Post secret

I discovered post secret my junior year of college and it has become one of my favorite little pleasures on Sunday mornings. After I wake up and grab some coffee, I sit at my computer and through these secrets I feel connected to man kind. Some of them I can relate to and occasionally I find ones that I truly understand but would have never thought to send them in as my particular secret, however this past week all of that changed. I came across this secret, and it was exactly the secret I had been waiting all these years to send in.

No I did not send in this postcard, but I might as well have. This card represents the battle that I have been fighting off an on with both my family and myself for close to ten years now. I know that post secret is anonymous and most likely the person who sent in this secret will never read this blog, but thank you anyway whoever you are. Thank you for reminding me that I am not alone in my fight of not having cancer but living with cancer.

Poetic nerd.

A few months ago I got the writing itch and was able to crank out a few poems and things the I really enjoyed. Inspiration has been a bit slow again lately but I really did adore every second of it while it lasted. This is something I wrote during that time...

Yesterday I showed you parts of me
that most humans have never seen.
Though fear consumed me,
your bright eyes led me away from the clouds.
You have those forever kind of eyes
that could tame the wildest lion.
Such a contradiction from my ever changing view.
I wish I could reign mine in and hold back the change of the tide.

I want to discover the real truths of our pairing.
To learn the stories and feel the feelings of this bright boy
who seems to carry the whole universe in his head.
To see if I could learn all the mysteries
and somehow keep the butterflies.

We could stroll hand in hand
and take the most beautiful mental photographs the world will never see.
We could explore this vast wasteland they call life
and through each others eyes make it seem like the garden of Eden.
