WHO INVENTED IMPOSSIBLE

//////////////

do you ever feel like you're reaching for the extreme beyond

that, silly you, that's too far from your grasp

but you dream on even when you're told not to

small hope seems to be crushed before it blooms into deep hope

you learn to do that from those who have lost it before

walk on. look up. keep going.

stop bursting bubbles that are meant to turn into bursting flames

kiddo. whatever is beyond isn't too far away

never stop reaching. never.

MY LOVELY LIST

I REALLY LIKE THE FACT THAT .....

there are rocks along the shore line of the ocean bc that's how we get the crashing waves

and that photos capture the seconds we blink through

that when rain falls is symbolic of so much more than droplets of H2O washing the earth

that people smile even if they are happy or sad. and cry for the same reason too 

also that the world isn't grey but filled with vibrant colors to soak in 

but most of all i love the fact that people are people all over the world. humanity isn't dead yet. i promise. 

TODAY IS ALL WE HAVE

I've realized something. We become too entitled. We become accustomed to the things that were handed to us by birth.

we get too comfortable with accepting who we are and forget that we can become even more.

I'm realizing that I forget that breathing is a gift - one I don't deserve.

I've noticed that no matter how hard I try I still slip back into that forgetting.

people who have had a life altering experience say
"I wasn't expecting it. It was a normal day. I didn't think it would happen to me."

bc don't you get it? We don't.

we become accustomed to our two hands, eyes, ears, heart beats, waking up to another day..sunrises and sunsets. We forget much too much.

then - there's the day when that changes. And suddenly, you're begging for yesterday. Who knows, maybe yesterday wasn't good for you and today is bc today is what we have.

entitlement doesn't mean a thing. Today does.

[be honest in your thoughts here. I'm not 100% of what I think of this..]

HEARTBEATS FILL THE EARTH

what if we could hear all the heartbeats at once of the entire world MAGNIFIED 

would we find that our hearts are synced or completely unattached

i'm certain it would be deafening. the ground would shake. we wouldn't know what hit us.

perhaps we would listen for once

listen and realize that we are all the same no matter what we think or do,

the money thing, power and weakness, short vs tall, beauty against feeling beautiful

we would just hear the constant thump of life and then i think we might go crazy

bc let's face it. The world isn't ready for such a thing
