Part I
Why do we try to act so brave,
When we're a broken puzzle that's left to be saved?
Just how are we supposed to piece ourselves together,
When we're only being held together by the words "it's okay?"
Next to me is time that runs forever.
Is it just me, or am I the only one who can't be changed?

Part II
I've broken down too many times.
Would you care to listen sometime?
I've wasted too many tears on sleepless nights,
Even though people have told me it's not alright.
It's always been "stay strong and fight through it.
Hide your fears because you're weak if you show it."
But at the end of the day, I can't keep it in.
Can I start over? Where do I begin?

Part III
It's okay to show weakness, because no one's perfect in the end.
Don't build a tough wall around yourself, because you know it's all just for pretend.
Ripping ourselves to pieces, simply being torn to shreds,
Stop being self-conscious of what others have said.
You're so much more than what's going on inside your head.

It's never too late to start over.
It's never too late to start now.
Even though it seems impossible.
Even if we don't know how.
It's okay to be afraid of change.
It's okay to make mistakes.
Life is a game of trial and error.
It'll take more than one day to make that change.

Hey everyone!

As many of you guys have seen, my website has been undergoing some changes since I first started my blog. Recently, I moved all my quotes and poems under one tab so you can find them all in one place. The next thing I did was add the "mylife" tab. From now on, this is where I will be sharing my more personal experiences and going into more detail about how I'm working to overcome some mental challenges I struggle with in my daily life. There are two goals that I want to achieve through this: find techniques to build the strong positive mindset I aspire to have and help others facing similar difficulties who need support or encouragement to get through them. Feel free to share your experiences, struggles, failures, and successes if you feel that any of my words resonate with you. I hope that sharing a slice of my life can help others realize that everyone has their ups and downs, but what matters most is continuing each day with a positive mindset and a strong will to overcome what we're facing. I like to think that adventures start with a leap of faith, then progress one step at a time.
