Sometimes I laugh 

Sometimes I cry. 

Sometimes I'm spontaneous 

Sometimes I'm shy. 

Either way 

I fumble through my steps 

As life passes by. 

Sometimes I think about the 'what ifs'

And the 'buts' and the 'maybes', 

The 'should I' and 'should nots'

The strings all tugging and tying Into knots. 

A walking talking oxymoron 

If only people would see that I'm not that strong 

Because underneath it all 

I feel as though I don't belong  

The struggle each day as I step into the reflective pool,

Drowning 

Yet having to play it cool. 

Sigh 

Sometimes it's the ones who seem to have it all together 

Who have traversed through the toughest weather. 

Yet, not ask me my pains and I'll tell you no struggles 

Because in the end it's all seemingly good

A Time for Friends (PPC)

This is a little speech I made for my friends to be read at my birthday dinner. Sometimes I have difficulty expressing myself out loudly, so writing does help . Hopefully they will  like it >.<

P- P is for the people that are you all, my wonderful charming friends who mean so much more to me than you will ever know. Through all the hardest and the happiest times casts a memory of you all that brings a smile to my face. Through all the diverse and complex personalities, our relationship could not be any simpler; one based on a fundamental understanding of who we are and what we mean to each other. We are much more than that labeled thing ‘friends’. We’re brothers and sisters who love each other through and through, and not just in that arbitrary sense but in the way it’s supposed to be. We tease and bicker, and laugh and play and our bonds keep growing stronger day by day.

P- Is for the purpose that all drives us all. We’ve all been drawn together because of our common goals and aspirations which we all lend support to each other for. We all aspire to be great things and know what it takes to get there. We’re driven and all work so hard, displaying such discipline in this time of our lives when others wish to be free spirited. What makes us rise up after being worn is the support and continued strength that we all give each other.

C- Is for Companionship that we all share. There is no denial that our friendship is unique as they come, especially in a world where the term’s meaning has no bearing. There’s been a spark that enlightened all of us and keeps us strong. Without each other, this journey would not be as memorable or as enjoyable. We’re no doubt friends until the end; friends to grow old with and look back at memories fondly (or in annoyance: P)

Cheers to all the memories made and all the more to be made

Love,

Charlie

It's my birthday!

Today marks another year ventured and I can't express my gratitude enough. I'm thankful for my all my loved ones; my family and my friends and all thankful for all the countless little things. Could not wish for anymore save my continued blessings (which ironically is a lot)
