Walking Contradiction


I like poetry & feeling grass between my toes on a warm day, but I also enjoy sand & the grains that stick to my skin for hours later, despite a shower.

And I love to blast my music & dance. There's no greater joy than singing my lungs out.

Baking both frustrates & relaxes me.

I like the idea of sewing, although I'll admit my creations never turn out like I originally imagined they would. 

There's beauty in cities & in the country & I'm not sure which I like more.

Some say that things are simply black & white, but there's only gray area when talking about a person. People are a combination & mixture of ideas & preferences.

No one should ever be forced to choose a side on anything.

We should manifest our creativty & persona through our gray areas.
