Falling in selfishness, arrogance, jealousy, failure...

Too much emphasis is put on ourselves. We think if we love ourselves or put our needs first we will be better equipped to love others and be in meaningful, committed relationships. People are always saying, "you need to love yourself before you can love others." This is the only way to true happiness. But, I was always taught that we should put others wants and needs before our own. I believe that if we, as individuals, make a conscious decision to be second to others that we will love better and live happier lives. 

Being loving is a selfish act in and of itself because when you show love to others and you witness the positive effect it has on them, you feel good about yourself, which makes loving

Friend II

Zoe has had some dramatic and depressing relationships in her life. When we were catching up on lost times she told me of a ex boyfriend who had beaten her up. She also told me of her husband (now ex husband) who had cheated on her for 6 months (probably longer). When she found out about her husband cheating on her she confronted him, and with no remorse he blew her off. Needless to say, she ended that.

Friend

I've written on writing lyrics, and things pertaining to that, but I'm going to start my first post on my life. But not just mine, but friends and family also. Names will be changed to protect the innocent, the only name that is real will be mine, unless otherwise noted.
I write about my life, and friends and family, because that's always a great way to get the creative juices flowing. I also apologize for any future rants, that is not my intention.

First story is about my best friend Zoe and me. She picked the name I would use to write about her.

Eavesdropping

Eavesdropping on someone else's conversation is very rude. But, it's great for writing songs!  

People say crazy, funny, and insightful things when they think no one is listening.

Next time you're out with your friends, try listening to a near by conversation. Don't forget a notebook. If you hear anything interesting write it down. Write anything and everything you hear, and see. You never know what's going to lead you to the perfect song, or story.
