Nice, Naiive & Beautiful - PLUMB (dedix to Mei)

Nice, Naiive, & Beautiful - PLUMB

She’s only known heartache and pain

But she’s never known pain like this

She stands alone defending her name

When all that she’s done is "be who she is"

Well is it so wrong to be who we are

When all she’s done is "fail"

Cause she’s so nice, naive and beautiful

Why does she get taken advantage

Why does she live in a world so cold

She takes advantage of the nice, naive and the beautiful

Cold is the throne of her hardened heart

No one has seen the softest part

Day after night she holds an ache

And won't budge to show this secret place

Well is it so wrong to hang on to hurt

Maybe she could set it free

Cause she’s so nice, naive and beautiful

Why did she get taken for granted

Why did she live in a world so cold

He took advantage of the nice, naive and the beautiful

If you’ve been there you know

If you’re still there hang on

We’re all dealt our lumps of coal

What you do with it can turn beautiful

Well there’s a life outside of this madness

And there’s a face behind every scar

But there’s a love overflowing with gladness

Get out of that place that’s restraining your love

I said get out of that place that’s restraining your love

43

Today you should have been 43....

Why did it have to happen, I guess we'll all know in due time.

No use wishing it were another way, but I can hope your memory spurs others on to greatness..

Humans and pearls....very similar. The biggest and most beatiful pearls come out of the ugliest oysters. For people, it's very similar. There are some who look, to most, very beautiful on the outside, and held togethor. But if you opened them up, they're really not so nice, and cracked and not a good person to have around. There are others of us, however, who may not be the prettiest thing to look at, but if you got to know us, you might change your mind. The outside may not be that nice, but the inside is pure and beautiful and shining... and is so because of all the people who passed up that gorgeous pearl within, simply because it's oyster was covered in algae. They rush to pick out the nice looking oysters, and are later disappointed to find that what hides inside is actually the opposite of what they sought.
The rarer the pearl, the more precious. The few and far between people we find who are shining gems inside of their shell, these are the rarest of all. The beauty held inside of them will flow outward, thus showing them in a brand new light, illuminating outer beauty never before fathomed. Also, though, we may find once in a very blue moon, the precious pearl encased by a similarly attractive oyster. The only problem with these, and it's a very common one, is whether it is genuine or a fake pearl. One can never truly be sure.

Hey look, I made Sushi.... it tasted pretty flippin' good, if you ask me (and the other 8 people who ate it).

Love Letter

This is the sweetest letter in the whole world. So few words but oh the meaning....I don't know how many of you will grasp it. It was sent by "cb2" (code-named for the privacy of the writer) to my best friend, Amay, a few weeks ago.
