WORLD WIDE LOVE!!

So a new era begins now that I started school again. I wanna make this year count. Those of you brave enough to join me in this quest will be rewarded with the satisfaction of helping fellow human beings.

A few moments ago I read the posts on SixBillionSecrets and was touched by the posts people made. So many people contemplating suicide, so many broken families... It's heartbreaking. Then I went on GivesMeHope. I was amazed how just random acts of kindness can change and even save lives! Just being told she was beautiful by a kind stranger saved a girl from killing herself.

We don't realize the potential we have to save lives. To make someone's day. As someone who has gone through a lot of hardships (and still do), I know how it feels to not look forward to anything anymore. I know what that emptiness is like. And I want to help others overcome it. This is the only life I have, and this is the only life they have also. The purpose of life is to be lived! So don't act surprised if you see me go on a humanitarian quest!

As for the title of this post: It's a song by Japanese pop artist hitomi. The song has really sweet lyrics and a really nice message. :) Enjoy!

Translation WORLD! WIDE! LOVE!

I don't know what the right answer is but I want to be excited over it: exactly what is world peace anyway? Because simply following the fad doesn't save anybody, from now on world wide love will connect me to you The world you can see as you are born is surely a stage that is leading you to hope, dreams and love WORLD!

FAÇADES

You'd think putting on a mask everywhere you go would become second nature after years of doing it. It doesn't. All it does is begin a process of decay... Rotting on the inside. And no matter how long you keep it up for, the pain is still the same.

Being someone else is hard work. Sometimes you have to act the exact opposite of how you feel. I'm at church. Inside my mother's office. Alone. I feel miserable here. I don't belong here. And I would like nothing more than to be done with this sick little game. However, once I step out the door I'm gonna smile at everyone, say "God bless you!", called these strangers my 'brothers and sisters', and pretend that my life is wonderful.

No one here knows me. Not even my relatives that I see every week. They're just part of this twisted game. My parents ask me why I don't want to attend youth services, events, and outings, why I don't have any friends here. How could I? I'd love to tell them what I really feel and let them decide for themselves whether or not to befriend me. But that's not the case, is it now? Father... Mother... Because that would harm your precious little reputation. No son of yours could ever be an "immoral homosexual" who denies the existence of the Lord!

All I've ever known is lies. I was a lie. My religion was a lie. Now that I embraced the truth I've been taught to hide in shame or to never even consider, my eyes are wide open. I can never go back. Superstition is for the weak. Those who fear change. The foundations of the sick "morality" that these enemies of reason so fervently uphold are crumbling down. I'm gonna get some popcorn, sit on the couch... and enjoy the show.

Here's one of my personal favorite metal classics: "I Want Out" by Hammerfall (cover, originally by the band Helloween) Pay attention to the lyrics. It's exactly how I feel.
