Feeling Fresh

Different is not comfortable

but different is good

Today I was different because I posted on my blog

Yesterday I was different because I didn't go to work

In fact I quit my job

My life isn't worth 8$/hour right now because

I have the rest of my life to do that

I went with a friend I don't see too often and we rode ripstiks and longboards

down a hill in his neighborhood that I don't know

I got lost in the feeling of the sunlight on my arm

I felt the shivers and the happiness from being free for now

I did something different by inviting new people to a campfire

we listened to folk music and classic punk

as we roasted our brats on the sticks that we carved

Somebody started playing guitar and I started playing the harmonica

and he sang words to a song that none of us knew

not even himself

but we all knew how important this song was right now

I was different because instead of worrying about issues right now

I put my faith in the thought that I won't be here much longer

and that I can start a new life when I leave to go to college

I can get a fresh start

and fully experience and understand who I am

Different is not comfortable, but you quickly learn make yourself cozy
