The Stranger
August 24, 2014
While making a hard choice,
I heard The Stranger's voice.
As I relaxed in the grass,
I noticed The Stranger pass.
I went out to go stargazing,
and saw The Stranger walking.
I woke up one day to my reflection,
to see The Stranger facing my direction.
Why'd it take so long for me to see,
That The Stranger was actually me?

Hi Ryan sorry if it's taken so long for me to reply but just for the record I'm planning to create a new email adress. I'll send you a sign when it's done ;) It's just that I'm having a lot of tests and exams preperation this period so I don't want you to think that I've left you down. I'm still all in ^_^ and by the way I've talked about it to my BFF and she really liked it cuz if you see her or hear her thoughts you'd probably think that we're the same, they always call us "TWINS" she gave me really good ideas too ;) So please Ryan know that even if I'm not around a lot our goal together will never fade away. I'm just taking care of my studies this year and I promise that whenever I get a chance to be free I'll come around and help you with whatever you need or whatever they need cuz we're doing this for people right?! ^_^ Tell me if you feel that something's wrong and please tell me you're not feeling left down. If there's anything you need or you want to suggest just let me know okay?! ;) Meanwhile O_O as always Wide Open :P Hope yours too are like this O_O lol Take care.

I'm glad that your dreams are coming true. :) You deserve to have your dreams to come true. Your work has inspired me and helped me, that I wish sometimes that you knew how much; I'm pretty sure that it has consoled others, helped others and inspired others. Also, haha. Sorry for the very late reply. I've been having some serious problems with myself, but that's not a good excuse and hardly a excuse. I apologize again. But yeah! I'm really glad that your dreams are coming true; like I said, you deserve it and this will just be the start. :) You have a lot of goodness coming up your way, my friend. Thank you so much, again. :)
I know we can't keep doing this on Teenink lol so how about you give me your email? If you wouldn't mind of course ^_^ You must have gone through a lot in your life, I don't know what to say... I don't want to see you with a pity look cuz reading your msg and getting to know you a little better these last days, i truly believe that you managed so well to get over so many hard times. I don't want to be one of those people who feel sorry for the ones who had a hard life, i wanna be someone who feels happy when i see that person, who went through hursh moments, having the strength to face anything, fight and gets over it. Am I making sense to you?! O_o lol To wrap it all, I just want you to know that I admire you for so many things, one of those things is the fact that you had the strength to deal with so much and still be and stick to who you are, a kind, gentle and honest and funny mysterious guy :P lol I really mean it ^_^ And by the way, you are right, that's what we'll need in our little adventure :" To speak freely!" I can see that! It's really good so carry on like that O_O and I'll do so too :P as always
What country and how will we stay in contact. We an't keep doing this on TeenInk. lol I completely understand and agree with what you said. Growing up I was taken from my Dad by my Mom. She met a man and that man was abusive. He'd beat my sister and I and would make my Mom do the same. My Dad went to prison on false information and fake evidence. Now that we can prove we're trying to get him out. I've been homeless before, about 1 month or so. I've seen people shot, stabbed, and beaten close to death. I've been at drug deals. I want this world to be saved. To show that evil is everyone. Not just at one time of day or at certain parts. It's everywhere and I really want to help fix that. I want people to be one with themselves, to be one with others, and in the end to be one with life. It's going to be difficult, really difficult. The outcome though, will be worth all the effort if we succeed. You didn't talk to much. You spoke freely. That's what we'll need. :) O_O <You see that? They're wide open. lol
lol And you're funny! lol Even though the idea was mine I would be more than pleased to hear some of your suggestions about how to go through all this. Perhaps you don't know it yet but I live in a far country which is not as much developed as USA but is still going through a path leading to a better life and a better country. So what I'm saying here is that the adventage you have is those open doors and opportunities that really plays an imprtant role in educating and in the imagination of every child. I'm kind of saying that in my country, every child tries the best to have an unlimited imagination, hopes and dreams but it's still not easy due to the low opportunities we get to have once adult. I hope you're getting what I mean here ^_^ However I'm gonna try my best to be as good and helpful as I can. We're a team as you said and we're supposed to give all we have and still be as one and only one person. I will do what I know I'm good at and you will help doing your thing too. I will give any suggestion I get and know that it might be right and you do so too and in the other hand what I know I can't do I want to make sure that you will be up to complete, as if we complete each other. Everyone does its own thing, everyone suggests ideas and we make sure to come up with the best solution ever. I truly hope you didn't get lost with what I said and got what I mean. Just one favor: "Could you please look up for my country on Google?!" I think you'll get it then. But don't get me wrong, I'm still and will always be proud to belong here cuz I know with all my heart that this is only a land and what makes it so developed is its own citizens and their true will. It's not the fault of the country. I think that's one of the reasons that made me wanna change the world and people's behavior...No matter how long it takes, I will always fight for a better life and fight for what is right. O_o wow I talked a lot sorry lol :P Anyways, please let me know if you have any suggestion and tell me what you think about what I said ^_^ O_O as always :P Keep them wide open like mine, okay?! lol :P
You're a character. A goofy one, but an awesome one none the less. So how are we going to go about doing this? We're a team, so we should have fair game to all of it. The idea was yours in all honesty. So I'm thinking you should be in charge... especially since you have eyes like that. O_O lol ;P
Ryan I'm so glad you liked the idea! You're right, that's exactly what I thought of, our blog will be successful. With our true passion and pure intention I'm pretty sure the blog will keep standing and reach so many hearts and lives. As long as we have an honest will, nothing can stand in our way. I'm so happy and exited to see what's gonna happen ^_^ Thanks a lot again for the support and for wishing me luck ^_^ And by the way, you're right it's your poem so you should write and comment whatever you please lol. O_O as always :P I hope I can see all the answers with eyes like those!!! Lol :P
The blod idea is amazing. Establish some type of help/life line. Become another on of those call groups and internet pages. Have people help who actually understand the pain. Not all these fake people, but real people willing to change a life. I love that idea Comet. As well as it's my poem, I'll comment what I please. lol Good luck on your test. O_O with eyes like those. You ought to see all the answers. :)
You know what?! I have my BAC exam this year, the one I pass so I can go to college :D So I don't want you to think that I've left you down if you don't see me around here a lot this period ^_^ I'm up to what you suggested and I would love to be a part of this amazing adventure. I will do my best to come around whenever I can ;) I hope you get what I mean ^_^ Concerning our goal, I'm not sure actually I was thinking of creating a Blog together or something like that, where anyone can reach us whenever they need help. Tell me what you think okay?! Mmmmhhh Also tell me if you have any better idea I would love to hear it ;) As always still O_O wide open :P Take care ^_^ P.S: Once again, just know that I'm always here, i'm all in and if I have to I can put my studies aside and come right away to help, cuz believe me saving people and helping them through the pain is more important than anything else in this world. That's what proves the power of kindness and humanity, without it we would be lost.
Of course it's okay ^_^ I do believe that together we can do so much more. We can help people by sharing some ideas of how to save them and then figuring out what's the best ;) I think it would be great RyanM. Exactly! With two great minds and passionate souls willing to help and lead people to the right way and lighten up the darkness, I truly believe we can make it through :D "Impossible is just a word for those who don't try ^_^ " O_O Look they are still and will always be wide open O_O :P Thanks a lot for everything.
I hope this is okay, but I'd really like to get to know you past TeenInk. I just feel like, maybe if I really knew you... we could help more people. Maybe think of an idea that could save lies. I don't know though. With 2 great minds and passionate souls like ours working towards the same goal, nothing would be impossible. Anything could happen. One sliver of hope at a time. O.O Keep them wide open! O.O :P
Lol it's okay, me too I make a lot of mistakes. But the point is that I got what you mean ^_^ Thank you so much for your belief in me. I'm so glad i had a chance to make you smile/laugh :) Knowing that I am the reason of someone else's smile is such an honor and makes me feel like I somehow reached my goal. You're right, we as human are doing what we're meant to do. Perhaps I don't need to respect you for your honesty but I do and there's nothing you can do about it :P cuz believe me the world is drowning in between evil and bad people. So finding someone who still wants the best for others even more than him/herself is becoming rare day after day. However finding you and some others here and there just keeps that glimmer of hope lightened inside. It keeps me believing that we still can make a change. So I know that no matter how few good people there are, we're still stronger with our faith. I feel like I went a little far of the point but it's truly how I felt reading your last comment ^_^ Sorry if there's any mistake. Thanks a lot again for your belief. I'm keeping my eyes O_O wide open :P
