To the years of something that has long since been forgotten.

Poetry: The Years of Inevitability

My years,

There was a time when Mother nature was the only one who made us realize what it meant to be something natural and inevitable.

Loving in a way where you were the moon that pulled me in, for there was no tide of mine that you could not control.

Loving in a way where my forests were never damp because you were there raining down upon me keeping me alive and green.

Loving in a way where the air that you pushed over my surface caused my survival, for it was something you did not even need to strive for but instead did freely and unaware of.

You were natural and did not need to try for your forces were the key to the doors of the seasons that the Mother had changing on an axis of persuasion and devotion.

You did her bidding as a content mastermind and I was the outcome of all of your work.

You painted me on a canvas with blue and green pastels and open-mindedly cascaded me across the oceans of blank space.

And every storm that you raged against dragged me with you.

It was inevitable to make my trees fall and my tides rage for you made me spin on your axis of persuasion.

If I lost a tree or control of my tides it would not compare to how much my environment would fail without you there to keep my habitat in motion.

Until the moment of evolution came where I bid farewell to your control and realized there was a desert of emotion calling my name.

In that desert were creatures that thrived in that environment of the hot waves of freedom.

Which is where you find me today, free from the control of your movement and presence.

But believe me when I say I still look to the moon and think of the pull you once had over my oceans,

And I think of the rain you gave me to keep me thriving,

And the air that you gave me to keep my canvas bright.

For in this desert I came in hopes that you would evolve into your own state of concsienceness.

And in this desert I remain until you come to draw in the sands of time that make you reflect on someting you used to believe in.

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.
