Sometimes, you feel a heaviness,
a yearning for something intangible.
The world seems like a book, page after page filled with stories,
stories you read but no longer write yourself.
Your heart beats softly, a call for freedom,
for a moment that belongs to you, and only to you, without the rules of time.
But there is love, a flame that never fades.
It rests deep within you, waiting for you to breathe it in, to bring it to life.
⁛ It's not perfection that counts, it's the love that you give.

My heart, my words. Please respect them.
Every poem, every story, and every thought I share is a part of my soul. To take them without permission is to take a piece of me
a piece that will always remind you these words are mine and can never be yours.
Even if you alter them, it is still my soul that lingers, whispering to you: You are incapable of creating your own, and that is why you copy what belongs to others.
In order to stand next to me, you gotta match my energy~

The Brickell Avenue Bridge is a bascule bridge in Downtown Miami, Florida, that carries U.S. Route 1 (US 1; Brickell Avenue) over the Miami River.
The original Brickell Avenue Bridge was built in 1929 and replaced in 1995. The Brickell Avenue Bridge was widened by one additional northbound lane in 2006 to reduce the traffic bottleneck through downtown. Before this, there were three southbound but only two northbound lanes. Currently, there are three lanes in each direction as well as a pedestrian walkway on both sides. Still, the bridge causes frequent traffic delays on the busy Brickell Avenue when it opens. According to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the bridge opened 4,990 times in 2010.
The statue is a 53-foot bronze monument commissioned by the Florida Department of Transportation and created by Cuban Master Sculptor Manuel Carbonell in 1995. The "Pillar of History" consists of a 36-foot high carved bas-relief column that graphically narrates the lives of the Tequesta Indians, Miami's first inhabitants, and features 158 figures. At the top stands a 17-foot bronze sculpture, "Tequesta Family" portraying a Tequesta Indian warrior aiming an arrow to the sky, looking for space in eternity, with his wife and child by his side, while the son covers his face in expectation of their extinction.
Carbonell also created four bas reliefs, measuring 4-feet by 8-feet, which were installed in niches on the bridge's supporting piers. Each relief honors Miami's early founders and pioneers - William and Mary Brickell, Henry Flagler, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and Julia Tuttle.

Expectations vs Reality..
Expectation: milkyway , note. not epic, not full core, just a milkway
Reality: Hey look i can see a star or two 😉
Expectation: Awesome mad lighthouse
Reality: flakey paint job , poorly maintained barber pole impersonating as a ship deterrent device...with a light, seriously, do they still need lights ?
I found some old lighting painting crap from many years ago, partially destroyed from an exploded battery pack, mental note, don't leave batteries in devices too long
But it did have a partially functioning bit of EL wire and a red bike torch stolen from Sarah we made something outta of nothing.

Unfortunately these geese didn't know where any of the ceramic eggs were.

I think that Fall is my second favorite season after Spring, although in all honestly I really love winter as well (yes, gasp, that's right... summer is my least favorite.) Maybe its more the transition between seasons that I love the most - that expectation of the leaves turning, of the blossoms blooming. The anticipation. That feel the air has, because sometimes I just know it when I step outside in the morning and take a deep breath - I can taste the change. At first it's just a hint in the wind, a trembling secret on the breath of a breeze, and I find myself looking around, wondering: does anyone else feel this? But no one else is standing there like me, no one else is leaning against their outside railing with an elusive grin tugging at the corners of their mouth. It's just me. And for a while I carry that with me, until the leaves really start changing, until the leaf peepers with their cameras take the trees by storm. And then I think, ah well, I had to let you all in on it at some point, I suppose.
