Safety First
I heard that someone had heard from someone else that the only people who will survive in this world, those who will be favoured by natural selection and the evolution process, are those who are cautious.
The revenge of the ultra-paranoid population.
It's not impossible.
From experience over the years, I've realized that I'm one of those people. If something goes terribly wrong while doing Task A, I will stop doing Task A altogether and never do it again. I'll sit thinking for hours of the million other things that could have gone wrong, so much that I'm too freaked out to ever think of doing Task A again.
I can't quite decide if this paranoia is just over-caution or some sort of psychological disturbance. Either way, if thinking about the possible negativities can save your life, then I'm paranoid.
To the rest of you, be careful.

Optipessimism.
Sam.F : BE POSITIVE.
3:14am
One Invictus : I cannot.
3:14amSam.F : Why?
3:14am
One Invictus : I believe it was you who told me - ages ago - that it's better to be negative than be positive and have your hopes dashed...and it makes sense.
3:15am
Sam.F : Yes yes I did. But sometimes we mess things up constantly looking for the negativity, did you think that maybe sometimes it's what you bring upon yourself?
3:16am
One Invictus : Well, if we just let the positivity overwhelm us, we will be hit by reality and it'll be worse
3:16am
Sam. F :Don;t let it overwhelm you! Just let it flow through you! You need to let a litle bit of positivity seep in.
3:19am
One Invictus : Not happening
3:19am
Sam.F : Please? For me?
3:19am
One Invictus : Negativity is the soul's natural defense against heartbreak, it's automatic.
3:20amSam
Sam. F : But there is more to life than heartbreak.
3:21am
One Invictus : Like what? Everything is likely to end up in heartbreak.

We could be friends, you know.
We find friends in the rarest of places. Sometimes, more than the ones we've been looking for, it's those we accidentally chance upon that really leave a mark on our lives.
The ones who you can laugh for endless hours with, the ones around whom you experience life's happiest moments, the one's who convince you to take risks with no regrets.
Riding at breakneck speed.
Walking against the blustering sea breeze.
Laughing till you forgot why you started laughing in the first place.
I live for these moments.
And the people I share these moments with really make them worth living for.

Ssssh.
You have your secrets, I have mine.
Tell yours to those around you, let me keep mine to myself. They're safe inside.
My secrets are about your secrets.
Your little whispers, hidden smiles and agitated glances are what my thoughts feed on, what nourishes them into a vengeful creature - vicious, yet dormant. The more you struggle to keep hidden from me, the stronger the beast grows.
But it will never release it's fury. The bigger it gets, the deeper it begins to drive into me, the angrier it gets as it eats away at my inside.It grows not to wreak havoc on your life but to destroy mine.
You can keep your secrets. The ones I have are enough for me. Too much, actually.
They say talking helps. Well, you talk to them, they listen and then talk about you again. More secrets.
The last thing I need.

Change is good, really?
When you see someone, someone you love and care about, become something that you know in your heart isn't right, what do you do?
Do you let change take it's toll in a belief that transformation is good for people every once in a while or do you stop that wheel from turning? Maybe it isn't your place, maybe what they're doing isn't entirely sinful but that doesn't mean you condone something that is bound to bring about the destruction of their very existence.
As much as criminal action is punished by law, so is innocent silence.
If you can stop it, don't hold back.
But, you have so much to lose from those few words.
In the end, it all comes down to this :
Are they changing or are you just standing still?
