A Poem: Lost And Found In A Wildflower Field

Life itself feels right, but not, all at once but my heart will not stop until I am found.

My heart begs to dance in a field of wildflowers

as wide as my mind can imagine it to be;

so open for my soul to dance freely and

discover the reason humanity breathes

and craves the ability to get lost

Yet, when we do, we often end up

worse than we started, bended and broken hearted


With our minds expanded, knowledge enhanced,

those lost trudge on until their final destination,

Guided blindly by fate; where they end up

may be lead by the heart’s desire

or by assumption

It is all left unknown to our minds,

high on pondering, until destiny collides,

pushing the start button on gravity

and bringing us to our knees, crashing

into the cement below our cloud kingdom,

slicing our skin open and releasing the butterflies

held captive, long awaiting freedom


I question if where I am is where I am meant to be,

a mundane thought to succumb to

Life itself feels right, but not, all at once

but my heart will not stop until I am found

in the bend of a curving highway paved in a mountain or

in the view from a building as tall as my desire to jump

in order to test my ability to spread my wings

against the breath of mother nature


Freedom is our ability to leave

and rediscover our own purposeful meaning

of existence in a world of reoccurring

nightmares and dreams

It is in these foggy memories that

we are found wandering in

a field of wildflowers,

living and breathing

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
