water is supposed to be clear.
love is supposed to find me.
although one may possess everything beautiful in life, everything perfect in love, i may not be required to love them.
a pen does the heart's work too many times.
a heart should do the heart's work.
a conversation is worthwhile only when both parties believe the other is learning from their anecdotes.
family is supposed to be accepted, regardess of friendship.
i tread on sidewalks that i am forbidden to walk upon.
i believe in children more than love itself. and i believe in love. more than anything.
each day is a lesson learned from the previous days' lessons taught. respect that, it's told me.
fresh air is not a right. it's a priveledge.
tolerance of those who frustrate is necessary. those who frustrate are not worth a broken hand and a hole in the wall.
granola is good shit. with blueberries.
blueberries are fucking good in oregon.
i can learn from those younger than me. i can love those younger than me. i shouldn't judge them.
so much is to be done. but i am right where i need to be, so that one day...i can do what is to be done. i can fulfill my dreams. i can love with open arms and no regrets, and i can teach the world what i have set out but have yet to learn.
