Life, at the low end of the totem-pole of life seems to require constant comment.


 

“The open ear of youth doth always listen” - Shakespeare I want to listen, when adults give me advice but it's not easy. The wind-up, the slow methodical narrative to the point drives me insane. I know you’re trying to build a bridge - not a wall - so spit it out - I’m right here, behind these blue eyes. Whatever hurtful idea you’ve latched onto - let me hear it - STAT. Maybe you’ll find your message returned - unopened - but you’re like earth - I’m stuck in your gravity - so for the love of whatever deity you worship - spill it. Upgrade my life with your insight and I'll be forever changed and improved.
