dependability

Dependability is very important and goes hand in hand with honesty. An honest person is typically a dependable person. Of course there are exceptions, but your are much more likely to find someone dishonest is also undependable rather than someone honest being undependable. Dependability is often something that is overlooked though, a lot of people tend to only do things if it benefits themselves in some way. For that reason I would much rather depend on myself. Perhaps a select few people who I know very well. But in short if you mainly depend on yourself than you only have yourself to blame, and you know the extent of what is within your abilities. Plus, being independent allows you more freedom, but simultaneously more responsibility. Personally I don't see that as a bad thing, I guess it  speaks wonders to my faith in humanity that I'd much rather have much more responsibility  then even attempt to depend on others. It's just easier, and well, less disappointing to depend on yourself. I know dependability is a very important trait, but I just don't see it in most people now a days. Of course, one last issue is those that are rather dependable tend to be used by those that prefer to be more or less cared for.

honesty

Honesty is one of the most important things in this world. Yet, it is also one of the most disregarded. People lie for an infinite number reasons, but none of them matter. Society is built on an honor system, you have to be able to trust what some people are saying. Things that matter most end up being lied about the most, politics for example, these are the people who we are choosing to help run the country. Every single one of them lies in their campaigns to get elected, which in a sense means our entire country is currently built on lies. Of course everyone knows to take what politicians say with a grain of salt, but that means nothing because we are still unaware of the truth. Personally, I try to stay as honest as I can. I have people who hate me to extreme amounts because of it, mainly because I don't just mean when it won't hurt people. I'm honest even if it is the last thing that person what's to hear. I'd rather be hated for the truth than liked for a lie. Oh and about the song, I chose that song because if people where to truly look at themselves honestly, a lot of them would see that we actually aren't truly living, just going with the routine of daily life.

planning

Ever-changing, the title basically says my opinions on planning. Though, the song is more relationship oriented. You can't truly plan for anything. You'd have to take everything into account, which is not possible. I tend to wing most things, which tends to work out relatively well. It does require some quick thinking every now and then, but I don't mind that. Of course somethings do indeed require some degree of planning, but on those occasions, I do the bare minimum of planning because those are the plans that are least likely to be interfered with by life, or if they are interfered with, it changes everything else that was going to happen involving those plans anyways. Some people might say not planning is irresponsible, but, if the foundations of the plans are ripped out from under you, who is going to recover better? The one who had every detail of what was going to happen? Or the one that all they bothered to plan was the time and date of whatever they were doing. The one that did the major planning will just have to throw them all out, and even then probably be distracted by them while making new plans. This is why I don't plan, nothing is set in stone.

Goals

Currently, I am undecided in my goals for the future. I know I'll figure it out soon enough, but until then, this song serves a motivator and a reminder. It talks about what can happen if you are unmotivated and don't set goals for yourself. You don't live your life and you lose yourself along the way. I have lost myself before, I intend for that to never happen again. But, for that to hold true, I need to find something in this world that ACTUALLY interests me. Which is a lot harder than you might think, I'm relatively jaded towards most things, and even the things I actually enjoy I can't see any future in (or there isn't one to be had with certain interests). Though, an annoying habit I possess in regards to this subject is that I tend to shut down the moment anyone tries to give me advice about my future or career. In short, I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to this. My very own catch twenty-two, if you will, but I intend to break it. Hey, look at that, we found a blog post topic that I actually have something to say about.
