the life-long learner

i might hate ucla

a questioner of many
a learner of every
an explorer of the unknown 
an aficionado of the known 

a lover of the present
a worrier of making rent
both put-together and torn   apart
full of contradiction and peculiar-sounding farts

in this life-size body
sits a larger-than-life somebody
this monstrosity is a kid
a little naive, stew-pid

a far-fetched dreamer
a normal-seeking feeler
a hopeless romantic
a hope-filled fanatic

this purported lover of the above
every once and a while, just needs a hug
a warm snuggle of their own
a reminder they’re not alone

below you’ll find a vlog for weeks one and two of my second quarter at ucla.

it begins with a healthy dose of deja vu, colored by a descent into mania, followed by an exploration of fire, a trip back home, and a reset with a dear friend.

do i hate ucla?
no, not really.

i'm just a little kid in a big world.
experiencing, an exciting exploration of life.
it's a fun one, and i'm grateful i have time.
then i can find out the real answer to the question.

i'm a lifelong learner after all.
