Welcome to REALity

Welcome to reality where everything gets REAL
Time waits for nobody, things don't always go your way
Everything's not pretty, everything doesn't feel right
But everything is REAL



You're gonna get hurt
You just might be the one doing the hurting
You're gonna fall too hard, too fast at least once,
But you gotta keep moving cuz REALity moves right along



You're not gonna know EVERYTHHING a person's going through
And the stuff you will learn just might hurt you
People aren't naturally an open book
But you gotta keep pressing through, you just might get a look in



Life will throw major unforseen curveballs
Ones you have no control over
And the things you though you did control
Will slip right through your hands
But keep trucking, things have a way of re-aligning themselves



People will love you one day, hate you the next
Want to spend every waking moment with you
Then drop you like an old habit
But keep loving them anyway...



Far better to love than fear or hate or resent
Fear, hate, resentment eats away at your very being,
at your own soul,



Forgive, not for them but for you
You only make yourself sick and miserable by holding grudges
While they live their lives, you're at home moping around angry



Loved ones are gonna rip you apart
Especially if you don't fit their mold
Love them anyway
They only want the best for you
Never let them be your only or final influence
Always remember that the journey is yours and not theirs



Everyone is on a seperate journey to greater truth
Although paths are similar and do cross no two paths are alike
Never take anyone elses path or allow anyone else to take your path



There will be times that the things you do, the things you say
Will be misunderstood
Take joy in the fact that truth always out
Never give up on the things you feel right
Hold to your truth because it's just that...YOUR truth
Never trample over anyone else's truth
And never think that your truth is the ULTIMATE truth



People lie, people twist things around
May even turn your closest friends against you
Brush them off and move on (Easier said than done)
If they were really meant to be there then fate will bring them back to you
And never stoop to their level (Also easier said than done)



Never say what you are not, especially if you've never been tested and tried
You'll find out that you have some issues that you never knew about
Instead play to and focus on the things that you are



Every pretty face isn't perfection, and every sweet word isn't truth
But never give up on people
There is some good in everyone, even if you don't see it at first



You are blessed if you find one best friend
Extremely lucky if you find two or more
However many you find hang on to them
And never forget to tell them how much they mean to you



Violent words are never the answer
They only make you seem small and uneducated
Be careful what you say to someone
Karma does have a habit of biting back



In order to find true love you have to first let go of a past love
Your feelings for someone will never grow if you hold on to what was
It's gonna hurt like hell, but you'll be ok
All the hurt you experienced won't matter when you find new love
Also be ready to get rid of past resentment
And never bring the failures of one relationship into the next



True soulmates never leave, even if a relationship has ended
They are the ones who stick with you long after a relationship has failed
They become your best friends, sharing in your dreams, your visions
They know you best and aren't afraid to be REAL with you
They'll hurt you in order to educate you, and oddly enough you'll be greatful for it
And yes, you can have more than one.



The REALity of it all is that YOU create your REALity
YOU have to power to make things happen
YOU have the ability to change how you view things, how you see people
YOU are the maker of your destiny
And when things don't go the way YOU wanted, remember this
God, Jesus, Allah, the Universe or whoever/whatever you see as the Ultimate power is working something bigger and better
And it ALL will be REAL good to and for you!
