We call call them "Hidden Strangers".

We call call them "Hidden Strangers".

One often wonders what is this world coming to when others decide to take the lives of people that have not harmed them or caused their lives to be unbearable. No I'm not here to judge others but I am allowed to have an opinion. Maybe others do not see it the same way as I do and may not like the words I speak but I will continue to speak my mind.

We don't know what causes others to take the lives of innocent people then allow their lives to be spared. I and others would like to ask? How can one live with themselves knowing they killed innocent people. Even the shooters that do survive do not offer us any answers to as why?  Maybe they don't understand why themselves.

We all can use excuses like times are hard or I needed the money. Maybe I got fired and it pissed me off. Or I'm tired of being bullied. Maybe that is their reason we can't assume it's not. I know this does not justify shooting a mall full of  men and women or a school full of innocent children that didn't have a chance to grow up and live out their lives as adults.

I call these people, The hidden Strangers. These people are seen by many some we have known them personally. But we can never see it coming. Then we hear their name of who the shooter was then realize it was someone we have known a long time. Sometimes their message is clear we just don't hear it loud enough. 

Don't get too close to me because you'll only see that dark lives inside of me. For I only know that is where my angry demons hide so very deep inside my mind.

"Freedom of Happiness".

What we decide to do with our lives everyday will always be a challenge. Today I choose to live life to the fullest. In the mornings when you wake up you have a choice to Be happy, feel sad, be angry, Maybe depressed and have negative thoughts throughout the day.

I think every person needs to know that to feel the freedom that comes from living you must be able to continue to make mistakes and choices. Today is a good day to choose to feel life, not to deny it but embrace it. 

Be yourself everyday and in the end you will love who you have become. Because only then can you smile and be content to live your life and know the,

"Freedom of Happiness".

Stand strong be true to yourself.

Stand strong be true to yourself.

Our lives can be a long lived or it can be short lived. It's our choice. Sometimes, it's okay to walk alone it gives us time to reflect on our lives and change if needed.
We don't have the right to point out someone's flaws and mold them into "Perfection".

Life is about Loving ourselves and knowing it's ok to be, Sad or angry with life sometimes. No one is perfect but to ourselves we may be and that's what matters. Judgement doesn't.
When we carry ourselves through life. We offer "Love & Respect for ourselves and others then there should be no room for, Disappointment or to change someone.

When you have a world of people who Love life and offer respect to those who surround them then, We should never second guess who we are as a person.
So I say Love yourself and the person you have become because you are the one who can only decide to,
Stand strong be true to yourself.
