Emerald Eyes

At school there is a girl that's my age but a grade younger. Her name is Emerald. She was in my Literature class this year though. I learned something very valuable from Emerald one day. She was trying to decide on the perfect date for a year from then for a tournament she was planning with various people in school. She looked at the exact date a year from then and shook her head and then said, "No. Because that would be expected."
Do what's not expected. Don't keep thinking your life needs a little box. I used to want to say what people will expect. I didn't want to jar them from what they know. But sometimes you have to. Sometimes I get sick of playing by their rules. That's when I do something they don't expect.
I don't believe in attending funerals.
