Poetry On The Odyssey: The Love You Can't Always Put On Paper
Ryan Johnson

The love you can't always put on paper.

To my friends:

Time has evaded us and all seems antiquated

We've been through things you and I

We've lost mothers, fathers and grandparents too

Lovers have failed us time and time again, yet no condemnation between us

Loneliness has crept inside of us whispering that we don't know each other

Things have changed for the worst and for the better

We've planted

We've grown

We're growing

Stars weren't far enough so we shot past them

We found love and grounded it amongst ourselves

Those whom we love, love us back

Those whom love us, we love back

The world bigger than an oyster, limitless to the end of the galaxy

Though miles away in areas of sandy beaches to crisp northern air

I've never felt closer.

The love that makes you feel like Sundays

The late nights with laughter brewing in your belly

The connection that sparks in all the right ways bringing fire to our darker days

The emotions are limitless

So here's to the love that you can't always but on paper

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
