to this day i've never found someone with eyes as wide

sometimes i THINK that i'm not. not what?...just not. i've taken too long, spent too much, felt too deeply.
and sometimes, i feel like i am. i learn enough, i have enough, i enjoy enough, i reflect enough.
and God knows that i love enough.

we can sit and worry (in the same way that i'm sure i will continue to), but once in a while, it would be fine to just take a break and realize that you do have it under control. so what? sometimes we stay in school for longer than four years. some people stay at the same job for 20, knowing they could have moved up long ago. the life we live is created from the choices we have made from the situations we've been dealt. the first step to breathing is being able to admit you are content in a way that fits your mold, and not somebody else's.

if this is where you're comfortable, sit still. learn it; let it sink through to your bones.

we recognize our own growth, and nine times out of ten, if we sit still for too long feeling uninspired, we get up to shake it off. within us is a switch that will nag at us, reminding us of our potential and that switch remains flipped up until we satisfy our own need to progress.

listen. carry your heart around in your mind's eye. keep it open. the people you meet all have a story to tell. some may tell you in an obvious way, as they fulfill their dream to save those around them. some tell you in pieces; through random thoughts and songs that tie to their heartstrings. some will remain close-lipped and difficult. ask.


i'm curious, i'm letting it happen, i'm making it happen.
