so you know everything?

People have told me there's no such things as unicorns. I don't believe them. They tell me it's not scientifically possible. I still don't believe them. 

"Have you ever seen one?" they ask.

"No."

"Then they don't exist." Done. Period. End of conversation.

Wrong.

I've never seen an atom. But I've heard they exist.

I've never seen the universe. But I've heard it exists.

I've never seen God. But I've heard He exists.

Just because you haven't seen something, doesn't mean it does not exist. It doesn't make it a figment of your imagination. Anything is possible and everything is impossible. Everything and nothing is real. 

People used to say that the world was flat. They used to say that the Earth was the center of the universe. Now we look back and laugh at their ignorance. But who's to say we aren't the ignorant ones. Who is to say that in a thousand years, people will look back and laugh at us for saying that there were no unicorns or fairies. No leprechauns or abominable snowmen. We don't really know anything. We only think we know. We think that the universe is never-ending, but what if it's not? We think that we're the only planet with life, but what if we're not? We think that there are stars in the sky, but what if they all collapsed and we just don't know it yet? What if tomorrow night, we look out at the sky and the stars are all gone? 

Everything we "know" is constantly changing. Pluto is no longer a planet. Indigo is no longer a color of the rainbow. There is a new species of animals here. There's a new species there. Nothing we know is certain. Everything can change. So don't try to tell me that unicorns don't exist. Don't tell me that I just have a wild imagination. Don't say I'm crazy.

Or in fact, call me crazy. They called Einstein crazy. They said Columbus would die. They told Ford he was an idiot. Disney failed again and again. Oprah Winfrey was told she was "unfit for tv." But did that stop any of them? No. They kept going even though people said it wasn't possible. 

But, who are they to say that. Since when do they know everything?

try and stop me

All people ever say is 

"You can't do it"

Maybe I should listen,

They're probably right. 

But what if they're not?

What makes them right?

What makes them smarter than me?

What makes them say that I can't do it?

Because they're wrong.

I can do this.

I can do anything. 

You can try and knock me down,

You can try and stop me.

You can call me crazy, stupid,

An ignorant fool.

I don't care. 

Maybe I will fail,

But who even cares?

I can still try.

No one can stop me from trying.

lullaby

Sing me a lullaby,

A sweet, gentle song.

Sing me away to an

Undiscovered paradise.

Let the birds of melody

Fly me up to the sky,

Let the flowers of harmony

Bloom me a tune.

Care for my ears

With a soothing rhythm,

Care for my soul

With words from the heart.

Together we will find the

Beat of the universe,

Together we will make

A worldly sound.

Sing me a lullaby,

A sweet, gentle song.

Sing me some music

So I can feel your love.

hide and seek

One...Two...

Run, run, run,

Come and hide with me

Three...Four...

Together we’re

Unstoppable.

Five...Six...

Don’t look back now,

We’re almost there.

Seven...Eight...

A perfect hiding spot

To rest for a while.

Nine...Ten...

They’ll search and search,

High and low.

Eleven...Twelve...

But we’ll simply be

Ghosts.

Thirteen...Fourteen...

Long forgotten treasures

Buried deep within the mind.

Fifteen...Sixteen...

But wait. Will they 

Stop looking for us?

Seventeen...Eighteen...

Will they forget

Who we are?

Nineteen...Twenty...

Will we stay hidden

Forever?

Ready or not, here I come...

Will they really come?

mischief managed

last night I went to the midnight premiere for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2. There, I saw a lot of people sad at the end of the Harry Potter legacy, the end of an era, which gave me the idea for this post. I hope you enjoy it(:

Ten years we’ve been watching, faithful and loyal to the Chosen One. He is the one who has lead us through our time at Hogwarts. Every movie and every book has brought us muggles and wizards closer together.

Beyond this moment, this day, everything changes. Our childhood is over; we, like Harry, have finished our schooling at Hogwarts. Yes, it is a sad time. We all want to hold on to the world that J.K Rowling has created for us. Hogwarts will always live in our memories, as will all the people we have met along the way. Our job now is to share the Harry Potter legacy, to keep it alive. Let those who come after you discover the joy these books have given you. In our memories, he shall live forever. Vow to show your children the magic Harry showed to you. Enjoy the memories you’ve made with Hermione and Ron, and share them with the next generation. Despite the sadness of the end, I know this legacy will last forever. Let’s keep Harry, Ron, Hermione, and everyone else from Hogwarts alive in our hearts. If we do, then Harry Potter will never have really ended. Very few, or very many, of you will read this, and if you do, I ask you one thing: never forget. Everyone can help keep the magic alive. Sadness is found across the globe at the thought of the end of Harry Potter. Only, must it be the end?

Now read again from the beginning and look at the first letter in the first word of every sentence, including this one.
