What good is being strong, When all I ever really want is you?
You know, I'm just going to say this.
Sorry just doesn't cut it.
Neither do excuses like "I thought you were _____", or "It was for your own good". Because the only person who can determine if something is good for you or not is yourself. Which essentially proves my point that only you can, and should make decisions for only yourself, because only you will know what's good for yourself. And you shouldn't make decisions for others too because it may not be what they want, or is good for them. Also, it means that
you can't trust anyone but yourself. Trusting anyone, yes, even your closest friends or family, isn't the best thing ever. People are... subject to change. Nothing's going to stay a particular way forever. Trust is a 'make-you-or-break-you' factor. You place trust in someone. You know what they say, the higher the risk, the higher the return. And then when you fall you fall hard.
I think only people who are strong have the authority to do what they want. If you're strong, no one will oppose you. If you're strong, everyone will submit, because if they don't, they're as good as dead. And it does no good if you're strong but don't have any beliefs to back up that strength. It's like, having a fishing rod and knowing how to fish but having no bait. Also, having beliefs make use of that strength for purposes that you,
and only you, want. Then you won't be made use of because you're strong and it's so easy to be swayed!
Why am I so idealistic.
Oh yes, Michelle! You asked for an excerpt.
She folds her arms, shivering for once in the cold. Looks at the couple walking away, the picture of perfect contentment. He turns back to give her barely a glance, and their eyes meet. She shakes her head, a small smile playing across her face.
That's the first paragraph. I don't even know where the idea came from. I just wrote, and wrote, and wrote. And yes, you're probably going to critique it. I don't even know where the drabble is going to head, I mean like seriously! As in, one thing just leads to another, does it not? In the end I'll find a way to wrap it all up together and tie all the loose ends. Or loosen all the tied ends, depending on what's required.
A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself. I learned you have to trust yourself, be what you are, and do what you ought to do the way you should do it. You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.
Barbara Streisand
Barbara Streisand! One of the awesomest singers, ever! I mean it. You trust yourself, not others.
Mistrust the man who finds everything good, the man who finds everything evil and still more the man who is indifferent to everything.
Johann K. Lavater
Point proven, don't ever trust me. I'm so apathetic sometimes it scares me.
Trust thyself only, and another shall not betray thee.
Thomas Fuller
On an ending note that perfectly matches my post!
