It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive. It…

I am the words
Dancing on the tip of your tongue
That you haven’t had the courage to say
All you have to do
Is speak

Strive to be Better
Due to society’s highly apathetic and complacent nature, Andrew Liu, a friend of mine, challenged our entire chapter to come up with 3 goals that they would like to achieve this quarter in order to better themselves. The goals should be placed somewhere that you will see them when you wake up, like the bathroom mirror, so that you can start working to accomplish them at the beginning of each...

I can’t really explain why I’m so drawn to her
But it might be because
She wears beauty like her favorite shirt
Uses sunshine as toothpaste twice a day
Loves like she can’t be hurt
And runs the red lights anyway
Because if she took the time to stop for every guy that wanted her to slow down
She’d still be backing out of her driveway

They say that love is abstract
But I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it in every step that you take
I see it in the way you talk, laugh, and smile
And maybe I’m just crazy
For girls as sexy as their style
But I don’t want to just fall in love
I want to jump out of a plane ten thousand feet in the air and skydive into it
Without a parachute
Wearing nothing but my heart on my...

She flew into my arms
And there she stayed
Mesmerizingly beautiful
Her song of a voice
Was a sedative to the mind
And adrenaline to my heart
I’d wake up content every morning
Knowing that she
Was right beside me

I was walking to class today
When I caught just a glimpse of you
The way you move
From the corner of my eye
To the center of its room
Leaves me breathless
Soaking in your beauty if only for a second
Savoring my day if only for a moment
And dreaming of you if only for a night

Love at first sight
Is an understatement
No, to me
She is all five senses

This video was shot on a random day at John Muir College at UCSD with a camera. We walked around Muir and randomly approached people. All I asked was if they’d be willing to share a secret, any secret- so that their peers would have a better understanding of the school we go to and the people we coexist here with. And maybe feel a little more brave to share and acknowledge their own secrets. The...

Angels and Halos
I was walking down the street the other day when it started raining. It began as a light drizzle, falling harder and faster and colder with every exhaled ghost of a breath that I could muster. I couldn’t wait to get home, slide out of my rain-soaked clothes and into the warm embrace of an open fire. And in that moment I realized that I don’t like the rain quite as much as I used to.
The...
I’ve never been one to take chances
I’m scared of grenades, knives, and guns
But it seemed worth the risk
To be with a bombshell like her

What happens if you fall in love with a writer? →
Lots of things might happen. That’s the thing about writers. They’re unpredictable. They might bring you eggs in bed for breakfast, or they might all but ignore you for days. They might bring you eggs in bed at three in the morning. Or they might wake you up for sex at three in the morning. Or make love at four in the afternoon. They might not sleep at all. Or they might sleep right through the...
openupyoureyesnow asked: not so much a question. I wanted to let you know, I'm currently enrolled in university as an english major, earlier in the week my prof had us bring in a poem that touched, moved, inspired, frightened, or interested us. I brought in The Emotive. Not just because your words are not but mere words but because your story is brilliant. Your lines, your imagination. My favorite line being: You...

If I could only hold your hand
I would tell you that
If your body was the universe
Your smile would be the sun
And your eyes moons
Shrouded behind a million wisps of shooting stars
Your voice would be the angels raining joy
From heaven above
And Amy
I can’t help but wonder what you would say
To the thought of the two of us
Dancing to the rhythm of my heart
Beating faster
And...

I wrote this for you.
I miss you.
I miss the way our hearts pitter patter to the same beat
The way we used to walk down the street with our synced feet
Knowing that what we had was way more concrete
Than the path we treaded on
Baby, that’s a feat.
The subtle way our eyes locked whenever we would stare
And how I never had to question whether you’d be there
I knew that nothing I alone would...
