I was never one for introductions.

If only I had known...

This post was supposed to be written first. Pretty much, I'll differentiate my posts like this:

- posts that have titles as numbers [#] are solely for 'If only I had known' entries, and this is just my way of sharing all of the things I wish I had learned sooner

- posts that have titles as letters will be entries based on my university experience; before the titles of these entries, specific letters to define the post; [E] for events, [T] for thoughts, [S] for interesting things I learn in school :)

- any other posts are entries of things I've written myself, whether I'm feeling like writing a memoir, a poem, a story, etc.; the titles will correspond to the piece I'm posting

Here and there, I'll throw in a random post that will have a title like this [%$@&!] - sometimes I just wanna talk.

Enjoy!

If only I had known...

In high school, it doesn't matter who you are when you first walk through those doors. That person will change. Maybe you'll fail to see it at first, but there's nothing more to it. People change.

Second Look

Take a second
to realize where you've went wrong,
go back and fix it, repeat as needed.

Take a second
to materialize the perfection
that you've always dreamed of,
close your eyes
and envision that smile
you've yet to see.

Take a second
to figure out just why goodbyes are so hard,
but you never have to say it,
those tears speak volumes.

Take a second
to see that solid smile fall to pieces,
when it comes back,
let it be
for a damn good reason.

Take a second
to step away from the world,
and see things
from a different set of eyes,
enlighten your mind
and when you finally find
what you've been looking for,
breathe deep, and...

Take a second
to let it all sink in.
