Nothing and Everything that matters

I come home in a week!!! The excitement is overwhelming. I miss the city, the lights, the friends that are family and surprise, surprise I miss my girlfriend. This is the same girl that has bee driving me CRAZY for months. We have had extreme ups and downs but we have learned a lot about each other through it all. I learned how much I need to just get up and go...but that sometimes I need to have patience. She learned that she is amazing with her talents and that she NEEDS to get up out there and perform. Get her name out there because the worse that can happen is what?!? NOTHING.

Amazing artist sometimes need that push to feel confident about their gifts. I know that I did. I was self conscious about performing my poetry but after I got past that phase it seems so much easier to perform words that are genuine to what I feel is important.

Latest Poetry inspired by...nothing and everything that matters.

Nothing and Everything
Think of whats important...think WHY it's important
future jobs and careers (hmmmm) why is it important?
It's not.
Money doesn't buy happiness.
 It brings temporary enjoyment
for a moment. In the moment.
Education is important why?
To get a career that can bring you money
 that doesn't even make you happy in the long run?
It's oppressing and sad and...
the only system human beings know that can help them thrive
well I refuse to thrive on this.
It's heteronormative
So what is important?
Nothing and Everything!!
I'm above the influence
Are you?

Disclaimer: I was actually inspired by my lovely girlfriend who is dealing with a lot and has her moments when she believes nothing is important in America anymore...but in actuality, everything is just as important as nothing.

I hope you like this random blurb. It wasn't nothing too different out of the norms for me. Topics like this have been affecting my life a lot lately. Everything and Nothing
