fatalist

there's value in seeing things for what they really are. its liberating, its relieving. i wish we could see everything that way. don't be deceived by potential. its an illusion. its a mind trick we play with ourselves.

remember when we were kids, when we'd spend the majority of our lives playing? why do we as adults mostly spend our time talking? sometimes i wonder what we're talking about.

i love when something awesome happens unexpectedly. it gives me hope that something great can happen at any point.

i want grand adventures and quiet oasis's. i want long night sleeps and long phone calls. i want to be warm and cozy, hot and sticky. i want to be daring and bold. to have kindred spirts and zero arch-enemies. i want to learn from my mistakes and avoid future ones. i want to expand and unload. i want to leave a trail of butterflies and pixie dust. i want to wear a cape. i look forward to growing into old friends with all of you.

i'm trying to listen to the leaves speak.
trying to steal secrets from fishes in the creek.
