"we are grown, but cannot see. lost our world of make-believe. simple times now seem so far... use to be in my backyard. yeah, the world was still in my backyard. but we are okay, we are alright. we sing very loud. yeah, we're singing, we are okay. we are alright. close our eyes, close our mouth yeah, we shut our eyes though we're in doubt. and so it goes, we can never seem to find the time we lost though we try at any cost. we try...but we are okay, we are alright. " -Joshua Radin, "We Are Okay"

  1. Loved reading this. My personal favorites: Pledge parties at Dexter's and Jodi Picoult books so good you can't put them down. You know, you should add "writer" to your list of options for future careers. How awesome would it be to make a career out of doing something you love and comes so natural to you? Or consider making a hobby out of it, at least. You write brilliantly.
