What's Up?
Twenty-five years I’m alive here still Trying to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination I realized quickly when I knew I should That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man For whatever that means And so I cry sometimes When I’m lying in bed Just to get it all out What’s in my head And I, I am feeling a little peculiar.

Leavin' on a Jet Plane...
I embark on a totally new phase in my life tomorrow. Tbh, I’m a little gun shy, but I do think it will give me the time, space, and experience I need to undergo a new phase in my life. As for here, I’ll be in-and-out.

The world reflects what you need to see, not only what you want to see. You have to know both sides of the world to know what it is that you want.
