I FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL! And Passed my end of course exams with As & Bs (and 1 C in algebra-) despite having 61 absences throughout the school year!! :) I’ve gone through a lot of personal dilemmas this year which caused these absences…and my teachers didn’t believe I’d pass these tests due to it… but I did! I’m so happy right now. I was told I’m graduating unless I’m called and told otherwise, but from my understanding as long as I passed these tests, then I’ll be able to.

It’s just been a long road and I’m happy, scared, sad.. all kinds of feelings..

I couldn’t give enough thanks to my teachers. Some of them held my shotty attendance against me and I don’t blame them since their paychecks are going to start being based on their student’s performances next year. But I learned so much from the teachers that devoted their time to me and so many other students. I wish teachers were appreciated more. 

What a huge relief though. The 2 weeks I spent studying and making sure I made up all of my work paid off. I am dissapointed in myself for slacking so bad, but I found out why I am the way I am sometimes so I don’t feel so alone now. 

Now it’s time to plan for the future.

 Born too late to explore the world and too early to explore the stars, but at just the right time to explore our own consciousness.


. I’ve dreamed of the stars, but I realize that I probably won’t be able to get there.

The mind, however, is a new frontier, waiting to be mapped. Be it through wild, rampant exploration through dangerous means, or meticulous planning and testing.

In French, you don’t really say “I miss you.” You say “tu me manques,” which is closer to “you are missing from me.”

I love that. “You are missing from me.” You are a part of me, you are essential to my being. You are like a limb, or an organ, or blood. I cannot function without you.

Deep down, secretly, I wish there was a drug we could find that someone could take and they can go “Do you realize how fucked up you are in your thinking? Do you realize what we have done? What We, as the most advanced civilization in the world, have actually done? We have landed on the Moon- But uh, other than that we have the best weapons, the best ‘stealth missiles’, ‘stealth bombers’, best machine guns, the best laser guided missiles. I mean.. Is that something to be proud of?” You know, I don’t think so..

Little dark girl with
kind eyes
when it comes time to
use the knife
I won’t flinch and
I won’t blame
you,
as I drive along the shore alone
as the palms wave,
the ugly heavy palms,
as the living does not arrive
as the dead do not leave,
I won’t blame you,
instead
I will remember the kisses
our lips raw with love
and how you gave me
everything you had
and how I
offered you what was left of
me,
and I will remember your small room
the feel of you
the light in the window
your records
your books
our morning coffee
our noons our nights
our bodies spilled together
sleeping
the tiny flowing currents
immediate and forever
your leg my leg
your arm my arm
your smile and the warmth
of you
who made me laugh
again.
little dark girl with kind eyes
you have no
knife. the knife is
mine and I won’t use it
yet.

Charles Bukowski
