"I'm Morgan. I'm a strategic communication student aspiring to end up somewhere in the music industry on the marketing side of things. I like to think I'm pretty well balanced, but who couldn't use more art in their life? For some reason a lot of people think they know me (​doppelgangers, where ya at?) so...  if I already have a familiar face, I might as well earn a familiar name to go with it.
Treat yourself kindly and check in on your friends!"

Break
It is a job well done if the written word makes the reader uncomfortable.
Embrace the nonconformity.
Revel in the release from social stigma.


A Drop In the Ocean
On some level, all people can relate to feeling alone, no one understands them, or that they put on this false façade.
I am no exception.
It is easy to feel like a speck in the world when there is so much constantly happening.
Then there is the thought of how insignificantly small we are in comparison of the universe.
It's amazing to think of how we function. Little cogs in a great big machine. Pieces of dust on a flower.
Millions of drops in the ocean.
Each of us just one of an infinite number of "things."
Each of us full of beautiful thoughts and ideas; some just need to dig a bit deeper.
Each of us full of worries and a variety of stressors.
Each of us striving to survive and then some.
Each of us aiming to satisfy our basic needs, and then achieve our wants.
Each of us is waiting to be found.

All Around
I want to be
like a wishing well,
like the dreams,
but I'm me.
One day I'll remember
all those many years.
I'll get used to it
like listening to writing.
