Some adults hold the opinion that kids these days can’t stick to one thing. From an outwards perspective I agree, in my own experience I have moved around a lot. This may portray me to be flaky and inconsistent. Although from my perspective I see each opportunity and change in placement as a learning curve. I feel like I have learnt more in my transitioning and flexibility, than I would have learnt if I had stayed at my first job and original program. I mean I get it, commitment is respectable, but isn’t taking charge of your own life also respectable?

He told me he was depressed and that sometimes he doesn't know what he is living for. I wish I could fix things. I wish I could make it better. I feel insufficient and that makes me sad.
I know you miss home. I know being in a different country without your family is hard. I know that you feel lonely sometimes. I know that you worry about money. I know that you worry this is all for none. I know that your stuck.
I wish I could make it better. I don't know how.
I'm sorry I put the weight of my troubles on top of yours.
I love you.

You "don't want to hurt her" by telling her you don't like her. You continue to talk to her. Flirt with her anyways. Nothing serious. Bored. Selfish. Lonely
By doing this she falls for you. She falls for your words. She believes in your falseness.
You stop talking to her. Cut off.
You hurt her
Hearts are not toys, Hearts are not always mendable, Hearts are fragile. Please treat them with RESPECT

I stood behind the cash waiting for the transaction to be finished and drank the last bit of my smoothie. After I was done I said "I wish there was more". The lady turned to me immediately and said "that's how life goes". There was a raw and pure honesty to our transaction. The human condition: We are always wanting more.

Time is escaping
As it is but shaping
The more we chase after it the further I suspect
We soon realize, in chasing what we despise, we merely double the effect
Of its running away,
Rather than seizing the day,
By losing the precious amount of time
That we oh so carefully left behind

I love you
even if
those eyes no longer recognize me
even if
my name doesn't bring tidal waves in your chest anymore

Time is truly an illusion.
these minute, these hours
don’t actually matter
if we choose to ignore them.
When you first kissed me
time didn’t stop
it just swirled and twisted
morning went back to sleep
the Earth’s rotation faltered
and the glass face of a pocket watch
shattered
we laughed at the world
and their silly clocks
we screamed we are tenseless
from the all the mountain tops we climbed
as we burned every last american spirit
and listened to the absence of time
I whispered
Baby we are the now and the now is what all we need
we didn't care about our future or our past
they were occurring all at the same time
we lived in the waist of an hourglass
when we laid in bed
I forgot that time ever moved linearly.
I forgot that outside of our little world,
clocks were ticking,
days were passing,
and snow was melting.
we were encased in a moment
we lived in every lapse of time.
where clock hands stay fast to their post
I didn’t expect things to last forever
because forever is a unit of time
but i've seen the sun set and rise 62 times
since i saw you
with your watch wound
and ready to go forward

She was your first love and you are mine.
The trouble is I think we are both still infatuated with that love

Simply
a
tiny
insignificant
vapid
speck
in
a
world
full
of
stars
of course I don't matter to you

You and I in this moment, captured my emotions
I replay it, and replay it over in my mind like a continuous favourite song
But like that song we replay and replay sooner or later we all grow tired of it
Tired of being in love with the past and what stops us from finding that new favourite song
