 I can make it

“There is no way you’re just going to do this. Without a plan or anything?”

“I’ll be fine, I’ll just wing it, that’s worked for me so far.”

“Yeah but this is a much larger project, just because you can ‘wing it’ for small things, doesn’t mean it’s going to work for this.”

“I’m going to do this, I know you don’t think I can but I will.”

“No, there’s no way, you’re going to get tired and burnt out, and then quit.”

“I said, I’m going to do it, I’ll make it. I don’t care how little faith you have in me, I know I can do it.”

“Heh yeah, we will see about it. Maybe you’ll make it, but it aint going to be pretty in the end.”

“It doesn’t have to be pretty, it just has to be there, just needs to be accomplished. And I think it will be better than you expect in the end.”

“Sure.”

“Just watch, you will always be asking me, ‘Have you quit? Have you quit?’ And my answer will always be no, because I’m going to make it. And now I have spite driving me to the end as well as my own determination, so thank you.”

“Well, good luck with that. See you in a few months when you give up and want to come back to reality.”

“Alright, see you in a year when I’m done.”


The End

8/26/22 Musical Footsteps

  Musical Footsteps One day as he walked, a musical note began to play. With each step a new note, always complimenting the one before. There was no piano, just his stride, creating a beautiful melody for all to hear. He didn’t know why the music played, but he enjoyed it nonetheless. It sounded so familiar to him, but he could never quite place where he had heard it before. When passersby would ask what song it was, he would simply tell them it was the song from his heart. The song never repeated itself, it was one long continuous melody, the never-ending song. He could never predict what it would be like, everyday was a mystery, one he enjoyed solving. As he walked and found the current rhythm of the song, he would time his footsteps as best he could to make it sound nice. That was all the control he had, tempo. Sometimes he would jump in the air, and as he landed two notes came together as a chord. Continuous jumping, although tiring, made the song even better. At firs...

11/26/22 The Girl in the Horse Painting

  The Girl in the Horse Painting “Oh man have you seen that one painting, the one with the horse, on that blue background.” “Yeah! Oh my gosh that painting is so good. I’m actually looking to get a print of it to hang in my house.” “That would look so good in your living room, or anywhere really.” “I know, it’s such a good painting it could go anywhere really and make the room better!” “Have you ever noticed the girl in the background? I never had until someone pointed it out to me and then I couldn’t stop looking at her.” “There is a girl in the background?” “I know right. I was shocked too, but yeah, there is. When you get that print you’ll have to look for her.” “I guess I will. Wow, that's amazing. I’ve looked at that painting a thousand times and never even noticed the girl. You think the artist intended it to be that way?” “He must have. I’m sure he did it for this very reason, for people to be astounded by the fact they never saw the girl.” “Goes to show ...

4/24/22 Carried by the Breeze

  Carried by the Breeze She stood in the breeze, arms stretched out wide. “Take me away,” she said, and the wind complied with her request. It picked her up off the earth and carried her through the sky and clouds.  Although a wondrous view passed by below her, she just closed her eyes and floated with the wind. The sight could be replicated but this feeling would never be again. She did nothing but float, feeling the breeze run through her hair, trying to capture it in her hands. Hours went by and she enjoyed every moment, but the chill of the sky began to wear into her, she was ready to go down. The wind however had different plans, it was not ready to let her go. Her assumption of being a friend to the wind changed as she realized she was prisoner to it. Struggling against air, she tried to point herself downwards and break free. Her thoughts were not on the fall, only of wanting to be free.  After fighting and struggling as hard as she could, the air became im...
