Everybody Knows

I decided this post is gonna be a combo attack. Part thoughts, Part MUSIC SHARING. Because music makes the world go round. Seriously. There's this space guy who plays his juicebox, and that makes the world turn. When he doesn't play his juicebox, the world stops. So music makes the world go round.

Since when has it become uncool to show that you care and show evidence of your hard work? Those who work hard in school and get good grades, they're doing what's right, but we band against them, call them nerds and geeks and make outcasts out of them. It's the same story for anyone with passion. For those with the courage to do what we're too afraid to do. We knock them down, make fun of them, destroy their confidence. I can't say I'm free of this guilt. We're all guilty. We all know that they're doing the right thing, what we wish we could be doing, but it's so much easier to blend in the crowd and be like everybody else. Everybody Knows..

We hide our emotions. Why has it become so hard for us to admit feelings for another? Why hide our feelings, in general? Has it become the norm to be like a statue, cold and unexpressive? What do we live for, if not to make life a little easier for each other? People are only inclined to show kindness when others do it first. Why is kindness something that you need to be peer pressured into? Maybe people don't realize how far just a simple act of kindness can go, the difference between a good and a bad day. Maybe not. Everybody Knows..

Everybody Knows - John Legend

This has nothing to do with the above, it's just an amazing song. As one a close friend once told me, John Legend is a God.


"Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it."




***** EDIT *****
in the first paragraph, i meant boombox. not juicebox.
