To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight. And never stop fighting." -e.e. cummings

Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace
Sometimes i feel like i have everything figured out like i know what to expect from certain people, certain things, certain situations. what happens when your expectations are short lived? You are left to wonder what might have gone wrong, what changed? things change, people change i know that but i feel like sometimes people change and they forget to tell others. you are left wondering what to do, who to run to, who to talk to, what to say, what to think. There are days that things go as you expected, other days they take a complete 360 turn. i seem to have no days going my way lately.Trying to think what I've done wrong. Trying to figure out where i am going, what I am planning to do. Have you ever had this feeling that everyone around you is happier, different .. but you are just the same, still standing waiting to see what happens, waiting to see what the day has in store for you. I have given up on anticipating for things, getting excited over things that probably will end up disappointing me. I try to live life like a game, if you play your cards right you come out alive. I don't write this blog to give people advice or encouragement, I write what i feel, what goes on in my life. It is the only way i can be honest to myself and others around me. It's like i can't express my feelings in words. You might not understand me .. but i understand myself, at least i think i do. I am looking for that clarity, that hope that sometimes comes in the most peculiar ways, that confirmation that everything's going to be alright. I am trying too look for happiness, i hope it finds me.

THE SAME DEEP WATERS AS YOU.
My name is Grace, you might know that or you might not. i like a lot of things, but i also dislike quite a number of things. people always ask me if i hate certain people .. my answer is always "no HATE is a strong word lets say maybe i dislike certain people" i use the word dislike just because HATE sounds so crude and heartless. sometimes you wonder what leads you to certain feelings like this. maybe its a person's actions, words behavior. they say that we should embrace and pray for our enemies but its really not that easy. when you think back on the things that lead you to this type of feelings in the first place you find it hard to find forgiveness in your heart.i don't like having enemies, if i had a choice i wouldn't have any, but thats the thing, we don't choose if we want to have enemies, they just happen just like friends do. well i live in a small world i guess we all do. your life might be something like mine or maybe nothing like it but either way we go through almost the same things. we have all made bad decisions before. we regret things at least i do. ya know every great mistake has a halfway moment,a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied. this is true and all but if you think about it, sometimes a bad thing happens just to pave way for the good things to happen.
