What Is Left Behind
A flock of birds playing, chasing each other around the limbs of their friend, the dead tree. — They whirled around every inch of every branch

Which am I – The bird or the fly? — The bird which flies above so high and further beyond any understanding to the undiscovered

Hi. This is me... ... In case you're stumbling across this post and don't know who I am. Today, I am turning 25 years old. The big two-five. That makes me a Pisces; I read something recently that said a Pisces' 25th year of life is one of their lucky years! Who knows if that's true, but what's wrong with a little blind faith?

Oh what a day full of mystery and wonder! Waking up to a blanket of bright white snow covering my city head to toe left me so giddy. The kind of thing that happens once a year, if we're lucky, though not everyone thinks that way. Most are held up inside to keep their delicate noses from turning red. With a sense of adventure, however, or a bit of imagination, the empty, snow covered parking lots turn into anyone's winter wonderland!

Hello World! Welcome back to the seventh part of The Broke College Grad Diaries. I know this series has been a little all over the place and there hasn’t been a consistent expectation of what I’m going to post and I apologize for that. This is like a journal to me except that I share it with the world and sometimes what goes on in my head is a little messy. I promise to do better!

Bounteous fruit, a pear. Red or green or yellow. Imperfect skin, not rough, just dotted with brown. Mostly firm but it gives in under a thumb.
