But What If..

You know what's a little messed up? The phrase "what if". Sometimes I wish that those two words weren't a part of the english language. Not together at least. I find myself asking myself this question too much. It's such a terrible way of thinking. What if I had done this? Would things be this way or that way? What if this happens? What if he does this? What if she says that? I have come to the conclusion that "what if" is banned from my vocabulary. Because no matter how many times I ask myself "what if", it isn't going to change what happened in the past, what is happening now, or what is going to happen. Sometimes you just have to accept things as they come at you, learn from them, move on, and forget about the "what if"s.

It's a Beautiful Ride.

Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart

Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day

But the struggles makes you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has its own way of takin' it sweet time

[chorus]
No,life aint always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life aint always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride

Life aint always beautiful
Some days I miss your smile
I get tired of walkin' all these lonely miles

And I wish for just one minute
I could see your pretty face
Guess I can dream, but life don't work that way


But the struggles makes me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has its own way of takin' its sweet time

No, life ain't always beautiful
But I know I'll be fine
Hey, life ain't always beautiful
But its a beautiful ride
What a beautiful ride

Hey, J-j-jaded

When I was little, I remember riding in the car and hearing Jaded by Aerosmith. I was pretty small at the time, so I thought I was hearing "Hey, J-J-Janieee". Of course, I later figured out that Steven Tyler probably wasn't talking to Janie. I was singing this song earlier when I realized that I didn't have a clue what the word "jaded" meant. So I looked it up:
JADED
1: fatigued by overwork : exhausted
2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience

There are so many jaded people in this world.. people that are tired, people that live their lives simply going through the motions, people that are afraid to try again because of how things have turned out before. It's a sad thought really.. that people could be out living their lives but they stay inside the lines instead because of the way that someone treated them before. I have this theory that if everyone treated everyone like they were priceless and perfect and wonderful.. that nobody would ever be jaded. Wouldn't it be awesome if people really trusted each other because they didn't have a reason not to? It's unfortunate that someone can trust another person with all that they have and be let down and never ever trust again. It's unfortunate that people are jaded.
