There've been moments when I thought I really saw into a person. Looked into their eyes and they were completely open and honest.
But it's just a moment and that person will never be just like they were right then.

Alright 2014. 

Happy and safe holidays, the Chen's. 2013

i love my life. and everything that's mine.

the world isnt round, it's a prism.

I don't know anything.
& you don't really, ever.
know anything.

All you have is feelings.
that something
is right or wrong,
based mostly on your gut
and what you choose
to believe from what you hear.

So you go with feelings 
and change the world
around you till things
inevitably change & you
realize everything is just
fragments of reality
folding and unfolding
planes of a prism.

and where you look the longest
depends on those feelings and
people who hold your heart the most.
