We gotta remember that hope is more powerful than we know. I was listening to this song by Angels and Airwaves, It's called Rite of Spring.
Here are the lyrics for it:
I was locked all day in the summer heat,
In a small brown house in Suburban Street,
With a skateboard and my shit guitar,
I'd dream all day that they would get me far,
My dad would ask me about my grades,
The asshole sports that I never played.
And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date,
Behind our backs when mom would stay up late.
It was near when I turned sixteen,
Got kicked out of school, and so it seemed
that things were closing in and ready to blow,
My dad moved out about that year or so,
It took an hour to start a punk rock band
To offset my fucked up family land
And as I held my mom would start to cry
I swore ourselves a better life
If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn't change a thing
It's made me all of who I am inside
And if I could thank god
That I am here, and that I am alive
And everyday I wake
I tell myself a little harmless lie
The whole wide world is mine
In a small brown house in Suburban Street,
With a skateboard and my shit guitar,
I'd dream all day that they would get me far,
My dad would ask me about my grades,
The asshole sports that I never played.
And then I'd ask about the girls he'd date,
Behind our backs when mom would stay up late.
It was near when I turned sixteen,
Got kicked out of school, and so it seemed
that things were closing in and ready to blow,
My dad moved out about that year or so,
It took an hour to start a punk rock band
To offset my fucked up family land
And as I held my mom would start to cry
I swore ourselves a better life
If I had a chance for another try,
I wouldn't change a thing
It's made me all of who I am inside
And if I could thank god
That I am here, and that I am alive
And everyday I wake
I tell myself a little harmless lie
The whole wide world is mine
I mean holy freaking crap! Who writes this?? This is pure beauty. Now go listen to the actual song. Your insides will melt out your ears and nose!
I want people to know that no matter what you are going through, remember that your life isn't the same as everyone else's. So just shut up and stop complaining so much about your problems. You aren't doing anyone any good. Now there is a time and place for everything I feel, you just gotta figure out when those are. But as a majority no one wants to hear about your problems. Unless they are very selfless and those people are hard to come by in this world.
Tom. DeLonge. He knows how to get to the soul of a human. All you have to do is keep your head up, tell yourself a little lie every once and a while, but most of all keep that positivity! If you have to listen to this freaking song, why don't you?? Or start a rock band, or go serve someone! That always helps. Or eat a fudgesicle. Ugh that sounds so amazing. And thank your Heavenly Father that you're alive. Remember, you don't have to be. Really, think about it. You don't. It's all in His hands. The whole wide world is yours! Scour off into your world and find your Tom or what ever you need.
