The stars never deceive the people who know.

Nature, beauty, order, life.

Close to the end of the alphabet,

as Mr. Ramsey would say.

The stars never deceive the people who live.

Despit meaningless opinions.

Far from normalcy,

because other's words won't change.

The stars never deceive the people who love.

Unconditionally, until eternity.

No matter the pains or the

hardships or times.

The stars never decieve the people who's soul.

Knows no bounds.

None other than time,

And until then, will glow.

We're given pills to take and told the chemicals will cure. But why not the sun? Why not the water? Why not the natural food which grows so plentifully from the ground? Why do artificial compounds enter our bodies with such open acceptance, and the fruits of life get disregarded with irrelevance?

We have the tendency to take the pill, to agree, to conform. But why? Do we ever ask ourselves the reason for our actions? Question the consequences of our haste? Or do we seek the short term and the instant gratification?

Too many people's lives depend on other's opinions. Too many people's health depend on chemicals. Too many people's decision depend on the opinions of others. Take back your life; you will have to think for yourself, and you will have to work for yourself. But do not be scared, you will also live for yourself.

Dear Mrs. Seldin,

I know its been a few years. But I want to hear from you. I know you're not the same woman on the dock I knew, but you have never failed to mystify.

I am calling because of the times. The disease has gotten worse, and I do not know how long I'll be able to remember you. I want to reach out before I no longer can. I would be happy to meet you half way in the coming weeks if possible, but if you can't, I understand.

Regardless of what happened, I want to reach out, and touch base with everyone I can. Do you remember what happened to my dad? All of those people came after he passed and they had no one to talk to but me. I felt sick those days, like I was gone too. They talked to me like I had gone too, like speaking to a casket-- no one expects an answer back. Thank you again for being there for me.

The cycle will continue-- please do not speak to my son as you'd talk to a corpse. He looks alive and very well. I appreciate your time, and I hope we can meet again, no matter the circumstances you will always be in my heart.

Sincerely,

Yours

Farewell my star. I hope I see you in the morning but nothing stays guarunteed until the test of time proves history.

Soon one of us will fail to rise, because neither can stand the test of time. The test eveyone lives but no one passes; the test meant for only for divinity.

Until we pass the test, me and you can still be what I need you to be, and if you need me to stay, I’ll stay for as long as time will let me.

Thank you for the courage. The courage I cannot see but I know empowers.

When I can stop the time I’ll do everything. Only then we know I’ll always see you in the morning.

I know I've been acting strange. I know the world has been getting rearranged. I know you think we are getting old. I know we don't have much to go. But you cannot lose hope.

Without you the boat sinks, the army retreats, and the war desists.

Without you the fuel runs out, the headlights burn out, the road stays untraveled.

Without you our bridge has one end, the roads will never mend, the sun will set.

Without you the song stays unsung, the chords will never ring, the spirit will sink.

Without the end there will be no success nor reward. Like black or white, we can never stop here until here means the end, the finish line ahead, and the goals we set. So don't stop at the first sign of danger, don't stop at the interference, struggle, or barrier. You have gone this far in our beautiful war, our faithful car, our symbolic bridge, and our heartful song; don't stop until you reach the end.

Please believe me when I say my antic disposition will not be in vain. The world will always be ever-changing. Time will never slow down. But matter how much we have to go, you cannot lose hope.

We display courage everyday, and we are build ourselves like a foundation for the beautiful building of a lifetime. We aren't structurally sound, shatter-proof, or weather resistant. But we are architecturally unimaginable, and we are the most beautiful creation on the planet. So I don't mind getting destroyed now and then. In fact, I feel honored to rebuild myself back up.

The pit of my stomach falls when I see some people. Never people I know; just people I want to know. The people with just the right charisma, or stride, or eyes, which make me want to be with them. They pass by me on the street or in the lobby and I want to stop them-- just to know their name. I would compliment their shirt or tell them I hope they have a wonderful day, and I suppose don't need anything else.

Why would I? Shouldn't I be grateful for the friends and the family I have? The logical answer would be yes. The grace of being, and having the opportunity of experiencing the pit in my stomach should be enough. I don't need more than what I have. But other answers appear in my head when I see the right person. With a simple glance, they can have the potential to throw my entire day off. How ignorant and selfish of me to let them.

You don't feel wanted, do you?

You feel like something more exists than this-- something more than the life you live. You think to yourself: "This can't be for nothing". You grow up thinking people always live for something, so why don't you? Have you found your something? Or are you lost, beyond recovery? You feel lost, no matter how far you have searched. You feel helpless, like you could scream at the top of your lungs and nobody would hear.

But that's okay. You're not alone and they feel lost too. The only thing that matters: to never stop searching. When they speak to you, trust they mean what they say. When they look upon you, trust in their eyes without deception. When they touch you, trust in their embrace, and believe it is real. Trust me when I say you are loved, and I want you to feel your "something".

This isn't for nothing.
