2016

Donald Trump is worse than any horror story I've written.

You always think you want to be noticed. Until you are.

And I went into the new year loving myself a little less, but a little more where it actually mattered.

You may have the greatest vision, plans or goals as you may term it. You can call it Vison 2020, Vision 2045 or whatever. But remember, not work is done unless a distance is covered!

We spend our lives learning many things, only to discover (again and again) that most of what we've learned is either wrong or irrelevant. A big part of our mind can handle this; a smaller, deeper part cannot. And it's that smaller part that matters more, because that part of our mind is who we really are (whether we like it or not).

... the future is a teenage crackhead who makes shit up as he goes along.

There is not, in a material sense, any benefit to being right about a future you will not experience. But there are intrinsic benefits to constantly probing the possibility that our assumptions about the future might be wrong: humility and wonder.

I always win.

Adversity or opportunity is university.

Dear world, I am excited to be alive in you, and I am thankful for another year.

It's nice to think that the weirdos get to decide what matters about the past, since it's the weirdos who care the most.

The 2016 USA presidential election race clarified how an evil Nazi dictator like Adolf Hitler was able to come to power in global politics.

Dear 2016,If I has any defeats in your term, I am glad they were on my terms!Best,The Defeated Winner

Fly_ GenerationWe stand tall, we stand proud, we are the __ly_ generationWe think what we learn to think and dream with our eyes openWe keep our hearts on our sleeves for it to be brokenbut we can take it, we are the __ly_ generation.We question things when we need to understandIts important we know, how it works, where we standWhy all this pain and no explanation?we need answers, we are the __ly_ generation.We love to hate and hate to love, what have we become?Since when is that the norm? when did we succumb?The victims will be forgotten and culprits will change faceBut we will still be running, running to win the invisible race.So here__ to the untold stories and six degrees of separationwe can take it, after all_ we are the __ly_ generation.

You are either the person you were or the person you are, eventually you have to let go of one

Dear 2016,If I had any defeats in your team, I am glad they were on my terms.Love, Defeated Winner

This year has taught me the simple craft of belief. I believe in the things I__e nurtured and built this year. Slowly but carefully. Such as understanding, knowledge, passion, strength; the hundreds of songs I__e written, the 365 poems, the books I__e read and the miles I__e run. The resolution to breathe, to meditate, to not harm my mind or body even when I__e felt like it._

A lot of people are lost 2016 famous and non famous, relative and friends. A lot of people have also been lost in 2014 it's a fact!
