I don’t want to go.
I’m not prepared.
It’s a great big world out there.
Every day presents intimidating new experiences;
Relentless challenges.
Encounters unexpected, unplanned, and unwanted—
Life’s little surprises collide with
Coincidence, serendipity and wonder.
People so varied and complex, observe
New perspectives.
Friends, strangers, and communities, brave
Dozens of daily interactions—
Challenge beliefs; transform lives.
A patchwork of people woven together,
Ever changing.
A world full of mystery and exploration,
Exciting and unpredictable!
Bring me those horizons,
I’m ready for adventure!

release the pressure rename forever "until" our future remains * Thanks for reading! Author's Notes: I am having an interesting time writing these senryu that make up the unexpected and unplanned "scratches in my mind" series. Perhaps there is a chapbook in the making. We shall see. Anyway...hope you are enjoying it.

A letter to me as I turn 22 today
A letter to me as I turn 22 today To all the 22-year-olds in the world, this one's for you. Go out there and conquer the world, it is your age to emerge victorious as you race across life's timelines, striding in the zeal of your highest vigour. It is an obligated way of living, a mere bane of existence, to become the worthiest and most appealing object of praise, a token of appreciation that glorifies the lineage of the family and has accomplished the major milestones that are deemed to be benchmarked and embraced as laid down by our society and the ones that surround us.
