You once said to me
"I've always wanted a someone who will sit around and smoke *** with me all day"
Yeah, that was us
I was a Trippin Beatles fanatic
And you were my
Miss O-High-O
We sat around talking
About who knows what
Coming to ultimate life changing ideas
That we didn't remember the next day
I frantically showed you the sounds I listened too
And
You showed me what ****** *** really was

So here's to you babe
My one true stoner gal

There's a girl that I follow on Instagram that is still in high school.
I don't know her real name, or where she lives but I see her post about her life and her problems.
Tonight I engaged with her and it was truly a blast from the past.
The problems that seem SO huge and forever are actually meaningless.
I tried to tell her that in a subtle way but of course she said she felt like she was going to throw up, and cry her eyes out
so I told her it's okay to feel that way.
An unrequited crush on one of her friends that is also dating one of her friends.
Lol geez.
I wanted to tell her to enjoy herself, enjoy that drama, and everything that comes with being a teenager.
I wanted to tell her life was only going to get harder and one day her problems would involve money, and figuring out where exactly you went wrong, why your life isn't what you had planned.
But of course I didn't. I'm not an *******.
I'm sure she hears that all the time and doesn't believe it anyway..
and why take away someone's hope and that wide eyed excitement for the world.
That is the best feeling.
Just the best.

For years I blamed my sadness on you.
For leaving me when I was the happiest I've ever been.
I thought that if I still had you I would never feel this empty again.
But now, I think you ended it at just the right time.
Things were already getting too complicated and I think that my happiness would have faded soon after realizing you would never not have her in your life.
Once reality started to seep in, I doubt it would have been the same anyway.
They say everything happens for a reason, so I guess I'm where I'm supposed to be.
Even though here feels a lot like being lost.

It was a warm spring night.
She awoke at around 3 a.m and sat up in bed.
She leaned over and lit a cigarette in the dark.
She was supposed to be awake at 8 a.m to go see family for Easter.
Her dog was snoring at the foot of the bed underneath the covers and her boyfriend was still awake playing video games in the living room.
She listened to the sounds of explosions and other unidentifiable noises as she took a drag from the cigarette.
She was comfortable but sleep seemed hard to get as it often is at night when you work third shift.
She stubbed out her smoke in the ash tray and laid down.
Time to try and fall asleep again.

Wine makes me smile,
makes me sing,
makes me laugh,
makes me feel pretty.
I understand why they have it with every meal in Italy.
It makes me feel like I'm at a fancy party in the 50's or something,
wearing a beautiful vintage dress,
holding the stem of the glass with painted fingernails and a lipstick stain on the rim.

A huge part of me wants to be involved in this nationwide gun control topic,
but there's another that doesn't want to participate.
Partly because I'm afraid I'm not educated on the subject enough and maybe I feel this way because I'm an empathetic and emotional person who hates violence of any kind and that blinds me from something I don't know about.
But, those that have the opposite opinion are probably just as educated as me, if not less
and everyone's voice and thoughts matter.
But.
It's just so touchy and there's no way to talk with a gun loving hick from Ohio who thinks he needs that gun to protect himself from the Government...
Although I think he's forgetting that if the Gov. wanted him dead, he would be without even seeing it coming.
Duh.
So.
As you might see, I'm conflicted as **** and feel that everyone is selfish and will never agree and that nothing will ever change.
I think it hurts me so much because I love my country, my home, but it feels like this isn't the place I grew up admiring anymore.
Children and innocent people will continue to die in large quantities and that's just what life in America is like.
