On The Things That Shouldn't Matter.

I live for sunny days, Cheeze-Its and good stories.

I'm sorry if within my dreams I don't see myself spinning in circles in the middle of a green pasture, wearing all white surrounded by sunflowers (They may have been like that at one point). I wish I could call myself Daisy and dance on grass that would never wither or would never get muddy. But sadly, Reality, she is not always one to hold our hand and make things better. She tends to be a malicious, conniving terror to one that believes in the brighter days.

Mirrors are just lies of truths that we don't know how to accept the verdict that we were given. We know how to make it end, or we don't know how to make it last. But, we tend to long for the moments that we don't even understand. Moments that dance to create the rythyms within the drums of our delicate minds.

Windows, shutters, doors, all they do is hold the dust of memories. We have stared through one, shut another, walked through another only to compare what is or belongs on the other side of that threshold. And then what now? Sing your songs and believe in the dripping of the liquid that quenches the desperate thirst for so many years. Get up out of the sand, you don't belong in these mounds of faltering and inconsistency.

Oh, how we make the dramatic too dramatic. Let's help out the layman and put it in his terms:


Take a breath. Eat some pizza. Learn to relax.


Nothing is as bad as it seems until you let your life come undone at the seams. There will always be something. There will always be the person you don't know how to forgive. The place you are too afraid to go. That one thing you can never say. But someday, you'll learn to love that person. You'll go to that place. And you'll say that something without realizing.

And the amazing moment that you'll have with your sweet little soul? You'll realize something marvelous. Something breathtakingly spectacular: you lived.

Yeah. That's right.  You lived.

And you just took another breath. 

Go sit in the sun, read a good book, and eat some Cheeze-Its.

Maybe I'll see you there.
