This wanting that I feel inside my soul
Distracts me as I try to go to sleep
It takes over, and makes me feel not whole
And wakes me up with many thoughts too deep
It tells me I am not living my life
And only doing work now to survive
I have nothing in the present but strife
And in the future, cannot hope to thrive
This feeling chokes away my true desire
And fills me with despair in my own mind
What happened to the passion and the fire?
Why do I feel as though I am now blind?
I struggle now to feel whole and fulfilled
To build the life I truly want to build

Sunscreen (My Version)
Ladies and gentlemen of the class of [current year]. Wear sunscreen…. If I could offer you one tip for the future sunscreen would be it.

A Failed Artist, A Disillusioned Poet, An Underpaid Game Show Host
I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
