When you run so fast to get somewhere, you miss the fun of getting there.
Life is not a race, so take it slower.
Hear the music before the song is over.
You are part of the puzzle of someone else's life.
You may never know where you fit but others will fill the holes in their lives with pieces of you.
So if you run out of reasons to live, remember that someone else's life may never be complete without you in it.

COLLEGE - Dallas Clayton


If the days have come and gone
when your mattress was on the floor
with no frame
and no sheets
(it was hung over the window)

and you've moved beyond a place
when people draw
on the microwave with markers

good luck on your journey
toward purchasing a horse
and riding it across the island
of your choosing.

If those days have not yet arrived,
take caution.
They move quickly
more so than you can predict
and should be savored while at hand

for soon you will be
pursuing said horse
and charting a map for said island
and those item cost.

Cost big.




- Dallas Clayton in The Greatest Writer Alive
