Do You Even Fully Comprehend??

This is one of my most favorite poems ever. At times, the wording can be a little difficult, and I find myself struggling to get it right, but the message is loud and clear. And maybe that's because I've always shrugged off societal obligations and gone my own way. Since birth I've been blessed with a mind of my own, and this poem expounds on what that means.




The Road Less Traveled 
by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

...Robert Frost

My Fav Quote

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

Survival Tip #2

Make it all about you. I know people say you aren’t supposed to be selfish and you’re supposed to take into account the feelings of those around you, but I’m yelling FUCK THAT from the top of every mountain. I’m not saying that your close-knit circle of friends and family don’t matter, but when shit truly hits the fan, and the fecal matter that is your life is splattered across your face, the only person that’ll be there to clean up the mess is you. So be good to you. Buy yourself a little treat every now and then. Take you out to the movies and nice dinners. Stop allowing lame fucks to come in and shit all over you. You deserve better. And the quicker you come to this realization, the next time your life falls to pieces (and it will), you’ll have you to help put the pieces back together. Hey, I’m just trying to help you survive this chess game that is life.

Survival Tip #1

“Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night’s sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.” ~Lemony Snicket
