Fourteenth Scribe: Into the world I go

Is it time?

Is it time to change? Is it time to reveal my soul, from obscurity, from hiding? Is it time to release myself into world? Society says yes, but my heart remains uncertain...scared? Yesterday was my valedictory dinner. It marked the dismissal of us boys from school and our release into the open world as we spread our knowledge and values through our relation with others. A great leader once said "don't be afraid of change...don't be too comfortable" as a testament to his will to stretch his boundaries. I believe this is exactly what I need to achieve. To stretch my boundaries and not be afraid of mistakes. To stand for my values and what I believe in even if it meant standing alone attracting the torment of others.

I am ready to explore the world...

I am ready to learn and respect the values of others...

I am ready to build relations...

I am ready to treasure those that are close and far...

I am ready to be proud of who I have become...

I am ready to influence the world...

I am ready to be happy....

Thirteenth Scribe: The Crack Within

Is it wrong to be hurt by someone you don't even like?

Why do I feel this way...like I've made a huge mistake?

Yesterday I ended it with someone I've known for a while, just like that I severed the relationship...the connection...was it wrong? If I had left it to run the way it would...It may have been alot worse..but was it wrong to take fate into my own hands?? I just don't know the answer.. doubt fills itself in my mind, I suppose regret is the worse state of thought isn't it..

Just let it go.. don't leech on to it, don't think about it, don't ever look back on it...

- Time.. a keeper of secrets and yet only it will give an answer... a great killer and yet only it will bring new life...

Eleventh Scribe: The Best Year Yet

Today, I'm sitting at my desk, thinking and reflecting on the suspension of time in which I lay. This moment, like a gap in reality acts as a vacuum for happiness. I pray it will last forever, but I know that it won't... The year draws closer to an end, and I know that friendships will be shattered as we walk our separate paths into the world. The people that I've known and taken for granted as figures in my everyday life disappear. This precious moment, I hope it will stay...but at the same time a little part of me looks forward in to the future. There’s always a point where one must move on, and I feel this point approaching closer each day. I suppose that is the way life is. Everything will always have an expiration date. Happiness depends on your perception and the way you use the time before expiration. So that is what I’ll do, live the moment, think positively, love others and be happy, for time will flash before one’s eyes.

Firth Scribe: Candle Light

A candle can only lead you so far in a pathway of darkness, before it runs out. If you cherish it... The pain, burn and scar before it leaves marks not the last of hope.

Imagine... being in a dark place...trying to open your eyes, but..it’s already open. There’s no sense of touch, just the light cold breeze on your fingertips. Frozen ice trickles your back while warm salty drops runs down your cheeks. Your heart..it left you in a state of endless grief and anger. Every gush of wind whispers sounds of death in your ears. You are left with...nothing but an imagination of hope. Time has lost all meaning to you as this suffering is eternal. Your soul tells you to die..it wants to leave this wretched body, every fibre in your body tells you to listen to it...but...something, some indescribable factor holds you back, just giving you that small amount of hope, that brief moment that’s enough for you to carry on just a little more, but not enough to save you... You suffer more, screaming on the inside while no one hears you... You run, scared and disorientated you just keep running..trying to escape the fear, you run so fast but even your hardest effort doesn’t change a thing...Finally, you collapse...only to re awaken trying to open your eyes again....

-Time, the most valuable thing..no one can ever get back..or change...
