What makes me tick?

It's never just one thing.

My mind races with thoughts of

Galaxies unknown and far away,

Places I dream of traveling to and people I would love to meet.

Creating new worlds with the strokes of my pen.

Lyrics from my favorite songs.

Good friends whose jokes invoke laughter in public spaces.

Past memories that play in my head like film on a reel, as if it happened yesterday.

Pop culture references galore.

And love. Especially love.

My mind always strays,

Branches in multiple directions.

Never have I ever had a dull moment,

When my mind runs wildly and freely

on reality and imagination.
