Someone may now have an expectation of you that you are uncomfortable with. This person sees you as a more refined, less imaginative version of yourself. Perhaps this person is hoping to soften some of your wild ideas or tame your imagination. While this individual’s goal is purely to help you - since this is someone who cares for you - you have to embrace the spirit in which his or her advice is intended. But that doesn’t mean you have to take it. You can and will succeed with a current goal as the person you already are. Don’t let anyone try to change you.
What would it take to put a smile on your face, Moonchild? If you’re thinking along the lines of a monetary windfall, or a shiny new car, or some other kind of material possession, then you are off-track. These are not the things that bring you true happiness. They may make life easier, but what you really need now is a gift that will fulfill your inner world and bring joy to your soul. And, as luck would have it, that’s exactly what the universe is about to bestow on you. Don’t underestimate the power of personal fulfillment.
I‘ve been obsessed with this illustration for some time now. I found the image on tumblr just browsing around a while back ago.
Anyone know who the ARTIST is?

Our little adventure this past saturday in chinatown. Chinese new years parade. What did you guys get into this weekend?
A chameleon is a reptile that can change colors quickly. Someone you are now dealing with may have chameleon-like qualities. This person seems to change with the weather - or, more specifically - with the situation. You may be starting to wonder whether you can trust this person, because he or she seems to have something to hide. But don’t become overly analytical about it. Many people think that the chameleon changes color to blend in with the environment, but scientists disagree. They’ve proven that light, temperature, and mood are the cause. The person you’re dealing with isn’t dishonest - just very emotional and sensitive. Don’t be suspicious.

Ez and his Papa
The Black Cloud gathers smothers my Brain
As I cry another tear in this struggle of Pain
Another hurdle to clear is it all the same
Is the conquest of pain my only Aim?
The Pain has got to Stop, it's eating into me,
My apathy upholds this misery,
this hatred for myself will Destroy me
If i don't to give it the love it needs
Have you ever realised you must love Yourself
if you don't than can you love anybody else?
Nobody can reach you through your personal hell
You'll just eat yourself away in your tourtured shell.
