These words are a collection of emotions and cerebral thoughts to document both victories and failures of an average guy living in the 21st century. The poems document reflections on past relationships, feelings on current ones, and positive outlooks on what the future might hold. Observations on current societal practices and norms are shared as well. The point of these pages are to allow the reader to grasp relatable concepts and also to interpret the words using their own experiences as the filter for comparison.
