What the media says

In our generation we are constantly bombarded by all sorts of media that says we have to look a certain way or be someone were not.
We constantly allow ourselves to be influenced by the changing trends around us and we seem to loose track of who we want to be and who we actually are.
Beauty among all things is one of the most controversial topics covered by the media.
What a person defines as true beauty has been influenced greatly by the media.
The media reflects an image of what is believed to be true beauty, when in reality the media's views and beliefs shouldn't necessarily be your own.
In my opinion your only as beautiful as you allow yourself to be.
 If we rely on media to make our every decisions whether it be on fashion, things to buy or whatever it maybe, than were portraying their image not our own.
As an individual we should  making our own decisions and ultimately based off those decisions that we make reflect who we want to be.

The invisible Wall

I walk across an empty land leaving only footsteps behind.
I knew this pathway as if it was my destiny.
As I take each step a vague but distant memory draws me closer to a greater understanding of my life.
But I get to the point where I want to turn around and go back to where I came from but I can't it almost as if there is this invisible wall preventing me from turning back to my past.
This gave me a chance to reflect upon my life as I continued to walk.
 I began to realize that the invisible wall symbolized something more than just a barrier, but rather a foundation in which I've built my life around.
All throughout my life I've had a numerous amounts of failures but also I have achieved success.
In a way my life centers around my achievements and it was my pride and respect that gave me the willingness to achieve and gave me determination to climb my way up the latter to success.

I'll be there

When the light of day fades away I'll be there.
When you need a friend the most I'll be there every step of the way.
When you become old and gray I'll be there.
You wont ever have to worry about a thing because I'll be there holding you tight and never letting you go.

Summertime

Take a moment and close your eyes and reflect upon your school year.
Ask yourself did I do the very best I could do or could I have done better?
As summer approaches ones endeavors are lessened and ones mind tends to wander off into oblivion.
But needless to say no one wants to put in that extra effort when summer roles around which I don't blame you for not wanting to.
Summer is a time to relax and take a break from life's demands.
It's a time where you can truly be yourself and do what you want when you want.

Reading and Writing

Reading and writing are fundamentals parts our lives that we can't avoid.
Reading is like opening a window it allows us to see beyond the text and out into the world beyond.
Writing on the other hand allows us to formulate all of our thoughts into a common basis and share that knowledge with the world around us.
When reading and writing work together they open a window of opportunity allowing us to see reality in a whole new perspective.

A lone man's story

Writing is like a lone man's journey at first he is uncertain of where his footsteps will take him.
He has a beginning, but no middle or end.
He is like a kite entangled in branches.
Each branch symbolizes parts of his childhood and only by putting the pieces that are unclear together does he begin to untangle the kite from the branches.
As he continues to walk he comes to a fork in the road, each road leads down a different pathway that will ultimately determine what will happen to him.
This is his climax, his turning point either pathway that he could take will have a different resolution and each resolution will affect him for the better or for the worst.
His fate lies ahead of him which path he'll take is really all up to chance and his willingness to achieve.

A writers mind

When I was younger I kept a journal and I wrote down random thoughts. I never really thought much of writing until I showed my teacher Mr.Wolfman and from that moment on writing became a major part of my life. At first I was skeptical whether or not my writing was good or not and if I were to start writing more often whether people would actually read what I wrote. I began to start a writing journal where I put down ideas and as time went by I started to forum those ideas into poems and short stories.

When I first started to write my ideas where rather vague and incomplete and I wasn't quite sure if I was going to keep writing. But then one day this idea popped into my head that I'd start writing about different experiences that I've gone through and how I dealt with them. To be perfectly honest most of the things I write about didn't actually happen to me a lot of things that I write about are experiences I've heard about from others. This type of writing I enjoy the most and I plan to continually write about it in the coming future.

Often times when I look back at my older pieces of writing I can't believe that I actually wrote it, a lot of the times when I write it's not till after that I realize the full meaning of my writing. It's like if you ever been concentrating on getting something done and you want the best possible outcome without realizing the full potential of your work. I just tend to see past what I write often times. I'm not quite sure why but perhaps its just because I'm so deep within my thought process that I forget what I'm doing.

Ultimately when I write I like to bring the reader into my imagination, I don't want it to be something boring but rather something enticing, something that connect with the audience. Granted sometimes I do write for older audience's but that's besides the point. My goal is to provide a variety of different types of content that interests a variety of audiences.

Many people ask me how I come up with things to write about and there is really no definite answer sometimes I'm inspired by an event that occurs in my life other times it's just the spur of the moment but what ever I do write about has a significant meaning to me. The most I've ever spent on a single piece of writing is a little bit over a month, but typically I usually have an outline of a poem or short story written with a half hour or forty five minutes. Writing is my life and without it I'd be a much different person than I am today. Writing has opened up a door way into my future what will the future of my writing be? Well I'll just have to wait and see where it takes me.
