Blogs

I want you to remember just one thing
I am telling you frankly about my love
If suddenly you long for me, do not look for me
For I shall have stopped looking for you
The leaves have grown again, time to live again.

I wake to the sounds of the birds, and I wish,
I wish for a magpie's freedom in my heart
Just like the wind I want to be free
Like a seagull flying over the ocean
Gliding like a kite on a string
Oh take me to the times of siesta
Where none of my memories exist.

So I tell you my dear , if you ever cared or care
If ever you miss me, please do not tell me this
I sail away but I never forget, all I ask of you,
Let me have my freedom and my mind.

I'm sure almost everyone has heard the old saying "Time Heals All." This may be true for some people, while it doesn't apply to everyone. Some wounds may never heal and some do. You may not feel like they will but give them time. Personally, I have felt like I would never move on and heal from things I have encountered in life but I have. You just need to be patient and things will work out in the end. In addition, as the saying goes, "when one door closes, another one opens." You just have to allow it to happen. If you go through life thinking things will only get worse, you will never get anywhere and people will see this as a weakness. They will then not want to be around you if you continue to see the negative side to everything. For some, it takes others to make them happy, while other people only need themselves to find comfort in their lives. For me, I have found that writing blogs like this one have helped me to take my mind off of things and clear my head. It has given me a chance to get things off my mind and allow others to share their opinions, which I appreciate. I'm not sure if any of this makes sense, since I may have contradicted myself several times but hopefully I have made my message clear. When things begin to look bad, don't give up. Just keep going and you will see things will get better and the wounds will heal. It can only make you stronger as it did for me.

Ok so what I found interesting is that in the chat room when I talked about this topic Americans were so adament on having guns and a lot refused to see another point of view so I just wanted to write a blog about this whole debate on the right to bear arms.

In my opinion a society without guns is easier to control than a society with guns. Now I come from Ireland and our police force dont even carry arms except for a few undercover detectives which amounts to about 3,000. I think if the police were to have guns then of course people are going to want guns so I like it the way it is. And of course there are some people who always find ways to get guns like those involved in drug crime who just do not care about the law. Most people however do not hold any arms in their home. I also disagree with Irish farmers having guns - they have them to shoot foxes because in the countryside the foxes eat their chickens or something but anyway I don't think they should interfere with nature. Anyway if a gun was in my house I would feel less safe and maybe you can't understand that but that is just the way it goes here.

Don't get me wrong I know most of you will say you want to protect yourselves from criminals with guns but do you really not think your gun laws need to be polished up a bit. I read that 18 year olds could buy a gun? Yet you have to be 21 to gamble? And like is it compulsory to get some gun training ?

Anyway I am just trying to understand this - every country has their own culture I just find it interesting at how much Americans feel having a gun is a right..anyone have any comments?

Expect nothing in return. It means that giving love does not guarantee receiving love. Try loving just for the sake of love. Realize that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you, do not expect to be loved back in exactly the same way.
