"Two roads to walk down..."

How awkward is it to stand in a room with a past even staring straight at you for for hours? Well a tad bit uncomfortable. How odd it is to hear a laugh that you haven't heard in over a year. All I got was happy memories. I was still too afraid to go over and say hello. I didn't say that the end wasn't bad. It was. But even though I wasn't even looking at him, I heard him laugh and I knew it was him. It is amazing that something that small can recall so much. A year ago we weren't equals. Now, I'm 21, and a BFA. So what makes the difference now? I guess I'll never know. He still creates beautiful work. Absolutely amazing, heart stopping work. It is so interesting to see a man that is so reserved and so dark on the outside, produce such light, colorful, and awe inspiring pieces. I guess that is what draws me in. What I miss. I didn't ache when I saw him. I just remembered. Maybe that is how it is suppossed to be. My heart did jump a bit when I saw him. That was an unexpected reaction. It felt oddly good that I could still have that reaction to someone.

There are things in this world that do not belong to us. They might never have, even if there was a chance, earlier in history. It may feel good to be in the presence of that object, but there is still a space between that cannot be crossed. Some may try to, but that only ruins it. Enjoy the view, but nothing further. It just shouldn't be done.

Other Ideas of Wisdom:

Do not overstay your welcome. It only makes it more difficult.

Learn to see the outcome before you react. It will save you much heartache and problems.

The outcome cannot always been seen. Go ahead. The worse that can happen is that you learn.

Doing your best is not always enough for others. Do your best for yourself and move on.

Work your hardest. Go out of your way. Do the extra work. Put in the extra effort. You may not be repaid for your time, but the journey will be more than worth it.

Chocolate doesn't solve everything. Music solves more than you think.

Expressing yourself is necessary. Who you express yourself in a choice.

Take time out for yourself. No one else will take time for you.
