Amidst all my studying I came across this
Most people believe, in a vague way, that slaughterhouses are unpleasant, but that animals raised for food are otherwise treated humanely. In fact, farm animals live in abhorrent conditions before being taken off to slaughter. Veal calves, for example, spend twenty-four hours per day in pens so small that they cannot turn around, lie down comfortably, or even twist their heads around to get rid of parasites. The producers put their heads in tiny pens to save money and to keep their meat tender. The cows clearly miss their mothers, and like human infants, they want something to suck, so they try in vain to suck the sides of their wooden stalls. The calves are also fed a diet deficient in iron and roughage, in order to keep their meat pale and tasty. Their craving for iron becomes so strong that they will lick at their own urine, if they're allowed to turn around-which normally they would never do. Without roughage, the calves cannot form a cud to chew. For this reason, they cannot be given straw bedding, since they would eat it, in an attempt to consume roughage. So, for these animals, the slaughterhouse is not an unpleasant end to an otherwise contented existence.
People make the mistake of thinking that if something hasn't gotten better or changed immediately then it hasn't at all.
These things take time, they're gradual not instantaneous and sometimes you have to turn around and look at the little differences in order to see the big difference standing right in front of your eyes.

...any frustration you have is simply the result of wrong thinking
Today I woke up feeling shit, I went out feeling shit and then I came home feeling shit. I think the whole being busy thing had just caught up with me. My body and mind were both telling me to stop, some kind of overload maybe.
Anyway, I decided to collapse on my bed and I then fell asleep. I woke up, had a shower, ate an amazing meal and presto I was magically healed.
Sometimes I think we get too caught up in living and doing everything that we forget about relaxing and doing nothing. I even feel bad sitting down watching TV because I have this constant list of things that need to be done, and people that I need to see but if I'm feeling below average how in the hell will any of these things happen? From now on I won't be feeling guilty about having time to myself because I hate feeling mentally or physically sick because when I feel this way it's impossible to achieve anything.

It's a weird thing when everything changes to the point where you can't even take a small glimpse into your past to see how things once were because it's as if they never even existed that way once upon a time. I guess it goes to show that not only have these circumstances or situations changed, but so has the person once existing in them.

Wow I just realized something
You say that you hate being judged by others, yet you completely judged me with a single sentence.
Hypocrisy is all around us and unfortunately we are surrounded by liars who are only reinforced by people with superficial qualities that are too afraid to think for themselves.
I'm not judging you for being this way, just pointing it out and I'm not going to run off and do star jumps about it either my 'friend'.

Trains bore me right about now
So I'll undress your words
Only to unbutton your lies
If you imagined it any other way
Then dear, you are even more foolish
Than you ever orchestrated me to feel
Intentionally, oh so dishonourably.

The only time
Watching the grey winds fly through us
I'm watching your fresh clothes dance next to me

“He had one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced, or seemed to face, the whole external world for an instant and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself.”
