We all want to know what its like to lose control and reaching the very edge of your own consciousness can be an enlightening and awakening experience. However, it should be general knowledge that boundaries and physical limits exist for a reason. The human body is a fragile organism and unfortunately there are too many different and exciting ways to lose your mind. Our psyches are warped, twisted, and bent by the stimuli of this chaotic world and our stability hinges on our rationality and the logic of our thought processes.
There are limits. You should not pass them. We have a responsibility to ourselves and the people close to us to maintain that stability. It requires a two-way social interaction where advice is both given and received. This balance is the difference between ignorance and wisdom, chaos and control, insanity and happiness.
Love life and strive to become an integral part of the experiences that make up our short existence. We must remember the past and build upon our successes and recognize our mistakes. One of the biggest problems in the world is the ability of most people to ignore or escape reality.
Three things I am taking away from my experiences in the past week.
1. Never ever forget who you are and where you came from. How can you possibly exist in the future if you lose yourself along the way.
2. Take care of your mind and body. They are the most important and useful tools we possess.
3. Don't ever discount your friends and family. They oftentimes care for you more than you care for yourself.
There is no substitute for real happiness and simple pleasures often end up being the most important so use life to become a competent, happy, and complete person. Take the lessons we learn in life and apply them; be a stronger person than you were yesterday.
Look towards the future, live in present, take pride in the past.

Existence a vault
ReplyDeleteIn which I deposit my time.
Giving up life
To taste the sublime.
To see you an instant
Reliving the past
Every first
Is destined a last.
Beyond our beliefs
In knowing our good
We'll always remain
So misunderstood.
When the vaults open,
returning my loss,
An emptiness lays
Reinforcing the cost.
I wrote this poem a couple weeks ago. Same ideas behind it. All of the important things in life stem from your self and your own perception. When you lose those, you lose your reason for living.
Never forget what you wrote here. They're words to live by.
