I look out the window
I see a city swallowed by pink and blue
(I feel the grip in my chest )
The crimson peach sun glaring
It passing beyond us
(I want to cry)
The glass reflects the glow of the last light
A sparkling melody
(I surrender a tear)
I listen to the music flowing into my ears
I hear the pinks and blues
(The grip won’t let me be)
How can I see something so beautiful
And yet I feel so sad?
Even now- I’m overwhelmed
The beauty of life
The beauty of life surrounding me
Is it because I feel like it’s unattainable
(I can’t see the keys)

Validation Is Not An Outside Thing
Hey Baby, Can we start by taking a second to celebrate the fact that you are here today? Yes! For some of us, it’s a small victory on life that we get to claim every time we wake up. You and I both know we haven’t always wanted to be here. Choosing to stay is a victory. So, congratulations but also thank you! If you are anything like me at your age, I know you are rolling your eyes, right now. But give me a second. It’s a little sappy—I’m aware—but I believe that at every point in life, we all have something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a simple word to a person who needs to hear it at that very moment. So there you go.
