Opinion Prompt 3 - Time is worth much more than money.

   Time is absolutely worth more than money for me. While I completely recognize the importance of money, I will never be a person who thinks money is the most important thing. If you were offered one day to spend with someone you never see, or one hundred dollars which would you take? It's a no-brainer for me. Seeing, say a friend from camp, is much more valuable to me than money. Yes, I could go get a new outfit. Or I could have a great time with my best friends. Spending time with people have made me the person that I am today and I would much rather spend even more time with those who helped shape me than get some new music. 
   I am in the process of saving money for a trip. Next summer I am planning on going to Poland and Israel with my summer camp. It's an incredibly large amount of money, but for one week in Poland and four weeks in Israel, I think it will be more than worth it. The time will be well spent because of what I'm doing and who I'm with during that time. I've spent the past two summers at camp with these people, and I wouldn't not trade those summers for anything. The time I've spent with everyone at camp is worth more to me than I could possibly tell you. Money has value in our world, but time has more value to me.
 

Waiting.

See that girl?
She seems sweet.
She seems outgoing.
She seems friendly.
She seems loved.
She seems to be happy.
But really look at that girl,
She's waiting.
She's shy.
She's hurting.
She's stressed.
She's lonely.
She is heartbroken.
Really look at that girl,
She's waiting.
For somebody.
Anybody.

Creative Writing Prompts #339

#339- Write about five things you would do to entertain yourself if you did not see a soul for seven days.

1.) Read. I spend so much time reading as it is, so it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary and I wouldn't have anyone distracting me.
2.) Draw. I am an awful artist, so I never draw with people because of how my art looks so bad next to theirs. I would draw my heart out and not care how awful it is.
3.) Sing. I love to sing- I'm involved with musicals and choir, but I in no way have a spectacular voice. With no one to hear me crack on the high notes, I could sing all day long.
4.) Dance. Again, I love dancing but I don't just dance without choreography in fear of it looking horrendous. If there was no one to see my unimpressive improv, I would run around dancing.
5.) Yoga. To relax, to breathe, to think. I just love yoga, and could do it for hours at a time.

Art.

This picture is titled "Playground". I personally am not too fond of this type of neoclassic paintings- I prefer more modern art. But this painting by Jacques-Laurent Agasse really stood out to me. I love that this was considered to be a playground back then, but to people like me it at first just looks like an open space in a woods. The closer you look, the more you're able to see. You see the home made swing, you see the wheel barrow being used for play, you see people just having a good time. To me, this painting reminds us that people back then were just the same as we are now. They were still people who care about family and friends and like to have a good time, which we often forget about when studying history. 

"Everybody feels lucky for having you as a friend." (224 words)

This fortune, actually makes me think. "Everybody feels lucky for having you as a friend". I feel like I'm a good friend -as this fortune implies- but am I really? Am I the friend you'll go to for advice? Am I at the same time the friend you'll ask to come shopping with you? Can you sit with me for hours talking about nothing -yet talking about everything? Am I that person that you could honestly trust with anything, with your life? "Everybody feels lucky for having you as a friend." or so my fortune says. If I a friend if they felt lucky to have me as a friend, what would they say? They would say "yes" of course. But would they say yes because they really meant it, or because they didn't want to hurt my feelings? Would they lie to save my feelings, or would the truth amp up my self confidence? "Everybody feels lucky for having you as a friend." Why lucky? Am I that person that they know can get them out of trouble if needed? Am I that person that go to when they feel they can't go and talk to anyone else? "Everybody feels lucky for having you as a friend." Funny, how a fortune with such good intent can cause doubt of oneself.

The Letter P

People don't hear my when I scream
"Please! Listen to me!"
Proving, how selfish everyone is.
Phobia's are getting the best of us,
Passing by us, our lives are.
Polite, but no real emotions coming out.
Phsyical feelings, nothing mental, or real.
Pictures proving we had emotions at one point in time.
Perfection the only goal. The unacheivable goal of all those
People.

It Won't Have To (Poem)

It won't have to keep going,

It won't have the courage to.

It won't have to think about anyone,

It won't be able to.

It won't have to feel anything,

Until it comes to you.

It won't have to learn,

It won't have to try.

It won't have emotions,

It won't have to cry.

It won't pay any attention,

As you say goodbye.

But it won't have to end,

Just give it the stage.

It won't hurt to think,

Once you've freed it from it's cage.

It won't dread feeling something,

Because you've left it an open page.
