rents philosophy

My mom has always taught me to put others into consideration before I made a judgment call. To think for others along with myself when it came down to decision time. She believes that gods or no gods helping people and living a “good” life is the way to go. However, she often warned me of helping people, saying “The first time someone makes a mistake you help them up because they don’t know better, the second time they make the same mistake you help them up because they are your friends. If it happens again, you should consider making new friends because they rely on you to get them out of trouble, it is no longer helping but spoiling, don’t stunt their growth. When they have learned maybe you could become friends again. She also told me to be careful of who I helped and to make sure to know the type of person I am helping, not to get taken advantage of. The world is full of evil she said and evil puts on a smile and a mask. The main thing she has been stressing lately is however the idea that each person only has a set amount of “play” and “fun” either you work hard and enjoy later in life, or you play now and work hard your later life.

My Philosophy

What is the life you have lived and what does it really mean to you and the people around you? If you died today... what would your legacy be?


Think before you act.


When life gives you lemons, find a kid with a paper cut.


Some things are just meant to be... maybe we could all use a little bit of time off to think to ourselves. People won't change for you because you want them to... maybe it's time we be the first to change. Change for the better, for the good for the good of the common. Time and time again it might come back to bite you in the butt but what can you do? I have bumped heads unutterably and unswervingly with any and everything. Change, I guess it's time we all take a step back and see the effects of our timeless struggle and ponder back at the path chosen and taken. Is it as righteous as we believe? Or is it a sheer imagination of what we wish it could be, what we want it to be.
If we could all just take a step back, maybe we would not hurt as many as we did. Take a step back, change, and walk tall. Next time you say something think about the people it will affect and the effect it will leave. Take care of the people around you and you will prosper.


I've always had this idea that love is suppose to last forever. But love isn't like that. It’s a free-flowing energy that comes and goes when it pleases. Sometimes it stays for a life; other times it stays for a second, a day, a month, or a year. So don't fear love when it comes simply because it makes you vulnerable but don't be surprised when it leaves, either. Just be glad you had the opportunity to experience it.
