To act broken is to break.

Sometimes we just need a change...Sometimes we just need something different. Something that ignites a spark in us, something that causes us to think 'outside' the box. I don't really understand much of anything. I know that I love music, and I know that I love to express my feelings through words, I know that I was always born to be a Marine and serve my country...And I know that upper most in my mind are sacrificing for the ones I love and serving others. The elite are not defined by what they wear on their collar or by how many awards or accolades they have. The elite are simply defined by what they do, the elite are the one's that will do what no one else will. Yet in a world so big, a world where we are so small and insignificant, where do we find our significance? Do we find it in something? In someone? or in what we do? Sometimes our answers lie in none of those things. Sometimes they lie inside of us...In what we believe. Its hard for me not to get deep, not to try and solve the worlds problems. However, I take peace in knowing that I won't...But that doesn't mean I can't try to understand them. The difference between solving problems and understanding them is that people will always change, as predictable humans can be, in the same manner we can be just as unpredictable. And because of that it is impossible to solve the worlds problems. All we can do is try our hardest to understand them, to figure out why they happen, and what causes people to do certain things. Its so easy to be consumed by our thoughts and how we feel, but what I've started to realize is that I will always be broken...Some wounds will never heal. And I can't control that, but what I can control is how I affect those wounds to influence my life. We can always find reasons to act broken, battered, and bruised. But if that's how we act, then all we will ever do is break, batter, and bruise.
