everything, everything, In my mind

everything happens for a reason. We need to find out what that reason is. you can't fix anything until you fix what's already been broken.

everything that is happening to you is all caused by things you've already done. the reason: trying to be just like him. you did what he did when we lived in the south side. your doing it because you want him to be proud of you, to love you; and in away, you also did it because he didn't love you. Because he thought you were useless.
you are not.

I always wondered why we are so different when we all grew up together. Maybe because the way we each perceive the world is different; the way we choose to cope is unique to that. THAT is something that is formed. We are the way we are, and the way our brain and soul perceive is the way we react in our worlds.

We are each a time portal. Since we are walking it we can't really see where we are going. We need to see outside the box; in some else's shoes; from the outside in.

We are all the same:
I and we are all separate:
Me, you, we
all go down the same paths but in unique situations. I'm older than you but that doesn't mean that we are not equal. {Even the president has to stand alone naked.} The difference is just time. This is when you can be yourself. It's just your self
and my self.
Be true to my self by not lying about yours. You can only isolate yourself. That is what makes you lonely. The 'woe is me' syndrome.

You dig your own holes. That's what your tripping on now. Sorry.

the teenager lives in the moment. the parents live from the past.

i always knew my life would amount to something. but i guess that it doesn't always turn out like that [new section. begin montage. seventh and eight grade. wonder years]
that was before time was money. time was to waste.

El amor is nothing but a victim of human desire

When you get to the longest tunnel on the express, hold your breath 'til the end then make your wish, she said. We always passed through that tunnel on I90/94. We lived by Belmont and California Avenue. My mom or dad would get on the express way via the Kedzie Avenue entrance. Evertime we'd get to the downtown tunnel I'd hold my breath with the strong faith of a religious woman and repeated,  I want love, I want love, I want someone to love me. A white long sleeve shirt from Discovery that had the word "LOVE"--a heart in place of the "O"-- in black bold Calibri font was my favorite shirt in sixth grade. I was eleven years old. It was a fitted shirt my dad's young girlfriend bought me with my dad's money. Or maybe it was just a gift from her. Or maybe she took me to Discovery and let me pick out what I wanted--a pair of shorts with glitter buttons on the hips, a crop top that had a white transparent shirt underneath. A boy from my class wa...

I didn't think he was this bad I knew he wasn't good but I didn't think he was this bad why wasn't I told? maybe because I wasn't good, too. I wouldn't have been able to help me, though, I like to believe that I would've if I had the mind to read in between his statements:  I miss our times as kids. Remember that time we trick-o-treat on Fletcher street? Time flies by so quickly. the bottle is the only thing that helps him right now it's the only way he can stop thinking seeking shelter in those hard loving memories. He tries to make everything better by high-fiving all of us now, by pretending he is happy now, passed out drunk. (July 27, 2015, 4:53 pm)

This is the second time I see you and you are no longer a little boy.  You're much taller, your hair, you've let grow.  You are a young man with a crown of cornrows.  We meet in the city, with your dad, at a sidewalk cafe. You walk away from my view. Maybe to pick up our drinks.  Your dad speaks to me this time. He's no longer the brooding man on the couch. Y our dads  much older since I last saw you. His eyes are droopy but they rise when he speaks of you and when he smiles. His freckles show more; on his nose bridge, on the high part of his cheeks. His dreds  are thicker but the color is lighter, like brown, smoky, dusk. His glasses are the same thin metal frames from always. He t ells me how well you're doing. How well your both doing. How everything is well. I mention your grandmother- I heard about your mom.  I reach out and place my hand over his-  I'm really sorry.  Your dad's bottom lip quivers and he gives me a nod.  You come...
