Long Live Laughter


When facing the touch of forever you must understand that even you, in your simplicity, will out live both Time and Death. Which is precisely why it is your job to take each moment to every possible extreme in order to devour every juicy drop of joyful bliss that this world has to offer.

The Great Changing of Leaves


And I would say:

As Autumn falls into the hands of Winter I can't help but notice that you and I are a lot better for each other than they gave us credit for.

Someone else would say:

As Spring falls into the hands of Summer and all her frozen schemes I can't help but notice that you   are even more delusional than ever:
this is precisely why I like you.

Reflective Conclusion


Delicate.

That's all faith is. You are going to be alright. For this too shall pass.

Finding Freedom


You don't need wings to fly. Di Vinci and Earhart taught you that. You never needed fins to swim; just look at Alaska's natives or the beaches of France. Words don't have to be in the dictionary to be understood. How else did Shakespeare and Dr. Sues do so well?

Up, Up, and Away


"I will travel and I will see the world, you can come with me if you want," she explained as she tapped the shoulder of the stranger beside her.

"I... I don't even know you," they stumbled.

She smiled, "That's the point. We can learn more about ourselves if we're discovering our surroundings and each other."

There was a silence as the person went back to reading their newspaper or magazine as though they had no idea that someone else was even there. After almost an hour and the flipping of many pages they looked up with a slight grunt of dissatisfaction they mused, "You're still here?"

She nodded, "My offer still stands," as she stood up and reached out to push the door to the next terminal open someone else became the door as they in their own world did the same. This new person fell over and pulled her down with them. Both blurted out their apologies and began to regain themselves.

"I meant to do that," he explained as he pulled her close again, "I heard that. I saw them turn down your offer. I'm on my way to terminal B, my ex decided not to show and you can have her ticket. I'd love to find myself and I know you don't have it all figured out; but you seem like you do and that's enough for me. The way you handled rejection, the sparkle in your eye when you felt your back pressed to my chest, it's all clear, you are here and you are doing exactly what I want to do and you know that almost everything's better when you've got someone with you. Well, look, just listen, when I was younger someone told me that it's almost always better to do what feels good than to do what might be logical. This feels good to me. Going somewhere new, sitting on a plane for sixteen hours, meeting you, getting lost together, and finding ourselves all over again is the most illogical, best feeling thoughtless plan I've ever had. Believe me, I know you don't know me and I'm sure you think I'm crazy, but please, my offer's open until the plane leaves."

Time went on, others got up and went through gates, they shuffled from place to place and conversation to conversation, passing through the open doorway with soft groans and underhanded slurs towards the people in each others arms on the floor in the middle of a busy airport - but otherwise Time went on with no notion of the world they were moments away from creating.

She grabbed his hand and helped him get back on his feet, "Sure!" she laughed as the stranger with the magazine or newspaper from earlier began to head their way and tilt is head in their direction as he passed.

"Good luck," they called back to the reckless kids. Laughing. Completely content in the pure bliss of their spontaneous new idea. And off they went, to see the world.

All the while, never knowing the other's name.

Manifestation of Sunshiney Days


Don't say that this is out of the blue if it's better than what you normally get.

Fire in the Streets


Insecurities hold you down and you discredit words too much for them to be any sort of rescue. I know because I've been there. It gets better with time, every tear to fall brings you just as close as laughing off the pain and I'll be here for you no matter what you choose.

Hippie-Mole People


I'd love to live simply with you, to put flowers in my hair and paint the day away. Love, don't you agree pure bliss would be walking all day on the beach, chatting with the waves and giggling with the wind. We'll sleep in the sun and dance by moonlight and you know as well as I do life like that would be perfect.

Watermarked Pages


It's the accidents and experiences that make life worth living.

Just a Few Extra Minutes


Someday you are going to ask yourself why you didn't spend more time focusing on the details and all the little things you can do any day but still don't. Those are the kind of things you'll regret more than anything and it's time you keep yourself from that kind of that kind of self destruction.
