to strive to constantly improve myself.
to experience, learn, see the world.
to plan for the worst, hope for the best, and be contented with what i have.
to be more giving, and more forgiving.
to believe and to trust in myself.
to care about the things that matter, and to let go of the ones that dont.
to take good care of my body, health and mind.
to not forget about the people, past etc that have helped me get to where i am today. ie to be grateful and appreciative.

sometimes i prefer being in my own world
than articulating my thoughts
and dissecting them into bite sized,
human pieces.
the same self depreciating humor
that smoothes over the rough edges of the day
syrup, high fructose, and processed.
skipping to class
in eager anticipation of carefree days
someone having your back with no real reason
two individuals, going out on a ledge
separate spheres that decided to reach out
in our board shorts,
utterly inappropriate
lost in the acrylics of starry night
the days when
it doesnt even cross your mind
that you'd ever be apart.
trading apples, and madelines.
green for red.
thousand layer cakes
peeling layers, and perhaps a part of ourselves
trading secrets, dreams and aspirations
and later, fears and doubts.
now the only things we trade are pleasantries
niceties, a picture perfect guide
there's nothing that can't be reinforced,
anger, pent up, disgust, frustration
we were schooled.
swallow your colors.
pastel, mint and tea.
disdain, cuts deeper
swallow, half formed words,sentences
and swallow yourself.
