So it is Sunday night. . . well Monday morning. I am tired. but awake... thinking.
Sometimes I feel like we are all just on our own, like jellyfish flouting freely in the ocean. We cross each others paths and connect whether it be in friendship or in love. And I feel like we try far to hard to hold onto those we know we cannot. It seems in the process of holding on to those people we cant we learn to forget or under-appreciate those who always are there for us. The barnacles on our back, the rest of the fish in our school. People that have stood the test of time, been there for you when no one else was and even at this moment have not stopped believing in you. This is written for those people. If they don't know who they are please inform them. When you feel like your chasing a person , holding on to someone you can't. . . let them go. There are other fish in the sea. And I propose you find those fish who will be true to you and that will be there for you ten-fifteen-twenty years down the road. Because time does fly. . . I know coming from a 18 year old some of you are thinking, "boy you got no clue" but i do. . . I am not saying do not try to keep people who you seem to be losing, by god try. I'm telling you to surround yourself with as many amazing people as you can, those who will love you unconditionally. keep the old and search out the new. . . Remember we are not all just flouting on our own in the ocean. . Screw the jellyfish analogy. If anything we are all apart of one big puzzle, and there is a place for all of us.If you could all do me a favor please find the people who you know have been there, loved you constantly, never stopped believing in you, and caught you when you fell. THANK THEM. Tell them how much you appreciate them.Even if it is as simple as I am about to do.Thank you all for reading
Dear, Mom, Dad, Grandpa R & Grandma G, Grandpa J and Grandma K, all my numerous aunts and uncles. My Wings. My Two Brothers. and All the people Iwould love to list but cant in order to protect their identities- including past teammates,coaches, teachers, and friends.
~Thank you all for believing in me and helping me get myself to where I am. Each of you has a special place in my heart and I feel bad I haven't gotten to see or talk to you in a long time. E-mail me or something, life is busy but not too busy to talk to you all. Love . . .The Mad Hatter.

I am very honored to be on your list Kon. We are always here for you and will keep a plate of food warm for you and a place to sleep. Hopefully your wings will carry you so far you will never need them but if you ever do they are here for you as as well as all we can offer you throughout our remaining years here on earth.

Thank YOU Son!,
ReplyDeleteYou are grown and the world is your teacher now and you are a teacher for the world. I have taught you all a mother should including that you always need to be checking in from time to time so we know each other is okay no matter how old you get. But now it is past time I set you free. As they say if you love somthing set it free, if it comes back it's yours, if it doesn't it never was. I know you will always come back but I know you will and do belong to others as well. Go into this great world and float on the power of life. Please keep writing because you are an unbelivable and an amazing writer! I thought painting was an art but writing is the pinical of artistry! You are top notch!!! Let the world see and adore your depths of wisdom too!
I will always love you,
Mom
