			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the truth is unknown</p>
<p>When the truth is blurry</p>
<p>Step back and wonder&#8230;.</p>
<p>Does It Matter?</p>
<p>What&#8217;s happening only matters if you care</p>
<p>If you put value on the action</p>
<p>The truth, is only true if you believe it</p>
<p>Perception is your reality,</p>
<p>No matter how skewed it might become.</p>
<p>Truth in the depths of your soul</p>
<p>Can it be ignored&#8230;can denial really last?</p>
<p>Can the mind cover up for what the heart feels?</p>
<p>What is the truth?</p>
<p>What you believe or what you see or what you feel?</p>
<p>What is experience other than what you <em>think</em> you experience&#8230;.</p>
<p>Your perception of the experience creates the reality of the experience</p>
<p>Reality&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>Only a matter of perception&#8230;</p>
<p>and yet people put so much weight behind it</p>
<p>Every one&#8217;s truth is different, but where does it come from?</p>
<p>Does it matter?  Is it important to know the ultimate truth?</p>
<p>Why mess with a reality you&#8217;re comfortable in for the plain truth?</p>
<p>Why change realities by allowing your perception to change?</p>
<p>What if things will be better?  What if things will be worse?</p>
<p>What if the truth scares you?</p>
<p>What if you&#8217;re reality <em>is</em> denial?</p>
<p>Should you search for the truth when you have already established your reality?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twists and turns, climbing through the loops</p>
<p>Trying to reach the goals of life</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let people manipulate your goals</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t set the goals based on the wrong ideals</p>
<p>Be careful with ignorance, it will get you every time</p>
<p>Sometimes we float on clouds</p>
<p>Sometimes we drive full speed through the twists and turns.</p>
<p>Sometimes we can dance and spin</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;Getting dizzy and out of focus, just for a second.</p>
<p>Then the haze clears and we are able to see our true desires</p>
<p>The desires that last for life</p>
<p>The commitment of Love and Life, Passion and Desire.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever been so confused by something that you were involved in that you simply replay it and replay it in your head trying to figure it out&#8230;.Unfortunately all that happens sometimes is you get angrier and angrier with yourself trying to find the answers because there is no explanation for the confusion, you did something, or something happened for no reason, what so ever&#8230;..I hate feeling angry with myself&#8230;.</p>
<p>There are other instances where replays can make you feel angry as well, like when you say something you wish you could take back, or when you think of the perfect come back, right after the conversation is over and the moment for it has passed and all you can do is replay the situation in your head and insert you witty remark. </p>
<p>Why do we torture ourselves with replaying situations and moments that are over and done with in the past&#8230;.there isn&#8217;t anything that I know of that can change the past.  Once it&#8217;s done, it&#8217;s done.  Now that it&#8217;s over, we need to learn how to let it go&#8230;turn off the instant replay and move on&#8230;..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think it&#8217;s interesting to learn the way people work&#8230;everyone has different emotions, different reactions, and different things that motivate them.  Have you ever gone to the mall or out in public and just sat and watched people?  Everyone is motivated by something different, and I find that I like to guess what that is with complete strangers.  Some people just appear completely obsessed with something:  looks, money, love (lust), being the best&#8230;&#8230;everyone has something that motivates them, the key is to figure out what it is when you are dealing with them.  I think this is a hard thing to do&#8230;.it&#8217;s hard enough just to figure out what you are motivated by.  I think it&#8217;s an important aspect of self evaluation because if you don&#8217;t know what motivates you, how can you know if someone is trying to use that to control you, or at least an aspect of you???  Something to think about anyway.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Floating above</p>
<p>Separating from the rest</p>
<p>Push away the feelings and pain</p>
<p>Push away the chance of happy change</p>
<p>Look away because it could bite back</p>
<p>Look away because it might not be a true gift</p>
<p>But you can&#8217;t help but look towards the light</p>
<p>The future that you long for</p>
<p>The love that you&#8217;ve dreamed of</p>
<p>The love that makes you float in happiness,</p>
<p>instead of floating in loneliness.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t want to be brought back to earth</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t want to leave the happy love</p>
<p>You want to stay on the cloud that is safe.</p>
<p>The loving arms around you,</p>
<p>The body heat next to you,</p>
<p>The love that lights your soul</p>
<p>Makes you float&#8230;.</p>
