I’d rather watch a movie that spanned only a few days
Than some adventure
Spanning years
A lifetime
The best stories happen in a week
Or less
Those defining weeks
That feed off our souls
Or nourish them
This week my grandfather died
Two hours after I got into a college
Three days before I turned eighteen
Zeeb told me this was beautiful
I said it was stressful
Don’t worry Zeeb, I thought it was beautiful too
Sometimes I think we live in weeks
Instead of years
But maybe it’s more like moments
The moments that fill the weeks
Are more important
Make me a movie that runs moment to moment
Moving me deeply
Through them
Make me a paradox of a movie
Sad and happy and crying and
Smiling
