A Poem

If I had the opportunity to tell the world something it would be this we are going to be okay Don’t believe anything else this world tells you it won’t come out to make sense in the end

The Price We Pay

Everyone pays a price for living in this world. That’s not to say it’s an easy thing to do, on the contrary. Life can be downright difficult at times. But, whoever said this life would be easy? I don’t think anyone has ever come to that conclusion. If they have, they are in error.

If I had the ability to make this life easier, I’m not sure if I would or not. Maybe I’m just a lost soul on this whole path. With no place to go, and at times that troubles me. If there’s anything I’ve learned in this life it’s this: Nothing comes easy, nothing comes cheap. There’s always a price to pay eventually.

I wish there was an easy fix for everything in this life. But things come at a cost. There isn’t a clean fix for everything right here and right now. That’s just how this life is.

Thinking about all of this makes me sad on the inside. I would rather not think about things, but such is the nature of the beast. These things demand they be thought about and discussed. I’m not sure if I trust my thought process most days. It would be nice if I could trust it, but well let’s face it my brain isn’t what it used to be. Now it’s full of worry and self-doubt, I don’t know what’s real anymore.

Is there ever a reason to believe what you feel or think? Those thoughts and emotions can be manipulated in several different ways without your knowledge. You have to decide how or when to act on them, if at all. I remember being so anxious in high School. Always afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. I avoided a lot of things just so I wouldn’t have to deal with people watching me. I hate that part about me.

Everything feels like it’s going downhill fast. There’s no bump on the hill to allow me to soar to where I want to be. I don’t understand it, I don’t get it. But what’s there to get when you have Social Anxiety? I don’t think you can get much out of anything these days.

Second guessing myself doesn’t help matters either. There doesn’t seem to be a reason for it, yet I constantly do it. My mind never stops thinking, I hate that. But what can I do about it? I don’t think there’s much I really can do about anything these days. I have to keep moving forward no matter the cost.

In the end, I’ll live my life the way I want to. You live your life the way you want to.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...
