Labels

hey everyone!

Today, I'm not going to use a poem I wrote. The past few weeks I have been reading quotes by Chuck Palahnuik, and they are all very good. One of the quotes just stuck out to me, and I thought I would share!

"I want out of the labels. I don't want my whole life crammed into a single word."
-Chuck Palahnuik

I feel like a bunch of people can relate to this quote. Every day in the world someone is getting labeled. You can get labeled in many ways, popular, pretty, ugly, mean, nice, anything really. I think that is one of the dumbest things ever. People shouldn't get to do that. I read this quote and I thought, how do people label me? I honestly don't know how people label me, I would hope they would say I'm nice. Chuck thought a little differently. He didn't just want to be one thing, he wanted to be multiple. When he wrote this quote, he was probably thinking, I want to be nice and adventurous and different. Personally, I think everyone should think like that. Labels probably won't go away anytime soon, so why not make it a good thing. Make it where people know you as something you want to be. Today, I challenge everyone to go out and do something to make that happen. Let's say you want to be known as nice, go out of your way to be nice to people and people will take notice! What if you want to be adventurous? Go on an adventure! Whatever you want to be "labeled" as, take action and you can achieve it.

Rock Bottom

"I'm sad,

and I dont even know why

it feels like I'm drowning

in a hole that's never ending

it'll keep going

until I hit a point

where I have a choice

path one

or 

path two

one will lead you down a never ending road of sadness

and the other will get you over what's wrong

life is rough,

sometimes you wanna just give up.

but when in fact,

you have to push through.

bad times come and go

you may be stuck on something in your past,

but why?

let go and embrace the future.

So, I wrote this poem a long time ago, but something that has recently happened to me made me go back and read it. Early in this year, I went through some tough decisions I had to make. I used God and the Bible to get me through most of it. I realized that when you are having a rough day and you go home and just study scripture, it makes a lot of things more clear. I ended up choosing the right decision. One of my friends was not the best influence, and I ended the friendship. I have found two new bestfriends of mine. They are the best thing that has happened to me this year, and I thank God daily for the blessing of having them around.

     What this poem means to me: This poem is kind of self explanatory, but as poems go you can interperet them any way that could help you. This poem means that once you "hit rock" bottom, you have to make a decision. You need to fix whatever is wrong. I'm sure in some

of your situations, you might not even realize the problem. What I recommend is that, you go read some scripture.
