Cheers to a place that has witnessed my growth
As I have turned into a better me than I used to be

The fountain in front of the Nebraska Union
that many had soaked their feet
along with conversations that brought laughter and tears

Huskers would hold a cup of coffee under the trees
writing their uncompleted assignments
and there is me
lying in the hammock
enjoying the exceptionally nice weather in Nebraska today

There is an old saying in Nebraska that
if you don't like the weather, just wait a while.

It can be snowing on a random day in April and
kids can be outside with their tees and shorts playing football on the next day

Football season attracts the sea of red
cheering Go Big Red
The Memorial Stadium still holds an ongoing record
of consecutive sellouts and
on every game day
the stadium becomes the third largest city in the State of Nebraska

As a wise friend once said
The color of Nebraska is red
and the color of your blood is red
Therefore,
Nebraska will always run through your veins.

There is truly
No Place like Nebraska.



The pretty flower in my heart that is you
It withers and dries, now it hurts
Were you a fantasy or a dream?

Woah woah woah. Hey there! Slow down your pace and take a deep breath. Now take a look around you. Yes, you are doing fine. You are doing perfectly fine. Why the rush my dear friend?

Oh honey, look at you. Hush... don't try to explain now. You're all sweaty and tired. Take my handkerchief and wipe away the fatigue that's written all over your face. 

Oh silly you. Why the worry? You will shine when it's your time to shine. You will find what you are looking for when the right time comes. It might take some time for you to reach the goal that you are trying to achieve now but hang in there. 

Just keep doing what you are doing now. When in doubt, close your eyes and question yourself. Picture yourself doing the thing that you've always wanted to do. That's right. That smile. You're working towards that smile. 

Remember He will always be there to guide you when you are lost. 

Don't compare yourself to others. They don't know what you know. 

Just in case someone hasn't told you this today... You're amazing and beautiful in your own unique way.
