To The Substitute Art Teacher - Jordan Bolton
Studying like this so I can get into Columbia and live out my New York dreams.
We do not need to get rid of anger in order to give up hatred.
We do not need to renounce enjoyment in order to give up desire.
We do not need to neglect our safety in order to give up fear.
Cease to indulge the feelings that, while pretending to be necessary, actually destroy the world.
oh september, how you have my heart.
Mahmoud Darwish, Life To The Last Drop
