I guess I'll do a short post for the eve of

Life is SUCH a weird concept. It's kinda like sleeping, if you think about it. Everyday, we wake up to a world that's been running on its own while you were in your blissful unconsciousness, and when you wake up, you start your own day. If you think about it, it's like we're born every single time we wake up. Out of some vague darkness, into the hustly bustly world, only to go back to another vague dark place.

I like that concept of us being the center of the world, in a sense that all you know is what you know. And even then, who knows if even THAT is real. For all you know, the world only existed when you were born. For all you know, the world only exists the moment you wake up in bed. For all you know, the world DOESN'T exist the day after you die. I don't know what I'm talking about.

I'm thankful for everything I have, everything I've learned, all the people I've met and have helped me grow in each other their own individual ways, all the little things that make me smile, all the grand things that make me smile. I'm thankful for love, for understanding, acceptance, open-mindedness, their opposites to justify the things I believe in, for all the opportunities I've been given, for being in the place that I am today, for growing up in Oakland, for being allowed to be me, for having a roof to live under, for having the internet, for having the choice of having any food I desire, for my friends for loving me for me, for my friends, for Henry, for my brothers, for my parents.



And you ask me what I want this year and I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days, cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings, and desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words, and sing out loud, cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live, and something only you can give
And that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world, and there's 10 million more who probably could, if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words, and sing out loud, cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight, and somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words, and sing out loud, cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
