I LIVE: life because there is nothing else better to do anyway.
I WORK: for the equality of humankind, the most ethical corporation I can find, for financial freedom and to serve my fellow humans.
I TALK: too fast and too soft, mostly in song lyrics and say the things that I wish the world will become.
I WISH: for true happiness for all, for people to get to know me before judging me, for a gazillion dollars so I can travel the world.
I ENJOY: photography, the ocean, spending time with my love, talking to my best friends, playing scrabble and Age of Empires, cooking and sleeping.
I LOOK: left to right, up and down, then turn around because you never know when lost becomes found. (Ten points if you know where that comes from).
I WILL: get married and have children, write a book, swim with dolphins, graduate college and witness the monarch buterfly migration.
I SMELL: like coffee, bubble bath, grapefruit or lavendar.
I LISTEN: to people butchering the names of espresso drinks all day, to philosophy and positivity and to music that gives words to my soul.
I WALK: on flat feet in flip flops, slippers or chucks, with my head up high, smile on my face because I am no longer surviving - just living.
I WRITE: to organize the chaos in my head, to celebrate or mourn life when nobody is around to listen.
I SEE: the potential in people, from a 35mm viewfinder and the beauty in love and laughter.
I SING: too loud and off key in the shower, in the car, to relieve stress, wakeup, have fun and relax.
I LAUGH: easily and freely and often- sometimes by myself because people don't always get my jokes, when kids laugh and when people pick there noses in the car.
I WATCH: the world with careful eyes, deciphering and analyzing all that comes my way - searching for the truth within the truth.
I was stained, with a role, in a day not my own, but as you walked into my life, you showed what needed to be shown. I always knew what was right, I just didn't know that I might peel away and choose to see with such a different sight.
Never cared, never wanted, never sought to see what flaunted so on purpose, so in my face. Couldn't see beyond my own place. It was so easy not to behold what I could hold but you taught me I could change whatever came within these shallow days.
As the sun shines through, it pushes away and pushes ahead. It fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead and I didn't know that I could be but as illusion dies, I see there is so much to be revealed.
and I will never see the sky the same way,
and I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday
and I will never cease to fly if held down,
and I will always reach too high cause I've seen,
cause I've seen twilight
Just me...
I'm broke but I'm happy. I'm poor but I'm kind. I'm short but I'm healthy. I'm high but I'm grounded. I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed. I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby. What it all comes down to is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine... I've got one hand in my pocket and the other one is giving a high five. I feel drunk but I'm sober. I'm young and I'm underpaid. I'm tired but I'm working. I care but I'm restless. I'm here but I'm really gone. I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby. What it all comes down to is that everything's gonna be quite alright. I've got one hand in my pocket and the other one is flicking a cigarette. What it all comes down to is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet. I've got one hand in my pocket and the other one is giving the peace sign. I'm free but I'm focused. I'm green but I'm wise. I'm hard but I'm friendly baby. I'm sad but I'm laughing. I'm brave but I'm chicken shit. I'm sick but I'm pretty baby. What it all boils down to is that no one's really got it figured out just yet.
