Breakthrough

Among all expressions, the one I adore most is the sight of a smile. It is contagious, self-gratifying, best of all, a gift, that is free.


Sometimes I think
Like all I ever do
Is ask for things
Until I ask too much of you
But that's not the way (that's not the way)
I wanna live (I wanna live)
I need to change (I need to change)
But something's got to give
Yeah, something's got to
What brings a smile?

In my opinion, it is to give. To hope, to dream, to sacrifice, to empower others.

I want to give.
No one told me
How bad I need you (need you)

But I somehow arrived

To that conclusion all by myself (all by myself)

And I want

All you have to offer (to offer)

So I offer myself and I'll just give until there's nothing else



Thats what I'll do. I'll give.

Yeah I'll give give give (until there's nothing else)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left
I'll give

I believe thats my ambition, to help and give.



Thank you, God.

Hope and Desires

There is a difference between being an acquaintance and being a friend. An acquaintance is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have something in common with and who you feel comfortable around.

It's a person that you can invite to your home and share things with. But they are people who you don't share your life with, whose actions sometimes you don't understand because you don't know enough about them.

On the other hand, a friend is someone you love. Not that you are "in love" with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are not there. The people you are reminded of when you see something they might like, and you know this because you know them so well. They are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head regardless.

Friends are the people you feel safe around because you know they care about you. They call just to see how you are doing, because a friend doesn't need an excuse. They tell you the truth, the first time, and you do the same. You know that if you have a problem, they are there to listen.

Friends are the people who won't laugh at you or hurt you, and if they do hurt you they try hard to make it up to you. They are the people you love, regardless of whether you realize it.

Friends are the people you cried with when you got rejected from colleges and during the last song at the prom and at graduation. They are the people that when you hug them, you don't think about how long to hug and who's going to be the first one to let go.

Maybe they are the people that hold the rings at your wedding, or maybe they are the people who give you away at your wedding, or maybe they are the people you marry. Maybe they are the people who cry at your wedding because they are happy or because they are proud.

They are the people who stop you from making mistakes and help you when you do. They are are the people whose hand you can hold, or you can hug or give them a kiss and not have it be awkward because they understand the things you do and they love you for them.

They stick with you and stand by you. They hold your hand. They watch you live and you watch them live and you learn from them. Your life is not the same without them.

God, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the Courage to change the things I can; and the Wisdom to know the difference.

30, 60 Minutes worth of your time

Just before you watch this, make sure there is absolutely nothing to disturb you within this period of time.

I Want You To Know

And day lights, craving
Sunshine on this frozen heart
I am wishing you well
Wondering how you are

If you and I are going under
Maybe we can both recover
And find forgiveness for each other
Even if this is goodbye

And time heals
But these scars keep on tearing us apart
And sometimes ending is the only place to start

If you and I are going under (going under)
Maybe we can both recover (we can recover)
And find forgiveness for each other
Even if this is goodbye

Is goodbye, is goodbye, is goodbye, is goodbye, is goodbye...

If you and I are going under
Maybe we can both recover
And find forgiveness for each other
Even if

If what we had is really over
If fate is out there we discover
Let's find forgiveness for each other
Even if this is goodbye
