Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. -Marcus Aurelius  

 "Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.“ - Marcus Aurelius (a paraphrased translation from Meditations)

remember when u were a kid and u used to watch the raindrops race each other outside ur car window

“Remember when you were a kid and you used to watch the raindrops race eachother outside your car window?”

And now we look in mirrors, crying at our reflections, watching tear drops race down our face, and wondering who in this society will win the race to giving up faith.

So instead we sit in silence, remembering the days of raindrops rolling down a window pane.
Youd bet on one to win.
Now we bet on who will be the first to go in this putrid world.

So just like the raindrops on the car window, we fall and break apart until suddenly- we are no more.
