Drawing from the well of experience I’ve gathered over the past 25 years of existence, I can draw one solid conclusion about my life: I’m a coward.

I’m spending my days folding up clouds and lining my pockets with dandelion flowers. Cradled in the allure of these soft, sweet distractions, it takes a moment for my mind to register that I’m shivering underneath a waterlogged sweatshirt. I think I want to walk away, to find some cover from the rain, but the roar of thunder in my backyard breaks what’s left of my fortitude. The ground rushes to greet me, so I close my eyes, countdown from 3, knowing that I’ll never make it back to 1, back to the beginning. 

Because I know I’ll never get the chance to see you again, and I only ever felt like I was living when I was with you. If you’re gone, I can’t start anything… but I can’t let you go either, so nothing has ended…

And nothing can change.

I believe all people are bits and pieces, and throughout life we can gather pieces from others or give some of ours away. Some people are only out to take everything they can, while others will give until they have nothing left, but most of us fall in between. And yet there are those people who will defy all logic and simply toss there pieces into the trash, for nobody and nothing at all. I don't know if it's possible to get back those pieces that have been thrown away, but this blog is all about my journey, to try and find out if someone who threw away everything for nothing can find something, or anything at all...I'm just looking for a reason to keep on living.
