I apologise for anyone that has been waiting for another blog, it has been a while since I last wrote.
The other day I was thinking just how one moment can define everything you stand for, what sort of person you are to become, what sort of father/mother you are to be. I started thinking at that moment, that life is a hell of a lot easier then we think. It is a question of Yes or No.
Movies like Forrest Gump mesmerism us with its insight of life, depicting it 'as a box of chocolates', but I realised that it is wrong, we know exactly what our life is going to pan out to be like: Grow old, fall in love, work, succeed, fail and die.
The bleak reality of life is are you willing to make those choices that will define you, or will you hide and make it difficult? The choice is yours. The moment is there for the taking, grasp it, don't let go.
When your time comes what will you choose?
Sorry again for not posting in a couple of months.

Crowning Glory
I am a pleb.
The sentence that should be used by a person who has just ruined all things good in their Life.
You know that moment, when you say you love someone and mean it. That finally happened to me, I really had met my 'crowning glory'! She is perfection personified. Yet, in the essence of my love, I tripped, and made the greatest mistake of my life. I cheated on her.
Why? I don't know. I could blame it on the Alcohol I had drank, but that is cowardly, the actions I make, are the mistakes I live with for the rest of my life. I have never felt like this, defeated, hurt, angry, and it all being towards myself. No one else. Me!
I have never been this sorry.

Maturity
The error of my ways will be destroyed as the future turns to present and present drifts into the eternal past. What changes is not me, but time. I drift into a different era of my life, but my ways are the same; as a teenager I can't help but notice the lie that is maturity. They say as I get older I will become wiser, clarity will shine through a water drop of life. But as I move from the October of my Teen years, I notice that I matured very little, the consequences of that are the mistakes I have made.
Maturity doesn't leave you with clarity of thought, but with a foggier glass then before, you learn to perceive things as half full or half empty, finished or incomplete, the story is always the same, and yet you find yourself asking more and more questions. Why? You get no answer. No response. Not even a thought will truly answer your questions.
I am sorry for the mistakes I make, my maturity being the truth of my naivety. The Silence I will sit in, when I realise I am wrong. To you I am sorry!

"I'm gonna show you how great I am!"
In the words of Muhammad Ali "Imma show you how great I am!"
Some people believe that vanity is a sin, I think 'Yeah. Sure, it is a sin, if it is abused and not in small amounts." For example, there is nothing like self belief. That thought you might actually be worth something in this world, rather than a tiny spec in the galaxy, or greater yet the universe.
See everyone wants to feel like they have a purpose, whether it is too lead, whether it is to follow, to help, fight, or even love. I believe I am great, or I have the potential to be. To show people that behind there small corner of society, there is a bigger world out there, it won't swallow you up, it wants you to come out, experience it, love it, live it. The world entices you to be great, to go out there and make a difference, Muhammad Ali saw that, Martin Luther King saw that, Winston Churchill saw and appreciated those who did it, JFK fought for those who wanted to do it and died trying, the point I am making, is people try and limit your greatness.
As a teenager, you feel like the outcast of society, but the truth is, the older generations fear us. They fear the potential, the power, the new generations capability to mold to the creases of society, to expand on what once stood and innovate it. The teenage populous fears nothing but themselves, some people believe it to be our arrogance, I see it as our power over them. We see things differently, no matter what our predicaments. The self belief in our hearts that shouts in our subconscious "You can do it!" this is true power.
Why let people fear your potential, let it shine, and show them you are what they need, you are that beacon of light at the end of the tunnel. Show the world how great you are!

Technology
Sorry to those who read my blog, I haven't been able to blog recently due to my laptop overheating and melting the keyboard.
So todays blog is about Technology. The way it has intertwined with our lives, and has made it near impossible to live without. With the likes of Facebook and twitter taking over our social lives the internet is one of the many things that people of the post-modern era have become entirely dependent upon.
I feel that technology has created a void, that many of today's society hide behind. Due to technology the stupid have become the intelligent, able to change the views of thousands whereas the intelligent have become hidden, not coming forth anymore due to the amount of opinionated consumers and producers that scale the web.
I think that we have become to reliant upon the internet, meaning that some of society have lost valuable communication skills, as they have not had to necessarily had to talk face to face with a person. Teenagers in particular have stopped going out, because it is easier to use the technology that creates synthetic realities for them to play in.
Admittedly I am being over critical about the use of technology, it has brought communities together, allowed them to communicate with each other quickly and efficiently just with the click of a mouse or the press of a button.

A difficult decision
Readers
I am faced with a decision, that essentially I have to make for myself, but could really do with some help on it. You see, my passion is in the field of drama, however, I have found a love for my writing, the way I get to express opinions, ideals and other entities with you. The decision comes down to what I will apply for during this year of my University application. I am currently taking Business Studies, History, English Literature and Media Studies for my AS levels, and well, as much as I want to go out into the world as an Actor, I have started to find that writing is quickly becoming an exclusive passion that I enjoy sharing, not only with friends and families, but also the internet. This is where the decision comes, do I decide to try and become that 15 Oscar award winning actor, or do I become that extremely successful and accomplished writer? Better yet, after falling in love with the program Newsroom, I am also considering the possibility of becoming a journalist.
As a teenager, we are faced with decisions, that ultimately change our life forever. Our teachers say now "the choices we make, will stay with us for the rest of our lives!" which makes the whole process even harder, how to you decide between a passion that you have had all your life, to a talent that has come rushing between your legs, in the past year, or even choosing to let the people hear what is needed to be said. I want to be good enough at drama to get into LAMDA or RADA, both of which are incredibly difficult to get into, and were the starting point to a number of famous actors and actresses.
Or do I go to a normal University, take up writing, possibly creative, or study journalism and set my sights on moving to the USA and becoming an Anchorman across seas?
If any of my readers actually read this one, I could do with a strong opinion on what I should do, tweet me on @prowseysweet, Email me proswey901@gmail.com or just leave a comment in the comment section below!

Live Laugh Love
"Live, Laugh, Love" the order in which we fall in love. The paths we will take to true love, eternal peace, and finally family. Roads that we choose make our decisions a lot clearer, but we have to live on those roads, walk along them, until the next stop sign appears and asks you that next question.
A lot of us, go on a gap year, that soul searching adventure, that should help us understand our own lives. Before we can truly see the funny side to life, we must explore it, find it, hold it. As a teenager, we often try to do this in the reverse order, find love, laugh about it, then live in it, but how do you know what love is until you have seen it on the faces of those who have lived, laughed and finally fallen in love?
Sometimes, I think we have actually lost sight of life, taken it for granted, stop actually living and started drifting hoping that we might bump into the other things on the way. Some of us get lucky, some of us do drift into the things that we are searching for, but that doesn't mean we should stop living, surely we should strive to make it last, make it greater.
So this year remember to live first!
