and lonely because we have emotions as well. Remember most things are good in moderation. Also never invite a single person as a third wheel, that's just cruel.

Afraid

Found this little piece of trash in my junk box in my brain, I'll probably come back and make it better when I have the time. At night we laugh and play while we curse the light of day. We wake at sundown an sleep at daybreak, anything to avoid living. Living terrifies us, first there are the "living" which I shall decide into three different factions the most common are which make use of their lives by being productive and enjoying the life they have with all the struggles and bumps in the road; Those we envy and hate we wonder how can they live their lives so enjoyably while we suffer from anxiety, depression, insecurity and so on. The next faction are vial creatures who take out their emotion on others, their only task is to hurt everyone around them and make life a living hell for their own personal gain, and at night they sleep like babies without giving what they have done a second thought. Lastly we have the third faction, do gooders, all they ever want to do is help, which is great and all, but sometimes they try to help you too much, and end up making one hate themselves for not wanting to help one self. How on earth are we supposed to deal with these people if we can't even tell who belongs to what group? We aren't physiologists! Now let's move on to what is truly a monster, emotions. They are nothing but trouble, all they do is stick their noses in where they don't belong and cause anxiety, insecurity and make one pity themselves. If they acted like movie villains who attacked one at a time it would be great but when they attack something sure hits the fan and creates a storm, a concoction of everything you fear and just smacks you in the face like driving a motorcycle into a brick wall at 100mph. That is why we laugh and play at night, because at night the "living are sleeping, emotions are silent and only those like ourselves come to play. We are part of the living but we rather live at night when all is silent.

Linked by a single interest, A small insignificant interest which connect two very different worlds. Oddly enough the small link slowly caused small talk and developed into analysis and conversations and now they slowly develop into emotions which will never be erased, permanently etched into my memory.

Best used by

It really sucks having some of your closest friends just completely leave your life within days, not as in they moved or just got busy but everything is the same besides the whole communicating and hanging out. You don’t know if your shitty personality finally annoyed them or if one or both of you have changed just enough where the friendship no longer works. I guess friendships are like food, they have a best sold by date and a best used by date.

Just another bad day.
