Poetry, Parents, People, Writing, Enough

The problem is that too many adults think their kids' lives are simple, or they try to make their lives simple, when their emotional lives are just as complicated as ours. They might have a few less tools to deal with it because they're young, but the emotions are all the same, and the subject matter is all the same. Sherman Alexie

Simple, Tools, Think, Problem, Emotions

I'm not even mad at the things I said that were a little dicey. Nas

Respect, Curious, Mistakes, You, Moments

Time, Style, Think, Eye, New, Matter
