suddenly it's December
and you're not 17 anymore
and you haven't been 17 for a very long time.
and you're not 17 anymore
and you haven't been 17 for a very long time.

"What's your Roman Empire?"
Also, saw someone said their Roman Empire is "remembering almost all the greatest minds of the history were messed up mentally, died tragic deaths due to their illness"

"أتحسبُ الناس كالأبواب تطرقها؟
أتحسبُ الفتح سهلاً بعدما انغلقوا؟
أتحسبُ الناس بيوتاً أنت تسكنها؟
أتحسبُ اللجوء سهل بعدما خُذلوا؟
أتحسبُ الناس بالأعذار تُرجعهم؟
أتحسبُ العذر يجدي بعدما حُرِقوا؟"

At lunchtime I bought a huge orange—
The size of it made us all laugh.
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave—
They got quarters and I had a half.
And that orange, it made me so happy,
As ordinary things often do
Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park.
This is peace and contentment. It’s new.
The rest of the day was quite easy.
I did all the jobs on my list
And enjoyed them and had some time over.
I love you. I’m glad I exist.
