A human being needs a dream so he can withstand reality; having no dream in this cruel world makes one prone to collapsing and making it harder for him to get back up. The younger generations that are coming forget how to dream...or more accurate would be that we forget to tell them how to dream. We're in a constantly going vicious cycle that makes us forget our dreams and how to pass that ability to the young.
I took a couple of days off from the daily routine and decided to just go around and wander, meet new people, change a bit the scenery. I knew we were living in a fast going world, but I didn't know it was this bad. All I could see was just people being in a hurry to get to work but not seeing that they bumped into a little girl that fell over and started crying; people being too busy arguing over the phone and ignoring their crying child, eventually screaming at him because the mother couldn't hear the other person on the phone that she was arguing with; a mom forgetting her boy in the crowded bus because she forgot to take his hand while she was too busy playing Candy Crush. Busy people everywhere...in a hurry, sleepy, grumpy, constantly on their phone, pressured by the society....forgetting who they really are and what they're living for.
A day in the life of a modern adult is so dull and superficial that I wonder how they can make it through the week. Nothing new, it's the same thing every single day. We are coming to a point in that we don't live our lives just for us to be us, but we live it in order to be like other people because our weak selves are afraid of being unique and different..we feel the need to surpass the one that is front of us, better than us.
How long has it been since you last stopped from your daily activities and gave a random person a hug ? How long has it been since you've last complimented a person, read a good book, took your family out, went for a long walk, had some time with yourself ? How long has it been since you stopped and looked at your parents that are getting older day by day? We are in such a hurry to grow up that we forget we once were kids and had a dream that got lost in the process of being a successful adult...so we've lost ourselves.
Our life is too short to be lived in a superficial way, for others and dictated by society. The day of tomorrow is not granted, so why miss the opportunity of doing something we like today. Change your environment, do something you'd like to do; don't hurry, but be patient and enjoy life.

Don't hate the player, hate the game
The sweetness of the forbidden fruit is so deceiving, it makes us do so many things we normally would just pass and leave it for the others and then regret it. We can't even see that we're being played and just go with the flow. But something triggers us in asking ourselves if this is really right, if this should really be like this. Question marks all over the place. The only friend we have in this situation is our intuition. If you feel something is wrong, it probably is, no doubt in sight. But there are some tiny aspects to look out for when you get that feeling of being played. He or she may be a skilled player but we have to top that, they all have their own slips and flaws.
As we all know, it all starts off really sweet. He or she tries to model his character and hobbies after yourself. You like one thing, he or she will definitely say they like it as well, even though there's a really high possibility they don't like or don't even know what that is or how you do it ( time decides this, you may be wrong..sit back and observe).
You have something they want. If they see in you a source of unconditional help they will do whatever it takes to make you feel amazing in their presence, get you the things you want, take you out for dinner and whatnot until they have what they wanted from you. Then they start to back away from you, be more cold around you and then ignore you until you give up on trying to find out what just happened.
Phone and social media, two major things to look after when you feel you're being played. He or she will not use the phone around you because everyone has that one friend that has to blow it all. But of course they pick it up when you go away to the bathroom or who knows where. Try to ask to see his or her phone and they'll flip.
At the start of the so called relationship you use to talk/text really often. I get the fact that you don't have to be on your phone all the time or answer a text at the speed of light but if days pass and they fail to respond start putting up question marks. Short, delayed, annoying or sarcastic answers might come, which are signs you should look after .If they care about you, no matter how busy they are and no matter how bad their memory is, they will make time and remember to respond as soon as they have time.
Ever wondered why you don't know most of his or her friends? Well that would mean going deeper into the other's personal life and knowing more about them so they avoid taking you out when he or she meets some friends.
The truth is that after they get what they want from you or just use you as a rebound partner, they'll just back away from you, forgetting about you and moving on while you sit there all hurt and disappointed. Don't let it get to that point...you're better that this. Look out for the small details, the little signs he or she shows and always, ALWAYS be friends with your intuition. You can't trust anyone and anything more than your own intuition. If something seems off take a step back, put all the puzzle pieces together and see the whole picture of it. Don't fall for this pathetic game cause then you'll be the guilty one. You saw what was happening and yet you let it pass hoping that things will get better with time. Naaah that's not how you do this.
Trust in yourself, don't fall for sweet words when every part of your body tells you something is wrong. Look for the best because everyone deserves the best.

Flower
Take my hand
You know I’m here with you
Say my name
Cause lies can’t kill the truth
You know I’m here with you
Say my name
Cause lies can’t kill the truth
It’s burning up
The truths hidden in lies
It’s being silenced
All the dreams broken on the small lips
The truths hidden in lies
It’s being silenced
All the dreams broken on the small lips
Nobody can help me
Take me out from the rotten memories
Take me out from the rotten memories
Come take my hand
Drench my dried up heart
Drench my dried up heart
Come take my hand
Till the end
So I can live for you again
Till the end
So I can live for you again
The cruelly trampled flower
Looks like love is pain
Like broken wings
Looks like love is pain
Like broken wings
The countless scars that imprison me
They’re like sad thorns that dig into me
They’re like sad thorns that dig into me
It’s all right
Take my hand
In this arrogant world, even mistakes become big sins
Don’t cry
You’ve become the world’s hot topic then you turn into ash
Then they take away each piece of you
Your life Your soul Your world
They cannot kill it
Look at me, I’ve died but I opened my eyes again, I killed it
The darkness swallowed me but now I’m swallowing you
Piercing through the storm of snow
A deeply rooted flower blossoms
This is the truth
It may seem like it’s all over
There wasn’t a single door in this world that smothered you
Everyone goes through this
I tell you it’s okay
Even if it’s a small light, the darkness can’t swallow it
Take my hand
In this arrogant world, even mistakes become big sins
Don’t cry
You’ve become the world’s hot topic then you turn into ash
Then they take away each piece of you
Your life Your soul Your world
They cannot kill it
Look at me, I’ve died but I opened my eyes again, I killed it
The darkness swallowed me but now I’m swallowing you
Piercing through the storm of snow
A deeply rooted flower blossoms
This is the truth
It may seem like it’s all over
There wasn’t a single door in this world that smothered you
Everyone goes through this
I tell you it’s okay
Even if it’s a small light, the darkness can’t swallow it
