I want someone to love me
For who I am
I want someone to need me
Is that so bad?
I want to break all the madness
But it's all I have
I want someone to love me
For who I am
Yes. I do realize that those are lyric from Nick Jonas. And, yes, I do not like him very much - to be honest, I can't stand him - but the lyrics are great. And I think it was a cry of distress from him.
Fame and fortune. Everyone wants it. Everyone thinks that it's something and amazing and fantastic and that it's the perfect life. Wrong. It's not. I've come to realize that, but I didn't always. TMZ stalks people - a lot. I would hate to have that. Sure, I'd love to have people love me, worship the ground I walk on, and even send me free things. (Ha.) But there is more to life than just fame and fortune.
I read a book a year ago called "Still Growing" by Kirk Cameron. It's an amazing read and I suggest you get it. For those who don't know, Kirk was the star of the 80s sitcom, Growing Pains. He was a teen heart throb for many years, and in the book he tells how his fame has affected him today. He talks about all of the crazy things that happened, and how many screaming fans he had to endure. He also talks about his walk with God, which is an amazing story.
Back to Nick Jonas' lyrics... The Jonas Brothers are still really popular - even though there's that Justin Bieber kid out there. The Jonas Brothers have endured a lot of stress and have really pulled through. But, in all honesty, I would think that they're kind of upset or hurting inside. They love their fans, sure, but do their fans love them for them or love them for their fame, music, and fortune?
My final thought: What is love? Is it the love of someone, or the love of something?
Peace,

You Can't Always Get What You Want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need
That's what Glee sang to the audience as their finale number at sectionals. The more I thought about that song, the more I realized it to be true. The song is now stuck in my head, and I have memorized it. It is so evident, and so true to life today.
For example, the whole Conan O'Brien vs. Jay Leno thing on NBC. I'm glad it's finally settled, because it was seriously annoying. Everyone everywhere was "Are you Team Conan?" or "What are your thoughts on Jay Leno?". Seriously, STOP IT. The situation (no Jersey Shore pun intended) has been laid to rest. End of story.
Life is not fair. We are faced with decisions every day. Some things people want, and some things people need. There is a difference between the two. To want something is to feel the need have something. You want to have it. To need something is to be desperate for. Major difference between the two.
Equality is not perfect. Not everyone sees how everyone is equal to everyone else. God created man equal. He made no one better than anyone else, not even the President of the United States. Just because people think they are better than you, doesn't mean they are. They have no better rights than you. People may treat them differently, but, in reality, they are wanting attention - sometimes like you.
Success is something we should strive for. The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary. Work for things you want. It will pay off. Shoot for the stars, because, even if you miss, you'll be amoing the stars.
Ignore the people who are spoiled. They will hurt you in the end. America, we have a lot of work to do.
Peace,

Lyrics...
Song lyrics always make me happy. I'd like to share my favorite song lyrics as of this moment. Enjoy.
Where do I go
Follow the river
Where do I go
Follow the gulls
Where is the something
Where is the someone
That tells me why I live and die
Where do I go
Follow the children
Where do I go
Follow their smiles
Is there an answer
In their sweet faces
That tells me why I live and die
Follow the wind song
Follow the thunder
Follow the neon in young lovers' eyes
Down to the gutter
Up to the glitter
Into the city
Where the truth lies
Where do I go
Follow my heartbeat
Where do I go
Follow my hand
Where will they lead me
And will I ever
Discover why I live and die
Why do I live (beads, flowers)
Why do I die (freedom, happiness)
Tell my why (beads, flowers)
Tell me where (freedom, happiness)
Tell my why (beads, flowers)
Tell me why (freedom!)
<3
Where do I go

Is there an answer

Where the truth lies
Where do I go
Follow my heartbeat
Where do I go

Where will they lead me
And will I ever
Discover why I live and die
Why do I live (beads, flowers)
Why do I die (freedom, happiness)
Tell my why (beads, flowers)
Tell me where (freedom, happiness)
Tell my why (beads, flowers)
Tell me why (freedom!)
