Something You Should Know

 


Is my mind often ponders when I sleep.

I reflect on the things I have done that day,

my future, and my past.

I imagine myself and the things I wish to do and become

and how I have grown from the past.

Which leaves me nervous for what is to come,

not knowing what my future entails

or what mistakes I have made in the past.

Perhaps I should’ve done this and not that

or maybe I shouldn’t have done this and did that?

Perhaps I should stop analyzing too much

And accept that I will continue to shape my life.

Yet, it is scary to jump into the unknown abyss, that is the future.

Without COVID would I have been able to go to the gym throug

It was the beginning rush hour. Foot traffic clogged the streets and sidewalks as everyone made their way to their destinations. The sky filled with smog and the dense compaction of people made Colt invisible in the crowd as he too walked toward his destination.Yet, today was not an ordinary day, it was the day he would attempt the heist he’d been planning for weeks. He continued on his route, turning right down an alley way toward his destination, an apartment building on lower 15th ave. He walked down the stairs to be greeted by a bodyguard at the front of the apartment door. “Id.” the bodyguard said. Colt handed over his Id, which in reality wasn’t his real Id. He had swiped it from an intoxicated man leaving the apartment a few weeks prior, and had it changed to match his appearance. He hoped
