Simplicities of the Human Heart

Love is a universal word. Love has a residence in every country’s vocabulary. Love is known all around the world. Love is experienced in all cities. Love dwells in every human across the globe. Love is the one human emotion that all individuals can associate with.

How does one person encounter love? How does an individual perceive love? How does ones self define love?

Some say love comes around once in a life time. Some say that there is one array of eyes for each person on this globe. Some say there is one set of lips for your lips.

Love doesn’t come around the corner. Love doesn’t pop its head up in every opening. Love doesn’t show up at your door step. Love doesn’t plummet from the sky.

Love comes from learning, discovery, and development. Love comes from pain, anguish, and comprehending reality. Love comes from not the opposite person, but from you. Love advances through reliance, admiration, and beliefs.

How does one unearth love? How does one recognize love? Easy, you just know.

Love is like combat. A person will fight for love and do everything in their power to shelter love. One will renounce love for love. One will disregard love than recollect love. One will vanish from defeat than return due to love.

So why do we fall in love? What makes one return to love after a tragedy? The simple solution is love.

Love conquers all. Love makes the strongest person frail. Love makes one question certainty. Love makes one youthful. Love makes one vigorous. Love makes one endure. Love is all!

Love makes the fragile sturdy. Love makes the sightless perceive. Love makes the cold warmhearted. Love overthrows sorrow. Love surmounts hatred.

Love is not about appearances. Love is not about wealth. Love is not about reputation.

Love is about the little things. Love is about the annoying things. Love is about the crazy things. Love is about experiences with the one you love.

When one falls in love its like being in a movie. The love scenes start to make more sense. The music seems to sound better. The ending credits never seem to come. The love just seems to keep playing.

Love is the most profound feeling in the world. Love will kick you down in the deepest seas than bring you back for air. Love makes you find yourself, your one true calling in life. That one true calling is not about wealth or advancement in the social latter. That one true calling reflects your love upon another person. You will fight when you’re down. You will deny past enticements. You will forget all heartrending memories. You will start to believe in the unbelievable. You will find the true meaning of this earth when you find love!

Turning A New Leaf

I’ve been dealing with a lot of drama lately. From losing my best friend in the world, being really sick, and having to move out of my apartment. I have the best friends in the world to lean on. My family has been there for me from point A to now, and I couldn’t ask for a better family. I’ve been really disheartened about all of this, but now I’m turning a new leaf.

I realized that I can’t just sit around and concentrate on the bad situations going on in my life. Now, I’m looking on the constructive side of things. See my best didn’t vanish; she’s still around and kicking. We finally dated, and experienced a lot of astonishing times together, and fell in love. Things didn’t work out as intended, and the saying was true “Love Will Tear Us Apart.” She still is the most incredible person I have ever encountered in my life, and we don’t loathe each other or anything like that. I can no longer think badly about our association. I learned that I have developed so much from knowing her, and that’s what she was put on this earth to do for me. Even though it’s hard to envision that we can no longer be best friends anymore, I only think about what she has done for me. She has pushed me to do so many things in life. I thank her for that, and I can’t be mad at her for following her heart. I’m looking at the bright side of the break up now, and it feels a lot better to do that, rather than think about “what if.” Even if I still do love her, I know we had our chance, and maybe one day we can be friends again. That’s alone makes me feel better about life.

Having to move away from my apartment is another burden I have to deal with. My best friend Sean Carmack is moving to Turkey, and I couldn’t be happier for him to see a separate part of the world. He’s always wanted to move away from the U.S. and this is something he will love. With him moving out, I have to move back home with the parents. Oh no, it sucks I know, but look on the bright side of this situation. I’m in school right now, and it will permit me to concentrate more on my studies. I will accumulate money, and I can travel a lot more. I will have groceries to eat that don’t consist of a microwave, and a drive-thru window. Plus I can procure all my favorite brew with out feeling guilty about paying nine dollars for a six pack. Microbreweries of Utah get ready, you stock will go up when I move back home. Last but not least I can pay off my car a lot faster than expected, then that will be another bill that I no longer have to fret about.

If you ever have a bad month or two like I have, don’t worry it will get better. I learned a lot about myself from all of this, and I ‘am stronger as a person. I look at life different now. You’ll most likely get your heart broken time and time again, but it gets easier, you’ll have to deal with taking steps back. If you’re fierce, you’ll take two more before it gets any worse. Just stay strong, and excuse yourself from the bottle, it doesn’t solve anything.

Welcome To Picturepear

Pictures freeze time! I wish I can freeze time here and there, so that's why I take as many pictures as I can. I like to show off my home town of Salt Lake City, Utah, my many adventures around the states, and show off how cool my group of friends are.
Pictures tell and show a thousands words. They show the best of times and the worst of times. The show the human eye how beautiful this world really can be, and it shows us how ugly the world can be.
Pictures take people to places they have never been. Like the top of Everest, the deep forests of Brazil, and the small town Helper, Utah.
So enjoy my view of the world, and listen to the music I listen to to get me through it!
