I opened my eyes, last night, and saw you in the low light
Walking by the bay, on the shore
Staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore
You happened to look, and see, the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground

I believe that anything could be what you want it to be. As long as you believe in it and work hard to achieve it.

No one can make you do something that you don't want to, because ultimately, it's your life, and live it the way you want it. They may comment, approve, disapprove. But true friends give you space to bump around and make mistakes. They won't force you and make you succumb to peer pressure.

Let's say they managed to make you succumb under their pressure and you made a decision that was to what they want. What if it backfires? What if things are going downhill instead? You'll have to clear up the mess caused, as bad as it sounds.

Ultimately, you are the one in charge of your life. Enjoy, make yourself happy.

I think of religion as a belief, a belief where everyone is free to explore (with faith). Not to be bounded tightly down by it, somewhat against your will, and do things that you do not enjoy for the sake of religion.

Personally, family comes first in my books, and nothing can ever change that. It was because I saw, I experienced, I learnt, and I know, so I can diss religion at the moment. For me, who needs religion when I've got my family? My strength stems from there, and has its sturdy roots grounded there.

When people get lost, and have no where else to fall back on, I fall back on my family. Others on religions.

I once believed, and I lost faith. Then I heard, I saw, I experienced. I've lost respect, faith and belief for certain things, and damn you if you say I'm gonna go to hell because of that. When you're in too deep, you alter your thinking too much, that you refuse to be open to other ideas. No wonder even the greatest of politicians fear religion, because of such people. They brainwash in the most subtle yet thorough manner. That was what I saw, and this is what I think.

Feel free to throw in more things for me to ponder.
