Shades of Sky

There’s no point in me saying I miss you (I miss you).

Learn four new things everyday. Something about yourself. Something about the people you love. Something about the world. And something about a stranger.

Let’s pretend we’re artists and everything we feel is something new to be proud of. Let’s take our imaginary friends on a double date and ditch them in a movie and hope they get along while we kiss outside on the sidewalk. Let’s take the dreams you mumbled in your sleep and paint a child’s nursery. And if we don’t finish today, we’ve always got tomorrow.

Your hurt. Your anger. Your pain. Your sorrow. Your frustrations. These are all there for a reason. Use them.

Be inspired.

Do something.

Change the world.

Always have something to look forward to. Make something up right now. Something you want to do. Someplace you want to be. Someone you want to meet. And look forward to it.

I have found it easier to identify with the characters who verge upon hysteria, who were frightened of life, who were desperate to reach out to another person. But these seemingly fragile people are the strong people really.

You are your hair and your eyes and your thoughts. You are what you look at and what you feel and what you do about it. The light from the sun is still a part of the sun. My thoughts of you are as real as any part of you.
