Poetry On Odyssey: With This

A message to a young me.

This is a poem written to Sophie of past. It doesn't disclose everything I would like to uncover; that'll take a few more pages. Here I detail the subtle shifts in experiences that are to come for yung $tunna Sophie. The promise of shifts is infinite upon aging and learning. For me, it took friendship, time, and curiosity to foster a lil baby flame amongst the utter darkness and ignorance I lived in. Although the ignorance is still present, it's somewhat acknowledged and much more endurable.

Light will pass through porous bone,

Forming gold threads from skull to sight.

With this, traces of lucidity will surface,

Hinting at a golden fleece defined by peace of mind.

Temporary moments of laxity, pure and unrestrained, will gently permeate your bones,

Heedlessly guiding your movements, disentangling your thoughts,

Soaking both and transforming them from steel to silk.

With this, you will breathe in beautifully fleeting euphoria,

And exhale an explicit intention.

One that will rip at the seams of your tightly sewn bond with past’s demons

And hurl you into the your present time and space.

Clothed in liquid fabric,

You will be able to dance upon existence,

To the silent melodies of the sublime.

Your stomach will lose the cramps

From being tightly bound by your own contortion.

With this, the craved porcelain, hour-glassed, fuck-doll nightmare

Remains the night’s past, instead of dawn’s wakeful keep.

The scraping at attention’s flesh is still habit,

But the wounds are starting to scab.

Instead of sweet, red syrup,

Insufficient funds will ooze.

With this, you’ll find a world within yourself;

The promise of endogeny made sweetness and flauntless intrigue.

New company will unknowingly teach freedom.

With this, take what is offered but do not wrench with greed.

For the nutrients are in the temporary play,

The steps and the words,

The touch and their way.

But beware, for the trigger is always cocked,

And the misfire usually lands on the lesson.

Mutilating its delicately spread lips,

And morphing it into a grisly, shadowed cunt of over-analysis.

The only advice I have thus far for this is to breathe; although thus far,

Seems worthless.

But speaking of lips,

Yours will find harmony.

With this, the iced heat within your fists will lay rest,

And the once brittle corpse will finally melt.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
