The Opportunist



The days are getting shorter and the nights a little more colder.
I think to myself at times just how much fun it is going to be to get older.

I work really hard and studied really hard to.
How about the rest of you?

"I take a walk or go for a run to collect my thoughts".
"When I am craving something healthy I eat some apricotes"
Swimming can be exciting as well.

When I swam several lengths of the pool, "I feel like I am under some kind of spell". After my workout I feel the urge to do backflips and shout to the rooftops and sound the bell.

My inspiring feelings of accomplishment make me feel so well.
What the future holds for me only time will tell.

I am a hopeless romantic, but I still keep on searching for someone to love. more…
