I'm Alive, I Believe in Everything

"I'm Alive, I Believe in Everything"

God. Music. World Peace. Cats.
Hugs. Chilis Dates. Shoes. Morgan and Kyle.
Education. Cheese curds. Ice Cream.
Stars covering the night sky.
Chivalry. Fate. Love at first sight.
Individuality. Respect. Trust.
Swinging with your eyes closed.
The first snowfall of the season.
Binge watching shows on Netflix.
The perfect Snapchat filter and selfie pose.
The more I learn, the less I know
and if you don't try you'll never know.

I'm alive, I believe in everything
I'm alive, I believe in it all.

Late night drives in the car.
Dance around or cry it out.
Life is beautiful but people always leave.
Laughter is the best medicine
and a little chocolate never hurts.
Seeing my college and knowing I belong.
Miracles and chances.
Curiosity and Courageousness. 
Making wishes and keeping secrets.
Kindness and Passion.
Self-love and self-respect.
Everything a person does 
has the potential to be brilliant.

I'm alive, I believe in everything
I'm alive, I believe in it all.

It's trying to handle it with grace and dignity but at the same time, you're in tears wondering when things changed, and where you went wrong. Anxiety tells you, "no, it's not that they were the wrong person, it's that you're flawed and not good enough." And you look at yourself, fixating on things you wish you could change because that's probably why it...

An Open Letter To My Mentor

Dear Dennis, You.  You are the reason I'm still standing tall and making it through high school. Without you, I wouldn't be on the path I am on right now. You embraced me and took me under your wing freshman year, and our relationship quickly grew from there. Whether it was seeking answers to my multitude of questions in any of my English classes over the years, to seeking advice when it came to everything else, you never backed down and always managed to see me through to the other side.  Your room became a safe haven for me. A place where I could go and complain about my school work until I sucked it up and got it done. A place where we both exchanged many laughs and tears. A place where sometimes the only thing filling the air was silence.  You're so taken for granted by everyone. The way you intertwine your passion for literature and love of teaching is something amazing, and something I hope to have one day. You put your all into what you do fo...
