I'll always have you

Tattoo by Jordin Sparks

No matter what you say about love,
I keep coming back for more,
Keep my hand in the fire,
Sooner or later I get what I'm asking for
No matter what you say about life,
I learn every time I bleed the truth is a
Stranger soul is in danger
I gotta let my spirit be free to...
Admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind

(Chorus)
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry bout everything I done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back got a new direction
I loved you once
Needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo I'll always have you
I'll always have you
I'll always have you

I'm sick of playing all of these games
It's not bout taking sides
When I looked in the mirror,
It didn't deliver, it hurt enough to think that I could stop
Admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I got to be strong and leave you behind

I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing's broken no need to worry bout everything I done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back got a new direction
I love you once
Needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you
I'll always have you
I'll always have you

If I live every moment,
Won't change any moment,
There's still a part of me in u
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do.
Oooh...

(Chorus)2x
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing's broken no need to worry bout everything I done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back got a new direction
I loved you once
Needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're in my heart just like a tattoo

Just like a tattoo
I'll Always have you...



Life is like acting. Or rather, acting is like life. In acting, you are acting in the role of a character, or a person that someone has created. If you are any good at acting once you finish with the job you will take something away from the character. Maybe it's some motion that you had them do because it fit with their personality. Or it could be something that they always said. Or what normally happens to me, I find myself acting in a certain way or thinking in a certain way and I realize, Oh, wow, I am acting just like this character that I was.

It's a peculiar feeling. Feeling like someone else. It's just like when you are friends with someone, or even not friends, you will find yourself sometimes doing things that they would do. It's in my firm belief that every person you encounter will somehow have an impact on your life. If they don't, you weren't paying enough attention and you need to learn how to be a spectator to your own life.

Once you learn how to be a people watcher, a great trait for acting folk, you can see yourself in every person. Even those who you would think would be the farthest away from you. Like they say, "Ignorance breeds intolerance". For some people, it's hard to image why someone, a girl, might like girls, or the same for guys. Or why someone would not like those who are mentally or physically handicapped. Or even those people who don't like people who are a different race or religion.

It comes from not knowing about what they are talking about. Not thinking about all ends of the spectrum. Not knowing all of the facts. I'm not kidding myself in thinking that I am tolerant of every human being. Am I tolerant of a rapist, probably not. But that doesn't give me any reason to hate every person I don't understand. With more understanding, would there even be rapists? I don't know, and I don't think we as a human race will ever find out. Because we are flawed. As everyone should be.

It reminds me of that story, the title is escaping me at the moment, where there is the beautiful, perfect girl, well she would be perfect, if she didn't have a birthmark on her face. In the end it is removed and suddenly she isn't there. Because it is the faults and marks on our bodies and personalities that make us beautiful. Because if everyone was 'perfect' then what would that be?

We would all be boring and alike. But just because we aren't alike, doesn't mean that we should be intolerant or hate. It's because of us being different that we are all the same. We are all the same in our eccentricities.

We are all the same, yet different. And it is because of this, this wonderful thing that I wish more people would understand. Like watching a bag caught up in a windstorm. Watching it just fly around, dance in the wind, up and down. Because of this, we are all beautiful. We are all human.
