The Hawk

-
(Red Tailed Hawk by Steven Nakamura)

Where did you go? The Hawk is my friend. Never really became tangled with the web that was that forest. He always flew high above looking down as the animals would call for him to come to them. That was how the forest called all the animals into those long twisted branches. The hawk only came down when he knew he could fly away once again. The hawk was never afraid of the forest, but just did not want to be apart of the fight to climb up the mountain. He knew he could visit any of the animals that climbed it, and knew that he could take over if he wanted to rise above those animals. He just never had any interest to be apart of that life. Having wings gave him a wide span to explore where the other animals could not follow. I was only one of his many friends that would smile with glee when he came to see us in the forest. He was friends with many of the animals, and yet with many animals that knew him, he only was drawn to only a few of the animals, not because he had enemies, but he just didn't wish to be among the masses of the forest. Maybe he saw something in the animals that the other animals were too blind to see. The Hawk just sat back and watched as the other animals would dance, laugh, smile, cry, stab, and bleed. He wasn't in the shadows unknown to the animals. We always knew he was there in that forest with us. Could he knew that the animals would have turned on him just as they did with the other animals that they praised and loved? The Hawk had his own problems just as the other animals in that forest. Why did he come to that forest? Did he seek salvation? Did he seek truth? Did he seek friendship? I don't know what would motivate the hawk to that forest, but I knew what would drive him out. Maybe he is trying to not leave that forest alone. Maybe he wants to save an animal that deserve better than the power struggle that devour so many animals before he came across that forest. I hope he can fly away from that forest. God knows he should be the only one that would make it out of that place.

Disclaimer: This post is going to contain spoilers to the show. I suggest finish the show before reading this or if you don't have any interest in watching the show than welcome?...I guess. My facebook has been blowing up with all the people talking about the new show to hit Netflix know as 13 Reasons Why , a story about a boy named Clay Jensen finding cassette tapes from a girl at his high school named Hannah Baker who recently killed herself. On the tapes, Hannah gives 13 reasons why she committed suicide. The show depicts heavy topics such as suicide, bullying, stalking, lying, sexual assault, and other issues that young people deal with in this age. Now I will admit that this show was difficult to get through. I would constantly yell at the television due to the frustration I would have for some of the characters and dialogue in the show. This blog post is going to be me breaking down parts of the show and how I felt about character development, story, and the messag

Dear Elizabeth

(Corn Poppy Kees Van Dongen) June 12th 2002 Dear Elizabeth, How have you been recently? I know it has been a while since I last talked to you. I can't believe it has really been almost three years since I saw you! I know we really didn't end on the best terms, but I am writing this letter to really catch up with you, because I still miss you as a friend and nothing more. I heard you moved to France a couple of months back. Mom told me that your parents are starting to come back to church and we found out through them. Just to make it clear, they were just informing us in passing, I wasn't trying to be a creep and asking about you or anything in that nature. I am glad your parents don't seem to hate me like they did before. They miss you a lot and hope you would find a college back in the states. I am doing okay in case you were wondering. I am still an art major in college and I should be finishing up by next fall. I heard five years is the new four years a
