Alex's+Apocalypse

Optimism By Alex Anthony Life is the greatest gift God, your parents, or anyone else can give you. It's the privilege to have fun, be free, and create a life for yourself...every day. You were given that gift, but it doesn't matter unless you decide to do something with it; no one else can decide how you live. Yes, some people may have control over you, but it's your choice whether or not you break free and how you break free. You are going to make the decisions in your life, only you. The only way I believe in living, is living life to the fullest, live it the way **//you//** want to. Be firm, but carefree. Be strong, but caring. Be vulnerable, but smart. Be cautious, but courageous. Be the best you can be. Don’t be what anyone else wants you to be because it’s your choice and your life to live adequately.    

We are young, we run free, got our friends, got the night, we'll be all right.  Throw our hands in the air. Just leave your problems on the shelf. Laid back, laughs, freedom, but only punishable by uniformity. It's a part of who I am. In the morning, the sun rises I become incredibly fragile; a child vulnerable to the world. The wind plays as I pursue a journey. But I'm strong; persevere calmly and purely: discover and ask questions for myself.   

I find a dream and a life of my own, a place in the clouds, to think and go. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> Nature is a refuge, a lack of authority: freedom. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Love is justified through the beauty of the untamed natural world. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Sitting, Waiting, Wishing one day the devilish civilization will be vanished and sunrise will determine opportunity. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">My opinions matter as a counterpoint to the wretched governing system. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Be free and independent; Free Your Mind and Cry Freedom. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Live Life the way I'm meant to: my way. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The teachings of parents and nature is the cause of so much amazement. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> I know I've got a good thing right here, where I am now, but I want to create my own astonishments: <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">for the world to see. To discover that I matter, you matter, we matter and education is not the highest. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Don't be fancy, just get dancy. Why so serious?...Raise your glass. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I'm put here to lose no time and to question, <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">with boldness, the existence of perfection and uniformity; <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">To leave with giving all my secrets away. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Life's unexpected, but feeling the liberty, the whole lottery, of living, all day, everyday, each day, is triumph. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Who doesn't know what I'm talking about? <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">My philosophy, this philosophy, can not be purged away. It's submitted with the fullest meaning of life. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">My intention by attempting philosophical reasoning was to exude my ways of life, but this proved to be something of incomprehensible challenge. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">My philosophy is only two words I've allotted myself to: <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">
