" Determine to live life with flair and laughter " (Maya Angelou)


My generation is the generation of sex, drugs, and irresponsibility.
You have to be honest and just admit that you come from this generation of sex driven children, smoking and being irresponsible young parents . Its a shame but i never said i'm the most valuable in the game , i might not be irresponsible or completely sex driven but i do have the mind of any young child of the 2000’s . Why can't we go back to the days where our elders were the wisest , the beauty is in our heart, are bodies are something more than objects, and our feelings were rarely seen but never toyed with. I'm so sick and tired but too young to be sick and tired of being sick and tired , i still have a long way to go and an even longer road that leads to success. I am choosing to be different and to live my life wild free and young but also responsible and with morals. So many people disrespecting their own bodies whether its out of pain or pleasure. I'm not saying i am the purest i'm just saying i am going to be the one to be different and to change my generation , our generation . Change our generation into the generation of college bound, philosophers, young entrepreneurs, and so many more. The dreams that all our young minds make will finally come true in my generation.

I&#039;ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <br /> - Maya Angelou <br /> When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn&rsquo;t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out<br /> The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay<br /> If love produced a blossom/I&rsquo;d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I&rsquo;d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven<br /> And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

WOW Agreed.... This held so much meaning and I love the fact that you took initiative to change this.. You Go!
