Youthhood

So, pretty much just keep your mouth shut/ remind yourself not to behave like a child. Stand up straight and make eye contact. Because we leave lasting impressions. And nobody digs the slouching juvenile presentation. Take care in your words. Err on the side of caution. Silence your self in the presence of doubt or authority. If you must, be sure to speak in turn. Brief and direct. Listener comprehension should be more satisfying than compliments on your vocabulary. ///// The vernacular is a disturbing pretense to cunning, as the subtlety of non verbal insight weaves a shroud of ambiguity where dimness does disguise shape sign and meaning. So a boulder seems a body or a smile seems a scowl and a warning whispered might be an invitation.

its like the sun revolves around you. and were only in our early teens. trying to reach conclusions without exposing our confusion. its like, whats the point of doctrine if we second guess it when comes the time to act. better really believe what you decide on. better understand it. cuz these ideas should influence our instincts.ready yet? get set. and there is no time to get there now. we must arrive immediately. its all a trick of the mind. reasoning only gets us so far. then its left to silence. motionless before the rest of time.surrounded by endless desert. logical path trailing back. swept away by unforgiving winds. no hope for hesitation. might as well trudge through drying concrete. better then be sure about each step. and like her words dont take a single one for granted.                 (Dante)
