Age

Is age really just a number or is there more to it when it comes to love? What do you do if you meet someone and share an amazing connection with them, a chemistry thats almost toxic? Walk away because the difference in age is too much?


The funny thing about love is that you don't know when it might happen, or who it may happen with. Sometimes people just fit together regardless of their age. How long can that last for though to be quiet honest? Wouldn't the differences trump similarities over time? With age you gain experience, you mature as a person and and start to see things in a different light than you did before. If you are the younger one you're going to want to go out and live your life, do all the crazy things possible and really experience every moment, be able to taste it. But if you're the older one, you've already done all of that, now you are looking for stability, something constant in your life to create a rhythm you can fall into with someone.


So when this happens, when you meet someone and really connect with them but the difference in age is huge? Do you just go along with it, taking a chance, hoping that you will be the exception and be able to make it work? Or be realistic and walk away from the situation in order to avoid getting hurt? It's also possible one might be crazy enough to walk into it knowing it will end, but it's worth the experience. So what is one meant to do? Take a chance or walk away? 

A Beautiful Day

It's safe to say I've probably had one of the most unproductive days in history. However, it also happened to be a great day. One that brought a lot of joy into my life. Sure, I was blazed out of my mind for about 50% of the day but it's days like this that make me realize this is still worth fighting for.


The heat of the sun beat down on my face as I passed the joint. I couldn't have asked for more in that moment. Listening to great music while sharing a joint in the sun with one of your friends is pretty much one of the best things in the world. I consider myself ridiculously lucky to be able to have this girl in my life. She has to be one of the most genuine people I have met and the connection I share with her is rare. The easiness of our friendship is beautiful - I am free to be my self totally and completely and not for a moment feel judged. You feel so comfortable and safe you realize you don't need to hide anything from this person. I am ever so grateful I can say I have someone in my life like that, someone, who's love and support helps me push through every single day of my life.


Thank you for being you.
Never change,
I love you so.

Flashlights and Explosions


"It was me on that road, but you couldn't see me
too many lights out, but nowhere near hear
and the flashlights and explosions."

Stoned Epiphany

That over-whelming feeling of sadness washed over me for the millionth time as I lay on my balcony enjoying the heat from the sun and the music blaring in my headphones. I took the joint I had rolled and decided to light up - it wasn't until the last puff did I start to feel that familiar sensation spreading through my body, washing away the sadness. There was a new calm in the air now, just for a moment, my heart wasn't aching for my whole life to change.. or end. For once, all I wanted to do was live in the moment and enjoy every second of it. As the sun shined brighter, I lay back, closed my eyes and turned the music up. I wanted to get lost in the music, and I was well on my way. I was only experiencing a slight buzz, but that was exactly what I needed and it was perfect. Suddenly, everything that was bothering me before didn't matter. Life seemed beautiful - all my senses were heightened and I was able to soak in all the beauty around me. It smelt like summer now, and the sun felt glorious on my skin and as I opened my eyes, I was blinded by the brightness. I realized that life had so much to offer and this realization made me feel euphoric. There was hope after all. I wanted this moment to last forever, and in a sense it did. The sadness came back, but my epiphany about life stayed. That day, sitting in the sun I realized I did have something to live for, so instead of trying to end it and failing again and again, why don't I give living a shot? And so I did, and i'm still trying and it's hard but it's worth it. I'm finally fighting for the right thing, so maybe getting stoned to escape isn't that bad after all - sometimes, it does actually work out for the better.
