I Can't Imagine Life Without It

So I'm in love! And it's great because it's with a city I seem to never be able to get enough of even though I've been in and out of it my whole life. So great! I feel like I fit in better in the city than I do in the downer of a grove that is my town. I'm seriously sooo glad I'm here right now. can't imagine what I would have done all the way in Indiana! (seriously, don't know what I was thinking...) I'm off to explore for a while but I'm weirdly excited for classes on Monday so yeah!

Peace!

A Friend Passing Through

A perfect snowflake is always unique.
By nature and design, it is never unoriginal and demands utmost attention,
Without ever depositing a new supply.
But then, without so much as the blink of an eye,
An ice burg begins to explore new territory.
It hopes to perform like the life above
In it's new and peculiar space. (For an ice burg, that is.)
It tries to explain it's obscure place in the heart of the Chicago River,
But not without a dash of sarcasm to match the situation.
As science would see the quite creepy "talking" ice burg,
They truly discover it's abundance of innocence
Without organizing or explaining itself at all.

I Don't Understand...

I thought I did. But I guess not. You make no sense. And it's a lot of the time too. Not just some. Please be a little more clear with your feelings. Thanks.

We Are One And All, Except Now You See Us Fall
We are the bird

And the worm.

We are the cancer

And the cure.

We are the virus

And the vaccination.

We are anything

And everything,

Because that

Is what people tell us to do.

We are a society of sponges.

Absorbing and reacting

To everything we hear

Because what else is there to do
         Once everything's been done before?

Just Breathe
I always have this unrelenting urge to write
Always have, and possibly always will
But that doesn't mean I always have words
I don't always have what I want to say in a way I want to say it
It's never just that easy

Just breathe
And maybe it will get easy

I have words
But I have no story
I have memories
But no recollection of them really
I have dreams
But no aspirations to follow

Just breathe
And maybe it will get easy

I used to believe in God
Until I realized I believed
Simply to please others
I wasn't believing
To benefit myself at all

Just breathe
And maybe it will get easy

When everything you are
Is lost,
Do you really know who you are?
Or have you forgot?

Breathing doesn't make it easy,
But it helps you crawl along your path.
Even if it isn't yet what you want to be,
You're still on that path to somewhere.

Just breathe
And the rest will come easier.

Always,

As if you've been on layaway, I think I've finally got you. (Or enough of you to survive...i think.)

"If at first you don't succeed, then try, try again indeed."
I guess if there was one thing I honestly regret, it's not being able to control my feelings like I'd like to. I can be myself when there are other people around,but you - you're something differently entirely. And I can't quite put my finger on it just yet. Like playing music with such passion, you escape through my finger tips time and time again. That's the best way to explain it. Once it's happened, it's gone in a instant and something new is in it's place. Or rather someone. I don't know what makes me think it's you, but something does. Friendship? Time? Easy conversation? Laughs? It's all you. It always has been. And it's just taken me until now to notice. Now, when we haven't HONESTLY spoken since middle school. Now, when you're there for me when I need regardless of if we've changed at all. Thank you for that. I don't know what one you are, but thank you anyways!

Always♫

Effort Is All I'm Asking For

It's really a shame to see people becoming worker monkey's for a test they will only ever take once (hopefully). Why couldn't you work that hard ALL the time? It really doesn't take that much effort. Finals can cause crazy amounts of stress, but what about on the spot tests in real life? Like driving a car, or paying taxes? It all makes sense in the end. I have one class I've taken this year that I never once questioned where i was using the information in life. Last year it was my "PE" classes (driving, and heatlh/cpr). Freshman year, I didn't think there was anything but then I remembered music and it all came back to me. We use everything we ever learned EVERYDAY. Whether you know it or not. That's another story.
