Poetry On The Odyssey: To All The Boys Before You

Before is over, Before can not come back. Today in the present is where we pretend that "us" had never existed.

Poetry On The Odyssey: To All The Boys Before You

In This Article:

Every boy before you was dumb.

You took things into a perspective no one else saw. You saw things as they were and as they would be in the future. You would see a sprout of a weed and some how make it seem like one day it would grow into a beautiful flower.

Every boy before you watched it rain and thought about how gloomy everything was.

You would dance in the rain and drag me along. You would splash in the puddles and make them giant lakes.

Every Boy before you thought hunting was just hunting.

You saw it as more than sitting in the woods for hours on end. You saw it as a lifestyle. You would light up in a way I cant even explain.

Every boy before you made my heart beat normal.

You would smile, my heart would stop mid beat. You would laugh, my stomach would fill up with butterflies. You would make a cheesy joke, I would roll my eyes and think some how that was funny.

Every boy before you, wasn’t you.

You were something great. You were amazing really. You had your moments where I would think "Where's that guy I fell in love with?" You always made sure I was okay and taken care of. You were one of a kind honestly.

You hold a BIG part of my heart, a part no one else will ever hold. You and me both know that sometimes some of the best things have to be let go to be able to grow.

Every boy after you, will be great.

You though? You will always be wonderful. Thank you for being you.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
