Credo

I believe that things get better over time. Sure, we all have those moments where it seems that the darkness will never lift but I believe - I have to believe - that the sun will eventually shine again. I also believe that we all should learn to value those moments in the darkness for these moments oft lead to an appreciation of the light when it indeed returns to us. Also, I believe that we shouldn't take the light for granted because darkness is always lurking around the corner.

I believe that everyone should believe in something. I have so much respect for people who stand for something, even when that something is something that is contrary to something I believe. I do not respect people who don't believe in anything. Even if you don't believe in anything, i believe you should have a belief in that thing you are not believing in.

I believe in love. I believe that love does exist in many forms and that love is assessable to all that desire to have it. I am afraid of love. I am afraid of the path that love will lead me down. I am afraid of loving and even more afraid of being loved by someone who will have this undeniable, unshakable, everlasting love for me. I am afraid of hurting someone, especially when love is at state. I cannot bear the thought of hurting someone who truly loves me.

I believe in a higher power. I believe in God. I believe that he is watching, I believe that he is with us every moment of the day. I take comfort in this belief. It's the reason why I can lay my head down on my pillow and fall fast asleep without an overwhelming fear of the outside world. It's the reason why i can get in my car everyday and drive to work, to school. I believe that my connection to God is on a level that only he and I understand. I talk to him everyday and I request his guidance, his patience, his understanding and I trust that everything in my life is governed by his power.

I believe that life goes on and should go on even in moments where we wish that it would either cease or slow down.

I believe that children are perhaps the greatest aspect of life. Because of this, I fear children. I fear having children but that should not suggest that I wouldn't want to be a father. In fact, I would love to be a father but I am terrified of such. I realize that no parent is perfect. No child is perfect. I am scared that my actions and my direction will directly influence and shape my son or my daughter and perhaps lead them down a path that I fear is not a good path for them.
