[Reading card] “Thank you for everything, you’re a great teacher and I’ll miss you.”

often we spend the ends in a state of regret instead of relief. in the corner of my room lies a box of blank paper: memories that could have been made, people that could have been approached, bucket list checkboxes that were discarded. i still carry the weight of the paper, but there is nothing to look back on. instead i am reminded that i could have picked up a pencil and created a masterpiece. why didn’t i try harder? why didn’t i? why? what grief lies behind a touch-starved heart!
so hug your favorite teachers and keep in touch with your friends. smell the sunshine and taste the earth on the air. plant flowers with your smile and paint meadows on your conscience. make the world a better place, even if only for yourself.
The end of the year is upon us! Here are a few more collected fragments from the semester that I did not get the chance to use. Enjoy your summer and remember to look and listen for modest wonders–life is too short to walk with your eyes glued to the ground.
Until next time~

Would you rather have super intelligence or lightning speed?
Super intelligence.
So a hundred times smarter than you are right now.
Oh… never mind then. I want the super speed instead!

It’s for kids with cancer, they don’t have hair so they make wigs for them, and I go in and donate my hair.
Yeah, hair is a commodity for those patients.
My hair is valuable too, ‘cause I’m a redhead. Rare hair color.
