young H E A R T S spark F I R E

.. I moved to a new town.

away from everyone I’d ever known on 5/8/2011..

I’m a little over a week away from having been here a year.

I’m still just as confused as I was that first week..

I’m still just as overwhelmed by life and the curveballs it continues to throw my way.

I’ve never been an athlete so curveballs are not my forte’..

I’ll never be one..

but they’ll continue to arise.

I’ve learned a lot in this past year.

I’ve learned to live..

I’ve learned to love..

I’ve learned how to take it day. by. day..

I’ve thrown myself under the bus.. time and time again.

However.. I can say that I’ve come out so far ahead.

I’m a silly little guy with a massive heart..

and that’s only one of the realizations I’ve come to over the course of this long year.

I wear my loved ones hearts on my sleave before ever letting anyone see how heavy my own is.

There is definitely something to be said about this.

This isn’t a post for everyone who follows me to try and understand..

simply one I’ll post as a reminder to myself.

With that said I’ll end on this note..

Only you are responsible for your own happiness..

others can try and inflict their own pains upon you, but you wake up each morning with the chance to smile or to wallow in your own problems.

Just open your eyes

stretch that mouth open

let those pearly whites shines

and

let

your

love

grow

tall.

that’s all tumblr.

and..

goodnight.
