In the wilderness is where you'll find me,
getting lost in a place I feel most found
walking here and all around.
dancing under the large willow tree with the faeries I'll be
this is the place I feel most free.
you'll find me near the lagoon, bathing in the sun's rays
soaking in the sun because life's a haze.
together we'll cleanse each other and wash the day away
underneath the willow tree, we'll kiss until the skies are gray.

When I grow up I want to be a:
model
journalist
business owner
creator.
I'm turning 20 in 15 days and to be completely honest, all I want to be is free.
Free from society's standards of having life figured out,
free from the guilt of being in America while my family is in the Philippines,
free from my 9-5,
free from the anxiety and heal the depression that consumes me.
When we were younger we wished of becoming extraordinary people,
that was before we met fear and anxiety.
We grow up so quickly that we forget to slow down sometimes.
We forget to allow ourselves to do the things younger us would love to do like:
go star gazing under a starry night with someone special
spray paint a train
break into an abandoned amusement park
prank someone
do a social experiment and help the homeless
kiss a stranger for the hell of it
put your head out the window while you're going through a tunnel
We have been consumed by life's demands that we forget to take a step back and just breathe.
