a new & glorious morn

And then I told her, "...you haven't lost your emotions, they've just simply changed."

Being out in the world is a mysterious yet humiliating experience.
Humiliating in the sense that it can bring out the modest of spirits.
Among some of us that is.

We're not in 1st grade anymore, where a dollar makes us rich and a paper cut leads to death.
We're also not in middle school, or junior high.
Why can't we make high school a thing of the past now as well?

If we hold on to anything from those 3-4 certain years of crowded hallways and ephemeral cliques - why can't it be something from one of those cheesy seminars that were held in the auditorium or school gym, where that one guy got up and talked about how he figured he's made it big because of 3 simple words; "NEVER GIVE UP."

making my point: the concepts of potential are not chained to the laws of science or of energy.
Those speakers, all they wanted to relay to us was the importance of never underestimating our inner potential -- of never demoralizing ourselves.

We are meant for bigger and better things.

If you can't agree with this statement, then you were the person in the fourth row who fell asleep 15 minutes into such sermons.

Did you know?
You were the one who needed to hear it most.

We all get curious, we all want to know what's just beyond our vision.
But it's not worth missing what's around you at this very moment!

And there is no shame in being cautious of sugar coated thoughts and ideals.
You were spoon fed since before could crawl.
You were spoon fed manners and sentences and you think you're really ready to walk on your own?

Think again.

We know nothing, yet we think we've got life sussed out to perfection.
Which is true to some degree I would suppose, but only to our own imperfections.

Yes, we're only human. AND YOU CAN ARGUE THAT FACT INTO THE GROUND FOR ALL I CARE.

But we aren't plants or rocks who don't have the luxury of making decisions for themselves,
to make life easier . . . to survive in general.

Can you not at least be thankful for that?

If you can, then there is still hope.



& if you hold on to anything I have said, please hold on to the underlined.


I will love you forever.


peace & ♥: KA
