Moments

1. When I was sitting in Economics class, and the Veteran's Day parade was marching down Broadway, with the music wailing and the sirens blasting, and Mrs. Robinson was lecturing us on the intensity of America's current economic crisis. As the noise got louder, she would try to yell over it, but that just made it worse, not to mention extremely apocalyptic.

2. When you came back home and didn't know what to do with your life, so you started asking questions like, "Who am I?" and "Where do I fit in to all this mess?" then we met a friend who told you by using terms that he wouldn't let us define that you weren't special and you shouldn't have a plan for the future. That's when I decided that I'm sick of words if they're just going to build a fucking wall, and I'm sick of ideas if their extremism will only keep me at a standstill. Because there is no real solution, and still, none of us know what the hell we're doing.

3. When I re-accepted my mother's friend request on facebook, and sent her a message that said "Sorry I unadded you because I was mad at you. I wont do it again! I love you," and she replied, "That is OK sweetie, I did it to you a few weeks ago then added you back. We are a lot alike that way... doesn't mean we don't love each other. I appreciate it that you always say you love me after leaving me a text message- you are a good role model for me in that. I love you."

4. When I woke up this morning and listened to your voicemail that said,"Hey, I had a dream that last night you were in a crowded room of people and I was looking for you. When I finally found you, you looked really upset and disoriented, and just told me 'This is so weird' over and over." That was the moment when I realized that my life isn't happening like I had planned, because I've swept all of the important things to the side. There are also a lot of things happening that are out of my control, and now I'm wishing I had done it all differently. Goddamn, how you were right.
