The Human Experience
The human experience is a beautiful, ugly, painful, joyful journey that we get to experience here on earth. The great thing about it is that you’re not alone. People will walk with you, all throughout your life. If you’re lucky, some will stay. Others will become seasonal flowers that will bloom when it’s time. …

here and now.
“What’s something that poor people have that rich people want? Time.”-Unknown I have noticed that last year seems like yesterday, and high school seems like last week.

maybe it’s time alpha
It’s 0430 on a school morning, and I think my body is done sleeping. I normally wake up at 0515 (0530 if I’m honest) and get ready for school, but this morning is a little different. I had a dream that I saw a lot of my band buddies from college. We were all at…
