This is the kind of the world we Live in Theres the light and the dark in this world. A lot of this world is made from Indoctrination not a lot of people try to expand their knowledge or look at different perspectives. I have met a very small amount of people who are different. The good may be disguised as bad. Im grateful to even have an opportunity to have a life on this earth b/c I have no true Idea where Im going next. The bad is beautiful there’s beauty in the struggle. the world is losing Its humbleness but a lot of us are becoming aware. You gotta mind your business and protect your soul and energy. you don’t got no one but yourself-watch your own back.
I feel so weightless in space and I seen Megan da Stallion doing the race She was clutching a brief case filled with heels she bought yesterday I love this chick so much because she has such a pretty face.
My freshman year. Playing baseball for tiffin Columbian. I had never really played at all that year, just wasnt as talented than some other people at the time. But our coach put me first at bat, top of the order, our very last game. So I remember distinctly I took my friends baseball bat it was a Louisville, and I went up. The pitcher threw a changeup and I just absolutely cranked it into left field, I remember it bounced and hit the fence, and I just kept sprinting. I ended up getting a triple, and playing a lot more after that.
I come from a home where holding together A healthy relationship was like trying to Carry water with only bare hands I come from friends the age of my Older sisters, which no one approved of I come from a school with metal detectors And staff who silenced the hurt and gone I come from friends who kept drugs and Weapons on them more than phones. I come from an area where going out Alone was punished I come from where fighting and hugging Would go to the same people But I’m going to a better path.
I went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned, afterwards I got to pick a reward and at that moment I seen the ring toss baby game I knew instantly my little sister would love it so that’s what I chose.
1. I will find true happiness soon 2. Steak bowls from Chipotle taste great 3. Show no love, receive no pain
like a bike i go from place to place. it’s always a mystery where i’ll end up. if i start down a hill there really isn’t any way to stop me. All you can really do is jump off. you can give it a paint job or change some parts but it’ll still be the same bike. You can decide to use it or go your own way
Making food Especially when its seasoned good, good songs that I really like the beat to or think are lyrically good, I have a few funny favorite movies too like step brothers, talledega nights, an scary movie 3, trailer park bois, also I like nature alot but lately I forgot about that mainly why I like seasoned food so much is cause it never ah. get old cause you could make anything like 10 different ways, an pair it with 10 other foods an- then you could pair it with a movie thats really funny or whatever an keep those same feelings going on or around some music that you really like an maybe put some music. With a spot in the woods you really like an maybe prolly also find some type of nice peace
