The more I’m exposed to ways of life, stories, and tales of life. The more I would like to stay silent and listen. I feel like that is truly one of the gifts of life, not the gab, but being touched by others through their expressions. Learning to respect others enough to allow them to express themselves is something- I think we all need to sit with. When I don’t have the words, others do. It’s essential to understand others. I wish I had more of a story to tell, something of substance to express but I am in the sponge period where I’m soaking up the world right now.

Music:

I Want You - Marvin Gaye

Title Track off Marvin Gaye’s fourteenth Studio Album and lets just say It deserves the title.

It’s Whatever - Aaliyah

Its…..Aaliyah you know it’s good.

Lights Up - Harry Styles

Something about the catharsis from screaming I'm not ever going back… and how it would be so sweet if things just stay the same.

Poems:

Wait for Her - Mahmoud Darwish.

don’t have much to say, it’s lovely.
