The following is an unedited, stream-of-consciousness personal journal used to experiment with different subjects outside of assignments and to practice free-writing. It shouldn't (at all) be viewed as a portfolio of polished work.

Spoken Words



You know this is wrong
You know what is right
Knees don't buckle
No heart on the sleeve

Don't wince at the pain
Don't gasp in dark waters
Don't cry out when they rise
Show you're strong

You don't need anyone
If you're independent
If you're independent
You can save you

Force a brave face
Sink the thought of your heart
Eyes straight up
Breathe into the deep

Don't unclench your fists
Don't check over your shoulder
Lift, step, repeat
One step forward

This is for you.

Watch it. You will be glad you did.



Thanks, Ryan Kendrick, for sharing the inspiration.

In honor of the author of my blog's title:


Stuff your eyes with wonder,

live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds.

See the world.

It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

Ray Bradbury
