Lovesick Rambling
a stream of consciousness poem
What if I told you how I feel?
That I know it's just me, I'm not your type, whatever or whoever that is, but that I needed you to know?
Don't say a thing
I don't need to hear it;
This might be stupid, but I'm not, and I'm stepping back for a while,
at least until I'm over it.
The secret of it all has been killing me, but I won't burden you with the task of rejection or the awkwardness.
I just had to get it out, this stupid crush I can't squash.
I hope we can still be friends when I come back around,
whenever that is, whenever I figure this out.

the magic of kindness
Homelessness is hard But one act of kindness can Thaw even concrete —————— The older I get, the more I become very well aware of the privilege that I grew up with. There is no greater privilege than to have a roof over your head and food on the table every night when you come home from school or work. It might seem as though it’s a given or something everyone has when you’re young and naive, sheltered from some of the more harsh realities. But the older I’ve become, the more I realize just how singularly lucky I am. I might not have the means to eradicate homelessness, but I certainly recognize how lucky I am to occasionally have “extra,” and I will do as much as I can for as long as I can to give to those who may be in need, as encouraged by my kind and ever generous parents.
