desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

I stared down at my lap not minding what was happening around me. Everything I saw was crimson red. I concentrated, putting all my energy into it. There were people talking, discussing things I dont care to understand. They were talking rubbish. And I didnt want to hear it. I didnt need them.

Every stroke I tried to perfect. Every detail I made into it. Nobody wasn't bothering me, just as I wanted to be. Invisible.

Red everywhere. Nobody can make me remove it. Nobody can make me stop. I am the only one in power. I am in utmost control.

No pain was felt as I stroked the redness of it. Numbness was everywhere. Silvery black was starting to show. A figure was forming all throughout. A ringing noise was suddenly heard and it destroyed my concentration. I needed to stop. Our next class was much important.

I stared back into my masterpiece. It was nearly close to perfection. The moon shining amongst the clouds showing the word that I only want to see. Moony.
