Poetry On Odyssey: Lost In The Colors

"He had beautiful eyes, the kind you get lost in. And I guess I did."

Blue-green eyes that shimmer in the sunlight,

Catch me off guard staring at the colors,

Lost in them for a moment,

Drifting in their current,

Brought back to reality when you call my name,

So sweet it rings off your cherry lips.

Chasing the sunset through the open fields,

Your smile so enticing and bright,

Tackling me in the flowers,

I melt in your arms as the day meets the night,

Laying still in the warmth of your body next to mine,

I look up at you to find something new,

I get lost in those eyes again,

As the moonlight dances in them,

Revealing stories untold.

You look right back at me,

And wonder what I might be thinking.

You pull me closer and stare right back into my eyes,

Lost in the emerald waves of green and touches of gold lit by the moon,

Looking into them as if you could see all my past lives.

The answers you sought become clear,

You nuzzled my face and told me what you saw in my eyes,

How every word painted itself in them,

It would have been overwhelming for any ordinary fool to take,

But you stayed and asked more questions,

It is a love one cannot fake.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
