Remember when...


Lollipops turn into cigarettes.
The innocent ones turn into sluts.
Homework goes in the trash.
Mobile phones are being used in class.
Detention becomes suspension.
Soda becomes vodka, bikes become cars.
Kisses turn into sex.
Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground?
When protection meant wearing a helmet?
When the worst things you could get from boys were cooties?
Dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth and mom was your hero?
Your worst enemies were your siblings.
Race issues were about who ran the fastest.
War was only a card game, and the only drug you knew was cough medicine.
When wearing a skirt didn't make you a slut.
The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow?

Remember when...we couldn't wait to grow up?

Knee deep


I didn't love the person that saw me when I was invisible...
I loved the boy who made me feel invisible.
Now everyone can see me,
and you're the only one I want to show.
You wrote me beautiful poems,
he made me decipher riddles.
You wiped away my tears knowing it was he who made me cry.
You don't see me anymore, yet I am not invisible.

Two Faced.

When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin.

It works not because it settles the
question for you,

but because in that brief moment that the coin is in the air....

you suddenly know what you are hoping for.

About being Lost.


It's easy to get lost. We can be mentally lost, globally lost, lost socially, lost in our work, lost in our lives, and lost in love. We lose our heads, lose our minds, lose patience, lose our innocence, lose our marbles, even lose our hearts and souls.


But what is found?


What are the answers that we all look for in our lives?

Set priorities in your life. Avoid negative people. Always make copies of important papers. ASK FOR HELP WITH JOBS YOU DISLIKE. Break large tasks into bite-sized portions. Look at problems as challenges. Smile more. Be prepared for rain. SCHEDULE A PLAY TIME INTO EVERYDAY. Avoid tight fitting clothes. Take a bubble bath. BELIEVE IN YOU. Visualize yourself winning. Develop a sense of humor. Stop thinking tomorrow will be a better today. Have goals for yourself. SAY HELLO TO A STRANGER. Look up at the stars. PRACTICE BREATHING SLOWLY. DO BRAND NEW THINGS. Stop a bad habit. TAKE STOCK OF YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS. Do it today. Strive for excellence, NOT perfection. LOOK AT A WORK OF ART. Maintain your weight. Plant a tree. Stand up and stretch. Always have a plan B. Learn a new doodle. Learn to meet your own needs. BECOME A BETTER LISTENER. Know your limitations and let others know them too. THROW A PAPER AIRPLANE. Exercise everyday. Get to work early. CLEAN OUT ONE CLOSET. Take a different route to work. LEAVE WORK EARLY (WITH PERMISSION). Remember you always have options. Quit trying to "fix" other people. GET ENOUGH SLEEP. Praise other people. RELAX, TAKE EACH DAY AT A TIME... YOU HAVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TO LIVE.
