And in that moment, we were infinite.
(Thanks-Giving); Verb- To Give thanks.
I have so many things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
And while it warms my heart to not have to think twice to know I’m surrounded by Family, Friends, Food, and Love.
I also feel a a dark shadow hanging over me.
I have all these wonderful things.
I’ve been born into something some people would kill for.
and Most days that doesn’t even cross my mind.
Children in Africa are starving as I type this.
Children in Korea, Thailand, China, and other countries as such, are on the streets. Cold, wet, homeless, and hungry.
There’s even adults and children here at home, in America,
who are dependent on a Shelter, or a soup kitchen to feed them on a holiday that is meant to reflect on how lucky we all are.
Some people have NOTHING.
Nothing to eat.
Nothing to drink.
Nothing to warm.
No one to hug.
No one to laugh with.
No one to look at and think to themselves, “I’m so lucky to have your company.”
As someone who’s grown up with so much,
I can’t help but feel horrible.
I want to give back.
I want to help.
(1 month ago)Memories.
As I look back at pictures of my peers from Sycamore high school.
As I look at pictures of people I hurt, and people who hurt me,
As I feel a sense of pain, and sorrow at the mere sight of them,
I realize.
They can’t hurt me anymore.
I can’t do any damage anymore.
Because I am home.
and I belong.

(3 months ago)The Family Albums
I just flipped through the family photo albums we have in the closet.
I don’t even know what to say.
and I realized why we don’t take pictures anymore.
Our whole family is depressed.
We all keep it tucked away.
But I’m sure, we all are.
There was no closure.
no goodbyes.
Just.
gone.
