A Lil Ode To Walk
a lil ode to walk
anyway yesterday i took a walk! the grass was sooo green and the sky was so blue and the trees were pretty and golden! the air was fresh yet mellow warm! a dog walked up to me to greet me! a baby smiled at me! i walked 10,000 steps and my body said thank you! that's what life is all about.

you have to let yourself feel the good things, even if they often feel too light, to implausible to be true.
even if you know they might be gone sooner than you think.
that's the hardest part, you still have to let yourself feel the good things.
