Differences between Outbreak, Epidemic, Pandemic and Endemic...

An epidemic is a disease that affects many people at the same time, such as the flu.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's official definition of epidemic is: 'The occurrence of more cases of disease than expected in a given area or among a specific group of people over a particular period of time'.
A pandemic is a very extensive epidemic, like a plague, that is prevalent in a country, continent, or the world.
There is also the word endemic, which is a disease native to a people or region, which is regularly or constantly found among a people or specific region.
The term outbreak describes the sudden rise in the incidence of a disease, especially a harmful one. An outbreak is characterized by a disease's bypassing of measures to control it.
Often, the difference between these terms is determined by the percentage of deaths caused by the disease.

How are you living?

I haven’t felt like this in awhile. Lost.

It seems everywhere I go everything around me falls apart.
I’m starting to question myself? If somehow or somewhat I have an effect in it all?

People play with each other’s feelings, dragging people that have nothing to do with anything into it… all for control? Power?
But what power really? What power do we have? And over what?
If by chance we’re here… what’s there to obtain but a life to be lived? If not by chance we have something that controls all of it, us being the puppets of some freak show!

The question remains, what power?

Goes from Religion to Work; covering Gov., relationships, et cetera et cetera…

Religion was created to control the mass.
If GOD is perfect and we’re his creation, we Ought to be perfect and we’re not.
If GOD is good why would he allow one of his own to rot in hell?
How old are stars? And in the bible how old do they say the Universe is? (not to mention that the Bible says Universe when the chance is that there’s INFINITE UniverseS!)

People are oblivious to the truth because they are afraid of running out of hope. But there’s so much to hope for than lies and make-beliefs.

If everyone was smart enough.. We’d be driving around in the universe right now, sleeping in Jupiter, running on the moon. But they tend to spend all the money in weapons to kill one another… humanity is INSANE!

We kill our own kind like irrational animals… It’s egregious.

Mainly people try do dry you out. Suck the energy out of you, your life! Sometimes for jealousy, sometimes for power others times for mere vengeance.
People can tell you and DO lots of things. People can take away your “freedom”, your liberty of speech but they cannot kill an idea.

And those, I will never run out of.


I am alive and I won’t die, ever. I am!

World, look out!

Just dream...

Beyond the realm of dreams
when bounds of logic stretch

Beyond conscious belief;
To a place not so far from known.

When even within dreams
The possibility of touch is far…
Far from the realm of reality,
What more is there but to dream?

Within the realm of dreams…
I wish I could hold you when I wake
The way that I hold you
In my dreams at night.

Within the realm of dreams…
I wish I could share
All the feelings that tear me up,
All I have to bare.

Beyond the realm of dreams,
Where distance in time and space
And obligation are impossible
To overcome…

I wish I could tell you,
So you’d understand
The loneliness locked deep within;
Maybe just hold your hand…

Within the realm of dreams…
What more then is there
But to dream,
The dream of sleeping;

As for the dreams of the awaken
Often don’t come true.
Unless the realm of the dream
Is as you’ve been dreaming it too.

Who then can predict,
prompt or dismiss a dream?
To awaken with a sad heart,
and a longing within your soul.

I wish there was somewhere
A place where loners could dare;
Like the realm of the dream…
Or the realm of the seem…

As for it seems sometimes it is
And seems are frequent untrue…
I ask this question everyday…
Really… Who are you?

Who can foretell or prompt
Or dismiss the slumbering thoughts
That come at night;
(Burst in like a storm)
That bring sighs of longing
Upon awakening,
Of the tears that form...

 ... beyond the realm of dreams.

Written by Juliana to me:

(wish I could keep certain moments forever... walk with me...)

"You know theres this angel right?
And this angel is ALWAYS there for me!
So one day I was crying...
and the angel comforted me, made
me smile and said: "when your sad, I'm sad;
when you do something stupid I'll be there to
make it look smart; And when you miss me don't cry
look down and a little too the left cus I'm never any
further then the corner of you heart.

and you know what's funny? That angel is you ♥
Tia.

No mtter what happens or no matter
what I do or who comes into my life,
You will always be the one I look to
because your the reason I smile... and when I talked

to you on the phone I held in my tears
because I cant stand to see you cry
and when people say your not coming here
I turn around close my eyes and say: "She's already here
...In the corner of my heart, shes my shadow watching over me and

that wind that makes a breeze and that sun that makes me worm
she everything to me", but
no one seem to understand but me
that theres always a missing piece to my life
and... other people try to fill it in but it doesn't fix as perfect as your piece..
♥ I LOVE YOU"

[Just this alone is worth living for.
I love my niece, she's my little girl and always will be.
Thank you for the kind words baby girl... you mean the world to me!]
