[Well, probably not,
but I'm just struggling with this at the moment.
Bear with me. It seemed easier in concept,
but reality has sunken in.]
Drumroll please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About fate...
People respond to positive things in their lives differently.
For example, upon seeing a beautiful sunset...
Some people might be extremely appreciative. "What did I do to deserve such a wonderful sight?"
Others might just simply enjoy it. "This is so gorgeous!"
I'm different. I'm more likely to think, "It's fate that I'm here to see this. I was meant to be here if only just to see this sunset, right now."
See, I tend to cite fate as a cause for lots of things that happen, just in general. To me, fate is some abstract notion that no one can control, but everyone is under the influence of. That's what I believe in.

I didn't know...
"When you cry, it makes your mouth wetter."
.........
"You know what this song reminds me of?"
"What?"
"Those times after school, and when we used to go to circle park."
.........
I wasn't (we weren't) expecting that.
I'm going to miss you.

Two Skies
It's weird to ride in an airplane flying over the ocean. It's surreal because everything outside the window is blue or white.
Various shades of blues, different hues and tones of white. And I just thought looking out on that view that there are, or there were, two skies.
Maybe just for that moment, but they were there.
Ugh.
All I wanted was just to go backpacking,
Those boys just wanted to be sure they were packing,
Something they were sure they'd miss,
Enough for a couple, a few, several hits
To get them high, so baked and stoned,
With their false friendship and some happiness loaned.
I'll admit, that I was shocked.
When I found out, my jaw was locked.
I saw their stash, they showed it to me,
The fragrant herb stored quite carefully-
A small plastic bag that consumed their thoughts
What a pity; but I've learned what I was taught.
I said I didn't care, but inside,
I felt anxious that I was along for the ride.
The rest of us, we saw what it did.
We witnessed the aftereffects after they hid.
They didn't pressure me; they only had a small amount,
But all they cared about after was avoiding cottonmouth.
They called it a universal language, something to make them friends,
But they missed the best part of the trail in the end.
Scattered Showers
I went through a period of scattered showers recently this summer, where every shower I took was in a different location than the previous one...kind of weird to think about, i suppose.
