Jimmy commented on the post, Happiness is a Choice 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Kait,
I completely agree with your post stating how happiness is all within the individual, as I have found this to be true from the adversity I have faced in my life. Happiness can be generated from what is around you, but you can only become fully content with yourself by accepting who you are and realizing that things happen for a reason. Life…[Read more] -

Mackenize,
This poem really talks of the compassion we can all share for the sports in which we play and how they mold us into who we are today. Thanks for the post! -

Abinaov, your perspective on change really spoke to me as when I was younger I moved states and was very worried about the friends I would lose, and if I gained any. Change is something we must become accustomed with because it is the only way we can accept all, and discover who we truly are. Thanks for your post

Today could not be topped in its harshness towards me
Do not attempt to convince me that
There is light in all darkness
Because, when you take a close look,
This world we live in is just hell

Annika,
Your article on the issues with pollution in our oceans was very well written and captured my attention. We need to make improvements for collecting pollutants in an efficient matter. We use the oceans water supply everyday and in order to keep it clean this message must be spread. Thank you for your post! -

Where I’m From

I am from football gloves,

I am from cold goodbyes and happy beginnings,

Olivia,
I deeply enjoyed your post as it is showing off one of the positively minded people you have in your school. It is great to have an adult to talk to in school, who you can just lay everything out to unfiltered. I play football as well and know how down to Earth some coaches can be, but when it comes to study and preparation they are as…[Read more] -

Jordan, thank you for sharing this amazing piece of writing with the world. Your piece really spoke volumes to me as it reminded me of myself. I have little pressure from my parents in my everyday life, so I can not blame them for the stress or anxiety I face each day. Stress is something that can completely damage you for a short amount of time,…[Read more]

Tala, I really enjoyed your piece of writing and thank you for sharing it with the world. This piece really speaks to me as our parents who have been watching over us these past 18 years are slowly fading out of our lives. We are approaching the end of high school and the beginning of our individualism. To truly discover ourselves we must learn to…[Read more]

James, if you get up you must walk all over your clothes.
You will come back with cloth on your feet,
small black socks that will reak.
Stay in bed, James. Lie still, do not go.

Hi Jimmy,

Jimmy,
I really enjoyed your poem. I can relate to this in so many ways. Just like everyone else I know, mornings are hard for me. I am constantly hitting my snooze button and rolling over to get more sleep. Thanks for sharing. -
This poem is really good. I can relate because mornings really aren’t my thing

Jimmy,

This writing really spoke to me and made me think of the times I used to spend in one of my old neighborhoods and I find myself exploring around it every now and again just because of the emotions that linger. It is very interesting how this type of deja vu can become ingrained deep within us and we completely forget the feeling until we stumble…[Read more]

Gigi, I agree with your post stating how beneficial mediation can be in our everyday lives. We are constantly targeted by stress and anxiety each day at school and with the implantation of yoga or meditation our ability to focus would increase and our anxiety would decrease. Alleviating as much stress as possible out of our everyday lives will…[Read more]

Cy,legalizing marijuana would increase the amount of regulation on marijuana, but it may also promote dealers to continue dealing because they can give a cheaper price than what stores may offer. I agree with your claim of how cartels would try to find a way to distribute more harmful substances than marijuana which may make the overall…[Read more]

Abi,
I agree with your idea of cleaning up waste from medical procedures. Materials used during surgery can be quite dangerous to people who may come by them such as needles. The amount of trash collected from these procedures is astounding as I feel a good amount of material can be reused, but we instead just throw it away. Creating a system of…[Read more] -

Dear Jimmy,
I am taken back by your poem, “Shadowed Happiness,” because it really brought to light all that happens on this earth. It emphasized how happiness is toyed with and how happiness is one complex concept to comprehend.
One part of your poem that stands out for me is where you were able to write the poem in such a way that when it is read in reverse, another point of view (although with the same general message) was able to be expressed with the same words. I think this is amazing because with such a small amount of text, you were able to leave me in awe once I was finished reading.
Another part that I enjoyed was when you were bluntly describing how cruel our time is. This stood out to me because it was able to open my eyes on how happiness is not an easy thing to achieve, and how it is a progress to be truly happy.
Thanks for your poem. I look forward to seeing what you make next, because I enjoyed your interesting style that I hardly see anymore. The ideas were presented concisely and effectively, and I hope your future works are just as enjoyable.
