Bouncin' back!

Hello! It has been quite a long time since I have posted on here which is a shame but have no fear, I am bouncin' back (hence the title of this post). I have decided that as I finish up the final weeks of high school (ah) and head into the summer and eventually my first semester of college at George Washington University (double ah), I want to keep blog posts coming on a much more regular basis.
This is partially because I have more time for free writes/poetry and partially because I want to have the ability to look back on this time period with as much tangible memories as possible!
So I suppose this is the intro to the next series of posts that are soon to come, stay tuned:)
Now before I depart I leave you with a small free write that I wrote a few days ago for the fun of it... inspired by discussions about the concept of originality....

"I crave consistency in my life however i will never achieve that divine simplicity. 
But a craving, much like a wanting, pales in the comparison to what actually exists. Because while a craving is simple and outlined with a stringent structure and all of the coloring done inside the lines, the scramble of truth and possibility that exists is much more abstract. 
The colors of my life are scattered across the page of my existence and my path ahead has more forks in the road than a mere direction. However it is this mystery, this sense of anti-simplicity that drives me further. 
I crave consistency but I am quite the opposite. I am up I am down I am here and there and I am never the same as anything that ever was or will be. 
Because, frankly, nothing is ever the same. Nothing is ever consistent. Patterns find themselves within the lives that we live but each pattern is inherently skewed from the next. 

Without this change, this alteration, this inconsistency, humanity as we know it would become a simple path, void of surprises and color and delightful unpredictability. "

That is all for now!! ~tals
