you are differenT
 and you should be proud
 because you are the kind of person people write stories about 
your adventurous ways and that tantalizing gaze 
gives beauty and life to a world that knows not the worth of beauty and even less the worth of living
but it is because of your unique assurance that others will see your peace and follow to your world 
a world where even though its hard
 its also captivating
to be in such a place where life is more than simply
 waiting.

Greener grass

There is so much light in this life and with that comes darkness , but one without the other would give the former or later no more purpose. 
I'm feeling nostalgic and philosiferish... and though thats not a word it is a feeling. This life is full of heartbreak,s hopes, dreams, prayers. People who want you to fail, succeed, and others who you will never know. And though they may never know you, you are still connected, because we are human yes, but mostly because of our spirits. The portion of us that understands more perfectly than our minds and bodies ever will. What is it that they can't comprehend? That these these simple moments of pure bliss, heart break, joy, suffocation, peace, empathy, sympathy, loss of hope, and dreaming of greener grasses. That those even the smallest of moments in the smallest of persons still count. that they have purpose and not only this truth, but that those moments, moments even like this as you read my rough thoughts, through the screen that separates us and connects us, they give purpose to those broken hearted, those hopeful, prayerful, lost, or found. It is moments like this, they are moments we may not see but we can imagine the outcome of our lives as we retrace the colorful past. Moments like these show us that life is so much simpler and so much more complex than we could have ever before imagined, but we soon will realize that the simple and complex importance of this life we have seen somewhere else before and felt some where else before. It is the thing that makes life, life, and the thing that makes it possible for us to be more than just human and more than just spirit. It is the thing that bonds both parts of us into the soul. 
That thing I speak of is love.
