To The Soul-searcher And The Wanderers

Wanting everything but waiting for absolutely nothing

To the soul-searchers and the wanderers,

How does one change if they never drop the remains of who they once were? Yet, how does one change if they do drop the remains of who they once were? A set of paradoxical questions I often ask myself. Who am I? I have no answer, I have no idea who I am. I like to figure that I am what I believe to be true.

I believe in love. Not the lustful type filled with evil intentions. The pure kind, filled with donut cream and courage. I believe in the power of spiritual faith, but I also believe in fallen angels. I believe in self-empowerment, in freedom so large it leaves you trembling. I believe in magic. The kind that brings people back to life, grants wishes and makes unicorns appear without their horns. I believe in what Esther said about dying when one must die. I believe that God is good. That he loves us, and that is why he allows us to choose if we want to love him in return. I believe that candy really did taste better when you were still a child; that humanity’s destiny is held in the stars. I believe that life is a game, a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you are still breathing, so you might as well sit back and enjoy it. I believe in the healing power of music, that the sadness you experience watching movies is real, and I believe in the words I bleed onto blue lined paper. I believe that these things recreate me, molding my chameleon soul over and over. I am the moon, kissing the night sky. Wanting everything but waiting for absolutely nothing.

How will you know which parts of yourself have been dropped and which parts were left? How will you know when your colors are finally broken? Scattered across the grave of your fantasies.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
