Siblings

Some of us have big families others come from small families. The dynamics between siblings are different. Personally my younger sibling is smart in school but has issues with life. This sibling fails miserably and make others uncomfortable with their problems. Academically am so so but in life I make my own way and try to not blame others for my short comings. I care about my family but it's tough when you try to be the good one for a better lack of term and are rewarded with misery. Personally I try to engage myself in activities that make me forget. Also I meditate when I can and try to maintain balance when I can. Even though sometimes others try to take that away from me.That's life and you just have to deal with it. 

ADOLESCENCE

We all start off as babies grow up into kids and transition into Teenagers. That's where things start to go wrong for some teens. I work in a place where I deal with people of all ages and ethnicities. Half the time I deal with teens whose parents have stopped disciplining them. There are rules and regulations that are in place and they just ignore them. One thing I have learned from my interactions with them is to be sarcastic and never show any fear. Some might say show them some kindness and I have on occasion. When I do show some sort of compassion they take it and the next day act like delinquents. The funny thing is where I work is not that great for teens to hang out. I always tell them to go to the mall or the park when there's good weather. It all falls on deaf ears. The lesson of this short ramble is if your a parent never stop caring about what your offspring is up to but also be willing to give them some room to grow when you feel that there mature and responsible. 

Memento Mori

You meet so many people in life. Sometimes it's hard to remember their names. You walk around the streets and see faces that seem familiar. Some stare back at you like if they remember you from a fading dream. We all change as we age, some more than others what stays with us are memories. Memories are supposed to keep you content. They don't! On sleepless nights you remember those who are no longer with you. Especially the people who you never got a chance to say goodbye to. We start each day anew and try to become better by altering our lives based on those memories. Every good and bad day is a part of us till we meet our maker. Till that day we struggle some more than others to not become lost or consumed by our past. Looking towards tomorrow for a brighter day just brings about another memory that we will have to one day replay.

A random poem/ramble I wrote one sleepless night

Let’s look at your life since its full with much strife.

Questions you’ll ask for answers you seek.

Alone in your thoughts you look inwards and

outwards at those that surround you.

Blood calls to blood yet a father lies abandoned.

The mother who gave life gives her affection,

though pulls your faith towards one of their making.

A sibling long gone comes back full of knowledge.

Resentment not anger stems from your heart.

The past and the present are one.

Madness with sadness stem from one closest like kin,

a distance exists when two were like one.

Scarred with no blemish, one full of spirits lies

Down with a sinner and is no longer thinner.

One full of light walks in the night,

a shadow corrupts the battle is lost.

One surrounded by greed fights for the

meek so they can be freed,

A question was asked an answer was given.

The Knot is now broken.

Dreams of the future are filled with the past.

Backwards and forwards are paths you can take.

Which way will you go?

To plan your own fate.
