stand clear of the closing doors, please

I'm Devin. I'm a writer, a New Yorker, and I'm trying to fulfill some kind of destiny. I'm not sure what that entails, but I'll let you know once I find it.

Hi Tumblr,

I know I don’t come back here too much and that probably won’t change but I wanted to talk about the past month. 

September, in terms of personal growth, has been one of the best months of my entire life. 

I’ve seen unprecedented growth right before my eyes. 

-I’ve lost 7 pounds- all diet -I’ve gotten back into my yoga practice and my body feels much more streched out and nimble. Now it’s time to do some weightlifting and core workouts to complement this.  -After paying no attention to my Goodreads 2016 goal, I jumped right back into it. I read two books this month and I’m 3/4 of the way done with a third. I’ve already got my next two books queued up. After reading 4 books through August with my goal for the year being 13, it looks like I’m going to storm my way to my goal.  -My MacBook’s hard drive fried and I had to take notes in one of my classes with a notebook and holy shit I pay so much more attention and take better notes under those circumstances. Maybe if I did this during the entirety of my college career, I would’ve done better.  -Other people are beginning to take notice of me.

We’re doing it.

I want a flower tattoo. I don’t know what flower it’ll be, or where it’ll be, or when I’ll get it, or if it’ll be by itself or a part of a bigger piece, but I want a flower.

It’s the least I can do.

Good to know.

It’s pretty wild how four years of school have gone by so quickly. I feel like I didn’t take the time to stop and breathe it in. It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t make the most of the opportunities I was given, but more on that later. 

This is the fifth year. The last year. A new beginning. A new chance to do something special. 

The last four years weren’t anything special. This one is going to be the best damn year I’ll have yet. I’ll set the foundation for greatness and build on myself at every chance that I get. I’ll build relationships and further strengthen the foundation of the ones I already have. I’ll outwrestle my demons. The best part is that the next year will be even better than this one. 

The best is yet to come. 

I’ve got something for you.

I’m trying my best here for ya. 

[norwoodavenue]

I am constantly trying to be better. Today, I was better. Tomorrow, I will be better. I will continue to become better. 

[altaria]

I wish I was busier, but I also wish I could appreciate this free time better. All I’ve ever been used to is being busy and on the go and always working, so finding stuff to do in the meantime of waiting around for this job to get back to me is difficult for me. And when the time comes around that I will be busy with my job and my internship on the weekend or in the evening, I’m going to bitch and complain about time I don’t have.

Sigh. I wish I could enjoy life a little easier.

[norwoodavenue]

Write. 

[norwoodavenue]

I woke up this morning missing you next to me. Mere minutes in each other’s arms is not enough for me. You and I could be sandwiched on top of each other, lips on lips, skin on skin, and I would still want to pull you in closer. 

[norwoodavenue]

A new beginning

In order to be reborn, we must die. 

In order to rebuild, we must destroy. 

Beyond the wall, beyond the tattered grounds of the old world lays hope. Hope for a better future, hope for kept promises and fulfilled potential. 

It is time. It has always been time. My legs lay restless with anticipation to climb this wall to the world beyond. 

I welcome death’s embrace. I want to die, to be reborn again. 

[spiritualevolution1111]

We are standing at the edge of a new world, a new way.  But you’ll have to leave the old behind. Who is going to step forward with me?
