"As If We Have Time" Poetry Video

-


This video was created for my Creative Writing class, which works to send the message that the days we have, though often feeling long, are few and short in number. We need to work to live knowing we are dying, so that we may live our lives to the fullest. 

I encourage each of you to implement this idea to your daily routine.

I hope you enjoy

Peace With Our Pieces

-
Below is a letter to all of the new things in my life: friends, family, places, and things. However; I too address this to my old friends, family, and forever home. Finally, I put forth this compelation of thoughts for all those who need peace; your broken pieces will come together, given the proper glue. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Those Who Need This,  We  are all in a healing process. Just as plate shatters following its tumble toward Earth, we too, as humans, crack and break. Mirroring the pieces of the plate upon impact, our once whole selves disperse and scatter into the unknown. Gone but not forgotten, that is change. If a person attempts to repair this metaphorical, broken plate, pieces both of grand and microscopic proportion will be absent. Therefore, the plate, no matter how well preserved, will never be just as it was.  We adjust to what the wo...

Dear Love’s New Owner, I hope this letter finds you well.  I don’t mean to disturb you, or distract you from your daily life, as I’m sure your schedule probably doesn’t permit for a long, drawn-out reading of a letter from the former owner of your new car. However, I do ask that you take the next two or three minutes to learn about who you’re getting. Yes, I said who. No, I’m not delusional.  Sadly, this is no Kirby or Bumble Bee story. Love doesn’t come life, nor does he save the world. But he does do good in this world, he protects what means the world to you, and is there if and when your world comes crashing down. I got Love on my 15 birthday. At that time, I was just beginning to think about hitting the roads, but the idea of car had rarely, if ever, crossed my mind. By some chance, this white convertible bug was pulled to the front of the Volkswagen of Cool Springs lot just in time for my mom to see it, fall in love, and decide that would be the car that ...

The Delete Default: To Forgive or To Forget

-
Forgive and forget. These two ideas seem synonymous in our current day and age. We forgive those who talk about us in their separate group chats, despite our instant urge to block their number. We choose to forget how their glares in the bathroom before the bell rang made us feel worthless. Constantly setting aside how the whispers were shouted in our ears in a giant game of telephone that no one asked to play. And so the cycle continues: We forgive those who hurt us, so they forget our wrongs against them. This idea of “to forgive is to forget is to do right by others” is challenged by another up and coming idea of our age, that being the delete default. What is this delete default, you might ask? This is our generation’s way of ending all communication and contact with those who do wrong with the simple click of a “block” button. With this tool at our fingertips, why do we still allow those who hurt our mental and physical well-being to be in our lives, even if their prese...
