To belong: To have the right personal or social qualities to be a member of a particular group.

To belong: To have the right personal or social qualities to be a member of a particular group.

I believe that this word does not fit in my vocabulary. Torn between places I call mine. It's probably not appropriate for everyone. "Where are you from?" they ask. Now how should I answer this? My home country isn't home. Where I set my foot is just transient and where I had been is gone. I want to know what is mine. Where I should go. How I should do it. Do we really need to belong? I mean, people have been making it clear to me that I don't fit anywhere. If belonging would be that easy, I could tell you that everyone would be bored by now. We can find light even in the darkest of times. There's a piece of the puzzle missing.
It is that, but really, it's about how we don't recognize the little things in life, or appreciate the little things in life like belonging. A sense of belonging is a big thing today.
-James Caan

"Emmène-moi au bout de la Terre, emmène-moi aux pays des merveilles"

"Emmène-moi au bout de la Terre, emmène-moi aux pays des merveilles"
It took a me while, to think of this. How about a little thought for Alice, you know, blond girl, blue dress, oh so they say. That's not really what I want to talk about though, it's more about the title that Lewis Carroll gave to this imaginary world. Wonderland is still an obscure word to me. I'm not sure which side of wonder he meant. I mean, think about it, it's a double faced word, isn't it? You would say wonder to say a feeling of admiration, or on the other side, a feeling of doubt, or curiosity. What I'm trying to say is that the author could have meant wonderland as a land where everything is astounding, astonishing and surprising, but it could also be a world where our 10 year old would have felt curious, doubtful, puzzled and maybe even lost. I'm not sure which fits better, maybe a bit of both, or maybe none at all. It is his word after all, it doesn't need a meaning. Yet. Wonderland is a world filled with magic and miracles. But be careful though, I think the some people transformed Lewis's image of wonderland. Through the Looking-Glass gives a whole other image to it.

Robert Louis Stevenson once said, "You cannot run away from a weakness; you must sometimes fight it out or perish. And if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?"

Regret comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are small , like when we do a bad thing, for a good reason. Some are bigger, like when we let down a friend. Some of us escape the pains of regret by making the right choice. Some of us have little time for regret, because we're looking forward to the future. Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past. And sometimes we bury our regret, by promising to change our ways. But our biggest regrets are not for the things we did... but the things we didn't do. The things we didn't say that could save someone we care about. Especially when we can see the dark storm that's headed their way.

-Lucas Scott

I've Got Dreams To Remember

I've Got Dreams To Remember
"It feels like the world is falling apart around me."
I'm lost. A bit. I guess.
Looking in the future does no good.
I try my best to live in the present.
The future looks warmer though.
Hopefully.
"We are both victims of love."
Fools I tell you.
This is doing me no good.
Look at me.
Why am I thinking things like this.
Everything is changing.
People change.
I guess that's life.
It is.
Unfortunately.
People leave.
Everyone leaves.
Some day or another.
Unclear thoughts.
Not good.
We all need to dream.
I dream.
He dreams.
She dreams.
We dream.
They dream.
End of story.
