Dear SF,

The majority of my life I've been cynical towards you. As a kid I hated how busy you were all day and all night. Deafening white noise, rude people and dirty streets, all I ever saw was the bad side. As a teenager I was robbed, shoved and yelled at by random people and I always wondered why anyone would live in such a place.

In retrospect, I've come to realize there cannot be a beautiful city without faults. At the end of the day, I am responsible; it was my choice(fault) what I saw. I wish as a kid I chose to see you as the city of opportunity.

The city of love. With a skyline that would make your heart skip a beat.

Thank you for making me tough, showing me how to forgive and teaching me how to be respectful.

~C.M.

You are you, and that is your power. What’s your message?

All of the poetry that I write is inspired by people, interactions, or circumstances that occur in my life. To all of the people that inspire my writing: Thank you!

~MOMENTS~

Collect the good ones

Forget the bad ones

Enjoy the exciting ones.

Be. Alive. 

Live for the Moment

But give gratitude to the past

Do not deprive. 

Live life full of light 

Into opportunity you dive

Light the room

No matter what time you arrive. 

Be a lighthouse. 

Collect, Forget, and Enjoy

Allow, yourself, to thrive.

{Moments}

P.S. - Sometimes it’s bold to forget
