Putting all the vegetables away
That you bought at the grocery store today
And it goes fast, you think of the past
Suddenly everything has changed.
Driving home, the sky accelerates.
And the clouds all form a geometric shape.
And it goes fast, you think of the past.
Suddenly everything has changed.
Putting all the clothes you washed away.
As you're folding up the shirts, you hesitate.
Then it goes fast, you think of the past.
Suddenly everything has changed.
wow. who would ever thought itd be this way? so comfortable and so alive for the first time. ive never ever ever felt this way. ever. everything was just practise before this, i promise. i know i sound like a hypocrite and a liar, but honestly, how was i supposed to know? everything has changed so much, and i look at it all now, and im seeing for the first time in my life that this is real. there is no such thing as going back now. im a little scared. because ive been hurt so bad, ive gone through a lot. but if i were to step back and truely look at the past, i can honestly say that it was what had to be in order for me to be on top of everything at this moment, this is where i want to be. and it took minimal damage for me to get here, and im so proud of it, even if i do regret the past. im sorry it took so many stupid mistakes to show me this. i knew i was making those mistakes too. im not proud of those mistakes, but i am proud of where it took me.
everything has changed. its all gone by so fast. life goes by too fast. you have to sit back sometimes and take the hit. and savor it in the moment, dont let it take you away though. thats what ive learned. when things go bad, just know that it will get so much better. and because of that, savor the bad times, and then leave it alone. but take it with you so you never forget where youve been and what it took to get there. there is so much to look forward to. so much. and although i feel bad for what i regret, you cant look back forever. and im thankful for what i have right now.
i have so many plans. and im scared because im so ambitious. im on the path to want i want. this is it, this is real. i will be moving out very soon. and everything will change even more. im a little scared. ive never done this before, ive never done anything right, what do i do? thats what runs through my head so often these days. i have so much on my mind. i mean, are we too serious? are we being blind and in love? i dont thing so. everything is going so fast and so right, it cant be wrong. but it isnt going fast, or id know by now. we are on top of the world in this moment, and i never want to come down.
im a bit wary of making so many changes. what will it be like when he never has to leave? what will it be like washing dishes and then watching movies on the couch? or grocery shopping? or furniture shopping? not very different from now, we do all of that already. nothing will change, we will stay the same. and im so thankful.
im pretty much done with school, ill have a house, ill have things to take care of, and hopefully a job. how much better can it get? this is all ive ever wanted and i cant even think straight, because its all about to happen. and with anyone else, id be scared. im just comfortable to let things go however they will. im not rushing things, even though this all seems to be jumping the gun a bit. this is where its all taking us.
if anyone has imput on any of this, let me know. im grateful for everyone who reads this, friends or enemies.
