Life can be a wilderness in itself.

It is so easy to wander around in

Go with the flow

Allow this place to shape the way we think, which in return, shapes the way we act

Our wilderness shapes our beliefs about ourselves

Our wilderness can make us tolerant to all that is around us.

You have to admit, what else do you expect if that is all people know, and see.

The wilderness becomes the norm, and many assume this is all that there is.

I have come to believe with all of my logic and heart, that one doesn't have to remain living in the wilderness of life, but one can actually stand up with a curious mind, and see what is beyond those mountains in the distance.

Many remain in the wilderness, but few have chosen to take the journey, to start a new life, in a new land, beyond the wilderness.

Life wasn't meant to be lived wandering in this mess, we were meant for the journey of freedom from these norms that so many tolerate.

The life of a rockstar:

The women

Lines on the table

Nice cars

Nice houses

A lot of smiles

A lot of dancing

No rags, only riches

The laid back life as a celebrity

No hard work, only play

How great it is to live as a rockstar!

But.....

What about STDs

What about despair

What about the celebrities who overdosed on the drugs you gave

What about alcoholism

What about the single mothers you left behind with children to look after because the fathers followed you

What about the celebrities that committed suicide because of despair

What about the teenage girls getting pregnant, and missing out on their young adulthood because now they have to raise a child, some with the man around some without

Or what about infants without a voice to be heard being aborted because the mother was not ready to have a child

What about the violence we see in our world today

What about the degrading of women

What about pain

What about my pain

What about my broken home

What about my father that I had to do without because he trusted in your lies

What about my mother who was never around because she wanted to experience you

What about all the heartaches I had to go through because I too believed you

Now I see...Hollywood lies!
