Break It

Challenge the status quo. Be curious. Don't be afraid to break the mold and try something different. Did you know that you're in control? You can be THAT person that you want to be. What you did yesterday doesn't determine what you will do tomorrow. It's okay. Take that first step. Breathe...

Real Talk

Sometimes a chair is just a chair. Don't question it. It doesn't have to explain anything. No variables to consider. It is what it is. Leave it alone... I breathe.

Funny Thing

As an adult you juggle too much: mentally and physically. The last thing you should worry about is your representation; how the world sees you and how you choose to live your life. Funny thing is, that's how you begin to lose yourself. You turn into a slob. No matter what you do, you've got to make time to work on yourself; cleaning your place, organizing your documents, washing your car, and going for a run will help your brain relax. Turn off your phone, blast your music, hide your computer. Funny thing is, everytime I take out the trash, I have a moment of panic when I drop it down the bin. I feel as if Ive thrown away something I wasn't supposed to. I feel myself. Everything tangible, I deem to be necessary, is still at my grasp. I walk back to my "sancuarty"... and breathe.

The Compass

Rummaging through, I find a compass
It points north
I look ahead and see my brother
Same blood, strong and protective 
I look left, it points east 
I look up and see my sisters
Beauty, sincerity, and purity 
I turn back, it points west
I see mom and dad
Foundation and unconditional love 
I slowly turn left, it points south
My friends, my support
A tear crawls south 
No matter the direction, I feel safe 
I breathe...

Elastic

When I finally grab the rubber band, I want to see how far it could stretch. I don't want to break it, so I'm very cautious. I'm curious. I stretch it between my index finger and thumb and slap it against my wrists. Ouch. I kinda like it. Harder. I'm getting chills. Harder. The adrenaline on full throttle makes me lose my sense of touch. I stop. Where is the pain? I smell pink. Bumps. I hear bumps. I kinda like it. I roll the rubber band onto my wrist. A sudden gasp of breath sneaks in. I breathe....

Why Not?

Why not? This is going to be where I post thoughts, ideas, concerns, stories and just complete nonsense; through words, pictures, etc., you might or might not understand exactly what I'm trying to say and that's okay. My mission is to cause a shift in people's emotions. Why not? Lets go :D

It's the light in the morning that makes it a good day. Wrong. It's the darkness at night that makes it a gooooood night. Wrong. 1+1= 11. Right. Why do you have to listen to him? It's whatever you make of it. Right is only right when you know deep inside it is. Stick to it. Be your own person; Be your own sound. Breathe...
