I've been seeing so many people post statements as facts lately. Definite and universal. I dont really believe in universals. Theres too many loop holes and exceptions. But I have thought to myself about what I can say about anything and have it be some what true. This is all I've really found. And theres definite exceptions to all of these.

Definition of Death:
the action or fact of a person dying or being killed; the end of the life of a person or organism.

My definition of Death:
Death reassures us that there really isn't a right way to say goodbye.

Definition of Love:
the strong affection for another rising out of kinship or personal ties.

My definition of Love:
Love isn't black and white. It isn't colored within the lines or anywhere near them. Love is when our hearts go rogue from our instincts and decide to take a very costly, stupid chance. I hate love.

Definition of a Story:
an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment.

My definition of a Story:
A story is born inside tragedies and victories. Its made up of every part of our being, who we are and who we want to be. Its not easy to find real stories. Its easy to look past them. But if you take a step back from thinking your life is the only story that matters, you will find epics stapled to the roofs of strangers mouths.


Definition of Happiness:
a state of well being and contentment.

My definition of Happiness:
Happiness isn't what you would expect. It isn't in a rush to find you or have you find it. Its patient. A sleeping giant in the field of our despair. Just waiting for you to come into it, to see it resting between pain and learning. And hoping that some day, you wont have to keep trying to define it.


Definition of Writing: ( i love this one)
meaningful letters and characters that constitute readable matter.

My definition of Writing:
Writing is when we give our soul a chance to breath. Its airing out our dirty laundry. Its purging our minds onto paper like a band aid.


Definition of Honesty:
the quality or fact of being... honest. (thank you mr. webster.)

My definition of Honesty:
Honesty is letting go of who you think you are. Its when you decide that nothing is worth hiding and anything is worth sharing. Its cracking open your rib cage so I can see your scars, your wounds and everything thats brought you here today. Its beautiful.
