The grass is always greener on the side you never make it to.
At least, that’s what I used to think.
But he says I’ve got it wrong.
That the grass is always greener on the side you choose to water.
And all at once, my world changed.
I looked at him and smiled.
Asked him where he learned that line and all he said was ‘Life.’
Living. You have to choose to live.
Choose to grow, choose to give.
‘At some point in your life, you’re going to have to stop questioning the what if’s and start searching for the answers.
You’re not always going to like what you do, but you’ll never know unless you try. And the best thing anyone can do is try.’
And don’t stop. Never stop.
‘After all, you’re only 19. And this is the time in your life where you should be exploring. So explore. Live. Dream.’
And don’t stop. Never stop.
Then he kisses me.
And all at once, my world was changed.

As it says in my tagline: I'm just a writer writing about love because that's what all the cool kids are falling into these days. However, the type of love I write about is based more on the likeliness of modern day heartbreak. I originally started this blog as an outlet for therapy. I believe writing soothes the mind and allows us to express our feelings, which is exactly what I do here -- but in the form of poetry and spoken word pieces. I began writing in 2016 and I like to think the content I put out is relatable and hard-hitting since there's nothing new under the sun. You'll come to find I struggle a lot but without struggles, there is no growth, and believe me, I am growing.
Slowly, I am working towards publishing my own works. Gallimaufry (one of the categories here on my blog) is one of them. I'm also in the process of writing, "war & peace", "where two hearts unify as one", & "i sold my heart to buy yours".
Until then, feel free to linger around and read a few of my pieces; if you like what you see, be sure to hit the follow button at the bottom of my page to keep up with my posts and like & comment as you wish!
Other than that, thank you for reading my About Me page!
I'll be seeing you,
B.K. Laurel
