Footprints.I want to be quoted, I want to be seen, I want to be heard. I want to be believed, to be admired, to be respected, to be understood.To be contemplated, to be defended, to be thought of; I want to leave something behind.I want to live forever in memory, I want forever to live in me.I want eternity to hold me through the night, I want endlessness to wrap me in its warmth. I want to exist 1000 years from now, in strangers I have only seen in my dreams. I want to impact people, I have not yet met, who know me intimately because of my art, my expression, my words, my ideas, my vision. I want to be the inspiration for other artists, just lik
Acceptance.Tone down your expectations, lower the volume of your ego & accept your mediocrity.© Rocio Belinda Mendez 2013
Vida.Life tests you sometimes. It throws you so hard onto the ground, you can't feel anything but pain, taste anything but blood, or see anything clearly because of your teared-up eyes.Sometimes you hurt so much, real physical pain doesn't come close, strangely it seems like a relief. A pain that lingers, and makes you feel like you are sleepwalking through your nightmare of a life. Life is the teacher, preacher, the abuser, and the user, but it is you that decides how to deal with it all. Life sits idly by, watching you walk across the universe, it throws obstacles along your path to see how tough you really are, how much you really want somet

Happy I was shoveling the pancake gently off the pan with my spatula when the idea came to me. An automatic response to my ever non-coherent thoughts, though comprehension of my mind had always been impossible. It was merely the need to fill an empty void tucked away into the bottom of my pockets that existed simply for the chance to store away answers. It was always interesting to see what others came up with when I popped that question mark into thin air, even if that question mark never normally made it past their ears. I glanced to the left, where the little girl sat there, fiddling with her new and improved iPhone -- the latest of the entir
Un oscuro sendero por recorrer..En todo caso había un solo túnel oscuro y solitario: el mio...-Fragmento de un libro que me hizo llorar...Mañana lloverá y por ello sigo al sol. -Fragmento de una canción que disfruto mucho.Un sombrío túnel sin señales de luz dentro de este, es un camino que toda persona debe recorrer en algún paso de su vida, uno usualmente llega a entrar a este sendero de sombras y penumbra al terminar la infancia por si sola (o al menos se da cuanta cuando termina esta etapa) ya que uno de niño es feliz por la imaginación que produce y le rodea, no es difícil para u
The failure of the Cosmological argumentI havenīt written anything in a while, so I decided to write this both as a mental exercise and because my watchers are probably wondering if Iīm still alive :). But it’s also something important I want to give my thoughts on.We’ve all heard of the cosmological argument, one of, if not the, most common arguments for the existence of a god. For those who don’t know, this is how the argument goes:1. Every finite and contingent being has a cause.2. A causal loop cannot exist.3. A causal chain cannot be of infinite length.4. Therefore, a First Cause (or something that is not an effect) must exist.The first problem lies

That Big Blue SkyI sit for many a night to contemplate my right to grasp tightthe knowledge I hold dear to me. I see people tossing their thoughtsat subjects frought with usleness or lack of reason. I thought Ihad fought for the same reasons as others studied with me, insteadI feel treason is a leading sting to bring even the greatest of temples down.Yet here I sit upon my window, doing what feels like nothing to stop thepoison running through my veins travelling to my brain. It drives meto the brink as my mind begins to shrink and insanity steps into reality.The depravity I surround myself with to try but justify it's helpful existence.But even as I sit here with mysteries of secrets swirling and twirling in my mind,I crack a knowing smile that even as I sit here and try I cannot break the wonderof that big blue sky....
Everyone DiesEveryone dies. The question you have to ask yourself is this: Have you truly lived? What you have right now, life, what a precious gift. The things you could experience, the depths to which you could know yourself, to which you could feel and understand deeply and profoundly, even if only for one moment of awareness, these are yours and yours alone. And if you do not seek them, if you do not plumb the depths of the unique instrument that you are, what was the point of you? Explore, seek, wonder, love, feel, run, fly. Everyone dies. Take this chance to truly live.

These places, these favorite scenarios are all too often independent.
I tend to like extremely tight emotional bonds with another person. A soul with your soul. So close as to sit in a room with the other person and be "alone".
It's funny, how I think.
