"Professor Johnston often said that

if you didn't know history, you didn't know anything.

You were a leaf that didn't know it was part of a tree."

We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past
And in the caverns of tomorrow
With just our flashlights and our love
We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge

And then we’ll get down there, way down to the very bottom of everything
And then we’ll see it, oh we’ll see it, we’ll see it, we’ll see it

Oh my morning's coming back
The whole world’s waking up
All the city buses swimming past
I’m happy just because
I found out I am really no one

At The Bottom of Everything-Bright Eyes

"So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth, These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf, Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in, Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything, Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel, Tear up the book and write your own damn rules, Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got, And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut, And realise that the other world that you're always looking for, Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door, And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas, After all, you were put on the earth to do this, So shine your light so bright that all can see, Take pride in being whoever the fuck you want to be, Throw your fist in the air in solidarity, And shout "Viva la punk, just one life, anarchy"

"What is family? They were the people who claimed you. In good, in bad, in parts or in whole, they were the ones who showed up, who stayed in there, regardless. It wasn't just about blood relations or shared chromosomes, but something wider, bigger. We had many families over time. Our family of origin, the family we created, and the groups you moved through while all of this was happening: friends, lovers, sometimes even strangers. None of them perfect, and we couldn't expect them to be. You can't make any one person your world. The trick was to take what each could give you and build your world from it."- Sarah Dessen, Lock and Key

I feel so content right now.
Everything is great! :)

Realise Something.

2010-06-22T09:41:00.000-07:00

"Realise something. We are all tiny,smidges of people living together,working together,protecting tiny connections we have with one another. But these connections are bending. Like paper cups on strings,some people are fragile people. They may not admit it,but they are. Yet, you are the scissors that cannot stop, constantly cutting,prodding,probing,splitting. When the strings become frayed,and your own paper cup falls to the ground,our strings will be tied together. And you will have no one,but your own scissor-y words,cutting into your memory of what you said,what you did,what you have done."

Hate is a strong word,but I really really really don't like you.

2010-06-13T09:38:00.000-07:00

Your sweet moonbeam, The smell of you in every single dream I dream, I knew when we collided, You're the one I have decided Who's one of my kind.

“You can never tell what people are thinking and feeling unless they tell you, and usually they lie.
you ask them, ‘Whats wrong?’ and they say ‘Nothing’. You accept this because it’s easier than digging for the truth. People smile when they want to cry, they laugh when they want to scream and shout. They pretend like nothing is wrong because they don’t want to face the truth. Things aren’t always rainbows and butterflies, sometimes you gotta scream and cry your anger and sadness to the world, because you can only hold it in for so long before something in you snaps. so when you want to cry, cry. When you want to scream, scream. Don’t hide behind fake smiles, it’s ok to not be alright.”

"These streets are old,they shine

With the things I've known

And breaks through the trees,they're sparkling

Your world is nothing more than

All the tiny things you've left behind".

Dear Body,

Dear Body,
Here's a few things I think we should work on together. Me,you,Brain,and Heart are a great team so let's work on the flaws,okay? :)

1. Mariam is too clumsy. We need to make her accident-proof so that she uses her eyes and can tell when there's a box in front of her which she could trip up on and then fall flat on her face.
2. She needs to wake up earlier more often! Sunday is the Fundraiser which means waking up at 10,getting ready,and dishing out strawberries dipped in chocolate. It also means she'll be able to have more fun with her friends and laugh at her teachers.
3. She needs to focus on her Surah Mulk and her book. The book's nearly finished though,and she tells us that she finds it really easy. She says all the things are ready in her head to write,so that's good. Mulk is two pages,so that's pretty easy for her.
4. Mariam must put up the pictures of her family and friends up on her wall and have fun in her own room! She even has a little roof to sit on when she opens the window. This is a brilliant place for her to write.

I think that covers everything now,so have fun and we're all here for you. :)

Love, Conscience

Ps: Brain and Heart say hello!

"It's just that...I just think that some things are meant to be broken.
Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is."

I wonder.

2010-04-15T11:33:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I wonder why I do things. Why it's always me- a tiny silver needle caught in a haystack whilst time ticks on,leaving me behind so I'm merely a shadow of a good intention. And then I look around, and I'm found. Because I like being unpredictable,dynamic,jumping into things with both feet. I like being open. Being like...like an answer. And even though people don't always like that type of person, I like the fact that it pays off. In a weird way. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I do things to be nice...but sometimes I wonder why- when the outcome is so wrong. -- Sam Franco.

It was You that invented bombs, and the fear that comes with them

And it was You that invented money, and the corrupt economic systems
You invented terms like just-war and terms like friendly fire
And it was You that didn’t know when to stop digging deeper, when to stop building higher
It was You that exhausted the resources I carefully laid out on this earth,
And it was You that even saw these problems coming but accredited them little worth
It was You that used my teachings for your own personal gain
And it was You that committed such tragedies, even though they were in my name

So I apologize for any mistakes I made, and when my words misconstrued
But this apology’s to mother nature, cause I created YOU

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

Yasmina:"Do you know what I hate,Sam?"
Sam: "No,but I'm sure you're going to tell me."
Yasmina:"The fact that all this girls weep about their hearts being 'broken',when really,we know it's just a little crack. Sometimes,it isn't even that and they're confused,teased by their lust. I wish they could wake up, and realise something."
Sam:"And what's that?"
Yasmina:"When your heart 'breaks',your brain doesn't stop working."

Holding Hands with Happiness

2010-03-15T10:35:00.001-07:00

Everytime I'm happy,I always wonder what's going to make me unhappy next. Then I get so paranoid,I cause my own unhappiness and I start to stress out.

When you understand that what you're telling is just a story. It isn't happening anymore. When you realize the story you're telling is just words, when you can just crumble it up and throw your past in the trashcan, then we'll figure out who you're going to be.

I DID IT.

Today was my Mod 1 Maths exam and I'm pretty sure I did okay in it. Everyone guessed on the last question and I only made one little mistake,so I think I'll be okay.

NOW I CAN FORGET EVERYTHING I LEARNT ABOUT MATHS. :D

I'm not going to let a single moment obscure reality.
