      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Inspirations for the Everyday Life - Nelson Buchanan

      My Friends

      There is nothing like having a great friend and friends. They are the ones who will be there for you until the bitter end. The best part is that when you don’t see them for a long time and when you do it’s like they have been there the whole time. My friends fill these criteria’s and I am happy they are in my life. They aren’t even friends they are my brothers and sister’s family for years. Without my friends I don’t know where I would be if they weren’t there.

      Me and You

      Me and you we both take on the world like superheroes. We do things that people said where impossible. We destroy every negative thing in our way like volcanos. We are both the lights that ignites the fire that tends to get burned out. This has to do with your family and friends or even that person you trust to the bitter end, valued lesson.

      Women in the dress

      Women in the dress you are such a damsel in this dress. I wish I could rescue you because you’re such a damsel in distress. I see you across the room surrounded by a bunch of dudes trying to get into you without getting to know you. Your mind racing, nervous because you want to talk to her but scared thinking she wont like you so instead of going for the rescue you don’t move. Not knowing or having a clue she may want to talk to you and you could be the guy she gives the number to. Take that step in life and even if it doesn’t work out and even she says no hold your head up because that’s a gigantic step, be proud. This lesson has to do with everything in life you are struggling with.

      Moment of Truth

      When I am put in a position I am not worried about losing but learning is my only objective so that I am constantly growing, so eventually I obtain the means to win. Sometimes it is easy to forget which can cause you to feel tired and stressed. When hard work should be enough it can still feel like you’re stuck in a never ending pit of quick sand or mud. If this is a reality and you never really know what to do, how you choose to react will be defined as you moment of truth.

      Things You Can’t Control

      When it comes to circumstances or situations i am like a sponge, constantly absorbing things. Sometimes people feel they need space from other people because they feel like they are in different orbits. Work hard and be happy with who you are even if there is no answer to the question you have or they are not clear. You will be on a whole other level like an elevator while the haters will be stuck constantly taking the stairs, while they are giving hateful stares to the good people doing well.

      Yourself as a Money Vault

      When it comes to certain components of your life you should constantly keep it on lock like a briefcase. Have it kept there locked in a safe in case of a rainy day. My paths and avenues may not have always been the right way but I take time to realize the error of my ways. I always stay grounded even when I am trying to soar, even if you have or haven’t heard this before live your life like a classic because even if you are gone your legacy will live on forever more.

      Tolerance

      The thing about tolerance is that it’s good to have at times but just like when you decide to go drinking it is fun unless you do too much until you get out of control and you do things that you would not normally do. Growing up sometimes you don’t realize that you are letting your tolerance get out of hand because of situations in your life that got switched from something small and minuscule to a big negative. When you get hold of your tolerance it is not something that you can get a handle on overnight it takes a lot of repetitive work and a constant reminder of one’s self but you will find that you will feel a lot better and a lot stronger.

      Decisive and Persistence

      I am not perfect or right all the time but I do what I can. Sometimes the problems in this world are fatal and can weaken you faster than superman and kryptonite. When you are at this point it can cause you to go left instead of doing things right. I may not always see things clearly or get all the right clues but I know the right tools to use like a carpenter and I will definitely build the right vehicle to move.

      Day mares and Night dreams

      Every time you close your eyes you can see everything you want out of you’re life. But then after eight or as many hours you realize the day isn’t quite what you thought it would be like. How you try to fix it is by doing whatever you can without trying to think about what you are doing, then your forever stuck in a day mare. You have to do everything in your power to fight and work hard even when you feel like giving up because that’s how you live out your dreams even when you already have woken up.

      Prayer

      There is nothing more important than prayer. You get motivated from just being a water boy on the sidelines to being the team’s best player. Yes, you may at times find yourself in a struggle, but talking to god will always make you untouchable. This doesn’t mean that you won’t be faced with things you shouldn’t have to deal with, situations that will test your limitations. Everything you do always takes work, but with the right focus Jesus will put you in the right place even if at times it may hurt.

      Emotions

      Emotions are the most important part to your soul. It can determine which way you want to go, whether you have so much drive or if you move slow. Emotions only work when you have control, because if you don’t, that’s where you tend to lose all focus on which way to go. Emotions are strong and they hate labels, it creates expressions of all forms, art, culture and life lessons. Good or bad, emotions are the essentials of wrong and right what makes your passion, decisions ignite or come to light.

      Bully

      Dear Bully,

      What pushed you to that point of being crazy.

      What made you think its ok to hurt someone and to do this daily.

      What made you think its ok to take someone’s lunch money or to write negative things online to crush somebody’s self-esteem. Can you explain that to me? Oh you can’t, which probably means you shouldn’t have had to do that. For anybody that is going through that allowed themselves to be crushed like a soda can never do that, because bullies are scared people so don’t look down on them be better.

      Arrogance and Pride Vs Confidence

      There is nothing wrong with confidence. It helps you when the world constantly tries to bring you down often. The problem is when you become over confident where it turns into arrogance and pride and you start to lose your own conscious. Arrogance and Pride Vs Confidence is the good and evil, its whats wrong and right and the difference between the dark and the light. If you feel like you don’t know the difference and if you feel like you are crossing the line to arrogance always have someone important that you trust to tell you like a family member or friend. You may feel like you have everything, but you can lose it all and have nothing at any moment. Humble yourself.

      Stereotype

      Stereotype the type of music I listen to in my stereo are songs that I like, do what I like so why is that still a crime? Why because I talk right? Tell me why? …. Oh you don’t have an answer for me if not then let me be. The most important thing is growth and maturity, but just because you may have to change and act your age doesn’t mean you have to forget what got you there in the first place.

      Struggle

      Struggle is something that we Dred, but it does happen to even the best of us. It doesn’t only have to do with not having a lot, but what you deal with on a regular basis. Whether you are trying to pay bills on time, rent being to high, and other things that would make your blood pressure high. Now if you haven’t really been through that, be happy and be appreciative, but if you are going through that, it gives you more of a reason to work hard because that is what builds character and integrity. Struggle is hard, but it doesn’t have to be the outcome of who you are.

      Legend

      To be a legend your values have to be unprecedented. You have to see things as opportunities and decisions, or learning experiences, whether it be good or bad. Your work ethic has to outshine, even if there are days you want to stop trying. Your hunger and drive will determine what kind of foods you eat, the car you eventually want to buy, the house, and family you want to also give a try. I am not saying you have to be perfect but if you follow these few examples and you choose to do your best on a regular basis, then you have a right to call yourself a legend.

      Inspiration

      How is it that you are such an inspiration? Is it because you know how to build an empire from your bare hands? Is it because you know to still have a plan even when at the moment it is hard to understand? Is it because you know how to stand up for someone even when they are already kicked down? Well, whatever it is, I can learn a lot from you. You’re an inspiration and that’s something you should carry everywhere you go and in all that you do.

      Attitudes and Superheroes

      I don’t believe in labels or having someone or something define you but if there was one thing that could it definitely would be your attitude. It shows your adaptability and what you do or don’t want to achieve. How you can take a bad situation and look at it like a boxer and say You may have knocked me out in the first round but I chose how the match will turn out. We are all Superheroes in our own way with responsibilities on a day to day basis, the villains constantly are trying to beat us but all we can do is hang tough. When we do that we will win, even if it may take a long time we will taste sweet victory.

      Thoughts Pens and Papers

      With my pen, it is a powerful weapon. When I feel like I am weak,
