Hidden thoughts within the deep parts of my mind

One of my many thoughts that crosses my mind is pain. To be more specific, I think about others peoples pain. It is true that we all have pain, theres pain in everyones life, and it comes in all different shapes and sizes. It comes in a form of abuse, financial issues, negative experiences, negative people, and just life in general is tough for many people. There has to be a way out of it, a way to escape it right? That is what I hope for anyway, I mean yeah it is unavoidable but there has to be a way to lessen others pain. I get caught up in the idea of wanting to take everyones pain.

I wish that I had the ability to take away everyones pain, because pain is suffering that can turn into pure agony, it can hurt so much that all one feels is internal pain day in and day out. The best I can do to help and do my part to help others out is to make jokes, and offer my support to the best of my abilities. I know what it feels like to be at a really low point in life, the point where you think its time to call it quits, the point where you think you have fought enough. You believe that you have reached that point where you are about to break for the last time for good, you believe that you are not going to survive any more storms, you believe that after all this time of boxing that its the final round and don't want to get up. I want to let you know something though. The pain you feel, it will go away and do you want to know why? It will go away because no one suffers forever.

The secret is to start loving yourself, to start believing again, to dream as if you were a kid, to take steps to get out of your dark place. You think it is too hard, use your support system, don't have one then email me and get into contact with me, get help, you have to find that strength in yourself thats been there all along, you have to keep walking the pathway because your journey of life is only just getting started. The good parts are coming so don't miss out.

Think about this too, if we don't have pain, if we don't suffer then how will we know what happiness is, what true happiness is? Why would we appreciate it? Why enjoy it? We know what happiness is because we know what it means to be in pain. We can use our past pain to make the world a better place so that no one has to suffer the way we did, we can help each out, we can teach others, and when it is all said and done then we will look back on the bad times together and see the pain as a blessing. The pain helps make us who we are so wear those internal scars with a smile, and show others and have a conversation with them. The pleasure will come after you go through the pain. The pain will not stay forever so go out and be your amazing self. We all have this light about us, and all of our souls are beautiful so shine bright ladies and gentleman.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
