Life and Death

When I think of my personal legend I think I have so much more time. In reality I'm twenty one but I still feel so young. Time is still moving though and I need to start planning where I am going. The fear of failure is always a thing in the back of my mind. What if I have my heart set on something and get absolutely crushed by the outcome? Yet that feeling of success, like a flow of energy rushing to the brain, is what makes life living for.

I have been in Massachusetts my whole life and I don't think it will stay like that. My story would be to boring if I never changed the setting. Yet Boston is a great place for what I would like to eventually do one day. I would love to entertain one way or another with stories. Creating a universe for a comic, movie or a game for the world to enjoy. It's scary to think of the challenges but having people wondering what is going to happen next or if two characters will get together is exciting.

It would make me happy knowing people took something from what I created and enjoyed it. Being remembered as a good, creative writer would be nice but I would want more. I like thinking that people would say nice things. That I try to help as much as I possibly can. That is what I plan to do with my days because I always liked the golden rule they teach in schools at such a young age. Do onto others as you want done to you. I want my loved ones to be proud of the person I have grown to be.

In Memory

Here lies a man

who tried to be his best self

Always trying

to give his help

We remember

not as he died

But as he lived

and thrived

With his burdens on his shoulders

his hair grayed as he got older

Even in the darkest of times

he did his best for his family to survive.

We do not remember him in his death

We remember how alive he was with breath.

For life has twist and turns

for the past yearns
