Anna's+Allegory

CLICK HERE FOR MY PORTFOLIO = Anna's Allegory = I will have all of you know that there is no order to my philosophy whatsoever and that is part of my philosophy in its self. We suffer in our thoughts and choices; independently we endure and move on. Never do we think to change our paths or turn the page because we choose to persevere and not escape. My own philosophy is in the making due to the universal fact that teenagers have an overwhelming emotional perspective on the world. At the moment my philosophy is simple and very easy to follow. I am Anna, no one else. I believe that we have one chance at life but many chances to fix mistakes because that is the only way in which we learn. In order to learn you must have an open mind and question and experiment without limitations. I believe that we must grasp the ideas surrounding the world in order to create an individual paradigm. This is the only way one must find themself. This is the way in which the successful are successful, and the happy are happy. Everybody is equal and we all work toward a common goal- this is what unites each and every person. Connections entwine themselves through daily life that are not apparent to the naked eye but truly affect the way we live our lives. I also believe that the journey is crucial to building a strong character instead of the conclusion. The journey is where one makes mistakes and learns from them- and these are the foundations which modern society is built on.

 Let it be There is nothing perfect, there is only life Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be But don't worry be happy Because castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually



 When the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me The sun's going to rise in a mile, you'll see I'm gonna make it a brighter place With my own two hands You'll be out of the dark, and you'll get your shot But when all is over, all that counts... Just change the world with your own two hands Shine until tomorrow, let it be.



 All men are created equal Kind and loving; a man apart from men, in their health and joy A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him. And in that way, he becomes immortal. But even immortality comes with a price.

Drift away, into that sacred place To that mysterious realm where each shall take The wings of morning, Where there's no more you and me, no more they and we, just unity  It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god The shackles, therefore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of this war, will remain on us long, Will be made heavier and heavier, till our rights shall revive or expire in conclusion Give a loose to them, they will support the true religion, By bringing every false one to their tribunal To the test of their investigation But, inclination was sometimes too strong for reason Because an unjust law is a code inflicted upon a minority

Betake you to the woods and let me keep the path Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string Because each of us see the world, not as you see it We live with the objective of being happy But we thus darken our eyes forever Even though the best and most beautiful things in the world Cannot be seen or touched...but felt with the heart There is an hour to come When all of us shall cast aside our veils  Time to look around and know There are secrets in every corner of this village, Do you not feel it? Do you not see it? Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth the shadows come and go, How the breeze stirs the tree, How the blossoms grow go forth, under the open sky, and listen So live, The soul should always stand ajar. Speaking the truth

The singing of a man cast away upon a desolate island might be as appropriately considered as evidence of contentment and happiness, The songs of the slave represent the sorrows of his heart; and he is relieved by them, Only as an aching heart is relieved by its tears. Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free As the singing of a slave; the songs of the one and of the other are prompted by the same emotion. Our lives are all different yet the same
