Do you remember when we left
our hearts in the ocean?
When we sailed
around and around and around,
wishing the waves
would sway them back to us?
The wind, it pushed us
farther to the shore instead
Now here we are
with our feet in the sand
See, sweetheart
from here we stand,
though broken
and would never really mend
There on the horizon,
a beat is still a beat
even if it's not the same
I know we now have
to part ways and dance
around this ocean of time
Still, a beat is a beat
even if it's only mine.
I didn't get much torch time this summer so instead of trying to churn out a bunch of the same old I decided to learn a new skill. I haven't perfected it yet but I'm getting there.
I feel like what the world needs aren't messages like "do your best and all your dreams will come true!" but rather "no matter your success, you can still be happy!"
we need more media telling us it's okay to fail. that most of us fail. that trying your best and not succeeding doesn't mean you effort was wasted. that you don't need to always try your best for everything. do what you can, when you can, and realize that no matter how things turn out, you can still find a way to be happy day to day. dreams come and go, it's okay to miss your catch and watch them pass by or change into something else entirely.
Anyone else think it's funny that Chai is just perpetually That Guy wherever he goes? Good luck trying to enjoy the majesty of nature, this dipshit and his musical robot powers is over here making the tide come in on beat. And you can't even say anything bc what's he gonna do? Press pause?
