This world is so huge And we are so insignificant But we cannot know we’re not tall we’re bigger when we don’t know we’re small
When we know we are this small, And forget that we’re not to tall We begin to stop caring, trying, begin to fall we’re bigger when we don’t know we’re small
We need someone to make us remember That we are tall, all the time, jan-December We laugh, we sing, we walk with confidence Bigger than we could ever prove Because the fact is we’re bigger when we don’t know we’re small

SEPTEMBER 26,2021 PROMPT: teacher gives class a different type of assignment
LEARN TO LIVE WITH A CONSTANT IN CHANGE.
“class, today we have a little something different planned“ Mrs. Marvel said as we walked into the room. I could see that our papers weren’t on our desks for us to do or do you know today, I could also see that we had no pencils and nothing was wiped down, hence there was really no evidence that class was prepared for us to stay. “Theodore could you be a doll and make sure that everybody does not take a seat they all just line up in the front of the classroom?“ That’s weird we never do that. Ha? I wonder why this is Happening. All the kids are going crazy they’re all being insane because this isn’t our normal routine which makes us excited because going to school is boring for us little kids it’s hard to sit through and it’s hard to be there and do the same thing every single day. So I guess we’re just having a little fun with it. “No this is a change isn’t it? This is hard for you or may be exciting? Or maybe it’s stressful may be overwhelming? No, kids this is what we call change. Some people in life have a very very hard time with it, some people in life love it can’t get enough of it. Now I am one of those people who don’t like it too much but it’s important that we learn how to deal with change and adapt to it. It’s important that we don’t let the stress get the better of us that we stay a good person stay at constant, keep our respective behavior, and keep ourselves together through it all. Change is very hard at times or very exciting at other times. It’s a giving, throughout life you’re going to go through change. You’re going to go through hard change, you’re going to go through easy change, and you’re going to go through some impossible changes. Now in the situations you need someone to talk to, and you need a constant in your life. So raise your hand if you’re stressed.“ One kid raised their hand. Then as others saw that kid raise their hand they raise their‘s to so now there was about 12 out of 15 kids raising their hands. “See, more people stress than excited, that is very conmen. Could you all name some hobbies like art or sports or even just doodling, or thinking of your pets or baking or just anything that calms you down or that you like to do that you’ve always done. Maybe breathing exercises.“ We went around the circle naming things that we liked to do that didn’t require too much time. “OK so now I want you all to write on the piece of paper that you have in front of you in this circle, that thing that you said whether it be breathing exercises or art or really anything that you liked to do. So what you’re going to do is every year on this date I’m gonna send these cards to you or an email or text saying what that card says on it and I want you to make sure that you’re always doing this thing through your entire life throughout all the change and all the hard and all that happy you have this constant you have this to resort to.
SEPTEMBER 25, 2021
Doesn’t feel like I’m leaving much
Everyone has a home, everyone has a crib from their first night of sleep, everyone has a blanket that they cuddled as a baby, everyone has a home that they grew up in. 42 Washingtonville Ave. is what you call that for me, it’s where My crib for my first night of sleep is, it’s where my blanket that I cuddled as a baby is, it’s where I grew up in. My best friend Trevor lives right next-door window to window our bedrooms are. Trevor‘s parents and my parents are good old friends, we got barbecues, shared babysitters, and a bus ride too. We went to school together since we were babies. We went to daycare way back when. I walk back into the empty house, where our used furniture and memory filled rooms used to be. I stand where our green couch should be, the one I hid extra dessert in. I walk into the kitchen where our chipped wooden table should be, pounded with frustration from 12 years of homework. I’m shocked out of my nostalgia when i here my mom calling for me. I guess this is goodbye. I walk out to the front door where I had my first kiss, and across the lawn where I learned back flips, and onto the street where I learned how to bike ride, and into the car, that used to drive as to town. I love this place too much. Too much, that it numbs me. So as I leave my life behind, It doesn’t feel like I’m leaving much.
It was thick in the air There was no more to say, the silence was just all too rare, at 6 o’clock in the evening on a Monday.
There was no yelling, no stress, no loneliness, no debt, it was my horse and I,time was only telling, the pink, yellow blur, leading to the clouds, that right there was it my very own sunset.
So now when there is yelling, stress, loneliness, and debt, all I need to do, is think of my very own sunset.
