Sometimes it is all I can do to not just snap and start yelling at everyone around me. Trying to always take the high road sucks, don't let anyone fool you about that. Always trying to do the right thing and be the better person means getting stomped on a lot. It means laying awake at night wishing you could just throw them under the bus and watch them flail and fail without your help. It means wishing you could just bluntly speak your mind to them about how you honestly feel and not care about if thier feelings are hurt. It means making a choice that leaves you run down and drained and knowing that they will never appreciate what all you go through for them. Being the better person means always feeling a little used, chewed up, and spit out. However, it also means you have a clear conscience, it means knowing you did the right thing, and it means that if Karma is real there are good things coming your way. Being the better person isn't easy, but it's the right thing to do...

Hey, guess what? You're amazing. Yes, you, the one reading this, you are amazing. No, I'm not talking about someone else, I say what I mean, and I said you. Stop arguing with me and accept it. You are unique, you are important, and you are amazing. You made it another day and the world didn't end. Sure, it could have felt like it did, and it could still feel that way, but it didn't, so congrats on another day. Now, since you're amazing, go out and live that way. Show the world what I see, show them how amazing you are. Do something to make life better for yourself and those around you. Trust me, I know you can. Why? Cuz you're amazing, that's why. Now go and be amazing like I know you are. #amazingisasamazingdoes #onedayatatime #maketheworldabetterplace #amazing

I will not be bullied into silence, I will not be made to think that my feelings are illegitimate because they don't match your world view, and I will not let you tear me down to feel good about yourself. Every single person views the world different than the person next to them. We see everything through the filter of our life experiences, and we couldn't remove that filter if we tried. However, what we can do is get new experiences, learn new things, meet new people, and adjust that filter till it is clear and actually sees the world as it is, and not just how we want it to be. I'm still working on this myself, but it's not impossible. If you want change, you need to be that change, and it's okay if you have to start small then work your way up. There is nothing wrong with STARTING small, what's wrong is staying small. What's wrong is knowing you have your filter set to max, and not trying to change that. What's wrong is assuming that your world view...

Do you ever stop to think that maybe we are at the end of an era in this country? That maybe we are living in what the future will call the fall of America? Ever wonder what will come next? Will it be a horrible dictatorship? Will it be multiple countries? Will the country be finally run by the people rather than corporations? Does it make you wonder where you will fit in all of this? I think about it, all of it, every single damn day. I have decided that I will do whatever it takes to make sure that my family is safe and free, no matter the personal cost. My wife and children will be free and will be happy. #whatsnext #livefree #keepmyfamilysafe

The fact that the phrase, "Don't mistake my kindness for weakness" even exists, show's that humans can be such despicable creatures.

The Joker and Harley Quinn are like Romeo and Juliet, once you figure out the real story, you no longer want to be them

So many thoughts in my head, so many things I want to say, but I'm nobody from no where, so no one who doesn't know me already even cares. I'm tired of watching this world fall apart around me and having no say in it. We are Americans, this is the land of the free, yet long ago we bowed our knees to the rich and selfish and now we are no longer free. We live in a world where those who talk this loudest are the most respected, even when what they are saying is crap. We need people to be just as loud and say meaningful things, so that maybe people can see that it's okay to go against the flow and stand up for yourself and what's right. How do I do that though? How I do I, a no body from no where, get enough people's attention to cause a change? This world needs fixing, and it's up to the nobody's to stand up and do it, because the somebody's don't actually care what happens to us. #standup #doitforthenobodies #itsourtimetoriseup

I hate hearing the line, "Well yeah I'm miserable, but I've put so much time into this relationship, I can't afford to leave and be alone." Billions of people on the planet and you're staying attached to someone who doesn't make you happy or make you a better person. No, relationships aren't all rainbows and sunshine, they take work. However if all they are is work and no natural rainbows and sunshine, then whats the point? #whystay #findyoursunshineandrainbows #loveislikeafartifyouhavetoforceitthenitsshit

To the drunk college kid who just screamed, "he's not wearing green" and tried to pinch me in Meijer: I grew up with four brothers, so believe me when I say that if you come anywhere near me again with your fingers, I will break them. That isn't a threat or a promise, that is a fact. Pinch me and I will break your fingers, and the camera above us will show it was self defence. Sincerely, The over worked under rested father of a newborn who should have known better than to go to the store on national it's-okay-to-be-a-stupid-drunk-idiot-in-public day.....
