Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

It is a great thing to be at your age... you are at a very specific time of age ... an age where you can follow all your dreams. but also at an age when you can change-you can change your dreams, you can change paths. when you start something when you're young, you should not decide 'this is it, this is my way and i will go all the way.' you have the age where you can change. you get experience, and maybe dislike it and go another way. your age is still an age of exploration.

Eulogies never talk about what was on your resume. be remembered for how you made people feel and your passions
Passion People Eulogy
I wish that we lived in a time and a generation where people would stop viewing my honesty as overly emotional. people always act like i spend my life crying in a dark room. i don't, i'm good. i'm a man. i want to be remembered as an artist that gave you a piece of me, as opposed to some surface bullshit. i don't think people realize that we die, we leave here, and either they forget about you or remember you. and how they remember you is up to you. i just want to be remembered as a poet that was open and honest because i wake up every morning and i'm me.

I'll always remember when i bumped into good morning america's robin roberts on a flight to my mother's funeral in 1994, and how kind she was during that difficult time.

Long before morning i knew that what i was seeking to discover was a thing i'd always known. that all courage was a form of constancy. that it is always himself that the coward abandoned first. after this all other betrayals come easily.
